deal with poverty everyday, this worldwide dilemma
has failed to be recognized as the critical and
longstanding killer that it is. Being such a
widespread problem, it exists in all countries
around the world. It is so immense of a problem
that people suffering from poverty in countries
like Nigeria, India, and even the United States
survive by drinking and bathing with contaminated
water and searching for leftover food in
neighborhood trash cans t...

I have always been intrigued by Chinese
philosophy. As a little boy growing up on the
island of Luzon in the Philippines, I would try to
read my uncles college books on philosophy and try
to understand what is going on. I had no idea what
was going on. Maybe it was because I was young,
but I did not understand anything I was reading.
Let us now go to the present. I am now in college

Rose For Emily Miss Emily

A Southern Belle for Faulkner: Social Criticism in
Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily" William Faulkner's
Rose for Emily is not just a story of tragic love,

us a story of Emily Grierson, who we can associate
with a classical southern belle of the time. That
