Public perception about BDSM is steeped in misconceptions. Many are too fast to judge something they cannot wrap their mind around, especially when pain is an associated element.

Dominance and submission are about personalities, and what works in one pairing may not work in another.…

Is honesty the best policy even if the truth disturbs many people? Kurt Vonnegut bluntly relays his opinion on the war between science and religion and other controversial topics concerning life though his novel, Cat’s Cradle. Consequently, it was banned by the Ohio School Board in 1972, but “without stating an official reason”(Indianapolis Monthly). The debunking of the validity of religious and scientific beliefs, along with the harsh truth embedded within his work has earned Vonnegut a spot on the controversial “Banned Books” list. He addresses the ongoing war between science and religion by blatantly stating that both are faulty. Throughout Cat’s Cradle, the author claims that religion is based on lies that people wish to believe. On the other hand, he attacks science by asserting that the more advanced technology becomes, the faster and…
In the use of symbolism in nudity, Cheever shows that addiction creates a reality where we hide from the real world and eventually destroy our life. Although nudity plays a little role in the story, the symbolism of it is major. When Neddy is naked, he is exposed to his surroundings. He is vulnerable to everyone around him.

Looks don't matter; its inner beauty that really counts. We grew up hearing these phrases. Our parents and teachers taught us not to judge people based on their looks. If all these things are true, then why do most of us judge people solely on their outer appearance? Why does the media put so much pressure on us to look a certain way, or fit into a specific size? Why do we still see headlines like “How to Lose Weight and Get Him to Like You”? Why does the media use severe airbrushing techniques to hide any flaws and impurities a person has? Magazines and media sites should not be allowed to drastically alter and manipulate people’s images and portray those images as the perfect goal one should strive to achieve. Being bombarded with unrealistic body images could have devastating effects on people, especially on women. Women need to start feeling happy and comfortable in their…
