Human trafficking is a worldwide problem. For all practical purposes, this activity is nothing but a form of modern slavery. Every year, about 21 million people are caught up in human trafficking from about 130 countries around the world. Without a doubt, this is a serious issue given that it violates human rights that the United Nations takes very seriously - and should. While this pertains mostly to women who are sold into prostitution while also involving children and young boys as well who are coerced into forced labour as well. Given the atrocities around the world, the purpose ...

Christianity and Homosexuality In the article, “A Christian Perspective on Homosexuality” strives to answer the question of whether the lifestyle of homosexuality is immoral. The author begins the article by pointing out that the church has been placed into the position that this is such an important matter that regulates millions of Christian lives that they are unable to avoid it. Another reason why this matter has become unavoidable is due to people are being killed over it on a daily basis, such as Matthew Shepard, the student from Wyoming, or a host of Catholic priests being convicted for ...

Tennyson, “The Eagle”. Discussion Question: How is the solitary eagle’s strength emphasized in the first stanza? Does the reader “join” the eagle in the second stanza? How or how not? The reader joins the eagle in his dive in the second stanza through the metaphorical comparison with a thunderbolt. Captivated by the bird’s masterful and exact description in the first part of the poem, the reader has no choice but to follow the eagle’s majestic fall towards the water. This is also achieved by the personification of the predator, as the author uses pronouns “he”, and “ ...

Hebrews

In Hebrews 2:1-4, this passage of the Bible speaks of our spiritual well-being and the importance of not straying away from the Holy word. It teaches many lessons within this small passage. “The Biblical verse is giving Christians a command, or a duty” (Piper). We will review four various reasons for the exhortation the Bible speaks of. “The first reason focuses on the significant factor of danger when we drift from our salvation and neglect it” (Stroud). It can become possible to depart from the teachings of God so much to the point where it might be impossible for ...

How does Willard Describe Humanity?

Willard describes humanity as ‘different from other creatures’. He explains this description by saying that human beings, unlike other creatures, have a purpose, aspirations, and a power beyond what we know we possess (Willard, 1991, pg. 47). Humanity is defined by the presence of a body and a soul, in addition to the exceptional possibilities that have the power to lead us to heaven or hell. Though made a little less than a god, human beings are care for by God, which is an indication of the intrinsic importance and uniqueness of humanity. People even have power over animals, ...

Introduction Vampires are mythical creatures that appear in ancient folklores. Most cultures have their own version of the vampire although they share a common characteristic; that is, the lust for human blood. There is no particular gender to the vampire character. Male and female vampires do exists even in ancient literatures, making the vampire one of the most gender neutral characters. The depiction of the female vampire in human culture, however, is an interesting way of looking into the development of women, particularly on how society views women and their social status over the course of time. ...

I visited the zoo last month, on a windy afternoon. It was an absolutely fantastic day, amongst different faunae, and a supremely knowledgeable experience. The long hours spent on studying the animals has been absolutely worth it, and the four animals that I chose to write this essay on are the Lion, the Giraffe, the Crocodile, and the Ostrich. The Lion, or the Panthera Leo, usuallya lives in groups called prides. One pride may consist of 15 to 50 lions. The pact that a pride has is to hunt for food, raise cubs, as well as fight against any ...

CHAPTER THREE: MAN AND ARAB MASCULINITY

As Carabí and Armengol (2014) show in their study, Arab masculinity is a hybrid concept entailing adherence to traditional patriarchal values held for centuries in the Arabic world and supported by the religious component of Islam; however, it also “allows liberal values” which might contradict this traditional patterns. Cultural and societal representation of Arab masculinity is thereby rather complex and might emerge in a variety of contexts including family and society on the larger scale. In these representations, stereotypical images of man in traditional Arab context might enclose controversies and correlations between liberal-secular masculinity and conservative masculinity image entrenched ...

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 ...

In the modern world, there has been a trend to redefine the terms and acceptability associated with sexuality. This is perhaps best explicated by the presence of modern-day laws that advertently protect sexuality that is known from the basic laws of nature to be ‘unnatural’. Humanity in the contemporary world has seemingly yet very certainly so, changed the whole concept of sexuality to suit the status quo of modern-day sexuality. Additionally, there is quite a lengthy array of sexual misconduct accorded to humankind by God through the Bible, and that has apparently become a mere ‘conjecture’ to the present ...

Abstract

The worldview of a person is their view and understanding of their entire existence, including the world they live in. Religious beliefs reflectcolor a person’s worldview very strongly. In a comparative look, Christianity and Sikhism have some commonality as monotheistic approaches to the world, in the necessity for moral and ethical behavior that is good, in seeking truth, and in serving an all-knowing God Wwho imparts some of that knowledge to mankind. However, there are noticeable differences in beliefs about death and afterlife, human definition, and the meaning of human history. These beliefs structure their worldviews ...

Children are often considered treasures for families especially as they would be the voices of the future. They must be given the capacity to study, grow and become productive citizens without fearing to work or be abused in any way. However, some children are forced into slavery and trafficked into sexual workers. Although action has been enacted by the international community to stop child sexual trafficking, there are still regions – such as South Asia, which still has high cases of child trafficking. Considering this issue, it is a question as to why child sex trafficking continues to persist in ...

Introduction

The restoration of the Sistine Chapel, perhaps one of the most famous examples of western art by Michelangelo began in 1965 as an initiative by Deoclecio Redig de Campos, who would later become the Vatican Museums’ general director in 1971. The scientific aspects arising in this project would be handled by Fabrizio Mancinelli as well as Gianluigi Colalucci, Maurizio Rossi, Bruno Baratti and Giorgio Bonetti master restorers. The cleaning of these frescoes would include only the depictions of the scenes with Jesus and Moses in the fifteenth-century paintings. At this time, the two 16th century frescoes located at the ...

Radiography can be defined as the science of making film records from X-rays, also known as radiographs of the human body’s internal anatomy, by exposing a film that has been sensitized to electromagnetic radiation to the body. It is with these photographs that a record is made out of the findings which are used for examination in the diagnostic processes (Hertrich, 2005). It was formally referred as ‘plain’ X-rays but was switched to the use of electromagnetic radiation because it is the suitable general term that covers the other types of medical imaging like ultrasound. Radiography is usually ...

In what ways can we say that cannibalism exists in a normative cultural framework?

Cannibalism is the act of eating human flesh. It is also known as anthropophagy in which a person is not bound to eat human flesh but his/her different organs as well. The act was first identified in the tribe of West Indies. The origin of the term ‘Canibales’ is quite controversial as many narratives said that Christopher Columbus mistakenly called them ‘Canibales’ instead of Caribs. Cannibalism was common in different parts of the world. If its say that the concept was more related to the cultural norm or practice, then it is not wrong. In the past, the act ...

Cannibalism was quite common among the early man. The suggested reasons for cannibalism may be to survive starvation especially during the winter seasons or rituals performed by the early man when one of them died. This paper will shed light on prehistoric cannibalism and the disease, which can spread from one person to another because of cannibalism. Evidence that cannibalism prevailed in early man exists in the modern literature. According to the article written by John Roach, modern man contains genetic markers, which are an indicator that early humans were cannibals. Scientist attributes their discovery of genes protecting against ...

Abstract

'Gothic' term represents medieval art that carries a strange history. The style of art developed in Northern France and spread to the rest of Western Europe. Late Gothic art expanded well into the 16th century before getting consumed by the Renaissance art. Gothic period carries splendid examples of sculptures, stained glass, fresco, panel painting, ivories and illuminated manuscripts. The essay offers a perspective on the popularity of Gothic ivories and how they encouraged the devotional practice. The ivory diptychs were used as sophisticated tools and were seen as physical vestiges of the divine. Gothic ivories were the visual cues ...

Cannibals are in a class of their own since even most serial killers only kill their victims but do not feed on their flesh. In the past human beings have been feeding on other persons mostly in war in a belief of gaining the power of their enemy or sometimes to just scare their opponents. Cannibalism didn’t start the other day; it’s a thing of the past, but various human beings do for different reasons. Some do it because they are psychopaths, it is a mental disorder, which could be paranoid schizophrenia as in the case of ...

I would like to see the movie "The Great Gatsby", filmed in 1974 by the director named Jack Clayton from the standpoint of psychoanalysis ("The Great Gatsby (1974)"). I will consider the film through the prism of the basic tenets of the theory, developed by the Austrian neurologist Sigmund Freud. I will make out a few key points that define psychoanalysis as a theory and show how these postulates are related to the main character of the book by Francis Scott Fitzgerald and Jack Clayton’s film, Jay Gatsby. Immediately, it should be noted that this film is not ...

The theme of alienation and resistance permeates throughout Margaret Atwood's dystopian novel The Handmaid’s Tale. Alienation, disillusionment and fear are dominant elements in dystopian societies. In this paper, I seek to make the argument that alienation makes resistance to oppression difficult since individuals are separated from each other and the products that individuals produce. I argue that The Handmaid’s Tale shows how difficult it is for women to wage a successful resistance movement against a male dominated society. Even though Marx did reduce all human relations to means and modes of production, it is important to note ...

Introduction

Sexual behavior and homosexuality are the sensitive issues among other issues in the world of religion. Every society has moral rules that regulate sexual behavior. However, the rules differ from society to society. At times, to its intents and purposes, the rules necessarily and sufficiently need some specific study and comparing for rational precision. At this event, the comparison of the sexual behavior of different societies with the religious beliefs displays some distinctive connection between the social structures and morals. Power argues that the monastic rules served to ensure the proper public performance of monks because it is the ...

Chinese medicine and Chinese philosophy act as a whole. And the name of this whole - Taoism, the way of the Tao.

Next wonderful parable illustrates this approach.

that we can read about in all four Gospels. Despite His grief, Jesus returned from the deserted place and started healing ill people who came a long way on foot from the city in order to see Him and listened to Him. Jesus was very sad because John the Baptist was beheaded by Herod’s order. The disciples took the body, buried it and told Him the terrible news. (Matt. 14:10-14 New King James Version) When the evening came, the apostles asked Jesus to send the multitude away because people were hungry and exhausted and it would take them ...

Testicular cancer is a type of cancer that directly involves the main male reproductive organ, the testes. The testes are basically a loose sack of skin and flesh located below the penis.

There are many theories and research that are in existence which delve in to the cannibalistic behavior among residents of Fiji islands. According to Kathryn Meyers Emery in “The Feast of Men: Cannibalism in Fiji”, understanding the nature of cannibalism is difficult and complex. One of the reasons for this is our own Western ideas and pre-conceived notions about the issue. In the context of Fiji, there are many reasons for the prevalence of cannibalism. Contrary to popular belief cannibalism does not only involve foreigners but also ...

Aztecs` Human Sacrifice as the Example of Cannibalism

Cannibalism is a phenomenon that has always wondered people with its ambiguous nature. Despite the fact that cannibalism is now perceived as a deviation from the norm, yet there is documentary evidence that human flesh eating existed in the past. And now, the only difference is in the explanations that people find to cannibalism. In most cases, people believe that it was either way to survive in conditions of hunger, or a part of the culture and sacrificial rituals of the past. Time goes by and scientists put forward new explanations for this phenomenon. Nevertheless, each person creates his ...

Undeniably, the Vedic philosophy had a tremendous impact on the development of Buddhism. According to the Vedic Hymns, the latter brings enlightenment to challenging life aspects by informing believers of the unknown. For instance, it explains what the purpose of life is, or people’s nature (Vedic Hymns 2).

The attitude towards the movie, directed by Mel Gibson, which has caused quite divergent views before its release on the screens, mainly consists in the two opposite positions. Some believe that the picture of the last twelve hours of Jesus' life is tendentious, reflecting the radical views of an ultra-conservative Catholic, who does not blame exclusively of Jews and Romans in the execution of the Son of God, but is inclined to the idea of ​​antagonism between the priests and the person, who boldly declared himself Messiah and thus encroached on the ecclesiastical authority. Others do not see in ...

Healthcare professionals are often faced with ethical dilemmas as well as questions and if they are inadequately solved, they could jeopardize the quality of health care, professional action or user autonomy (Purtilo & Doherty, 2015). As such, bioethical concerns should be effectively addressed to foster quality healthcare, professional action as well as user autonomy. The refusal of blood transfusions among individuals who practice the Jehovah witness faith is one of the major ethical dilemmas witnessed in healthcare. Inherently, members of the Jehovah witness do not accept blood transfusions based on their religious doctrines (Pozgar, 2014). Essentially, the beliefs of the ...

Faith is a topic of unending debate between opinions of various people. It’s also a bundle of questions and answers; enigmas and mysteries to solve. It’s like a labyrinth of life.

Since the 1970’s, concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) have existed as a more efficient means to grow livestock. These operations have the ability to raise livestock faster than other farming methods.

Article critique

Introduction The body of the male, particularly the body of the white male in the article becomes a vessel of display of explosions, beauty, musculature and physical feats. This is the main direction taken by Susan Jeffords in her article, “Screening the Male”, to explore the theory of masculinity. As implied by Susan, the externality of the male body in itself confirms that the outward parameters of the white male body are primarily focused on the capturing the attention of the audience. Consequently, this present an avenue for exploring the dominance of masculinity in Hollywood cinema in line to ...

The world had always been full of different religious beliefs, because there is probably no universal explanation of the origins of human creation. Since the ancient times, we all needed a symbol of faith and of the existence of the judge, who sees everything, thus, is always eager to price, or to punish. Depending to the extent to which we’ve followed his commandments. The two religions: Islam and Christianity are highly different, and their followers are people, whose worldview differs from the other.

I liked one topic sentence towards the end of the essay, where you aptly set the focus of the paragraph. Consider this: “Another health risk of eating pork meat is due to its association with many epidemic diseases.” Here, you clearly tell the readers what you would discuss in the paragraph, that is, diseases caused due to eating pork. This supports your view/position against eating pork.

Now, let us consider the last sentence of the introduction as the thesis: “To determine that pork is healthy to eat one must examine the different between pork meat and other ...

Question1

An animal is a multi-cellular organism with cells that are not enclosed in a rigid cell wall. Animals differ from other organisms in two major aspects: 1) through the structure of their cell wall and (2) through their feeding habits. For example, unlike other organisms, such as plants, animals do not have a rigid cell wall. Plants on the other hand have a rigid cell wall. In terms of nutrition, animals are heterotrophs because of the way they synthesize organic compounds. Plants, on the other hand, are autotrophs. Plants are classified as autotrophs because they synthesize organic molecules directly using energy from ...

In his main work "City of God", Augustine attempted to understand the fate of humanity and outline his philosophy of history. In this work, he intended to grasp the world-historical process and put the history of humanity in close connection with the plans and intentions of the Deity. According to Augustine, humanity in the historical process forms two 'cities': on the one hand, the secular city- the kingdom of evil, sin, and the kingdom of the devil, and on the other - -the city of God on earth.These two cities created by Augustine, represent two kinds of love: an ...

The subject of disrespect or unfairness is a box of paradoxes. Men rebuking men, men rebuking women, women rebuking men, and women rebuking women have remained an issue in human civilization. Right from the time of the early civilizations, there is enough evidence to show that disrespect of other people in various forms existed, and despite the cry for equality, such disrespect continues unabated. Disrespecting or abusing people in the name of religious or political beliefs, ethnic or racial origin, gender identity, or sexual orientation can be seen in college campuses, and places of work, all around the ...

Perspectives on Marriage

1. Hosea was obsessed on Gomer because of her beauty and obsession cannot be equated to love if it is an attachment to the physical beauty of a person. Hosea’s commitment to Gomer is the kind of love that did not involve sexual intimacy since it was more on how to redeem her and prevent her from becoming a prostitute. The religious significance of Hosea’s commitment to Gomer is based on his sexual desires, but to honor her as a woman and earn her own self-respect.

2. Human love is the most basic sacrament because it is the greatest gift ...

Would you consider Swift’s “A Modest Proposal” to be a literary piece or more directly political in nature and why?

First published in London in 1729, Jonathan Swift’s “A Modest Proposal” is a famous piece of satirical writing which criticizes the attitude of the establishment of England towards Ireland as a whole and in particular to the poor people of Ireland. The history of England’s relationship with Ireland has for centuries been fraught with controversy and frequently marred by violence, even in the modern era. From an Irish point of view, England has been guilty of treating Ireland as a colony and of regarding the Irish themselves with prejudice – because of their ethnicity and because of their adherence ...

THE DEITY AND HUMANITY OF CHRIST

Introduction: A Theological Mystery That Jesus Christ is God and, in the same time, man is an idea many people do not believe in. To some, Christ is just a normal man, who became a great religious leader of Judaism and Christianity. For instance, the heresy of Iconoclasm that started during the Byzantine Empire taught that Christ the God could not depicted, and that the pictures of Christ can only show Jesus the man and so were not suitable objects for faith and worship. To some, God sent His spirit to possess a human being already born on earth. For many ...
