In reality, however, Lincoln was intrinsically motivated to become well versed in law. He read and mastered Euclid’s Geometry on his own according to William Herndon. One of his friends Henry McHenry commented that Lincoln “was so studious—took so little physical exercise—was so laborious in his studies that he became emaciated and his best friends were afraid that he would craze himself.” Lincoln loved to learn and read, and that love began when he was a boy, long before he ever came to New…

The intent of boarding schools was to force American Indian youths to become United States citizens by removing them from their…

Rebelling through kawaii also appears in the materialistic mindset that has grown from the cute movement.

This makes those involved in a kawaii mindset vulnerable to impulse buys, something that companies have realized with the multitude of consumer goods produced to target the…
