An indication of this can be found in the foreword, in which Angelou writes, "You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them. "Letter to My Daughter” entertains, teaches and encourages. Especially compelling was the essay "Accident, Coincident, or Answered Prayer,” in which Angelou survives the physical abuse of a suitor. In several short, spellbinding essays, Angelou shares personal experiences on topics such as honesty, religion, family, marriage, tragedy, survival and humility.Īlthough she eventually found peace and happiness after enduring a tumultuous life, Angelou admits to her "daughters” that before she got to that point, she learned about compassion and fortitude.

Personally, I had an encounter with the legal system, but my issue was pretty quickly addressed (it helps to have lawyers in your network). If you’re like most people, you haven’t had to rely on the legal system much yet. He argues that often, these misrepresentations by law, the courts, and the legal professions aren’t mere mistakes but deliberate campaigns driven by parties who have an interest in undermining trust in the system. The Secret Barrister, in his book “Fake Law,” debunks myths and some of the biggest media stories that were misrepresenting legal cases. That being said, I was intrigued to learn more about how the law or coverage of it is exploited. We read parts of it and applied them to past events, but do I recall a lot of it?

I’ve not lived in the UK long enough to have been confronted with many public legal cases that sparked colossal outrage. ![]() ![]() “When I sat down to create Tiffany, I really wanted her to be the anti-stereotype, because so often when we write Black characters there seems to be like a go-to that seems to be a stereotypical character,” Davis explained.

Sen’s work on redefining poverty, which earned him the Nobel in 1998 and led to the publication of Development as Freedom in 1999, has affected policy-making. Sen contends that poverty is harmful and unjust because it deprives people of the ability to lead the lives they want, and development is valuable because it allows people to improve their lives as they see fit. Conversely, development is about more than simply increasing wealth it’s about increasing opportunity. ![]() As such, poverty is about more than low income it’s about a lack of opportunity. ![]() Sen contends that income and wealth are only important as a means to something else, not for their own sake.
