Live In A World Iron Cage

In other words, consumers can make their decisions through the interaction with industry by way of commodities, and in this interaction, categorization works as a determinant fact...

Status Quo White Male
911 wordsDuring the 1960 s and 1970 s movements emerged such as second wave feminism, civil rights and gay liberation whose previously silenced and marginalized voices suggested that the white male was no longer the only hero of the story.

It also enables me to return to, what I consider to be, one of the m...
