Most of the punk bands to emerge and gain popularity in the nineties mostly hailed from California (Green Day‚ the Offspring‚ etc.). Punk vanguards from the seventies hailed from the East Coast and from Great Britain (the Ramones‚ the Clash

As a female in a highly patriarchal society‚ Anne Bradstreet uses the reverse psychology technique to prove the point of her belief of unfair and unequal treatment of women in her community. Women who wrote stepped outside their appropriate sphere‚ and those who actually published their work frequently faced social censure. Compounding this social pressure‚ many women faced crushing workloads and struggled with lack of leisure for writing. Others suffered from an unequal access to education‚

“All the President’s Men”‚ Washington Post executive editor Ben Bradlee says this famous quote to his two investigative journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. The movie was able to capture Bradlee’s sarcasm in the quote when he says “maybe the future of the country”.
