Animal Rights “I am in favor of animal rights as well as human rights. That is the way of a whole human being.” Abraham Lincoln. Over time animals have been exploited and lost their freedoms.

A POINT OF VIEW? "We focus so much on our differences, and that is creating, I think, a lot of chaos and negativity and bullying in the world and I think if everybody focused on what we all have in common - which is - we all want to be happy"-Ellen DeGeneres.

The selfie went viral all over social media and what was thought to be a…

Not All Ladies Are Lady Like! When people talk about women’s right’s people might mention Mia Hamm, Susan B. Anthony, Alice Paul. What about in TV shows?

A Time of Transition "Middle age is when your age starts to show around your middle (Lockwood-Huie)."

Legally Blonde: A Meditation of Stereotypes Gender stereotypes are simplistic. Stereotypes do not bother to take account of the thoughts, behaviors, and individual desires of a person, merely taking interest whether or not the person is male, female, or nonbinary. In film franchises, such as Legally Blonde, writers and directors insist on propagating stereotypes despite the ongoing evolvement of archetypes in current society. Although in the final moments of the flick, Elle Woods surpasses such…

As being said in the rubric, Easter Island covers almost 64 square miles in the South Pacific Ocean, specifically located 2,300 miles from Chile’s west coast and 2,500 miles east of Tahiti.

characteristics of a man. According to Stanley, “Women either had to compete—head-on, in the aggressive style of Paula Poundstone or Lisa Lampanelli—or subvert the form and make themselves offbeat and likable, the way that Whoopi Goldberg and Ellen DeGeneres do. As Elaine May used to say regarding improv, “When in doubt, seduce.” By and large, however, stand-up comedy is tougher and meaner, and the women who do it play by men’s rules.” (Stanley 14). Lawson rejects these socially constructed…

Another way Katniss maintains her image and increases her likability is through her style. The citizens of Panem take into deep consideration one’s apparel and poise, as this determines an individual’s ability to impress. If someone does not possess enough of an intriguing image, then people will divert their attention elsewhere.
