A better understanding of FGC is needed greatly in places like the European Union and the United States where some refugees and immigrants from Africa have brought the traditions of FGC with them. Since the mid-1990s with an influx of publicity, growing awareness and public condemnation of the practice has led to the passage of legislation criminalizing FGC in 24 African countries and 12 industrialized countries (WHO 2013). Some women who refuse to be cut have been able to successfully seek…

Edmund Cooper, a prolific speculative fiction writer, writes in one of his books, “I am rebelling against imprisonment. I am rebelling against tyranny of the mind. I am rebelling against a collection of machines with interchangeable faces.

Both plaster posters everywhere, England taking on plain white posters with the emboldened words: “STRENGTH THROUGH UNITY. UNITY THROUGH FAITH,” used to indoctrinate the people in an effort to gain and sustain power. Oceania is no stranger to indoctrination through public posters, commonly using the face of Big Brother to relay the message of the words below him “Big Brother is Watching You,” but, most comparable to V for Vendetta are the posters displaying the principles of Ingsoc: “WAR IS…

Atkins 1 As the dust of the second world war began to settle, reparations of civilizations and relationships were on the rise. Countless people had lost everything because of this bloodbath, and sadly the road to a life of normality was long and arduous for the citizens of post-war Germany. Although the war had ended, peace was not plentiful. Even before the end of World War II, a new struggle was developing between the United States and the Soviet Union (Schmemann 23).
