All these scholars were gathered around Gertrude Stein as around a true pioneer of feminism and gender studies. The linguistic revolution that took place in hers works was astonishing and impressed all of them. She ...

Careers that involve the application of mathematics, science and engineering skills contribute majorly to the economy. Despite the fact that women have made progress in their education in the past 50 years, the disciplines that involve mathematics, science and engineering courses are still dominated by men.

The negative attitude that women have towards these subjects is the primary reason they chose to study other disciplines. The attitudes are mainly shaped by the societal norms, the legal system, and the professional practice that the women get.

Koso impregnated the girl at the very tender age of 12 when he was in his 20s, before he actually married her some two years ...

The situation in the education sector has changed significantly from the past few decades. The number of young children finishing high school and joining colleges and other tertiary institutions is increasing by the years. This brings to question whether the decision of parents letting their children join college as soon as they are through with high school is beneficial. There are advantages and demerits of taking children directly from high school to college without giving them a gap year to adjust. However, there is sufficient evidence alluding to the fact that moving directly from high school to college allows ...

Ethic is defined as a system of moral values or set of principles (standards) of right conduct. All societies, including institutions and professions, have their ethics.
