People might find it hard to admire something they do not understand such as faith. However, in Agustin’s case, no one can ignore the fact that he is to be admired in his continued search for the Truth and his fight to be honest and faithful to this truth he finally discovered, even when it meant he had to struggle to live according to it. Whether someone has faith in God or not, Agustin’s journey of conversion and faith against all odds is to be admired, and clearly supports Portier’s comment.
Agustin’s change of ...

The penalty is thus deterrent in a special way. Furthermore, this justice system practiced by Muslims is ordained by God, implemented by the Prophet and, ...

Question 1
There are a number of different ways in which people can become faithful. There are arguments in two different ways. In some cases, Christians can become faithful as a result of their parents, through faith inculcation. In this case, the faithfuls are socialized into following the rituals in their environment, and this can translate into real faith as they become more aware of the reason behind these rituals and practices. It is passed on from individuals who have faith to those that do not and is one way of creating an environment in which faith can develop ...

The covering of head is typical for all three main religions Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In the course of the centuries, many things have been changed though the tradition of covering a woman’s head not only in a sacred place but in everyday life too is still alive and carries out in Muslim lifestyle.

I. INTRODUCTION
The current use of the North-South divide in demarcating global Christian religion is not new. It originated as an economic and political convention to distinguish the First World and the Second World in the North and the Third World in the South. Thus, the churches in the North include the churches in North America, Western Europe, and the developed part of East Asia; while the churches in the South comprise the churches in Africa, South America, and the rest of Asia, including the Middle East. However, the demarcation line can arbitrary depending on the institution that creates ...

Religion is an integral component of human history at different stages of its development. The Muslim Reformation fundamentally different from the Catholic Reformation. “As religious regimes both, Catholicism and Islam, preceded and are likely to outlast the modern world system of nation-states” (Casanova 2).

Death is a natural part of the life cycle, even if it is also the least pleasant part. And depression can often be so bad as to make one wish for that unpleasant end. Biblical figures had to deal with both of these conditions, and often times, the world around them seemed depressing and filled with death. This essay explores the concept of death in a death-filled world within the Biblical text. It also examines dealing with depression in a depressing world.

The importance of the resurrection story to St Paul

Apostle Paul is considered the author of more than a half of the New Testament books. Nowadays, theologians continue studying his epistles, trying to resolve issues and find answers to many questions concerning Christian views on the world.

We find reflections on these issues in Paul's epistles to Corinthians, Thessalonians, Philippians and Romans.

“Thread” tells the story of a fourth-grade boy who has just joined the Knights of Christ one year after taking his First Communion. It is a strict examination of the Catholic Church by Dybek as seen through the eyes of a small child.

The article in the Business Week suggests that the change in accounting policy now requires the firms to show the lease as assets or as liabilities in the balance sheet. This rule change has been proposed by the International Accounting Standards Board in collaboration with the FASB. This is aimed to improve a company’s transparency towards assets and the risks to which it is exposed in a leasing transaction. Currently, leases are not reported in a balance sheet which shows lack of transparency. The new standard aims at optimizing the company’s reporting and helps the investors gain an idea about ...

Essay 1

According to the book, Ethics in America, the general responsibility of the corporate executive is entirely to oversee and evaluate corporate workforce while ensuring the goals, objectives and targets of the corporate mission are met without discretion within ethical standards.

Ethical standards are a crucial property in success of any management in business or the corporate world. In this regard, the corporate executive has to play a big role in fulfilling this obligation through ...

One of the prominent characters of the Bible is the Hebrew prophet, Moses. His name is listed at least 750 times in the Old Testament and an estimated 80 times in the New Testament.

How Stalin succeeded in transforming the U.S.S.R.
Stalin’s plans to achieve the modernization of the Soviet Union through rapid industrialization and the collectivization of the land transformed the Soviet Union, but came with an immense cost in human suffering. How was Stalin able to pursue such inhumane policies without risking insurrection or revolt? This paper examines five sources in order to answer that question. It will be seen that through a mixture of tyranny and terror, through propaganda designed to bolster the cult of personality, and through associating himself the legacy of Lenin, Stalin was able to achieve ...

A Comparison of Updike’s Dog’s Death and Dubus’s A Father’s Story
Upon first read, John Updike’s poem, Dog’s Death, and Andre Dubus’s short story, A Father’s Story, appear to have few similarities. In form, genre, disciplinary conventions, style, syntax, and mechanics, it would be easy to claim that the two pieces have nothing in common. Despite having many differences on the surface, after reading the two pieces, it is apparent that the subjects the ...

Images of God in Genesis

God created everything in the universe. His bliss, many graces and great signs surround us. Heaven, the Earth, space and stars are such great creations. After God fashioned the universe, he decided to create humanity. He ordered them to worship Him and to follow His commands, but some of them fell from His grace because of their disobedience.

There are specific stories in Genesis about people who either choose to obey or to disobey God’s commands, including Adam and Eve, Noah ...

Reflection on Values and Ethics in organizations

1.0 Introduction
In today’s organization, code of ethics, mission, vision, organizational culture, values as well as social responsibility have become very important aspects that guide an organization to success. For the success of an organization the management is most responsible for the formulation of these critical aspects of the organization. As such the personal code ethics, mission, vision, values and culture of the manager are more often than not intertwined with those of the organizations. As for a company or any institution to be successful, then the manager should have good personal values that will enable him steer ...

I believe that making a summary is a challenging task. Reproducing a shorted form of the author’s ideas, particularly in large works (e.g. chapters), can be overwhelming. Understanding the thoughts in details is one thing. Compressing it while staying faithful to the central ideas I believe will compress my brain as well. I cannot imagine compressing a 10,000-word chapter in 250-word summary. My first reaction was: even stringing the key words together into a summary may not limit the volume into 250 words.
Hard the task may be, I believe certain skills can be learned in forcing ...

Discrimination legislation

Even in modern day society, issues of religious discriminations still mar working environments and that should be an issue of concern. Different adherents are affected by what managers in different communities decide to be the basis of their employment terms and conditions. Rather than have a singular platform that allows more people to appreciate the changing strategies as part of addressing their religious discriminations that appear as part of addressing legal policies as defined by the constitution. Based on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, religious conditions should not be included if the applicant’s religion ...

At the end of the play Mark Antony proclaims that Caesar was the noblest of them all, I would like to argue that Antony was for he was the one who did not leave Caesar’s side and conspire to kill him. While this is one of Antony’s strengths, however, I will also illustrate how it is one of his weaknesses due to the fact Caesar was developing into more of a king or a dictator instead of an emperor as he obtained more and more power. Thus this paper will examine both the strengths and weaknesses of ...

King Solomon who wrote the “Book of Proverbs” and Lucius Annaeus Seneca, who is better known by his cognomen Seneca was the author of “The Moral Essays”. Solomon’s “Book of Proverbs” was a guide that told the Hebrew people how to live for over a thousand years. Proverbs addresses many areas that are important to being able to live peacefully with one another such as moral behavior, values of oneself, the family and the community. It also deals with the meaning of life and submission to the will of god. In “the Moral Essays” Seneca like Solomon gave ...

Prayers are important in the life of an individual dedicated to religion. This is because prayer gives a person hope and gets them strong in the faith to the point of holding onto the creator. Prayer should, therefore, be upheld at all times, and they should practised at intervals during the day just like food. Prayer tends to connect a faithful with his creator as it is a way of communicating between the creator and the faithful. This, therefore, means that for prayers to be effective, they need to have a purpose as well as strong faith.

Introduction

Sexuality and Christianity - often these two topics are opposed. This is not surprising because the negative attitude towards sexual relations and sex-phobia, fear in relation to sexuality, negative attitudes towards sexuality accompany the entire history of the Christian churches. One theory of the fall of humanity says that the sin of Adam and Eve was that they have entered into a sexual relationship. (Kamitsuka, M.D., 2010, p.26) In turn, the Christian asceticism tried to instill in Christians a feeling of contempt for their own corporeality (by the way, another theory Fall states that "leather garments" that God gave ...

The works of the artists, Jan van Eyck (c.1390-1441), Caravaggio (1561-1610) and Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) represent almost the entire span of the Italian Renaissance period which occurred from the 14th to the 16th Centuries.
Van Eyck was a Flemish painter who painted naturalistic portraits and religious painting on oak panels. Considered to be the leading painter of his day, his works differed from other great Early Italian Renaissance works in that his works recorded his faithful observation of nature , an influence of the Renaissance in the north, rather than the classically idealized works characteristic of the Early Italian ...

Bad faith in The Scarlet Letter

It can be really difficult to come to a decision when the outside world persuades you to meet your own wishes first. Being by nature a weak-willed creature, people are inclined to rash actions and misguided dealings. We are, at times, sneaky and foolish. Sometimes even the good intentions we may have and a deep longing to act justly may also be seen as a display of bad faith. According to Sartre, bad faith is the use of freedom without the acknowledgement of its presence (Detmer 203). Being consciously aware of their bad conduct, people still refuse to ponder ...

Brahmacharya is a vow which means that a person is mentally and physically abstaining from all the sensual pleasures. Marriage is supposed to be monogamous and being faithful means respecting the truth. Gandhi understood the true meaning of brahmacharya when he visited South Africa where he was influenced by Raychandbhai. Devotion, which is related to self-control, is the part of being faithful and practicing brahmacharya means taking a vow and denouncing all earthly pleasures which might corrupt a person and their practice.
Gandhi thinks about the true meaning of faithfulness and its connection with devotion. He talks about the ...

The master craftsman, William Shakespeare, in his Othello and The Winter’s Tale portrays some curious facets of femininity, maybe deliberately or not. Desdemona in Othello is a Venetian beauty with astute and resolute individuality, while Hermione in The Winter’s Tale is mysterious and majestic. When we take the reality aspect, the former is more realistic and true to life, which has implications even in this modern present. The latter is to an extent unreal, and somewhat fantasy. Character is everything in Shakespeare’s plays; the works have no existence apart from the characters. In Shakespeare’s plays, ...

The handkerchief is white with red strawberries representing beauty, fertility and purity. It is important because it had belonged to Othello’s mother. It had been given to his father by his mother as a way to ensure his faithfulness to her. The handkerchief symbolizes loyalty, and faithfulness as well as family history to Othello. Othello implies that the handkerchief has magical properties when he says “there’s magic in it” (cite). This gives the implication that the handkerchief has a darker side to it. Later events seem to indicate that the magic/ power of the handkerchief lies in ...

There are different rules and regulations in the Catholic religion to receive the Eucharist at a Catholic mass. The rules and regulations are strict, and only a few people fall in this category who can actually take the Eucharist. There is a question that needs further clarifications that can divorce and civilly remarried Catholics, whose first marriage has not been annulled, be able to receive the Eucharist at Catholic mass? Several critics and authors have discussed this point few have supported the point whereas few does not support this point. Therefore, the paper will present the argumentative discussion on ...

Human life is a very strange thing. It is full of the different happy and sad moments. Each of the stages of life is special in its own way, and of course, a special place belongs to the childhood, which is a kind of the foundation, on which will be forming the life of a human being.

Introduction

People's belief in God is a very personal experience and they are free to join whatever church that most closely aligns with the individual's choice to practice their religion. Catholics believe that they are the only true church; the Jews believe that the messiah is still coming. And so the list of the nuances of the religions goes on and on. In this paper an attempt will be made to examine the Scientology, Heaven's Gate, and Transcendental Meditation as a method of serving God. The end result is the same in that all hope for eternal salvation. But the ...

Reflection Paper: Bad Things

It is without a doubt that bad things happen to good people. It could be a loss of someone beloved, sickness or disability. In the Bible, we recall of people like Job. Job was a faithful servant of God. However, he went through a lot of pain and suffering to a point where he almost cursed God. Rabbi Kushner describes the nine traditional reasons for evil. As such, this paper explores the problem of evil in the light of Kushner’s reasons.
The following case involves Janet, the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Monaco. She was born in ...

The prevalence of HIV/AIDS in San Juan cannot be ignored due to the dangers it poses to the public, the alarming rate at which new people are getting affected and the number of death being reported on a daily basis (CDC, 2011). Thus, this health promotion initiative proposal which its main objectives is to create public awareness on HIV/AIDS, getting people to go for testing and establishment of health facilities is essential to curb the prevalence of HIV/AIDS in San Juan.

Human immunodeficiency virus causes the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome in human beings. The virus attacks the immune system of the body. Specifically, the virus attacks the cd4 cells of the body, which finally leads to the decline in the body thus weakening the defense system. The virus is usually transmitted from an infected person to a healthy person through body fluids such as blood, semen, vaginal fluids and secretions, breast milk and fluids from the rectum. Approximately 1.1 million people in the United States of America are infected with HIV according to the center for disease control (Essien, Meshack, Peters, ...

There are six main categories of corporate failure causes: poor strategic decisions, overexpansion, dominance of CEOs, greed, pride and power, failure of internal controls, and ineffective board of directors (Hamilton and Micklethwait, 2006).
Business collapse can happen in cases where companies do not fully comprehend the relevant business drivers when they decide to expand to new lines of products and services, or meet the demands of additional geographic markets. These lead to poor strategic decisions because they fail to recognize the importance of risk management in their respective industries. They should be able to determine the overall impact ...

Homer’s epic Greek poem “The Odyssey” centers on the heroic quest of a man, however, a remarkably larger role is played by women in the poem. When discussing roles of women in Homer's “The Odyssey,” the women of Ithaca are perhaps most similar to the women in the Greek society, especially because Homer has described the society in his poem with such vivid detail. In comparison to Homer’s Iliad, where the women are not seen frequently and there is not much emphasis on them, but on the other hand, women are everywhere in “The Odyssey” and they have diverse ...

A lot of myths describe judgment, and the good and evil. These apocalyptic tales harbor on morality tales as one sees them describing how one is right and good and will deservingly go to paradise, while those who are not righteous will suffer or be punished in hell. The Myths described in Parallel Myths by J.F. Bierlein border on morality in a big way and in doing so, present some extremely frightening possibilities. Maybe not violent in the sense like widespread bloodshed, but definitely something that is disastrous. Myths perhaps have a purpose in that they shape a person’s understanding of ...

The City and State

Michel Foucault on Visibility and Power
Power analysis is one of the fundamental aspects of Michael Foucault’s philosophical writings. He interprets the power based on the relationship that it creates between society and the institutions in it. Foucault differentiates his idea of power from that fronted by the Marxist. The Marxists view power as a tool of oppression and a form of repression (Foucault 1977, 3). He asserts that the power is not a possession of institutions that can be used and abused for the pleasure of the beholder. The Instead, Foucault focuses on the power, how it is acquired, ...

‘Instructor’s Name’

Acemoglu (2010) emphasizes that theory has a central role to play in empirical economic research. He argues that the role of theory is particularly significant in the areas of general equilibrium analysis and external validity. Economic theory, according to him, should be employed to formulate and define ‘structural parameters,’ and should be used as a motivating force for empirical work.
He further adds that without theory, economic estimates would not have a proper external validity, without which we would not able to find out whether a particular model or theory is an accurate estimate of reality. They also cannot explain ...

Adultery remains the charged topic today that it was back in ancient times. Even though the twentieth century brought it more liberal means for gaining a divorce, and even though cohabitation is catching up with marriage as the relationship structure of choice for many couples, particularly in Europe, the idea that a spouse is cheating on his or her betrothed is still the sort of alluring gossip that draws interest. If this were not true, such spurious stories as Michelle Obama’s plans to divorce the president and Angelina Jolie’s latest decision to leave Brad Pitt would not be among ...
