G. Tendayu Viki, Kristina Massey, and Barbara Masser
Focus of the article
The article by Viki, Massey, & Masser, (2005) showcases how paternalistic attitudes towards female offenders may influence people’s perception of the crime. The authors prove that benevolent sexism turns hostile, when the female offenders commit crimes that defy the gender stereotypes.

Emily Bronte provided perhaps one of the vivid works of romantic desperation in the form of her novel Wuthering Heights. Wuthering Heights, being one of a kind due to the immediate death of Bronte shortly after release, features the story of the owner of two manor estates told by his housekeeper to his tenant, apparently intrigued by the mystery brought by the stormy countryside and the manor he is renting.

Austin’s characters seem to better realize their own fallibilities. In Northanger Abbey the romantic relationships are between Catherine and Henry, Catherine and John, Isabella and James and Isabella and Frederick.

In Northanger Abbey, Catherine Morland meets and takes ...

World War II was bad for Europe. A comedian once said of the first World War that it would have been better for all concerned if the countries involved had simply stayed home and shot fifty thousand of their own people every week, and that sentiment also gives some idea of just how devastated Europe was after the war that followed the war to end all wars (Blackadder Goes Forth 1989). If anything that falls short of it; “unlike World War Onethe Second War—Hitler’s War—was a near-universal experience” (Judt 2005, p. 25). As many as thirty-six ...

Trying hard to overcome the current financial difficulties, the European Union is preparing to launch a new stage of integration, which aims to develop a common economic policy and the creation of a federal economic government of the Eurozone countries. London, however, is not going to participate in the transfer of the relevant authority to the central structures of the Community.

Theoretically, the kingdom wants to remain in a single economic zone of the EU, but ...
