Instead of offering solace to self-doubt, Szymborska revels in ambiguity and uncertainty implying humans merely exist without an objective purpose or special significance. She questions the existential in her poem Astonishment and Maybe All This to reflect the absurdity of existence as well as human ignorance in attempting to answer it. In Astonishment she…

For example, citizens are given the right to vote, the right to bear arms, and have the First Amendment which includes the freedom of speech, religion, and press etc. It would almost be impossible for a citizen who has been accustomed to obtain this much freedom and protection from these amendments to be controlled by a system that…

The documentary displays videos and graphic stories about personal occurrences with rape, and although given the option to skip these stories, the video itself was still a troublesome watch. Even though the video may have been…

One big moment does not define our relationship; instead, many different and special…
