Numbers are simply just that, numbers; no emotion, no morals, no empathy. In multiple cases Edgar removes himself from various situations to avoid emotional connection with his surroundings through quantifying his experiences. For starters, Edgar quantifies the women around him, objectifying them by placing only white women on a scale to then pursue “the tenth most attractive white woman at any gathering” (37-38). By quantifying the women around him, Edgar removes any human connection and treats…

The Detrimental Effect of Heteronormativity We live in a world of compulsive heterosexuality. All around us we are bombarded with images and ideals of heterosexuality, from advertisements to legislation.

Not only does heteronormativity encourage the existence of heterosexuality as the only acceptable form of sexuality, it…
Beginning in the 1990’s, a new movement emerged alongside postmodernism known as Third Wave Feminism. After fighting for legal and social equality by standing up against patriarchal oppression, the goals of feminists broadened to break down concepts of gender, sexuality, and the body (Rampton).

In the 1960s, “drugs became a symbol of pride and subversion” (166). In contrast to the films made in the first half of the twentieth century, “many illegal-drug films produced in the 1960s are startling in their rejection of earlier narratives about ‘demon’ drugs” (Boyd 63). The increased acceptance of recreational drug use lead to it being more…
