Relationship between “unconscious bias,” racism, and structural inequalities
The brain phenomenon known as “unconscious bias” has been widely used to justify different forms of prejudice and discrimination through stereotypes. In fact, it is important to highlight that this “unconscious” is completely related to the ways in which social structures are perceived that lead to these discriminatory attitudes.

Apparent transparency of European election
The elections to the 20th German Bundestag were held on 26 September 2021. Germans did not appreciate Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s management style and results.

Liberty and Justice for SOME
Well, the moment has finally come, a moment we knew would come since November 5th, 2024 a date that will assuredly live in infamy. A date that if studied by historians centuries in the future will surely be sighted as the date that irrevocably changed the course of the country once known as the United States of America. A country that to be honest never fully stood for liberty and justice for all, a more accurate description would be "Liberty and Justice for SOME." This distinction is important as even at the country's founding many of the leaders owned slaves and felt there was nothing wrong with owning slaves while also ascribing to the mantra of so-called "liberty and justice for all." Furthermore, this distinction is important to points that I shall be making in the rest of this piece about how we got here. Some who are more idealistic than me may feel that Trump becoming president a second time is some major failure and a sign of how far we as a country have fallen, but I think that if we step back and take a look at the past we shall see how in another way, perhaps we've simply gone back to the beginning. I will endeavor to explain why to the best of my poor ability.

The documentary (Memory is Our Homeland) : An Analysis
POSTER OF THE FILM MEMORY IS OUR HOMELAND This image sparked the curiosity of the Polish-born director Jonathan Kolodziej Durant about the family's history and their displacement and wandering from Poland to Siberia, then Uzbekistan through Iran to a huge leap from the eastern European continent to Tanzania, escaping the ravages of the devastating world war, which destroyed their homelands and the homes they left behind, and looking for a lifeline in the safe and war-free jungles of Kilimanjaro.

What is the meaning of life
What Is the Meaning of Life? The question of the meaning of life is as old as human consciousness itself. It is a question that seems simple at first glance, but like a bottomless well, the deeper you go, the more it eludes a definitive answer. Some would argue that it is found in the monotony of everyday life—in the routines that define existence. But is life simply a matter of persistence, of marking time until time itself marks us?

The African American Woman
“To reform is to clear the concrete, to lay soil for roses to grow unbound, to let beauty emerge unchallenged by the weight of injustice.”

Miss Julie
August Strindberg has always been a different kind of writer; his plays have many underlying messages in his works. "Miss Julie" is no different. In this three character play we get a class difference. It is more of a class warfare, however, so subtle, Strindberg presents three very different people to portray his writing.

The Virgin and the Sag: Can They Work?
When I first met my wife, it felt like the universe had a sense of humor. I am a Virgo—methodical, logical, and always thinking ten steps ahead. She, on the other hand, is the embodiment of spontaneity. Where I saw plans, she saw possibilities. Where I sought control, she thrived in chaos. At first, this dynamic felt like trying to mix oil and water, but as time has passed, I’ve come to realize that our differences don’t just coexist—they complement each other in ways I never anticipated.

JOKER A Neurodiverse Analysis. Content Warning.
Introduction Directed by Tod Philips, who earned three Academy Award nominations thanks to this film, Joker has gained much fame, criticism, and honors. Joaquin Phoenix, received several Oscars and accreditations based on this particular movie, and it is one of the top-rated movies on IMDb. This essay takes insights as to the ways cinematic framing and content are absorbed by society and individuals and its impact on culture (Marsena and Angjaya, 2022, p. 37) (Nelson et al., 1997) (Brader, 2005). The aim of this essay is not to assume the intentions of the directors and cast, nor is it to criticize the movie, as it is impossible without the knowledge of Phillips’ intentions, but to offer a nuanced neurodiversity perspective on a highly rewarded and well-viewed film. Nonetheless, there have been huge discussions online about how accurate the depictions of negative mental health were in the film.
