Upon reading Shakespeare’s Macbeth, I was struck by the importance of the theme ‘evil’ that was continually evident throughout the play. Researching this topic enabled me to form conclusions, which aided in bettering my understanding of the main character Macbeth as well as the text as a whole. The conclusion I formed was: ‘When people commit immoral or evil deeds, there are certain circumstances which cause them to commit these deeds’. Using this conclusion, I was able to form three key questions: ‘To what extent is evil as a theme in Macbeth affect the main character and the overall plot?’, ‘How is evil portrayed as a problem in society in regards to evil deeds people commit?’ and ‘To what extent are immoral acts of evil or one being evil the fault of one person?’.

Opinions should be able to be voiced, but they should be announced as such, however many articles state opinions as if they are the truth. This is what needs to stop. The United States government needs to take action by regulating the media in order to keep bias out, and allow for freedom of press and speech to tell the truth.
The significant economic growth of China happened after China adopted Economic Reform and Opening-up Policy in 1978 (see Appendix 1).

The extraordinary economic growth of China in the past 30 years is a miracle in many aspects.
