The history of international relations considering countries can be traced to the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 which ended the “thirty years of war”. The “peace of ...

INTRODUCTION

Everyone remembers stories beginning with “once upon a time” and ending in “happily ever after.” Some people see fairytales as antiquated ideologies that are not beneficial in the modern era. Others believe that they are harmless tales intended to spark children’s imagination. Fairytales can establish ideologies about good and evil and right and wrong. They are, also, filled with pointed gender role ideals and gender stereotypes that are, today, ethically questionable. In the last few decades, there has been a literary movement of taking classic fairytales and attempting to update them and eliminate many stereotypes. This leads to ...

The female protagonists embody the inner spirit of female empowerment that is brought about by the surmounting effect of the patriarchal influences as Edna faces social pressure and Nora faces onus ...

Society dictates that people, in general, should always look good where the definition of looking good means an individual is skinny, slim, or someone who maintains a healthy weight. This thinking has influenced the youths of today to adapt the same philosophy and opinions that they apply to themselves as well as to others when it comes to defining beauty, confidence, body image, body satisfaction, and self-esteem, among others.

In a coordination game where players simultaneously carry out a certain action, the playoff of the players is dependent on the effort of the said player and the smallest effort level of any of the players in the group. Coordination games are important to microeconomists. The belief is that economic growth can be impeded by low output equilibrium. Problems in coordination can ...
