I Love You Anyways
You adopted me almost three years ago. It has been a little rough, but I am thankful to have you as my master. My love for you is unconditional and unending, and I will carry it with me to my death bed. My greatest purpose is to love you and make you happy, so if what you do to me makes you happy, go ahead.

Statistic in the System
I'm sitting here thinking where I could possibly begin this and, I'm realizing that you are 19 hours from here in a shared house with your soon-to-be in laws-probably sleeping with your girlfriend and current mother of your one and a half kids. While I've spent hours, and hours feeling depressed and saddened by your poor choices in fatherhood for the child you and I share. I blamed myself for a very long time, and sometimes I still do. How could I have been so wrong? What did I do to push you away? How am I going to explain this to my daughter?

The Panopticon of the Patriarchy
The patriarchal society lived in today is commonplace. Women find themselves constantly shorted in conditions ranging from violent rapists found innocent to girls told to cover their shoulders in school so as not to distract the boys in the room. These circumstances are a direct result of a panoptic mechanism abducting the idea of masculine power as dominant over femininity and fixing it into society so subtly that people rarely notice or have the ability to protest it. Foucault presents the central idea of Panopticism in Discipline and Punish: power is “visible and unverifiable,” (555). The sexist society in the United States exhibits these symptoms. For example, as Berger shows the reader in Ways of Seeing, men are visibly seen as favorable in art. However, it is essentially unverifiable because there is no sure way of knowing the inspiration, the intent, or the impetus behind the artist’s painting — consciously or subconsciously. Foucault’s presentation of the Panopticon directly represents and results in the relationship between male and female in today’s society as shown in Berger’s work, Ways of Seeing. As Berger puts it, “Men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at” (47).

Is Your Child Being Bullied?
Before I talk about this subject I want to clear the air. Fact: Everyone experiences bullying at one point or another in their lives. Everyone. It might come from a teacher, classmates, a sports coach, a family member. It happens. Bullying is part of human society.
