of young women today is rapidly increasing. The media has begun to demand that women “occupy [themselves] with a self-image that others will find pleasing and attractive” (450).

HEART OF DARKNESS Conrad’s works‚ Heart of Darkness in particular‚ provide a bridge between Victorian values and the ideals of modernism. Like their Victorian predecessors‚ these novels rely on traditional ideas of heroism‚ which are nevertheless under constant attack in a changing world and in places far from England. Women occupy traditional roles as arbiters of domesticity and morality‚ yet they are almost never present in the narrative; instead‚ the concepts of “home” and “civilization” exist

Tolstoy’s short story – “How much land does a man need?” — is a religious-morality tale which can be interpreted in a variety of ways‚ but which seems primarily concerned with the destructive consequences of human ambition.

We have the supporters of GM food arguing that judging the actual risk should not occur until extensive scientific research has been conducted. Until then‚ they believe that these crops can effectively aid in feeding the world’s needy by providing higher per acre yields while having a reduced need for pesticides and herbicides.

It reflects the savage repressions carried out in the Congo by the Belgians in one of the largest acts of genocide committed up to that time. Conrad’s narrator encounters at the end of the story a man named Kurtz‚ dying‚ insane‚ and guilty of unspeakable atrocities. More recently‚ African critics like Chinua Achebe have pointed out that the story
