Introduction

Education needs Christian leaders who have an knowledge, understanding, and love of God’s Word. These leaders ought to have qualities born out of love for their fellow human beings. They should also have a spiritual insight and vision that can be shared to other people in order to lead spiritually, ethically, and/or morally. Further, Christian leaders should have competence to converge individuals because of their diverse backgrounds. Likewise, leaders ought to shepherd God’s children for them to become disciplines later on. In view of the latter statements, this paper is just about the principles of ethics for educational ...

Dreams are a profound mystery that largely went unexplained throughout the majority of human history until Sigmund Freud tried tangling with them. One of his assertions was that if a person feels guilt for any reason but then represses that guilt so that he no longer senses it on a conscious level, it will emerge on an unconscious level, such as through insanity or nightmares. It is possible to repress guilt, of course, so that it no longer has much to do with us on a day-to-day level, but it does not leave. It simply lurks in a different ...

The term ‘worldview’ simply refers to an individual’s perception of the world around him, which is often based on the existing knowledge that he has accumulated over the years. As observed by scholars, people do not possess a ‘tabula rasa’ or blank mind when it comes to the natural world around them since they have their own opinion and values as shaped by their “socio-cultural environment or from previous educational experiences”.

The question of origin – (How did life begin? How did mankind come into existence?)

According to the Christian beliefs, all life forms, including mankind, were created by God. This belief is clearly articulated in the story of creation in ...

1 Is there some action you think qualifies as being objectively right or wrong? That is, some action that everyone should see as proper and moral because it is really bad and not just bad because someone or some culture says it is bad? If you think you have a candidate, tell us what it is and make sure you give some reasons why you think it is objective. If you don’t think there are any objective values, explain why.
Laws and social mores have been developed and re-worked for millennia, often using religious thought as a catalyst. Humanity ...

Introduction

Socrates distinct himself from the definition of what is pious, a state of being piety. With different view from Euthyphro, Socrates believes that the definition of pious is “what is dear to gods” rather than prosecuting wrongdoers using the proof from the traditional stories, this is according to Euthyphro. Socrates first argues that if the traditional stories are followed to achieve justice, they could lead to biased results. This is because “if it is true that gods quarrel about justice among themselves, then what some god’s love, others must hate. Socrates therefore argues that not all things that are ...

1. Introduction
This thesis shall be limited to a critical analysis of Alain de Botton’s book, The Consolations of Philosophy; of the year 2000 which introduced a new perspective not only to the study of philosophy but also its application in our day to day lives.

Therefore whilst the latter ...

For the traditional student, college is the next step after high school. He takes only a few months off between high school and college as he did between the previous 12 years of his scholastic life, a whirlwind transition that leaves little time for maturation or new life experiences between being a senior in one place and a freshman in the next. Adult learners, however, bring a fully-formed identity as an adult with them into the college classroom. Educationally, they may have finished high school several years prior, not have finished high school at all, or be completing a ...

Angela Locke’s essay “Born Poor and Smart” offers a pointed critique of social stratification and the cultural divides between rich and poor that maintain these systemic inequalities. Detailing her poor childhood and the long, arduous road she took to becoming financially solvent, Locke offers a laconic, straightforward essay that speaks truth to power while also demonstrating the problems the poor have in being able to uplift themselves out of poverty. While Locke misses a few fundamental differences between the rich and the poor in her logic, “Born Poor and Smart” offers a significant sense of ethos and pathos ...

Introduction

Socrates is considered one of the greatest philosophers in the history of Western Europe. Virtually every person that goes through the education system must come across his name, his works, or his demise story. Greek official had previously put Socrates in jail for the charges of ‘corrupting the mind' of the Athens' youth. In the eyes of the wealthy and the influential, Socrates was making a fool of them by empowering the young people with new information about the society and its leadership among other things. When put to jail, he was scheduled for death in a few days, ...

Ethics

White (2008) states that while a social worker is expected to uphold the interest of his or her client, there are various situations that may challenge this ideal objective. The conflicts of interest may arise when the interest of the social worker interfere with the attention of the needs and interest of the client, whether it may be for personal, financial, occupational, sexual or spiritual motives. The conflict may also take place when the tension arises in upholding the rights of several parties to whom the social worker owes loyalty. The NASW Code mandates the all social workers should be ...

Herein I answer the following three questions:
"I discoveredabout the poets that no wisdom enabled them to compose as they did" What do poets (and, presumably, artists of all sorts) lack, according to Socrates?

Some people appear to defend this argument: if you offend my religion, I have a right to break the law, doing violence to you or your fellow citizen and their property in your own country and abroad. Given Socrates' central argument in Crito, what might he say to that?

Plato writes of "Beauty itself" and "Good itself." What does he mean by "itself"? Draw ...

In the W. H. Auden poem “Unknown Citizen,” as well as the Edwin Arlington Robinson poem “Richard Cory,” we see two very glowing (on the surface) accounts of an individual. In the former, we hear about the titular citizen, only known through the weird, abstract figure JS/07 N 378, and in the latter Richard Cory; both of these men are said to have everything anyone could want, and do everything right. However, both poems subtly reveal a darkness and emptiness in the lives of these men that speaks very clearly to the human condition, in particular its apparent futility. In ...
