#FATSHAMING VS. #THINSPIRATION: IS OUR SOCIETY ENABLING SOCIAL PREJUDICE AND
BODY DISCRIMINATION?



#BodyShaming: on the face of it, society proactively condemns judgement based on
one's size, and yet simultaneously, judgments related to one's size and health,
one's size and the standards of beauty saturate societal thought. I am lucky. I
have my mother’s metabolism. I’m tall and fairly slender. But this doesn’t mean
that I have never …

On the 31st of July, it was Black Women’s Equal Pay Day in the US. To
commemorate and mark this day, Serena Williams posted an article in Fortune
Magazine entitled ‘How Black Women Can Close the Pay Gap’. Whilst, I am acutely

FICTION-SHAMING: IS READING FICTION AS AN ADULT SOMETHING TO BE ASHAMED OF?

“Hello, my name is Kaisha Langton and I am a Bibliophile.” Echoing the sentiment
of any congregation of addicted souls, I am an addict. There's a number of
things in my life thatI say that I couldn't live without: as a girly girl, my
makeup, as a caffeine-deprived millennial my cans of coke, and as …

POOR PUPIL FAVOURITISM: WILL LOWERING THE GRADE REQUIREMENTS FOR DISADVANTAGED
STUDENTS REALLY HELP THE SOCIAL ISSUES REGARDING SOCIAL IMMOBILITY
ACROSS BRITAIN?

CLICKBAIT: WHY DOES IT SUCK US IN EVERY TIME?

Although it clogs up our newsfeed every day, the task of simply scrolling by an
article on “These Unofficial Photos of the iPhone 7” is a modern day Sisyphean

online advertisement. The articles used to promote click-rate, whet the appetite
of the scroller into …

THE “SCRIPTURIENT” PARADOX.

During the habitual daily perusal of Twitter I came across the word
"scripturient" and upon reading its subsequent definition I felt compelled to
write about the word and about everything else. It is an adjective defined as
the consuming passion to write. I have always been gripped by the notion of
story-telling. In my youth …
