Some of the first things that one would expect as a student when entering a Chinese restaurant will be the pungent smell of spices, of crisply fried vegetables and many more conflicting smells of sauces.

An eviction, which is the expulsion of a tenant from rental property by a landlord, is an action that is often unpleasant. In Cold City, Matthew Desmond shines a light on the woes of eviction that tenants faced in the U.S. in the advent of the recession, whose impacts extended to the year 2013. This was after its emergence in 2007 and its end in 2009. Inferably, there are numerous factors that can lead to an eviction, but the major ones that emerge are property damage, and the failure to pay rent. On the one hand, voluntary eviction is moral, because the landlord and the tenant have an agreement, which is a written lease at the signing. Moreover, it is flexible for both parties. On the

The view that in Gothic writing, female characters are general presented as victims is proven true in many cases, especially in more traditional Gothic literature. However, as the subversion of normality is central to the Gothic, as identified by Kidd, throughout the twentieth century, female empowerment became a key feature of the Gothic genre.

The Habit Loop
In The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg, the idea of the habit loop is described as a quintessential part of the narrative. Accordingly, every habit comprises three essential elements: the cue (or trigger), the routine, and the reward.

In Book IV of The Republic of Plato, Socrates proposes that the city in speech is happier without the strain of money and wealth. “Then from both poverty and wealth the products of the arts are worse and the men themselves are worse.” (421 e) He fears that money hinders productivity and promotes negligence.
