Essays on Hooks

Fairy tales and folklores are nothing but the reflections of the society. Authors and artists depict the world through their lens to highlight social elements. The Company of Wolves by Angela Carter is a fairy tale built on the theme of the Little Red Riding Hood. In a very subtle way it depicts the patriarchal structure of the society and what it means to be a liberated woman. In an interesting way she has shown what a feminist means, as it brings harmony and order into an otherwise sexist and chaotic society. Carter’s Company of Wolves might not ...

Bell Hooks’ decision to narrate the story of a black girl from Kentucky who belonged to a working class background and how life at Stanford shaped her world view, indicates the emphasis that she places on returning to her roots and staying true to them. Her parents were deeply concerned about how being amongst the more ‘privileged, white students’ would influence the personality of their young daughter. Hooks highlights the fact that children from a small town like Kentucky, particularly the African American families maintained a close-knit community, in which basic communication as well as deep-rooted respect of elders ...

However, my exposure in the US society made me realize that women in my country continue to experience discrimination and inequality. Women in the ...

Human trafficking is the unlawful movement of people to exploit them for labor or sexual services (“What is Human Trafficking?” n.d.). Unfortunately, as technology progresses, perpetrators of human trafficking also find new ways to endorse their exploits (Yetter, 2015). Subsequently, there are also efforts made by authorities to persecute those who take part with human trafficking which victimizes many, including minors. This is not only an issue on a state level, but an issue on the national level as well since these people operate on a national and even international level using social media (Bisaro, 2016).

Inquiry Based Learning in STEM Education

One of the major problems that exists in education today is a need to alter teaching practices to meet the changing demands of our modern world. One way that globalization is directly effecting education is in the creation of a greater emphasis on STEM education.

This relies on inquiry based instruction. However, the basic premise of inquiry based, or vocationally focused education runs counter to the classroom setting, and its cultural tendencies to be ...

Currently, feminism is a social movement that has brought a tremendous effect on film criticism and theory. The cinema has been widely taken by feminists to be an ethnical practice depicting myths concerning women and femininity. As a result, the issues of spectatorship and representation are key to feminist film criticism and theory. In the past decades, feminist criticism was aimed at women particularly those in Hollywood movies. Such fixed, the endless repetition of images of women were conceived to be obnoxious distortions that would set back the female observer (Hilderbrand and Lucas 345). Nevertheless, the understanding dawned that ...

“Poor single mother on welfare tell me how you did it?” rings the famous lyric of the late Rapper-Activist Tupac Amaru Shakur. The son of a former Black Panther, this ode to his mother provides a glimpse into the conundrum of surviving in the wake of being poor and black on public assistance. What Shakur unknowingly reveals is the image of welfare in a more empathetic and realistic way that illuminates instead of ignoring the lived realities of its recipients. While Shakur’s lyric is compassionate in it’s depiction, conservative lawmakers are less considerate in their elucidation of ...

1. Capitalist Patriarchy as Seen by the Second Wave and the Corporate Wave Sheryl Sandberg and bell hooks look at the ideas of women in the workplace from completely different standpoints. A subtle, but telling, difference between how the two think is rooted in how they present their arguments. Sandberg utilizes statistics and foregoes the theory throughout Lean In whereas hooks’ “Dig Deep” eschews the statistics in favor of a more theoretical analysis. This speaks volumes about where the authors will take their arguments. Sandberg takes a more “pie in the sky” approach to the topic of women in ...
