ARTHURIAN LEGEND ABOUT MORGAN LE FAY I see Morgan Le Fay first introduction into Arthurian legend by Geoffrey of Monmouth in his “Vita Merlin” (c.1150). Her true origin however like many Arthurian characters is traced back during the Celtic Mythology and has developed with every new edition of the tale. Morgan le Fay’s personality is fascinating enough, and so is her name (Perez & Kristina, 2014, p.159). Morgan Le Fay, an enchantress yet a healer, is the half-sister to King Arthur according to legend and literature. I see Morgan Le Fay scheme to overthrow Arthur from his thrown throughout Arthurs reign to an extend of attempting to take his life although she does not succeed. Vividly I see Morgan always trying to bring danger and mystique in Arthurian stories (Perez & Kristina, 2014, p.159). Her character In literature characters are perceived as good or evil, antagonists or protagonists clearly demonstrated. However, some characters cannot be easily defined. I consider Morgan Le Fay as one of the latter case. Despite of being half-sister to King Arthur and understood as his…
FEMINIST THE POLITICS OF CARE AND SOCIAL REPRODUCTION Late 2007, when prominent economists around the world set out to survey the field of feminist political economy, U.S as well as the entire Europe countries were being traumatized by the economic recession. China and India on the other hand seemed to be gaining reputation within the global financial policies, and across the world, those who were advocating for free-market reforms and deregulation of capital were losing support. However, some six years down the line, with banking gratuities skyrocketing as well as savage asceticism policies being put in place across the Europe countries, “the crisis” appeared to be more of a chance to deepen both neoliberalism and political relations than rapture. At this time, the debate on feminist political economy became very important, and gendered questions a key to every international political economy. The trend has kept its phase up to today. For instance, inadequate weight has been extended to what is obvious a myth: that Black women and Latins in America were overrepresented as objectives of subprime loaning and…
Major Research Essay Introduction Feminism can be said to depict a political, cultural, social or economic change planned for setting up corresponding rights and legitimate assurance for women (Brunell & Burkett, 2019). Women’s rights include cultural and sociological beliefs, and methods of reasoning worried about issues of sex distinction, just as a movement that advocates gender equality for women and movements for ladies’ privileges and interests. Despite the expressions “feminism” and “feminist” not commonly used until the 1970s, they were being utilized in the public speeches and talks much earlier. I have chosen my two key thinkers, famous philosophers and feminists, Simone de Beauvoir and Angela McRobbie. These two women are known for their writings on how they viewed and supported feminism in various ways. This research essay seeks to analyse and discuss Simone de Beauvoir and Angela McRobbie work on feminism and how they have helped us to acknowledge the relationship between feminism and society and culture. Simone de Beauvoir Simone de Beauvoir was a philosopher, political activist as well as feminist. Beauvoir’s technique involved different political and ethical perspectives.…

Nurtured into Rebellion The constant pour of the rain slamming on the iron roof was the only thing that covered the screams coming from Monica’s house. Samantha (Sam), her last born daughter had broken her arm again, riding the bicycle. Jack being the acclaimed doctor in the house, albeit professionally a dentist, would have gladly taken care of the injury. However, Monica insisted on seeing an orthopedic specialist, and she wouldn’t mess with Meghan’s possible future in Hockey or any other sport. Several hours in the hospital and Meghan was sown, patched, and drugged. Monica’s overly busy office would not allow her to sit with the injured child, but in the next few days, she couldn’t focus on her work either. She blankly stared at the contracts on her desk with only one thought in mind, “was it possible that her last daughter Meghan was not good in sports?” as this was her fifth time getting an injury during a sporty activity. They had tried skating, football, running and cycling but nothing gave. After the first three injuries, she had…

Black Feminist Theory According to this theory, the experience of black women gives them a particular perception of their sexual, class oppression, and racial status in their respective societies. According to Kimberle Crenshaw, the experience of being a black woman must be explained via intersectionality but not in terms of being a woman or black. Therefore, being black or being a female must be explored independently while trying to understand that the intersecting identities reinforce and compound upon one another. This theory has become very common in recent years, but how, for Gumbs, is black feminists already at the end of the world? After The End of the World Gumbs tries to explore the possibility of a black life after a worldwide apocalypse occurs.

Women and Gender Studies Women and gender studies involve inter-disciplines that evaluates gender in perspectives of cultural and social construction. This field also entails the study of feminism, politics, and gender as well as queer studies and men’s studies. Gender- reviews are essential since love, sex, reproduction, and care are vital dimensions. Gender-based brutality is one of the most unavoidable, under-announced, and muted human rights violations across the world.
