Our society seeks order in every sense of the word; from the government to the mere desk of a student, it demands organization and despises disorganization. Messiness has always been shown in a negative light, often being associated with laziness, and many suffer from embarrassment when unexpected guests witness a room with objects strewn across the floor. But why? Why must messiness be bad? Why must untidy people get yelled at for preferring an environment that is comfortable for them? There is…

Shakespeare’s representations of women in Much Ado About Nothing and The Taming of the Shrew are still highly relevant in our present context despite society and technological development. The societal expectation for women to marry before a certain age is reflected in Beatrice, Hero as well as Katherine from The Taming of the Shrew this coincides with the repeating motif of a women’s value being based on her marital status and virginity.

doctor's treatment. Ordinarily, in the right state of mind, she would have sought treatment, but her fragile state let society's views warp her way of thought.

Having female leaders in a high school lead to feelings of inferiority and vulnerability.

Seeing a parent’s perspective and fear that their daughter could be forced into feeling unworthy based off…

chains of slavery. He realized that learning how to read and write would be the first big step to freedom. At the end of Chapter VI, Douglass is enthralled in this revelation in which Mr. Auld had aided. It seems as though Douglass used his master’s shunning as a fire under his will and determination to learn. The last example of Douglass’ criticism of United States politics is his surprisingly critical thoughts of the Underground Railroad. This “railroad” was conducted for the purpose of…
