'The Firm': Does the Monarchy Still Have Place in Modern Britain?
Written by Thalia Cosgrove
The British Royal family has certainly had a whirlwind of a past few months.
By now, almost everyone has seen (or at least heard of) the iconic interview concerning Meghan Markle and Prince Harry on the Oprah show, regarding “Megxit”; this aired in the UK on the 8th of March, attracting copious amounts of media attention. The tabloids have been filled over the past few months with Royal controversies, ranging from Prince Andrew’s involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, to Prince Charles contracting coronavirus, while also seeing a drop in his national popularity after the Oprah broadcast - It’s hardly surprising when the interview revealed he stopped taking Harry's calls too. People are beginning to question whether or not the monarchy should change, or whether it should exist at all. Is there still a place for this family in modern Britain?...

Breaking down the Barriers of Toxic Masculinity.
Written by Rosie Marsh & Millie Appleby
One of the most significant examples of toxic masculinity being revoked in the media is the numerous accounts of Harry Styles starting to break down the barriers. Not only did Styles make history as the first man on the cover of Vogue by himself since 1892, but his iconic outfits also prove that it doesn’t make you any less of a man if you wear items of clothing that are stereotyped as ‘feminine’. Every day he strives to fight gender norms; refusing to conform to social constructs – especially in the fashion industry that is still so strongly dictated by the ‘rules’ of masculinity. His willingness to reprobate outdated gender constructs highlights the confidence he has within himself as a man and holds hope for future generations, that may take a lead from him and continue to break down the walls of toxic masculinity together, one step at a time. ...
Editor's Note
After the first TERM meeting in February 2021, which took place on Teams, looking at the blank screens, the glitching faces, and being cursed with bad internet connection, the journey of being TERM’s seventh Editor began with a rocky start.
However, during the first meeting back, I was finally able to sit down with the team; we shared our experiences of lockdown and all felt as if we had been frozen in time over the past year. We could all equally put both a negative and positive spin on this experience; this is where the ‘Life on Pause’ concept fell in place.
The past 18 months have been difficult for everyone. People have been silenced in so many aspects of society and I wanted to ensure that TERM remained a safe and open space. Both the Deputy Editor and I were more than prepared to support the journalists, artists and photographers in their journey of embracing their individuality. The publication has taken a turn in a whole new direction this year and I believe every sole member of TERM has been given the opportunity to have their voice heard.
