    Indeed, impressive and consistent works at such a young age.

The Science of Well-Being

Hello! Thank you to everyone who read the first post! And thank you to those who left positive feedback! It is much appreciated! In an attempt to be productive during my time at home, one of the things I have started (apart from this blog) is an online college course titled "The Science of Well-Being".  I think that the appeals of the material world and the constant life pressure to achieve can often be overwhelming and cause us to frequently sacrifice our well-being. Therefore, it can sometimes be helpful to take conscious efforts to improve our well-being, and this is my attempt at that. Although I have only completed one week of this class so far, I have enjoyed it and the new form of introspection it encourages. The class began with me determining my initial levels of happiness to be used as a measure of reference for my growth by the time the class ends. Through the use of the PERMA scale and the Authentic Happiness scale, I was to determine my happiness through self-

Is Language Shaping Our Perception of Gender Roles?

Recently, I was thinking about what is traditionally considered gender bias. Immediately, the gender pay gap and the lack of women in leadership positions came to mind. Although these are incredibly important issues, I wanted to approach a different topic, one that doesn't immediately scream gender bias: linguistics. For this article, I wanted to take a dive into the ways that language can shape our perception of genders and affirm numerous gender stereotypes.  When reviewing the literature on this field, I found a fascinating article on the depth that gender bias permeates linguistic structure, and I wanted to share a couple of the most interesting ideas. To begin, in the English language, there are more words that refer to or describe men but 10 times fewer expressions to refer to promiscuous men than to refer to promiscuous women. The differing availability of words for men and women reaffirms societal attitude and inequality of the perception of female "promiscuity"

Access to Justice: Where We Are Now and Where We Need to Be

     In a world plagued by the diverse forces of poverty, racism, sexism, and more, access to justice has lost its protection as a universal human right, and access to high-quality legal support has become a marker of privilege. Justice has become just another means and system of social stratification that leaves millions, if not billions, vulnerable. Yet, according to international law, legal assistance is supposed to be equally accessible, transparent, and effective. However, in the enforcement and execution of these standards 1  , this fundamental concept is often lost, and equal access to legal support becomes increasingly disparate across different groups. Although there has been a tremendous success over the last years to maximize the use of technology to increase access to justice, much more work is yet to be done. Through a combination of relief-oriented strategies, structural change to the legal system, and long-term educational solutions, access to justice can begin to reclai
