Adamopoulou makes several statements about infidelity; one that it is an activity that peaks in the summer, two that in America men and women cheat about equally, and…

Liberal feminists look at gender as an explanatory variable, comparing, for example, the rate of gender inequality with the use of violence internationally (Tickner and Sjoberg 2013, 209).

Reality is a complex thought exhibited within a singular dimension, the true world. Aldous Huxley once asserted, “there are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception.
