    Columbus Day‚ a holiday dedicated to the famous explorer for his achievement of arriving in the New World. We construct plays‚ arrange parades‚ and have erected monuments of Columbus to praise him for his discovery; for he had triggered the wave of European interest in the Americas. When it comes to the roots of Columbus’s arrival in Hispaniola‚ most people think that he arrived on an island with primitive natives who gladly gave up their land to him…without so much as a complaint.

Whilst on public transport‚ all I feel is misery and anguish at the prospect of the journey continuing and wondering why I left my car at home. The worst

    Female voices in classic literature are rarely allowed to be heard as they should‚ especially in a society like Shakespeare’s‚ where women are expected to make children and hot meals and not much more than that. While Shakespeare does take drastic steps forward in allowing such prominent female characters as Gertrude and Ophelia‚ he fails to make them strong or independent‚ and therefore an example for women everywhere. If it were not for the horrible mistreatment of Ophelia and the horrible misunderstanding

    Strain Theory I have chosen to write about Robert Merton’s Strain Theory. I find this theory particularly interesting‚ especially as it relates to crime and even education. As noted in our book Sociology in Our Times: The Essentials‚ the definition of strain theory is that people feel strain when they are exposed to cultural goals that they are unable to obtain because they do not have access to culturally approved means of achieving those goals (Kendall 164). For example‚ if your goal is obtaining
