Introduction Conscience is one of the most commonly experienced psychological faculty of an individual, but is also one of the least understood. For many years, little attention have been given towards understanding conscience; particularly on how it is shaped and who influenced the modern understanding of this concept. Nevertheless, conscience is an important phenomenon that requires significant attention primarily because it impacts all human judgment. The manifestation of conscience delineates man from other animals species as conscience is proof of man’s self-consciousness; an attribute that is only observable among human species. As a learned psychological faculty, ...

Catholicism

Catholicism is a religious denomination that intrigues me by claiming to be a continuation of the early Christian ministry established by Jesus Christ and for the fact that it is far much the oldest Christian group today. It is a combination of several Catholic churches who share common doctrines, theology, and spirituality with the belief that Jesus Christ is the son of God. From my research, I was able to observe clearly all the rituals and rites performed at the Cathedral of Christ the Light Church in Oakland. Most importantly I shared this information with three priests Mark, James, ...

Immanuel Kant stance on ethics is remarkable, as it pays no heed to the consequences of an action arguing that there exist particular objective rules that can be discovered by reasoning beings. The categorical imperative is simply an expression of this. Such theories are called “deontological” ethical theories; the root of the word is derived from the Greek word “deon” that means duty. Therefore, the categorical imperative states that people have a duty to act in particular ways according to moral laws. Kant’s categorical imperative pays a greater emphasis on the intent of an action as opposed to ...

What are the similarities and differences between the understanding of ultimate reality (God) in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam? Would you say these three religions worship the same God? Why? Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are the main world monotheistic religions. Monotheism means the belief in one god. To the Jews God is known as Jehovah, in Christianity He called Father or the Lord, Muslims call Him Allah. (Paterson) Each religion has the sacred texts where the divine history is written. The sacred book for Jews is the Torah or Pentateuch. For Christians it is Bible that derives from Thora and ...

The immorality of body tattooing

Evidence of mummified tattooed bodies shows that the art that people referred to as tattooing has existed for thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians did it, so did the Chinese. Indians, to this day are known for it through their artistic henna tattoos. Even the Samurais of Japan took up tattooing as a means of replacing their armor when they were disbanded (Ink Done Right). However, the question of whether tattooing one’s body is morally right or not is one that is yet to be answered. Many debates and discussions come up especially in regard to religion and tattooing.

Answer the Questions

Worldview is a set of creeds and acceptations that reflects people’s attitude to the outwards things. Worldview refers to such questions as the origin of the world, human beings, and living creatures, sense of life, God’s existence, moral issues, and absolutes. (Ministry)

Describe the various worldviews that we discuss in the class.

There are three types of worldview. They are naturalism, non-naturalism, and supernaturalism. Naturalism states that there are only natural things that exist, and studied by natural science.

Non-naturalism assumes that some moral values exist and they are much higher than the natural values.

Supernaturalism proclaims at least one intellect existence beyond ...

The central claim of supersessionism, an ancient Christian mindset that can be traced way back to the first century, is the forfeiture of God’s covenant with Jews due to their collective guilt over the death of Jesus (Cunningham 1). This ancient thinking could very well be found before the Second Vatican Council. It even found expression from Pope Pius X in a personal message to Theodor Herzl in 1904 – that the Jewish faith was the foundation of Christianity – but was replaced by the teachings of Christ (Cunningham 2). However, in the same verse in his epistle to the ...

Faith is a serious matter. So serious that it has been studied, researched and investigated along the History of mankind by religious and science experts. Sociology is a branch of science that studies not only the origin, development and structure of human societies, in general, but also the behavior of individuals and groups. It is, therefore, quite natural that Sociology pays close attention to religion as a rich field of investigation, as it is connected to what is the most precious in human terms: your mind, or if your prefer, your soul. Religion commands people’s feelings, beliefs, conduct ...

A New Relationship between Christians and Jews

The central claim of supersessionism, an ancient Christian mindset that can be traced way back to the first century, is the forfeiture of God’s covenant with the Jews due to their collective guilt over the death of Jesus (Cunningham 1). This ancient thinking can still be found before Vatican Council II and even found expression from Pope Pius X in a personal message to Theodor Herzl in 1904: “The Jewish faith was the foundation of our own, but it has been superseded by the teachings of Christ” (Cunningham 2). Saint Paul wrote ...

Augustine and Pelagius on Nature and Grace

In the 5th century, in the Church of Rome, the theological debate arises about the balance of forces of human nature and the grace of God in the salvation of man. Long before the separation of the Churches, the theological debate has significant influences on the development of Western Christianity both in the Roman Catholic and Protestant traditions. Particularly, the debate focused with the two important and outstanding names of the history, the Father of the Western Church, Saint Augustine of Hippo with his counterpart monk Pelagius, both are involved of this argument. Correspondingly, the Pelagian controversy has changed ...

“The land ethic,” which is found in the work of Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac, is a theoretical philosophical framework. In it, Leopold tries to confront the weaknesses which he say encompass common environmental conservation. Leopold, a trained forester, and hunter, cherished and recognized the benefits of nature (Leopold, 2014). Having lived through the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression, he witnessed fertile top soil in southwestern Wisconsin blown away by the wind and eventually sip into the sea. These he observed were as a result of human activities and wondered how, despite the profit motives of man ...

There are many principles that should be considered by the counselors. Usually the societies where the counselors work quite diverse. It is important to remember that there are certain standards and beliefs that counselors ought to follow no matter what. Cultural diversity should not prevent counselors from helping people. According to Ethno Connect: “Diversity is nothing more than a difference from the majority” (Ethno Connect, 2015). All people are different and just because they do not match to the vast majority it does not make them better or worse from the others. Counselor should always remember that. Chapter 10 ...
