Topical
I am going to write about theocracies. I may connect the nature of theocracies to their roots in hypocrisy and their general overall anti-feminism. Many religions that rule the nations they occupy generally have many rules that either do not apply to everyone (such as make exceptions for the rich) or have laws that severely discriminate against one certain group of people (women are generally targeted in modern day theocracies in such places as the Middle-East). I may compare a modern day theoretical nation, such as Iran, to that of the one in which Hester Prynne habituated and functioned in. I could also talk about why such countries seem to be so far "behind" western civilizations in human and empathetic terms. And also why the USA seems to lag behind nations around the world (especially Europe) in these same areas of human compassion.

It seems like you have a lot of great ideas but you need to narrow it down to what you truly want to write about but i do like your ideas
ReplyDeleteMax,
ReplyDeleteThis post seems a bit too brief to develop any one of these ideas fully (as Athena suggested, you may need to narrow your focus). If there is one common thread here, it seems to be a lack of consistency and equality (all people, all classes being subject to the same rules).
Good luck with this. I'm looking forward to your initial draft!
