What Search Engines Say About Women Noble illustrates the effects of different biases and algorithms that search engines have on the users. In this case, she explores the search for black girls on Google and the way it does not lead to communities that may allow black girls to come together or books that illustrate their history or different ways through which they may empower themselves (Noble, 2012). However, it shows pornography as the top results. Noble further illustrates the way search engines can maintain unequal representation and access; instead, they are the foundational aspects of modern life where they are mostly questioned. She also finds that the commercial interest of the search engine leads to a change in the representations (Noble, 2012).

Studies have shown that having a work-life balance is essential for employee happiness, health, and productivity.

The elite level is represented by the wealthy Linton family, the middle class by the Earnshaw’s family, and the working class represented by Nelly, a servant in the Wuthering Heights. During the Victorian era, social class did not only depend on the amount of money the characters had but rather on their family background source of income and their place of birth.

A media blackout means taking a break away from media and staying away from the internet, watching television, reading magazines and books, watching movies, listening and watching music, and using mobile phones.

Most importantly I was able to reflect more on my life…
Women on corporate boards Introduction In Europe, Norway was the first country to make the gender quota law; this brought about significant implications to the Norway board composition. This was following the concerns of a small number of women in the composition in boards. In 1992, for instance, in 764 board members positions, women accounted for only 3.4% only. In 2003 a voluntary gender quota was implemented which required a 40% of both genders represented. This was, however, made compulsory in 2006 for all the upcoming companies while the developed companies were given a maximum of two years to comply with the newly implemented quota law.

Norway has gone to the extent of dissolving all the companies which have failed to comply (Sweigart, 2012). For the longest time, I have dominated the upper and superior positions…
