As time has gone on, the Internet has grown into one of the leading ways to communicate with other people. Whether it is an Instant Message, E-mail, or wall posts, this generation has it all right at their fingertips. This type of technology gives one the chance to publicly share their information about both themselves and their daily lives to other online users and friends all across the world. Though this may sound like a wonderful piece of social technology, a huge number of problems have been linked to the children and teens of this newer generation and the Internet.

...aspired to be like men. Throughout history women have fought for freedom and for society to view them as equals to men. Unfortunately, marriage in the Nineteenth Century is the only acceptable position for a woman. In Margaret Fuller’s book, Women in the Nineteenth Century, she describes the different types of marriages. The first type, the household partnership, is merely a convenience and a mutual dependence. The man is the provider and the woman is the caretaker. The second type is a mutual admiration, where man and woman share pure feelings with one another. The last is a marriage of intellectual companionship, where the man and woman are friends. The “transition of marriage in earlier times is that of convenience” (Fuller). These marriages lead many women to feel heavily burdened, both mentally and physically. In the literary works “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin, both women are characterized as victims oppressed by their marriage and their strong desire to be free. In each story, the women depicted are oppressed in their marriages. In “The Yellow Wallpaper,” the unidentified woman is taken to a summer house by her husband, John, so she may recover from her condition of a nervous depression more commonly known today as post-partum syndrome. Here, she is isolated from her friends and family and confined to a room with barred windows and “revolting” yellow wallpaper. John, also a physician, thinks it is best...

...Critically assess the effect of Social Media on society Social media as defined by Andreas M and Michael (2010, p. 61) is “a group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, and that allow the creation and exchange of user-generated content.” Social media platforms include chat rooms, blogging web sites, social networking sites, forums, and also text messages and e-mail (Luxton, June and Fairall, 2012). The most popular social networking site, Facebook has made such an influence on society that from 2004 to 2011 the number of users registered to the site increased from 1 million to about 1 billion users worldwide (Yahoo Finance, 2012). With such vast figures social media is bound to have an impact on the way society operates, either positively or negatively, or both. These will be critically analyzed in this essay, identifying the most crucial impacts it has on our society. With the rapid increase in the awareness and use of social networking sites, it has provided positive contributions to how society functions. First and foremost, social networking has grown to become a critical part of a business’s marketing strategies, and if managed efficiently, will prove to be a major factor for its success. Social media networks such as Facebook and Twitter have provided an easy-to-access platform for people to share their views, preferences, and experiences about brands and products. Once this information gets widespread through...

The Spanish Inquisition was was a period in history that occurred because of ideas synonymous to those of the Salem Witch Trials, they had the same idea of targeting personal enemies with invalid reasoning causing unfair denunciation of many innocent people.

...Introduction Charles Darwin born 12 February, 1809 was an English geologist and naturalist. Alfred Wallace born 8 January 1823 was a British explorer, naturalist, geographer, biologist and anthropologist. Darwin and Wallace are highly regarded for their significant contributions to the theories of evolution. It is very important to compare the individual lifestyles, contributions, and beliefs of Darwin and Wallace in order to develop a clear and comprehensive understanding of their concepts of natural selection in evolution. According to Janet Browne (2010) in her biography of Darwin, she describes the similarities in the life experiences of Darwin and Wallace that led them to independently arrive at the theory of natural selection. Both Wallace and Darwin were inspired by the readings such as Charles Lyell and Thomas Malthus. Browne notes that, “Even so, the parallels between Darwin’s and Wallace’s ideas are no less remarkable for their cultural symmetry. Their similarities are further demonstrated by them sharing similar geographical exploration and travel experiences and their mutual appreciations of their marvels of nature and overwhelming desire to comprehend them…” (Browne 2010: 357). The two theorists examined the concepts of natural selection independently until its publication. By the 1958, Darwin had already developed his idea on natural selection but had not published it as he was still collecting more evidence. After his previous research had been destroyed in...

...Slavery in Ancient Rome Rome as far research show had always exploited slaves, however during the early Republic Rome saw its slave population multiply significantly from a series of wars and conquests. This paper will discuss the rights and responsibilities of Roman slaves during the Republican era and early empire. It will also analyze the impact slavery had on Rome’s economic situation as well the impact on roman society and culture. Rome did not always have such an abundance of slaves. It was not until they conquered Corinth and sacked Carthage did they amass a significant amount of slaves. Some authors estimate that the number of slaves reached 300 000-350 000 in a total population of 900 000- 950 000 in Rome during the Augustan era.[1] It is of course impossible to determine the exact amount of slaves during this time, but nevertheless this estimate of slaves is still one third of the population. The Punic Wars between Rome and Carthage mark the beginning of Rome’s “addiction” to slavery. After Rome had consolidated the main land of what is now Italy, this brought them into contact with much greater powers. The first Punic War (264-241 B.C) began when both Rome and Carthage took interest in Sicily.[2] Herodotus notes the significance of this first of many battles by comparing it to the battle of Salamis. He states, “They say too, that the victory of Gelo and Thero in Sicily over Hamilcar the Carthaginians tell out upon the very day that the Hellenes...

...migrate to Harlem and that’s when it all started. Harlem was the place the largest group of African Americans moved to during the African American Great Migration. Most African Americans came for work and a hope for a new life. Places such as The Apollo Theater and The Cotton Club, and Musicians, Writers and Actors were a part of the Harlem Renaissance. That’s what made the Harlem Renaissance. It was time for a cultural celebration.” African Americans had endured centuries of slavery and the struggle for abolition.

...Patriarchal Oppression and Cultural Discrimination in Jane Eyre and Wide Sargasso Sea “In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different” (Coco Chanel) “We may have all come in different ships but we’re in the same boat now” (Martin Luther King, Jr.) “Share our similarities, celebrate our differences” (Morgan Scott Peck) These quotations, which were uttered in the 20th century, have in common that to be different is regarded not only as tolerable but also as something that should be pursued. Also, they reflect the process of increasing tolerance towards females and foreigners, which in many countries has taken place during the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century, with the result that, today, these two groups are widely, although by far not entirely, regarded as equal. However, only two centuries ago, people who were different or ‘other’ were considered subordinate or even frightening, and in the 19th century, this was true for both females and people from the orient or colonized people (Barry 134, 193). In Jane Eyre (JE), published in 1847, and in Wide Sargasso Sea (WSS), the prequel or paraquel of JE that was written about one hundred years later and published in 1966, the two female protagonists, Jane, a female orphan, and Antoinette, a female Creole, struggle against displacement and patriarchal oppression and, in Antoinette’s case, also against imperialistic domination. In JE, the reader learns that Jane can handle this pressure whereas Antoinette/Bertha1...
