One of the major plot points of the show is that both Jack and Algernon make plans with Jack’s rector to be christened with the name Ernest. The reason that they want to be christened had nothing to do with God or their faith, rather it was about actually having the name that both of their fiancés thought that they had: Ernest Worthing.…

”The words desperate fortune were more than once applied to you.” - J. Brooks Before I took the class, I barely knew anything about American History. I knew that the ideas of the American revolution were astonishing for that period of time, or that America benefited from the lend-lease campaign during WWII, or that jazz was born in New Orleans.

Most parts of Latin America have been struggling to implement or enforce democracy for the past century. The most notable examples are Argentina and Chile. Many political scientists have argued that this is mostly due to internal factors such as the corporatist culture and lack of proper structural reforms, but they do not include external pressures from the international sphere to curb communist influence in Latin America.

Afghanistan for this reason. I was happy, but unfortunately I did not have any idea that in my motherland, in the country where I belong, I would not have my freedom, my voice and most especially the right to have an education. I remember myself begging the rector of the school to accept me into the school but upon acceptance, I was called the name “Hazara” by my classmates.
