The paper also seeks to take issue with the use of language as mediating an elucidation and plurification of meaning/s in the text, and aiding in ...

One could call Amos a pastoral prophet, since he was not in the courts of the kings and of priestly lineage (such as Jeremiah). He was a herdsman, and spent time caring for the sycamore trees as well (Amos 7:14). It is important ...

Question 1: Role of an Apology

The purpose of an apology is to restore a pre-existing moral order by expunging hurtful effects of previous actions by accounting for what is not alterable. While it may not achieve this, the motivation for a transgressor to apologize includes the need for forgiveness and reconciliation, which makes it possible to paper over the transgressions and bar them from becoming permanent impediments to social relationships. Further, Tavuchis (1991) argues that apologies speak to some things that are larger than any specific betrayal or desire for expediency/reconciliation (p. 6). Social order is hinged on a measure of commitment to norms in respect of ...
