Failing never feels good when it happens initially. No one enters into a commitment with an intention to fail. Most people pursue a goal with the expectation to succeed. Unfortunately, failure is a phenomenon that cannot be avoided. Rather than perceiving failure as a negative event or incident, there is something quite valuable to learn when one fails. Without failure growth would be limited. I have heard many times throughout life that “we learn from our failures.” When I was younger I did not understand this concept, and even as I matured this idea did not sound appealing. However, ...

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 ...
