Months on a slave boat witnessing unspeakable horrors had changed me. I still was unsure what was to come, but it had to be an improvement upon the past couple months of my life. I hadn’t a ...

Abstract

Throughout history, women have had to struggle to make their voices heard in the public sphere. In many ancient societies, including China, patriarchy was the norm and women were forbidden to be a part of the outside world. Because of the influence of Confucianism and its strict social codes, women’s voices were silenced in history. However, this very social environment gave women a chance to express their feelings, often camouflaged, through poetry. As a result, Chinese literature has become a wonderful storehouse of women’s experiences during the rule of the Ming and Qing dynasties. This essay aims ...

Given that a large part of economies is nowadays, open one adds to the consumption side the monetary value of exports and subtracts the imports, as they are goods and money which leave the economy. Very intuitively, a government budget deficit arises when the ...
