The Rise of a National Literature
Debates Over a National Literary Identity
In the early years of the new republic, there was disagreement about how American literature should grow. There were three different points of view. One group was worried that American literature still lacked national feeling and did not want books based on European culture. Another group felt that American literature was too young to declare its independence from the British literary tradition. The third group also felt that

Java Stack Implementation Using Arrays
This implementation demonstrates how to create a Stack data structure using an array in Java. A stack follows the Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) principle.
The Stack Class
class Stack {
private int top; // Represents the index position of the topmost element in the stack
private int maxSize; // Represents the maximum number of elements that can be stored in the stack
private int[] arr;
Stack(int maxSize) {
this.top = -1; // Top is -1 when the stack is created
this.maxSize = maxSize;
Descartes’ Fifth Meditation: Proving God’s Existence
Fifth Meditation, Section 4: Based on that, I can develop a demonstrative proof of the existence of God. I find in me the idea of God, and I know clearly and distinctly present and eternal existence in the same way that I know the idea of a triangle necessarily has three angles that add up to two right angles. Although none of the above findings were true, the truth of God’s existence would be akin to mathematical truths.
At first, I think the essence of the idea of a triangle and God do not prove

Racism in Modern Society
Nowadays, racism continues to be a serious problem in many parts of the world. Even though societies are becoming more diverse, people are still judged and treated differently because of their skin color, culture, or origin.

C++ Minimum Array Jumps and Oscillating Subsequence
C++ Minimum Array Jumps and Oscillating Subsequence
Code samples: two C++ routines: one to compute the minimum number of jumps to reach the end of an array, and another to compute the longest oscillating indexed subsequence using a segment tree and coordinate compression.
Minimum Array Jumps (C++)
The following function returns the minimum number of jumps required to reach the last index of an array where each element denotes the maximum jump length from that position. It returns -1 if the end is not

Authenticity Versus Fame in Social Media Marketing
Authenticity in Social Media Marketing
What if social media marketing no longer depended on fame, but on authenticity? This question has become increasingly relevant as platforms such as TikTok and Instagram have started hiring everyday people to promote products instead of relying only on famous influencers.
Relatability and Natural Promotion
On the one hand, ordinary users often appear more relatable to audiences. If a product is shown by someone with a normal lifestyle, viewers may feel that the

Endothermic Reactions
An endothermic reaction absorbs energy.
- Heat (kJ) is written on the reactant side.
- Bonds are broken; no new bonds are formed.
- On Table I, the heat of reaction is positive (+).
- The surroundings feel colder because energy is absorbed.
Exothermic Reactions
An exothermic reaction releases energy.
- Heat (kJ) is written on the product side.
- Bonds are formed.
- On Table I, the heat of reaction is negative (−).
- The surroundings feel warmer because energy is released.
