This discrimination may impact bisexuals' decisions regarding the sex of the person they choose to date. Despite being attracted to both sexes, 84% of bisexuals engage in opposite sex relationships (Pew Research Center, 2013). The mechanisms underlying these dating decisions are unclear. The present research focuses on exploring three possibilities as to why this disparity…
In this society that we live in today, as equal as everyone claim it to be, I believe it is not. Due to the simple fact that gays are still fighting for rights that they should have had decades ago. The topic today is gay adoption, and I am for it one hundred percent. There is no reason why gay couples should not be able to adopt a child, while there are thousands of children who don’t have families, and more enough ways of adopting, same-sex couples are just as loving and capable of caring for…
Transgenesis Transgenesis is the process in which an exogeneous gene (transgene) is added to an organism genome, and this results in expression of the gene which can then be passed down to its offspring. I have chosen to research how the Enviropig has been manipulated using transgenic techniques.

America’s “fear of crime” has led to today’s warehouse prisons, entrusted to enclose underclass minority groups, systematically caught in a symbiosis of the ghetto and prison; both, institutions of forced confinement designed to neutralize the threat outcasts pose to society (Wacquant, 2010). This, then, has developed a state, whereas the symbiotic relationship between the ghetto and the criminal justice system are the instruments by which the elite control the poor. Largely, due to…
Instigating authoritarian control over artistic expression allows communist dictatorships to maintain their stronghold over the minds of their people (Reid, 2015: pp. 370-371). Despite government control and censorship, intellectuals within communist nations such as China and Vietnam remain keen to publish social commentary in various literary forms. Frog (2009) is a historical fiction novel by nobel prize laureate Mo Yan illustrating the consequences of China’s widely criticised ‘one-child…

criticism and aesthetics demonstrates the relevance of these theories and aspects on women. Although with the introduction of biological methods and innovations the reproductive ability of women has been reduced to a merely procreative role, as in surrogacy and other related techniques. But womanhood as is, commonly understood, will always remain associated with reproduction and motherhood. Anne Sexton’s poem, ‘In Celebration of my Uterus,’ is a powerful expression of the persona’s delight and…
