OBAMA CARE

The term Obama care is more or less a derogatory term coined by the critics of the affordable care act put in place by president Barack Obama. The literal meaning of the term Obama care is quite disturbing to say the least. This is because it refers to the type of care that is more inclined towards president Barack Obama as opposed to the entire nation. The question thus arises as to the true nature of this Obama care and whether or not it favors the greater good of the nation or it is a desperate plan by Continue reading...

This epic book captures the mood and the general feeling at the times of World War 1, when one of the most lethal viruses called influenza erupted in an army camp in Kansas.

When the army moved eastwards, influenza moved with them and in the process, it killed millions of people. It is sad to note that, the epic influenza killed more people in a period of twenty-four months, more than AIDS ever did in twenty-four years. For Continue reading...

This paper proposes to delineate the characteristics of Holden Caulfield, the adolescent protagonist hero of J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye and illuminate the reasons as to why this prototype of brooding adolescence, displaying a rather uber-cool style of disaffection, disenchantment and disillusionment became an indispensable figure of interest, in literary circles as well as popular culture.

An unwillingness to change Continue reading...

On the contrary, today, the aforementioned institutional influence has declined as the society transforms into a more advanced technological and information age. The development of mass media in the society has caused an imperative change Continue reading...
