Negative Effects of Social Media on Teenagers It is recess time at a middle school. The basketball court is abandoned, every type of sports equipment is locked away. All of the students are glued to their phones, scrolling through various types of social media. This anecdote showcases just how early children in America are being exposed to social media and its various effects. The early exposure follows children into their teenage years, along with all the effects that come from social media.…
Dear reader, today I wish to share an incredibly eclectic, spiralling, black tale… a tail that belongs to Mr. Dooland “Dooley the Cat” Ashwood. There is more to his wacky unusual name than meets his jewelled emerald eyes. It is an Irish name, composed of the Gaelic dubh “black” and laoch “champion”, meaning Dooley loosely translates into “Black Champion”. Honestly, the name doesn’t quite fit him perfectly. “Dubh” describes his permanent obsidian coloured fur tuxedo and perhaps his dark sense of…
Mirror Group Newspapers Ltd[4] have seemed to imply that Conditional Fee Arrangements are available to just about anyone. This issue was brought up in the London Seminar as they said that for “Hollywood actress Sharon Stone, footballer Ashley Cole, supermodel Naomi Campbell… none of these were seen denied justice on financial ground”[5].

In today's society, we are faced with a problem that was never prevalent before; a crime that goes unseen like no other, and that is rape. Along with new societal norms, we've adapted a new language, one riddled with bigotry and double standards. Disrespect is at an all time high- women are objectified and thrown around by men- and it is all due to the usage of one word: slut. This word, which is synonymous to prostitute, is used in all areas, from describing an outfit, to body shaming, to…
Composers often transform texts to adapt them in a way considered to be more suitable for a desired audience and to convey new meaning. Jane Austen’s 1815 novel, Emma, has been transformed in Amy Heckerling’s 1995 film, Clueless for a modern Western teenage audience. Emma and Clueless both stand as reflections of their time; that of Regency England and postmodern America respectively. While the general plot line remains, Heckerling has adapted the refined country setting of Highbury, England to…

Jane Hawthorn is not a welcoming woman. In her youth she maintained the physique of a supermodel a body well maintained in her old age. With the warmth of an arctic snowstorm she ran an international multi-billion dollar company she was severe. Seeing her blown huge on the tv made even the biggest strongman feel small. Which is why Louis Miller was more than a little suspicious to see her sitting in his modest law office. “ I appreciate your punctuality Mr Miller. Your assistant said you would…

Why your weight fluctuates Weight is just a number. However, it's hard not to get demotivated when you see the scale jump a pound or two overnight. The scale probably isn’t lying to you, but these daily fluctuations have little to do with fat gain and more to do with your hydration levels, exercise intensity, bathroom habits and what you have had to eat. When you weigh yourself, always remember that your weight is more than just fat and muscles. You have many other things in your body that…
