‘The Medical Profession In The Bell Jar Is Presented As A Symbol Of Male Brutality.’ To What Extent Do You Agree With This Statement? The Bell Jar was written in the 1950s‚ a time when lobotomy was frequently used‚ electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) could be given without consent and a female doctor was a rare sight.

‘One flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’ and ‘The Bell Jar’ can be linked considerably. Both the novels in question are products of the author’s own experiences and the specific culture in which they were written. They both draw upon similar events throughout‚ yet the philosophy and reason behind them is often significantly contrasting. However‚ it cannot be argued that their presentation of psychological disorder and the pressure that it forces on the mind are intrinsically linked due to the circumstances

Three examples of dehumanization in the book are‚ first the tattoos on their left arms. Second‚ the barracks where they slept in 3.

Topic: Sartre said Hell is other people while Streisand sang; people who need other people are the luckiest people in the world. With whom do you agree with? The above statements present two very different perspectives regarding the social behaviors practiced around the world. One could even say that in the end it boils down to an extrovert Vs introvert or even optimism Vs pessimism debate‚ depending on how you look at it of course. But let’s not make it more complicated than it already is

Predictable changes occur in all domains of development‚ physical‚ emotional‚ social‚ language‚ and cognitive (Katz 1995).The ways that these changes are manifest and the meaning attached to them may vary in different cultural contexts. Bronfenbrenner as cited in Garbarino provides an ecological model for understanding human development

Throughout William Shakespeare’s play‚ The Merchant of Venice‚ there is a strong theme of prejudice. Portia has to deal with prejudice against her sex‚ the Prince of Morocco has to deal with prejudice against his race but the character that is most discriminated against is Shylock. He is hated for being a Jew and a money-lender‚ but Shakespeare has not made Shylock a character easy to sympathise with. He appears to be mean and cruel and it seems as though he loves money above all things. However
