Redefining Beauty Standards and Embracing Diversity
Many individuals continue to suffer from low self-esteem and body confidence because of the idea of having a flawless body since society places immense value on having a flat stomach. This is further fueled by the multiple online suggestions on how to de-bloat. Beauty has increasingly become a definition of an individual's body shape and weight, rather than uniqueness. Body standards, which are socially created, are pushed forward in daily life, and they get amplified through social media. A "perfect" body shape is depicted through social media channels such as Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook using influencers and models. Posts that reflect the ideals of society's beauty are the most popular in society, either through a swimsuit photograph or even a lowly everyday photo.

Why Benevolent Sexism Isn’t as Sweet as It Sounds
In this often progressive world where equality and goodness have become the hallmarks, something in chivalry is out of place. As gentle as it may look seeing these gentlemen doffing hats off their heads or listening in with a compliment given, such seemingly innocuous act hides a problematic phenomenon from view-benevolent sexism. This modern trend, veiled in politeness and courtesy, seems to suggest that women should be treated with kid gloves as if they were perpetually in need of protection or assistance. Such attitudes can perpetuate the long standing stereotypes, reinforcing the notion that women are fragile and unable to navigate the world independently. Critics observe that what may look very much like a playful display of feminism oftentimes entraps women in dependency, and their potential is belittled. While society grapples with these underlying issues, the clear-cut lines defining true respect and condescending behaviour often become blurred, raising the stakes of equality and empowerment for women as promised by feminism.

President Joe Biden could similarly as a matter of fact grant a one-time, 90-day extension of the deadline, regardless of the way that he has not shown that he will do so.When it demands the choice, TikTok could in like manner demand a stay — fundamentally, a postponement — of the law while the High Court studies the case, which could mean TikTok avoids the January blacklist deadline, basically temporarily."Given the self control of the Great Court being by and large moderate, and by and large thoughtfully for a confined focal government, even with that establishment … I experience trouble feeling that the moderate power on the High Court wouldn't see this as a (public security) case," and thusly choose for keeping up with the law, Schiller said.The High Court could moreover decide not to review the case, in which case TikTok may be not doing so great, according to Gautam Hans, accomplice regulator of the Essential Revision Office and educator at Cornell Graduate school.

Attempted Prisonbreak
The sky was pitch black. Only a hint of starlight tried to illuminate the surrounding landscape. A determined wind drove the bitter cold through the tightly woven fabric of our clothing and into our shivering skin. This was no night to be out even if it was necessary. It was obvious that others felt the same way since the parking lot was almost empty. The building was a large brick edifice, multi-floors high and stretched over a block in length. It was intimidating. A place I wanted to spend as little time in as possible. Unfortunately, I wasn’t given a choice.
