Christians Case Studies Samples For Students

Through lines of history, it can be traced that the Catholic Church has been an extremely powerful institution exhibiting tremendous religious and political power over the society. This institution has also faced opposition and has mutually opposed several other institutions which have tried to bring about reformations in the society. One such reformations that the Catholic Church clearly opposed was the propagation of Marxist ideas, as these opposed the religious ideas and beliefs, and threatened the authority of the church. Thus, religion and politics became dynamically intermingled (Dodson, 1986, p. 37.) In this case study, we are going to ...

Nowadays, religion is the fundamental part in our culture. The question is, where did it came from, and what is its nature? Experience can explain this idea, first by considering the Stone Age people. Their minds gathered empirical realities necessary for survival and they did the best they could in drawing conclusions about the world beyond them. They call themselves “the people” and thought that strangers are creatures of another sort, less human than they are. With no defined difference between spirit and materiality, they believed that in preserving a corpse helps to preserve the spirit of the one who ...

Chapter 9: What are the differing views of the culture of individualism versus communalism?

The case study on Chapter 9 pitches the concept of economic development model of the western world as implemented in Southwestern Nigeria. The economic planning model being espoused hinges on greater productivity and decreased pollution. While this is an ideal development path in the western world, it contradicts the local people’s beliefs, specifically of the Yoruba villages. While they agree on increased production, it hinges on the role of their women. If they will have less children and just two wives, their economic and social roles will be affected.

Application of the Natural Law Theory in the Management of a Case in Relation with the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care

Introduction

Natural laws are principles with reasons used to examine the human nature and are set by the natural world. These natural laws in most cases use justification to examine the nature of humans and try to explain morality and ethics basing on the religious perspective. Additionally, natural laws often are joined with common laws and norms of the societies but in most cases these natural laws contend that specific rights and values are acquired genetically from parents. In addition, these natural laws are related to ethical and religious directives for catholic health care which actually stipulate the bioethics ...

The question of euthanasia for patients with terminal illnesses lends itself to different worldviews and interpretations. George’s condition of ALS has forced him to consider euthanasia. From, a Christian standpoint, this choice is wrong because only God the Creator has the authority over life and death. Also, Buddhism does not favor euthanasia. The question of the causes of sickness also lends itself to religious interpretation. Christian interpretations are varied. One view is that ...

Post 1

I do concur with the first post concerning the essentiality of business relationships in achieving success of a business. Furthermore, having a sister over to further her faith, biblically, is the best idea because Jesus in the New Testament intended for the Good News to be spread (Bratton and Strittmatter, 2013). However, in a business situation, a sister will be more of a distraction along the path for success. For Carlos, as much as he is a non-Christian, it is Shania’s duty to try her best to turn him onto the right path. Jesus said that it is important for one to remove the ...

The world has a variety of geographical features located in different places and which not only act as attraction sites but end up defining the commodities that come from the place. Uniquely, every part of the world has striking geographical features, and this makes the whole world attractive. In addition to the features, the world has major cities that stand out from the rest of the towns, and which also end up dictating not only the economic activities but also the type of people in the area.
Additionally, Africa is a large continent that is rich in diversified cultures, ...

The ethical issue is derived from whether doctors should have hard paternalism over patient autonomy when a decision could negatively affect the patient’s health goals. Some of the pertinent ethical facts in the case of whether Mrs. B may be taken off of life support is as followed:

Does Mrs.B have a living will and has her daughter inquired for it? If Mrs. B has a living will, some state’s jurisdiction will insist that any directions in it must not be compromised by her daughter's decisions. 
Does Mrs. B's condition render the requirements necessary to prompt the ...

The fight against crime can be dealt with and has been dealt with in many ways. One of the most prompted ways of fighting crime is the reduction and fight against drug abuse and substance abuse.

As a political science student I carried out an interview with a catholic catechist who takes part in the interfaith drug policy initiative on the take of the organization on crime.

Abstract

In this essay I briefly attempt to draw on religious morality and essentially using the ideas of Nietzsche, dismantle them slightly to discover their relevance today. Using ideas from T.H Green I initially try to establish the religious ideas of morality and how society should work or how Christianity would like them to work and then bring this down to reality, exposing its irrationality and immaturity. Drawing finally on the conclusion that a large portion of modern society actually functions quite well without religion and the fear of the death of religion is unfounded, life would continue on the same ...

The God squad group, mainly made of boys in junior and senior years, uses the 9/11 attacks as a rallying point for combination of white supremacist, racist, anti-Semitic, ant-Islamic, anti-immigrant, ant-gay, nee-fascist dogma mixed with a good dose of anti-abortion and fundamentalist Christian diatribe.
