Come “When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”” (John 11:43) This passage is the demonstration of the true God, who have power to take people from the arms of death. True man and true God who was crying after Lazarus “When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. “Where have you laid him?” he asked. “Come and see, Lord,” they replied. Jesus wept” (John 11:32-35) he is also crying when someone is falling to the eternal ...

Jeff Haden in his article tries to debunk the myth of following our passion. He said that it is easy to feel passionate about your goals until you are no longer passionate about it. People always confuse their hobby or interest with passion. According to him, a passion which can turn into a career is rare. I think the main them of the article is to enable one to differentiate passion from a hobby or a career option. He made the distinction between a job, a career, and a calling (Haden, 2012, paragraph 15). Jobs pay bills; careers are ...

Lineage, birth and childhood

Muhammad was son of Abdullah who was ultimately a descendant of Adam. While his mother Amina was pregnant she came across a divine message which said that she was bearing God’s messenger and was supposed to name him Muhammad. Muhammad’s father died shortly after his birth and he was brought up under the guidance of his grandfather, Abd-Muttalib who roped in foster mothers for the child. The boy Muhammad was then nurtured via humans who found him deserving enough for the futuristic role (Peters, 45). Muhhamad told about himself that his heart was deprecated of any black ...

The overall ethical dilemma is that a police rookie, Peter Liang accidentally killed an unarmed man, Akai Gurley in a dark stairway during a routine patrol.

Specifically, Liang was first accused of breaking a major rule in which he had been trained to “never put his finger on the trigger unless he was ready to shoot”. However, he broke that rule and his negligence led ...

Introduction

The case for sex against gender as bipolar concepts is controversial. If anything, "gender" has arisen as an increasingly adopted concept in social sciences as part of feminist postulations about "inherent" differences between women's femininity and men's masculinity, particularly as to emphasize "gender" as a basis for social and cultural distinction and "sex" as a biological difference between women and men (Haig, 2004). This distinction appears, however, to be more than a linguistic one. Further, in being adopted, both concepts appear to raise calls for re-examination of initial usages – and, for that matter, applications – of both concepts as to ...

Ever since the Second World War, different nations have come together with the aim of creating some form of unity. The various organizations formed by the different countries have mainly aimed at ensuring peace, justice, and economic stability among the countries. These organizations have also played a major role in uniting countries that were once enemies, as well as creating the notion of a citizen of the world. The feeling of being a citizen of the world has promoted more instances of globalization as different groups of people have learned to live with one another. In his Berlin speech ...

Sometimes reality is not an effective medium by which to view the world. In such instances the human eye often looks beyond what is seen in order to reveal what is hidden in plain view, behind the known and mundane aspects that the world has to offer. In those moments it becomes obvious that no matter how mundane a thing is, no matter how commonplace it might seem, there is always something to be seen in the breaths between one click of the camera to the next. There is beauty throughout all aspects of the world, all one needs ...

Introduction

Prophets are people who are set aside and are only held onto account by God alone. In most instances the prophet was expected to convey the message of God without expecting appraisal from the people. At the same time, there are instances where in the message presented by him or she may receive opposition. This is most often an indication that, his message is of God since, it is po9stulated by Jesus Christ that, Prophet are less often welcomed and rejection for sake of word of God is part and parcel of the divine ministry.

Zaraska, Marta. "Is Lab-Grown Meat Good for Us?" The Atlantic. Atlantic Media Company, 19 Aug. 2013. Web. 7 Nov. 2014.

This article reports on the possible advantages lab-grown meat has over conventional meat. The first discussed advantage is the ability to alter the fat and iron content of the cultured meat. Saturated fats and heme iron are implicated in cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and also certain cancers. Nutrition can also be altered by fortifying the cultured meat with vitamins and minerals, much like in the addition of vitamins in fruit juices. Another advantage is the decrease in risk of zoonosis, which occurs when infectious diseases are transferred from farmed animals to people. There are also distinct environmental advantages of growing ...

We begin by reading a tragic denouement ending of Mark’s story. Jesus is arrested by the authorities and leads to desertion. Jesus second sermon speaks of powers that are toppled by Human. When Mark narrates the moment, disciples were caught off guard. The passion narrative is filled with execution. We cannot understand this message and the hope it bears unless we come to terms with terrible realism. Mark begins the Passion narrative with two stories where Jesus is the King and the other one a Banquet. Each prepares the reader for the tragic turn. The plot is about to take ...

Tears streamed down my face and I looked at her mother seated beside me. Her face was like stone and she sat fixedly staring at the white casket covered with white and yellow jasmines. Claudia loved those and it was only a week ago that I had sent her a bouquet. I was making up for taking so long to go down to see her. We were 30 miles apart and sometimes work kept me from driving down to see her most weekends. Now here I am sitting there in this small church wondering and wanting to know what really happened. ...

Medicine is a life long commitment to learning. The learning process that the physician goes through is for humanistic purposes and our calling is to tend to the ill and the most vulnerable around us.

Background

The article is a study conducted by Leona R. Zboril-Benson focusing on identifying the cause of absentee among nurses in Canada. It is apparent from the study that the country is experiencing the lack of nurses and the large number of employed nurses was shown to have higher probability of leaving their job, which manifests in the frequency of absenteeism based on the responses from the correspondences. The problem was attributed to the health-care restructuring in the public and private health-care sector in Canada. The problem in focus is the increasing number of nurses calling in sick, which in return ...

Introduction

The United Kingdom (UK) is among the few nations in the world that has achieved the status of being a “great power”. One could succinctly describe a great power as a nation that has the ability to impose its influence across the globe, counting on strengths in the aspects of political, military and economic power. A great power usually finds classification between a first-order power like the United States of America (US) and a third-order power (regional power) like South Africa, Poland and South Korea (Louden, 2007, p.187). Thus, in speaking about the UK being a great power, one could possibly not help but ...

The robotic arm moved from side to side, as if waving hello. My friend Tim was running some final tests before the MATE ROV competition, which he had been working towards with his team for months. Together they built a submarine Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) and I had the incredible opportunity to participate! The goal of the competition itself, every year, is to complete a series of tasks underwater and in a limited amount of time. Each year, though, has a general theme that is applied to the competition, such as “fixing the BP oil spill” or “detecting sunken World War ...

Understanding oneself is the way to happiness. Philosophy as taught by Socrates helps people turn inwards and in the process better themselves. Socrates apology is an account of the speech he made in a trial when he was being charged with not recognizing the gods that the state recognized. Instead, according to his accusers, he invented new gods and corrupted the youth in Athens. This speech is, however, not an apology as the modern meaning of the word suggests. The word apology in the speech is derived from the Greek word apologia that means a speech made in defense of, therefore, ...

The doctrine of vocation originates from days of creation when God granted man the ability to populate and take care of the earth. He has given people different abilities and talents such that no single person is independent of the other and thus each serves another depending on their calling (Veith, 9). IT is a modern profession that does not exist in history unlike its counterparts such as medicine, teaching and music. At one time, Christians even started believing that the spiritual world was inside a person and not within his daily external preoccupations and that modernity ran on meaningless natural ...

Veith (2002) provides a detailed discussion on the meaning of vocation and he provides various examples to state that vocation is not only about a single occupation however it comprises of the various responsibilities that are usually handled by an individual in various roles. Similarly for an IT professional, there are multiple roles played by an individual and therefore there is a strong similarity between the vocation about which Veith discussed, and the normal vocation calling of an IT professional. It is usually observed that the roles related to information technology professionals are multidimensional and therefore it is very difficult to create a boundary ...

In Knockout, Suzanne Somers interviews a number of doctors who have very specific ideas on cancer treatment and prevention – namely, that radiation, chemotherapy, and mammography do not work, and can actually cause more harm than good. They then proceed to offer their own alternatives, usually from their own field of medicine, which they claim are much better solutions for preventing and treating cancer. Somers then goes on to detail her own experiences working with doctors in the face of a misdiagnosis of cancer, and how that led her to seek alternative treatments and preventative measures. Upon reading this book, I ...

Nursing professionalism

Since medieval times, the concept of nursing care has been associated with an array of meanings ranging from the provision of basic care to the young, sick and elderly to Nigthingale’s 1858 definition of the goal of nursing as being to put the patient in the most appropriate condition for nature processes to act upon him to current definitions by nursing theorists and professional nursing bodies. For example, the American Nurses Association (1995) defined nursing as the “diagnosis and treatments of human responses to health and illness” (Brunner, Bare & Smeelter, 2009, p.5). Based on these definitions and depending ...

Abstract

Bullying and discrimination are a pervasive and highly damaging situation within school systems throughout the country (NYSUT, 2013). In recent years, this trend has expanded to include issues of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) related bullying and abuse, and the increasing dangers of cyberbullying (i.e. the use of the Internet to abuse classmates), making it paramount to pass legislation that is effective in controlling these trends. The possible effectiveness of the DASA (or Dignity Act) as anti-bullying legislation will be discussed, as well as the historical background of bullying as a practice and its effects. While anti-bullying measures such as ...

Background

The joining forces policy is an initiative developed by First lady Michele Obama in conjunction with the secretary of State Joe Biden. The initiative is meant to call attention to veterans of the United States who have gone to war for their country and are cleared to join the society after their service. The initiative stems from the moral obligation that soldiers who have come from war fighting for their country should not come home only to continue the war which this time has to do with fighting for job opportunities (AAN, 2014). The policy was developed prompted ...

Everybody has something innate that is endowed upon a person without compensation and voluntarily. According to Richard and David, every person is endowed with a calling that help them to fulfill a unique purpose in this world.

On 13 December 2012, Robert Parker, a sports columnist and panelist made racially motivated comments about Robert Griffin III; a Washington Redkins rookie quarterback during an ESPN sports panel show. Parker, an African American himself, questioned whether Griffin was a true African American due to some of his characteristics and behaviors; both physical and social, which seemed to be deviant from those of the “conventional” or “typical” black individual. Parker referred to Griffin as a “cornball brother”, something that his fellow panelists had no idea about and that consequently left them bewildered. Parker then went into a lengthy explanation of what he r meant ...

Ethical dilemma

Since the United States is arguably the most natural disaster prone area in the whole world, it occurred to me that working at the center for Preparedness and Recovery might be wise career choice for me. Besides, helping people in times of need has always been a calling of mine. This work was also very well suited for me since I grew up in a morally strong background. Everyone in my family was involved in one way, or another in giving back to the community. Therefore, this job is much as a duty for my country as much as it is my calling. ...

Immigration in America

Immigration in America began in 16th century with Spanish settlers, later English and French settlers joined in the 17th century. However, despite continuous immigration in American history, 1880 to 1924 proved to be the epochal period. Between the year 1877 and 1900 immigration took a different perspective as the number increased, increasing concern within the native-born white Americans as compared to the Indian people or black people living in America. During that period, approximately 7,348,000 immigrants entered United States. This led to increase in population from 49 million within 1880’s to 76 Million in the year, 1900. ...

Capital Punishment as Public Policy: Bane or Boon?

In the philosophy of those that advocate for the implementation of capital punishment as a form of public policy in crime deterrence and punitive criminal agenda, the crime should befit the punishment. If a life has been taken, then the life of the one who took that life must be the “payment” for the crime. In the United States, the implementation of capital punishment as a crime deterrence policy is still much in force; of the 50 states in the Union, only 14 have abrogated the use of the death penalty in their criminal laws. However, with the prevailing economic conditions, ...

Before the discovery of Atget’s photography, photographs were not known as a form of documentary. Eugene Atget, who was an only child and an orphan from the age of five, started photography as a profession when he was forty years old. This is after he had been a sailor and an actor. Atget’s work was not recognised until later by an American called Man Ray who introduced his work to the world thus making it popular and famous.

Introduction

In many societies, in the world, the role of women was that of caregiver or nursing care. The nurturing of children by mothers gave people the supposition that the women can provide the same care to the ailing and wounded in the society. Nursing history, as a piece of women’s history, has faced the paradox of being women’s work: invisible, devalued, and underpaid and yet a critical necessity to society (Judd et al., 2010). In the early years, there were no learning that existed for the caregivers, it was a trade passed from one generation to another or through try-out ...

Thesis: As of the present time, the absence of democracy and Western ideals of peace in areas such as Ukraine and North Korea emphasizes a possibility of America failing to act as a global police because one move they make may be read differently by the opposing side and declare war, which America is trying to prevent. - Since the end of the Cold War, the United States had been active to stop the onset of war or conflict in highly tensed nations which were either marred by terrorism or the lack of democracy under the Wilsonian foreign policy made ...

Aristotle is considered to be on one of the greatest philosophers that ever lived. He is referred to as the teacher of metaphysics ethics and logic.

The creationist theorists have devised a tactic to include disclaimers in science texts. The disclaimers usually contain misconceptions aimed at discrediting scientific theories regarding the origin of life. Some people argue that the failure of creationists to have the theory of creation taught in science classes along with the evolution theory has led to the use of disclaimers as a way to discredit the theory of evolution. In the current scenario, the effort to discredit evolution is apparent from phrases such as “Evolution also refers to the unproven belief that random, undirected forces produced a world of living beings.” Such statement ...

The concept of critical thinking entails a way of finding out whether the information received is true or false. There are six principles that govern the process of critical thinking. The first principle dictates that for an extraordinary claim to be made it must be supported by extraordinary evidence. The level of extraordinariness of a claim is determined by how much a claim goes against what we already believe. The more a claim is unexpected, the more one needs in terms of supporting evidence so that a claim can be believed. This theory is important in critical thinking because it pushes one beyond ...

Introduction and Thesis

God has a purpose for each and every human being. From the biblical teachings, God uses certain individuals, especially the least expected, to achieve His plans for human beings. All difficulties can be overcome by these chosen individuals, although before humans it may appear impossible to realize certain things, but to God nothing is impossible. Dietrich Bonhoeffer is a good example of how God works through people to show his greatness, especially a time when it appears to be no hope. Dietrich Bonhoeffer was born ...

Mobile telephones are now an integral element of everyday life in most developed countries. However, whilst for many users they have become indispensable and almost an extension of the hand – especially for the younger generation – mobile phones can also represent a real safety hazard. Using one whilst driving a vehicle, even if the phone is set to hands free mode, is a distraction from driving, and is illegal in many states and countries. Moreover, using a phone to compile a text message while driving is even more dangerous, because it requires more concentration to input text characters, and, therefore, less concentration is available for ...

Malcolm X, also known as Malcolm Little and El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, is a prominent figure in American history of the 20th century and, in particular, in the fight with white racism against black people. The attitude of general public and the American government to his persona drastically changed decades after his death. The culmination of the changed and now positive opinion about his actions, speeches and overall influence on the American society was reflected in the 1992 Spike Lee movie Malcolm X, where the infamous Denzel Washington was invited to play Malcolm, as well as in Malcolm X being honored ...

The outbreak of a war at Fort Sumter in April 1861 prompted many northern African Americans to volunteer for service in the Union Army. Initially, this issue faced rejection notably with President Abraham Lincoln refusing various petitions presented by the black people. Even after the congress had passed an act which authorized the president to use escaped slaves and black Americans in oppressing the rebellion, the president was still adamant and refused to adhere to the act. Even after free blacks and slaves from the south had started asking for the same thing, the president and government were still not ...

Nationalism, Religion and Gender are prevalent in the texts “The Good Lord Bird” and “The Farming of Bones.” The two texts stem out as informative and engaging pieces of writing. Both books are written from a comical stance, and embrace beauty in their calling. They are captivating in the way they elicit suspense and evoke varied emotions among their audience. Unflinchingly deemed as irreverent, they refuse to draw clean lines between the good personnel and the bad, between the abolitionists and the pro-slavery folks. The authors have touched on several themes, whereby religion, nationalism, religion, and gender emerging as the ...
