The broad issue of gender equality and empowerment of women has been discussed in length and depth by various stakeholders in society.

The continued occurrence of incidences of gender discrimination clearly points out that the debates are yet to yield their ultimate objectives. The primary contention in all such arguments is the continuous portrayal of women as a lesser gender and thus belittling the morality and feminine’s obligations in society. Male chauvinists, who consider themselves superior and more potent have continuously ...

Abstract

The basic principle of Marxist criticism is that society is divided in social classes that are in an antagonist relation, wherein the rich and strong exploit the poor and weak. In this sense, Walt Whitman’s poem “A Noiseless Patient Spider” does not reflect the exploitative relation that Marx sees as representative for society, but he rather describes the society of one, hence an atypical society. The solitude, isolation and desolation are feelings that appear throughout the story, so the reader can understand that possession, or a high social status is not as important as companionship, or when one ...

Happiness has almost always been associated with money. This is particularly a general belief in more urban areas in which amenities and conveniences are almost always purchased by money. The argument of whether money could buy happiness or not is perennial. However, meanings of both money and happiness change over years not only for communities across ages but also for individuals over different life phases. For supporters of moneyed happiness, so to speak, happiness – interpreted as enjoying what modern life has to offer including all consumables and even spiritual practices – cannot only be achieved without money but is, in ...

According to Bain, there are three types of learners: those who do little to succeed in their education, those who are more interested in higher grades than the understanding of the curriculum contents and those who are driven by the need ...

Abstract:

Having not always been a Christian, it was a struggle to come to the light and find solace and comfort in Jesus Christ’s life and teachings.

Kurt Lewin, the father of social psychology, developed the change theory of nursing which is a three stage change model that necessitates the rejection and replacement of all prior learning. The stages in the model consist of unfreezing, change and refreezing. The change theory consists of three concepts which include driving and restraining forces and equilibrium. The driving forces ideally push a patient towards a particular direction hence facilitating change. The restraining force, on the other hand, tries to hinder the desired change by pushing the patient away from the driving forces in the opposite direction. The restraining forces' ...
