Urban Nights

She tossed and turned in bed with sweat dripping down her neck thanks to the unrelenting summer heat and her broken airconditioning. As she lay there, drifting in and out of sleep her mind involuntarily wandered to him.

Vampire Seduction

Her adrenaline levels were at an all-time high as she sank her fangs into the soft skin on the nape of his neck. She could smell his cologne, a woodsy scent that she did not expect a man of his demeanor to wear. His blood tasted sweet. This sensation was unlike anything she had ever tasted before and if it was not for the blaring car horn at the end of the dimly lit street, she would never have pulled away.

The Ways in Which Western Romances are Localized by African Authors

When looking at romance novels it is evident to see that they are formulaic, as is the case with most genres. Most Western romances such as Mills and Boons have a few noticeable characteristics such as a noticeable difference in the covers of the books themselves. With Western romances, we see pictures of females which tend to be quite sexual and in some cases risqué, whereas with African romances, for example, Ankara press, the covers are generally animated and show the female as the focal point. The female or heroine on Ankara press covers is always dressed in an outfit made from traditio...

Waves of Feminism

Women’s liberation as a whole was based on an intellectual evaluation of what may be referred to as ‘the traditional family’, sexual inequality, and femininity. The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir is often referred to as the bible of feminism as it addresses most of these key issues.

When looking at the political climate First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt seems to be the one responsibl...

Matters of the mind: How to find true Happiness

For centuries some of the greatest philosophers have grappled with the notion of how to define happiness. With inputs from some of the greats such as Plato and Socrates, the definitions that have been put forth are vastly different and seem to be rather subjective. So then, how do we attain happiness if we do not really know or understand what it is? Our notion of happiness stems from as far back as our childhood. As kids, we would watch movies, TV shows and read fairy tales that would paint a picture of what it means to be truly happy. These unrealistic standards would generally not be ...

Dark Psychology

“When you know what a man wants you know who he is, and how to move him.” George R.R. Martin, A Storm of Swords Psychology refers to the study of the conscious and unconscious mind. The field itself is an academic discipline which is science based and is used to explain and understand behavior, thought processes and the ways in which our minds work in general.
