Why Muslims Shouldn’t be Banned from the United States On a cold, windy afternoon in October, 13-year-old Malika rushes through the doors of her school as the final bell rings. Her classmates’ jeers and insults echoing around her. “‘Terrorist!’,’Traitor!’, ‘Go back to where you came from!’,” they shout. But this is where she came from. Malika, her parents, and their parents before them were all born here, but her classmates do not care. Malika has done nothing to deserve these foul insults…

To a certain extent it can be argued that there was little to no change in the years 1625 – 88, however when compared to society in years’ prior there is a significant transformation in many different elements of society during 1625-1688. There is some limited evidence to support the view that there was little to no transformation to society in years 1625-88.

“There is no marvel in a woman learning to speak, but there would be in teaching her to hold her tongue” ― Elizabeth I Tudor (goodreads.com). However, Queen Elizabeth I never held her tongue when she could have a say in matters. In many ways, Queen Elizabeth was one of the very first women in the 1500s to dominate her own era.

formidably dominated. Memorable unruly characters and lasting theatrics, where the Bard releases piquant humor and mischief in The Taming of The Shrew (Shr.), c. 1593, one of his first comedies (The British Library). Aptly, the play satirizes mores of its Tudor epoch, stirring and plays within a play where diction bites. Theatrically, the work is based, in principle, about courtship upsetting dynamics, marital proposals, and aftermath nuptial strife of its barking lovers. The protagonist…

Importance of Sleep for Correct Cognitive and Bodily Functioning I had experienced a complete flip of my circadian rhythm. I was sleeping during the day and attempting to function at night. I was experiencing the world in darkness. Going to sleep at 7 in the morning and waking up at 5 in the evening takes a toll on the body both mentally and physically. At the time my life was at a standstill. I had no obligations during the day to be awake for, I had nowhere to be and no one to see. It…

Dance plays an extremely large part in Irish culture. It serves as a basis for Irish ritual, as it has not only been used in courtly ceremonies but has also been seen in funeral rituals throughout Irish history. Today, Irish step dancing is an extremely serious and competitive sport. Although traditional Irish dance has undergone many changes to reach its current grandeur, Irish dance has a humble beginning as a social activity designed to bring people together. The first mention of Irish dance…

“Women are the largest untapped reservoir of talent in the world” said Hillary Clinton. Today there is still so much work needed to improve the rights of women. Even though the role of women has dramatically changed since early modern society, we still face problems of inequality. It is difficult to believe how different the role of a woman in early modern Europe was compared to today when we are still not satisfied with the role that women are allowed to play. However, it is arguable that…
