Epic Of Gilgamesh Middle East
1,326 wordsRepresentation of Women The modern times are marked with many socio-political changes. One of them has to do with reconsidering the role of women in our society.

Bluest Eye Soaphead Church
1,414 wordsMisdirection of Anger Anger is better [than shame]. There is a sense of being in anger. A reality of presence. An awareness of worth.

Brave New World Social Control
1,087 wordsBRAVE NEW WORLD BRAVE New World was published in 1932. It is a remarkable piece of science fiction for both its time and our own.

Issues of social control are as relevant today as in 1932, perhaps more so. Reproductive technology plays a key role in the social control of Brave New World. Reproduction takes place in a Hatchery. Excised ova are inspecte...
