Mother vs Mirror
In 2015, a group of six blindfolded children ranging from the ages of three to nine years old must identify their mother from a line-up of women. Fortunately, even without their sight, every single child finds their caretaker. According to the concept of Maternal-Newborn Bonding, “The connection made after birth directly affects both the mother and child physiologically, psychologically, and emotionally,” and even influences the child’s romantic and platonic attachment styles later in life (Barker, para.2). This, combined with the experiment above, seems to prove that the Maternal-Newborn bond is indestructible. Yet, Lacan claims that this connection is already destroyed, at around six to eight months old. This essay will argue that Jessika Kenney and Eyvind Kang’s piece uses vocals and instrumentation to explore the factors that motivate the infant to separate from their mother and the consequences of that choice, prompting listeners to question whether adulthood is worth the agony.

Exploring the themes of woman empowerment through Netflix's Trigger Warning
Exploring the themes of woman empowerment through Netflix's Trigger Warning As we evolve into the changing nuances of contemporary cinema, the stereotypical portrayals of women as passive and nurturing abodes for their masculine figures have seen a new light with female representation as thought-provoking leaders and competent individuals who are no damsels in distress waiting for their saviours. Netflix’s recent movie Trigger Warning, starring Jessica Alibi, is a similar hard-hitting tale. Jessica Alba channels her inner maverick as she plays a serving U.S. military officer who must return home after a tragic incident. Despite the film's excellent craftsmanship, some of its subtleties revert to the same clichés that can be found in other Hollywood productions. Let's examine the themes of women's empowerment that the movie explores in more detail.

An open letter to my friend and soul character, Monica.
An open letter to my friend and soul character, Monica. Someone who overthinks is also someone who overloves. Ahh! that quote hitd the heart in the same way cupid strikes his dart. Monica Geller, the super organized, super smart, classy woman, you have always been the backbone of your group, the one whom everyone would turn to when in need, or when they needed a shoulder to cry on. Family is the safe place that shields you from the animosity of the outer world. It helps you build your self-image and creates a sense of belonging.

The one when Joey Tells Rachel
I am falling in love with you! I don’t get it! I said I am falling in love with you. The very noteworthy scene between Rachel and Joey in the most-watched sitcom friends tells us about love. The very fact that Joey fell love in with Rachel has contradictory reactions from the audience. Joey and Rachel have been friends for several years, and friendship is something that comes with its rules and regulations, its ups and downs. Humans are contracted beings, the ones who take everything for granted when it comes easy.

From Eye Candy to Mind Boggler: Unveiling the Puzzling Narrative of "Anyone but You
From Eye Candy to Mind Boggler: Unveiling the Puzzling Narrative of "Anyone but You The visual appeal of exotic locations and captivating yet stimulating romantic comedies has always been soaring for decades. The audience loves an escape from their mundane lives into a whirlwind of romance, with heartwarming plots and a sizzling chemistry. Anyone But You sets the bar high when it comes to a visually appealing storyline and the ensemble, yet falls flat with its plot, leaving the audience contemplating and uninterested as the story unfolds. Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare is said to be the inspiration for the movie Anyone But You. That may or may not be the case, though, as Shakespeare's entire body of work has become imbued with archetypal meanings—just as every detective has some debt to Sherlock Holmes. Let's get straight to this rom-com and discuss the various nuances of this film
