Globalization of Valentine's Day: A triumph of capitalism

Penetration of the celebration of Valentine's Day across many cultures in the world is something that capitalism can cherish. With the global expansion of capitalism in the fastest ever speed, especially after the fall of USSR and liberalization in China, globalization of Euro-America centric culture is happening in further greater pace. I would like to analyze how Valentine's Day has turned to be a mere event to secure larger consumption for the bigger corporations and how local and indigenous cultures are threatened.

ट्वीटरबाट राजनीति: सामाजिक र राजनीतिक आन्दोलनमा लाग्नेहरुलाई केही सुझाव

सोसल मिडिया प्रयोग गर्ने धेरैले यसबाट फाइदा बेफाइदा दुवै भएको बताउँछन् । मित्रता, बिचार आदानप्रदान, प्रत्यक्ष कुराकानी, पुराना साथीहरुसँग पुनर्मिलन, टाढा रहेका आफन्तसित प्रत्यक्ष कुराकानी र नियमित सम्पर्क, फुर्सदको समय उपयोग यसका केही फाइदाहरु हुन् ।

Construction of Beauty: a post-colonial and neo-Marxist discourse

Is beauty a Myth?
It may be very difficult for the people to understand that Beauty is a myth. But, it is indeed solely a myth. Myths differ according to the cultures and beauty can differ from one’s eyes to the others’. So why, Wordsworth said beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. However, even our eyes are deceived. We are preoccupied by myths. Everything we see is framed by these myths and our sights are also guided, even without knowledge. There are important myths about the beauty of both male and female in the contemporary world. In this write-up, I would like to observe beauty myth created by media in light of colonialism and Capitalism.
