The Social Construction Of Gender And Gender Roles
Adhering to the ascribed roles of society, humanity tends to protect, nurture, and propagate gender-based identities, believing them to be inherent and biological in their nature. However, all it takes is for one to raise the question, the question of how society ascribes certain roles to an individual. The answer to such a question unravels layers of the discursive phenomenon that collectively contribute towards the construction of such specific roles. Exploration of the social construction of gender not only enables us to decipher the founding constructs of society and the roles of their members, but it also allows us to deeply comprehend how such phenomenon influences a person’s behaviour, thinking patterns, or at large freedom of a person.

What Warren Buffet Has That You Don’t?
A boy in his teens wanted to make some extra money, perhaps to prove himself and delve on the path of personal independence. And guess what? He doesn’t go out investing in stocks! Or builds a startup. He simply realizes that people, in his neighbourhood, really like carbonated beverages. That seemed like a prospect, but how to know which brand or flavour of the drink would sell conveniently and will be a cash crop?

How’s Life in a Dorm Room?
Okay, I confess! I am not writing this while sitting at my desk! So unprofessional of me right! It’s the weekend, and I wasn’t feeling like going out (it’s raining and I don’t like rainy weather), and nor I am interested in watching Netflix right now!

Overcoming My Procrastination Addiction
Humans carry incredible potential, but as research has shown, most of us fail to do the INCREDIBLE because we are in this constant habit of delaying things in our life. Virtually all of us, an estimated 95% of us, suffer from this habit of procrastinating.

Self-Publishing vs Freelance Writing: What’s Better?
Running through the forest, Haris was sweating like a sinner in a church, the clock was ticking, and he was up against the challenge set by himself, the challenge to reach the summit within 30 minutes. He had done better in the past, but now, four years later he just wasn’t in the desired shape as he once used to be. And in that moment of urgency and race against time, he makes a terrible mistake, the mistake of one bad foot placement and the journey that was filled with excitement was now turned into an accident. He fell hard, landing on his left leg at an angle against a boulder, he felt the strain and stress impacting his bone. While he was saved from a major injury, a minor hairline fracture, but was precautionarily recommended for two weeks of bed rest. But guess what, he’s a freelance writer so as long as his fingers and mind are working, he can still go to work from his bed. BUT! The medication recommended to reduce pain also induces sleepiness, so here we are, unable to work effectively for two weeks. When the mind isn’t in place, you just don’t feel confident enough to take on a new project.

How To Teach Your Cat a Lesson
Cats! Or the definition of ‘pain in the arse’ are beings (if you are a cat owner, you can relate to that) that don’t exactly fit the definition of a pet in my opinion. Where there are dogs, or parrots always looking forward to you, loving your appreciation and attention given to them, on the contrary, cats enslave you.

He Was Serious: A Short Story of the Unceasing Pursuit of Passion
Ali was looking outside the windows, as the teacher called him with a question he didn’t expect to be asked. What do you want to become in life? Surprised but not perplexed, Ali responded in a whim to the question as quickly as the question was ended that he aspired to become a Fire Fighter. Amused by the answer, the teacher thought of it as another heroic imagination of the comic books infested childhood, something that is likely to be changed as time goes on.
