Anyone in the world can label themselves as being a feminist. If I were to walk up to someone on the street and ask them if they were a feminist, I would either get a yes or no in response. For this reason, simply claiming to be a feminist holds nowhere near as much significance as to why one is a feminist.

quotes Harry Truman’s speech from 1949 where he outlines his famous “Truman Doctrine”: his concept of a “fair deal” for the whole world and his appeal for western countries to solve the problems of “underdeveloped” countries .

After that day, I wanted a better life than I have right now and also a better future. That change has made me…

important lessons. He met two of them on the first part of his journey, the sheep and the king. The third teacher was the alchemist. Each teacher played an important role in the outcome of the book and each helped Santiago to find his treasure. The first teacher the boy had was the sheep. It says in the book that “the sheep had taught him something even more important: that there was a language in the world that everyone understood, a language the boy had used throughout the time he was trying…
