(a) ECO-CRITICISM Eco-criticism originated in a bio-social context of unrestrained capitalism, excessive exploitation of nature and worrying shapes of environmental hazards. It sees how a ‘literary text’ contributes into the ‘construction’ of nature and the politics of development (Nayar, 241). Eco-criticism focuses on the link between literature and nature.

Margaret Atwood’s dystopian MaddAddam trilogy is a text that enters a speculation into a post-apocalyptic fall-out of environmental disaster and autocratic corporations, a global pandemic and extreme bio-scientific experimentation provide the catalysts for feminine subjective becoming. Atwood positions the book as a treatise on the ambiguous potential of powerful tools, and the role of humanity in determining the fit use for such tools: "Our tools have become very powerful. Hate, not bombs,…
Think about all the horrible events of humans versus humans. There are many examples of horrible events, such as the Holocaust. Those are gross violations of human rights yet many just let it go on since it is simple to disassociate from problems that don’t directly affect you. Guatemala had not been excluded from this man versus man conflict; the US had forced leaders into Guatemala. This caused uproar of Guatemala’s people. Those rights were infringed. Rigoberta acknowledged a corrupt…

animals are being abused and left in bad conditions. That is generally almost never the case. Before research is started, it needs to be approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee and the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science. These two committees as mentioned before obtaining animals. Another misconception is that there are way too many pointless experiments done on these innocent animals. Most people insist that anything done to animal is harmful however many…
history is not easy. In human existence, great men and women have contributed to history formation. It goes beyond human self to cause a revolution.

Many scientists focused on astronomy, mathematics, and anatomy which allowed for the increase in technology, the improvement of medicine, and education. Literature also started becoming more modern as authors wanted to make a change to the old way of writing in forms of plays. Many writers started using…

For thousands of years, Europeans had accepted a man named Galen’s perception of the human anatomy.

For the first time in hundreds of years, the dissection of…

loneliness, stress and discomfort. We do not need to put animals through the unnecessary and painfully cruel reality that takes place during the use of animal testing. There is a solution to this issue that provides a positive outlook for the future of science and those who have been fighting against the inhumane standards of animal testing. “Since the 1960’s, both humane organizations and a…
