"The Devil Wears Prada" stylishly captures the fashion industry's allure and demands. Streep's powerhouse performance as Miranda Priestly is a highlight, yet the film sometimes prioritizes surface-level glamour over fully exploring its characters' complexities. Still, it remains a guilty pleasure and engaging glimpse into the high-stakes world of haute couture.

How To Deal With Criticism
In a village there was a sculptor who Made beautiful idols and earned a good Living from his work his son followed in His footsteps and began making Idols From a young age the son also had a Talent for making excellent idols the Father used to be happy about his son’s Success however he would always find Some fault or another in his son’s idols He used to say Well done but encouraged Him to do better next time The sun did not complain either and he Followed his father’s advice to continue Improving his sculptures Because of constant Improvement the Sun’s sculptures eventually became Better than those of his father there Came a time when people started buying The sun’s Idols for a high price while The father’s Idols continued to sell for The same price as before Despite this the father continued to Point out the shortcomings in his son’s Idols however the sun was not feeling Well now and he used to accept those Shortcomings in his idols without Minding them but he still made Corrections to them There was a time when the sun’s patience Reached its limit and he answered back To his father who was constantly finding Fault The son asked when will you stop finding Fault with me then he continued people Say that you are a great sculptor but if You truly had such great understanding Then why are your sculptures being sold At such low prices I don’t think I need to take your advice My sculptures in my opinion are perfect As a result his father stopped giving Advice to his son and stopped finding Fault with his idols The boy was happy for a few months Enjoying the praise and admiration for His idols however he soon noticed that People were no longer praising them as Much as they used to and the prices of His idols had stopped increasing At first the boy did not understand the Reason for this but then he went to his Father and explained the problem to him The father listened to his son calmly as If he had known all along that this day Would come the son also noticed this and Asked did you know this was going to Happen the father replied yes because Many years ago I faced the same Situation the son then asked why didn’t You tell me about it the father replied Because you didn’t want to understand I know I don’t make sculptures as good As you do it’s possible that my advice About Idols is incorrect and it’s also True that your sculptures have never Improved as a result of my advice but When I used to point out the Shortcomings in your Idols you were not Satisfied with being certified by the Idols you made you used to strive to Better yourself and that striving was The reason for your success however the Day you are satisfied with being Certified by your work and you also Agree that it can’t get any better your Growth has stopped People always expect better from you and This is the reason why you are no longer Praised for your ideals nor do you get Paid much for them The sun remains silent for a while and Then asked So what should I do now The father replied believe that there is Always room for improvement within Yourself this mind-set is one thing that Will consistently Inspire and motivate You to become a better version of Yourself what do you learn from story The pursuit of continuous Improvement And self-reflection is essential for Personal growth and success The sun’s initial success came from his Willingness to accept his father’s Feedback and constantly strive to Improve his sculptures however when he Became complacent and stopped seeking Criticism his growth stagnated and his Work lost its appeal so one should Always strive to become better.

Strangulation
It was 192 A.D. The emperor's reign in Rome, Italy had been marked by declines of all kinds. Declines in the economy. Declines in relations among the people. Declines in general civility. The empire was consistently threatened by foes of all kinds, invading the city. The emperor, Francesco Romenelli, was far too preoccupied making love to countless women whom he had ordered to his palatial quarters to bother about the state of his people.

Low Tide
"A rising tide lifts all boats" was coined by President John F. Kennedy and "is mainly used by politicians and economists to convey the idea that if the economy improves, every participant in the economy will be in an improved financial position" (Lisanti, 2022). This zine is a critique of this.
