Essays on Faithful

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 ...

As many of you may have noticed, after our successful resistance against Mr. Frederick and his band of hooligans, Boxer, our most dedicated, faithful and hard-working colleague and community presence has been absent from the farm. The reasons for his absence are a direct result of his heroic but unsuccessful efforts to save the windmill. Indeed, during the battle, Boxer was injured. While we were able to heal most of injuries, there were some that we were not able to get supplies for. As a result, he was never able to return to his previous form. Several days earlier, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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. Why is it so strong? Is it more than just clothes?

Qur’an explains the dress code for the believers and established several rules about clothes for both men and women.

The first rule says that clothes must be nice and luxurious but the best garment for a faithful person is righteousness. “O Children of Adam! We have bestowed raiment upon you to cover ...

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. My prayer ...

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 ...

A conceptual framework that incorporates the use of accounting practices that ensure consistency, coherence, acts as a guide to financial reporting and is easily understood by users is what is required for financial statement users.

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 ...

Augustine

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 Nehan zu painting depicting the death of Sakyamuni, the historical Buddha is one of the oldest and greatest work of art ever to be made.

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 ...

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.

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.

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). The difference lies in fact that these processes occur at different times and in various specific historical conditions. The Muslim Reformation expressed primarily in the revision (or attempt to revise) religious motivations of the various aspects of social life and only marginally affected the proper theological questions. In Islam church and clergy similar to a ...

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, ...

In Medieval Literature women tend to be depicted as having no agency. They have act in accordance to the man’s will and have events acted upon them. In many cases they are nothing more than props used to provide the hero a basis for a heroic act.

In Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, we have Guinevere, Lady Bertlak and Morgana Le Fay. Guinevere is the first women that we meet ...

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 ...

The name of this woman is shrouded in the fog of romanticism and mystery associated with the legend of extraordinary beauty and mysterious death. What was this woman for real? What is the secret of interest in her? Why did historical tradition and Shakespeare bound together the names of Cleopatra and Caesar, Cleopatra and Anthony? Cleopatra VII Philopator was born in 69 BC. Her father was Ptolemy XII Auletes. Besides, her family had two sisters and two brothers, both younger than her.

English 2332

An examination of literary criticisms of the Odyssey by Homer, who many consider the greatest author of the Greek empire, demonstrates that the fundamental nature of humanity has not changed in three thousand years. This epic poem must have been dissected and analyzed hundreds of times, if not thousands of times, since it was written. It is a timeless work because it reflects, among other things, how human nature has changed very little over time. The events and characters in this epic do portray, in many ways, the continued infatuation with war and killing, especially in the twentieth century. ...

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 ...

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.

Authors, just like any other artists, have different approaches through which they divulge their intended message to the target audience.

In this story, for instance, the major themes of the story as well as the artistic prowess of the author have been largely brought out through Dmitri Gurov, the protagonist in the text, ...

- In Luke 1:43, the Holy Spirit first works in the form of Elizabeth (Oxford). In this moment, she proclaims the coming birth of the Lord through her sister and exalts Mary as blessed.

Without the presence of the Holy Spirit, Elizabeth would not have known these things. The Spirit then appears in Simeon to proclaim Jesus as Lord to both his parents. Unlike the first passage, this one further expounds on the baby’s purpose to be “a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel (Oxford Luke 2:32). He then further predicts the ...

It seems that there is no subject surrounded in so much taboo as when it comes to sexual attitudes and behaviors.

With companies catering towards married individuals boasting over 20 million customers (Woo, 2013), is it possible that humans are not meant to be monogamous? ...

1) In her essay "The Five Sexes," Fausto-Sternling (1993) argues that there are multiple intersexes that exist between male and female.

In the case of Levi Suydam, an intersexual man who wished to vote in 1843; since he was considered a woman, he was initially barred from voting, since women could not vote at that time.

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 ...

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.
