What I mean by this is that the wizarding world is very similar to the muggle world if we are to look at the structure of the societies of the two worlds. For example‚ both worlds have a government (State

In the article “On Bullshit‚” written by Harry Frankfurt published by Princeton University in 1986‚ Frankfurt tries to explain and develop an understanding of the term bullshit.
