A Review of the Literature

If asked to name the “national dish of Britain,” the average person is likely to say, “there is nothing more British than fish and chips,” but he or she might be wrong as it all depends on the criteria used to determine the national dish (Castelow, 2013). If popularity is the yardstick, then fish and chips would miss the mark, since each year in the UK it is outsold by hamburgers, fried chicken, pizza, and Indian and Chinese food (Alexander, 2009). And while this is true, fish and chips still play a vital role in the economic success of ...

In a very subtle way it depicts the patriarchal structure of the society and what it means to be a liberated woman.

CRITICAL REVIEW OF THE ROLE OF CRISIS IN INDUCING POLICY CHANGE
