Doris Lessing She is an unrivaled novelist in the literary genres around the globe, portrays the fundamental problems of women as well as social system of her times. Lessing searches for new models to communicate the experiences of a blocked woman writer, who spends her early life in Africa, becomes an active and a disappointed communist, who is a politically committed writer, a mother, a wife, or a mistress sometimes a woman. With her very keen and subtle attitude, Lessing wants to present women’s psychological conflicts between marriage and love; motherhood and profession, unfairness of the double standard; alienation of a single career woman; hollowness of marriage in the traditional order and society. Lessing portrays her women in various social problems and with various perspectives of male against female. She tries to awaken women community to protest against the patriarchy through her feminist writings. For this purpose, this research paper would like to examine the psychological conflicts and traumatic experiences of powerful heroines, including- Anna Wulf of The Golden Notebook, Mary Turner of The Grass Is Singing, and Clefts of The Cleft.

While NATO regimes celebrate the ‘Fall of the Berlin Wall’ as the highest expression of freedom, these same political leaders support, finance and promote the construction of oppressive walls throughout world: Unified Germany and its NATO partners have supported Israel’s Separation Wall dividing and caging millions of Palestinians for the better part of two decades.
Democratic Re-Unification or Annexation by Force
The West German regime seized control and dictated economic and social policies that destroyed their eastern neighbors’ economy by fiat.
There are many ‘death strips’ denying Latin Americans, Palestinians, Middle Easterners their freedom from want, blocking their escape from US-NATO wars and Israeli genocide.
Imperial wars are characterized by the construction and maintenance of complex ‘Western Walls’, far deadlier and brutal than the Berlin Wall and less likely to fall.
The Malignant Consequences of the Fall of the Berlin Wall and the Annexation of East Germany
The annexation of East Germany vastly increased the economic power of Germany, providing German capital with several million skilled workers and trained engineers at no cost. Germany’s enhanced power dictated the course of the European Union’s economic policy.
HOW 65 COUNTRIES HAVE ERECTED FENCES ON THEIR BORDERS- FOUR TIMES AS MANY AS WHEN THE BERLIN WALL WAS TOPPLED- S GOVERNMENTS TRY TO HOLD BACK THE TIDE OF MIGRANTS
Along the reading about Walls It shocked me the fact that when the Berlin Wall fell in 1989 there were only 16 bordier fences around the world. However, In the 21st century, the purpose of borders has changed leading to a surge in construction of bordier barriers that mark different economic, political and cultural divisions between rich and poor...

A young girl called Siyanda Mohutsiwa explains that she has created a hashtag #IfAfricaWasaBar to promote social empathy among ordinary Africans and unity across the continent using social media such as twitter to overcome borders and circumstance.This idea have become successful because africans for all the continent began to participate with comments about issues from Africa. Access to the internet have given Africans place for making connections over their Africanness.
Siyanda Mohutsiwa explains how you acquire a different identity according to the place you belong in Africa and there are some resctrictions of borders it means that African do not know much of other countries in Africa. She states that Africans share problems but not the successes so she wants to foster Pan- Africaninsm which means to think collaboratively and support among africans.Besides, access to online networks has given young Africans something they have long had violently take: a voice so africans can take advantage of this tool to be heard.
Personally, I believe that Siyanda Mohutsiwa hashtag is an amazing idea that make a country more united about issues that concern the ordinary people of different place but that belong to the same place.
Some people think that some types of criminals should not go to prison. Instead they should do unpaid work in the community. To what extent do you agree?
Owing to the great variety of crimes that can be punishable by prison, some people argue that not all criminals are the same and it would therefore be more appropriate to give certain criminals community service instead. I agree that in some cases, prison may not be the best solution and community service would probably have more benefits.
One justification given for prisons is to keep society safe by removing criminals from the outside world. So the first thing to consider is if someone who has broken the law is a danger to other people. In the case of violent crime, there is an argument to keep the perpetrator away from society. However, burglary or possession of drugs, for example, does not involve violence against other people so the criminal does not present a direct danger to anyone in the community. Keeping these types of criminals in prison is expensive for the taxpayer and does not appear to be an effective punishment as they often commit the same crime again when they come out of prison.
Personally, I also believe punishments should reform people so they do not reoffend. A further reason not to put these people in prison is that they may mix with more dangerous and violent criminals, potentially committing a worse crime when they are released. By keeping them in the community, helping others, they not only learn new skills, but they could also develop more empathy and care towards others. If this occurs, society can only benefit.
Critics of this more rehabilitative approach to crime believe that justice should be harsh in order to deter people from committing similar crimes and that community service could be less likely to have that effect. However, there is very little evidence to suggest that long prison sentences deter criminals.
In conclusion, putting criminals who are not a danger to society in prison is expensive and, in my opinion, ineffective, both as a deterrent and as a form of rehabilitation. Community service for non-violent crimes benefits both society and the offender. That said, it would be useful to have more data to work out whether community service or prison is more likely to stop someone reoffending. I strongly believe that decisions on how best to deal with criminals should be based on evidence of what actually works.
Tips
Introduce your essay by restating the question in your own words.
If the essay asks you to what extent do you agree?, make your opinion clear throughout. You can either agree, partially agree or disagree with the statement, explaining and justifying your opinion.
The structure should be:
Introduction
The first reason why you agree/disagree
The second reason why you agree/disagree
The third reason why you agree/disagree (if you have one)
Conclusion
4. Use phrases to organise and link your ideas, e.g. Owing to … , One justification for … , The first thing to consider is … , A further reason … , In conclusion ... .
5. If you do not have solid evidence for your ideas, use modal verbs such as might, may or could (e.g. they could develop more empathy and care) or other tentative phrases (e.g. it does not appear to be an effective punishment).
6. Conclude by restating your opinion and summarising your two or three main arguments.
Jeremy Irons gives an argument against the
death penalty. He gives the reasons why there are supporters
and opposers to this idea. Jeremy explains that those who are in favour of the
death penalty are countries which can't afford a good legal counsel, those
without a voice in society while those with lower crime rates abolish the death penalty. The actor takes side against the death penalty because he
mentions some places where children are executed as a result of the death penalty.
He says that the death penalty is never acceptable because it abuses two of our
most basic human rights: Everyone has the right to live and no one shall be
subject to torture. Thus, an attack on these fundamental rights anywhere is an
attack against all of us.
