Camouflaged as Arabs, the Irgun placed a bomb in the hotel’s basement targeting the Southern Wing that housed the British offices. Then, the Irgun went ahead and sent warning using a telephone especially the one that was connected to the hotel’s switchboard.

Throughout history, women’s bodies, and the garments women wear to clothe their aforementioned bodies, have been heavily policed. From Victorian women being thought of as scandalous for flashing the slightest hint of ankle to the criticism women initially received when they first started wearing the mini-skirt, the discussion of women’s bodies has historically been problematic. Even in the present day, the vast majority of religions and cultures have clear, restrictive standards for how women should
Perhaps one of harshest realities that has ever faced humankind is the likelihood of losing one’s job. Kevin Kelly, in Better Than Human asserts that, by the end of the century, robots will obtain a whopping 70% of jobs. To gain a greater understanding of this, one can look to history. Some 200 years ago, at the time of the industrial revolution, it is believed that 70% of the population in America worked on farm. Currently the jobs that were being done by humans back then have now been taken over

reason.” Both men follow a passion to do the correct thing, to let good triumph over evil. Superman was created as a hero not only to parallel Jesus, but to offer contemporary Americans hope through plagues, warfare, economic strife, and global terrorism. This suggests that our contemporary culture is one that seeks an external form of motivation for the current day’s problems, especially since they view Superman as a source of hope in which he, the good, will always trample over evil. It offers
“The land of the free, and the home of the brave.” Does the last line of our national anthem truly define what America is, and has become? Our society has somewhat strayed from the epitome of freedom, justice, and opportunity, making it easier to allude numerous aspects of America to characteristics of Oceania in the novel 1984 by George Orwell.
