She chooses not to marry for love, but instead chooses to marry for the security of a higher place in society. This dilemma is very similar to what women in the Victorian era faced. This era was a time in which society was dominated by males and social class rankings. Emily Brontë effectively conveys her feminist way of thinking and explains what women went through during the Victorian era in her novel, Wuthering Heights. Brontë uses the main character, Catherine, to reveal the unjust treatment…

this moment will always and forever be on social media for every person to see. Internet users are not aware of the harms of sharing on social media, not only to themselves but others as well.

What is social stratification? In simple terms social stratification “refers to a ranking of people or groups within a society.” (Kerbo 2006) But social stratification is not a simple subject it is a more complex idea then some may assume.
