A reciprocating engine would have cylinders, pistons, crankshaft, rods, valves and spark plugs. The up-down motion of the engine transfers the movement or the energy to the propeller through the connected shaft, cam and the rods. This is a basic functioning of a reciprocating engine used in aircraft, and its power is measured in horsepower. One horsepower is equivalent to the power of lifting 33,000 pounds ...

Throughout the storied historical ethnic relations and the Black culture in the United States, the name Jezebel has carried a heavy burden of antiquity. The stereotype existed and still does allowing African American women to be viewed as promiscuous and sexual beings. During slavery, the Black females worked in the fields almost half-naked conforming to the request of their masters. The conditions led to a series of rapes that were blamed on the African American women for being promiscuous rather than criticizing the orders of the White slave owners. In a seeming manner, Olivia Pope exhibits characteristics of Jezebel ...

The Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment are best understood as conflicts between faith and reason. This statement is accurate because this time period began the separation of church and state and opened the floodgates for science to begin to become more important in society in the future. While it took some time for science and religion to completely separate, and it did not happen until much later, the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment were extremely important because they created the conflict in the first place. While this time did not completely separate reason and faith, it began to encourage people ...

The Book of Revelation has yielded different interpretive possibilities for just about as long as there have been theologians around to read and explain it. This is a book that is filled with mysteries, whether it is the identity of the four apocalyptic horsemen who are supposed to usher in the judgment of God, the timing of the rising of people from the dead for that judgment, and whether Jesus Christ returns before the tribulation of the believers or after -- or whether the 1,000-year reign that the book discusses is literal or figurative in nature. After all, ...

Debates concerning the use of marijuana as a medicinal treatment have been ongoing for decades, and have sparked more than a few concerns that have to do with its applications. Those who argue for the use of the drug are typically of the mind that marijuana does far more good than harm, citing research that leans more towards the benefits stemming from its use a pain reliever. On the other side, those who argue vehemently against the drug do so for the same reason, bringing up studies and, at times, propaganda that incites viewers to realize just what cost ...

The benefits of the crusades vs. the benefits of the current terrorist group (ISIS)

Introduction Since the medieval ages, religion has been used to spread acts of narrow-mindedness against others. From the time of the Christian inquisitions and crusades to the current Islamic jihadism and terrorism, this fundamentalist attitude has caused the death of many. At its root, is the selfishness and ambition for power and wealth that rules the hearts of men. Religious organizations are responsible for establishing the moral fiber in the society. They undertake this duty by selling the concept of ‘salvation’. In return, they obtain rent in the form of tithes in order to intercede on behalf of individuals ...

The Black Death: Europe's Most Notorious Plague

In the mid-14th century, Europe enjoyed robust trade with the Near East and the Far East. By the 1340s, sea trade routes had been established with faraway countries such as Syria, Egypt, Persia, China, and India (history.com, internet). Due to their trading interconnectedness, European port cities such as Messina (Sicily), Rome, Florence, Marseilles, and even the north African port of Tunis, were struck by what soon became known as "The Black Death" -- the plague (history.com, internet). Because of the confluence of factors that caused the rapid spread of The Black Death throughout an entire continent, and its high ...

Martin Luther was born in Germany in a town called Eisleben. He studied to become a lawyer according to his father’s wishes. In 1507, Martin Luther was ordained as a priest. Between the years of 1513 to 1517, Martin Luther studies several books of the bible and he acknowledges that faith was a gift from God. In 1516, martin criticized Pope Leo X for selling indulgences. This motivated Martin Luther to write a letter to the Archbishop of Mainz in Germany. The letter was later referred to as The 95 Theses. This letter made the catholic clergy ...

Philosophy

In 1517, Martin Luther posted his “The Ninety-Five Thesis” at Wittenberg. It is a protest, especially, against the sale of indulgences for the remission of sins – whether here on earth or in the purgatory. God alone grants forgiveness to a person who made a genuine contrition. I disagree with Luther’s Theses on three (3) grounds.

First, it seems contrary to logic that Luther defied Catholic doctrines (Theses 7ff), which he himself tried to embrace. He believed in the papacy, priests, and most Catholic teachings, except of course, on grounds different from his own observation and knowledge. As evidence of Luther’ ...

Antoine Fuqua’s King Arthur (2004) Versus the Lancelyn Green’s King Arthur (1953)

In this paper, it will be shown that the 2004 film version of King Arthur is not an historical retelling, nor does it capture the real belief systems of a Sixth Century king. Clive Owens stars as King Arthur in the 2004 Hollywood version directed by Antoine Fuqua.

Introduction

Medieval period is not a new term, and it frequently appears in the history classes and is mainly used to point out that period in history characterized by the commencing of the renaissance period, in the fourteenth century. Moreover, many scholars refer to this period as the middle ages and sometimes the dark ages. This period also denotes the beginning of the fall of the Roman Empire, about 476 CE. This period implies that the society that the people were living in the fifteenth century was more civilized and significant than the previous civilizations that have ever existed for thousands ...

In this paperwork, I am going to discuss about Rerum Novarum, especially its treatment of socialism and capitalism. According to the reading, it is depicted that the majority of the working class continue to live in misery. The socialists, attempts to bring to an end to these wrongs, are striving to implement a strategy that will abolish the ownership of private property. The socialists argue that the private belongings should become the universal possessions for the entire group of people. It would, therefore, ensure a fair share for each person to take pleasure in, hence bringing to an end of the numerous suffering that exists between the rich and the poor. The properties should, therefore, be controlled by civic ...

The important concepts of law and justice are necessary foundations that lend legitimacy to a state, in particular and to a society and/or a civilization, in general. Owing to the intrinsic differences in social organizations the concepts of law and justice have varied definitions and approaches in the West and the East. A valid comparison of the Western and the Eastern approaches to these concepts make the comparisons and the contrasts extremely enlightening (Nov 17).

The Western legal culture primarily evolved from the Judeo-Christian sacred texts, the Greek philosophy and logic, and the Germanic-tribal or folk (law) traditions. After 380 AD ...

Lumen Gentium is the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, as promulgated by the Second Vatican Council, about half a century ago, in 1964 (Weinandy). According to Lumen Gentium Jesus has shared his threefold office, that of Priest, King and Prophet, with the Church and Catholic lay men and women, once the latter get baptized and confirmed (Weinandy). Taking into account that Jesus sanctifies, governs and teaches, one can understand the perceived role of priests, kings and prophets respectively. Analyzing Jesus’ threefold offices, the role of each will become apparent.

HUM1500 W3 Discussion Question: What major world events contributed to the founding of Rome? & What was significant about the Roman government that allowed it to flourish?

One of the major events that contributed to the founding of Rome is through a mythological account. In 753, Rome was named after its founder – Romulus, a historical figure that killed his half-god twin Remus . During the time of Romulus, the place has little interruptions.

While the proportion of the total GDP spent on healthcare is extraordinarily high the quality of actual care provided is relatively low (2010). In order, to decrease the gap between money spent and quality of care provided, insurance companies and employers in the United States and Europe have adopted a health care provider reimbursement method known as pay for performance.

Several institutions developed in both France and England in the 13 and 14th century and these institutions were behind the civilization of western countries. The first institution was the church. Many crusades were made in these countries facilitating the spread of Christianity. When church became an institution in these countries, leadership became a major issue and specifically the catholic leaders became too much involved in political affairs. They controlled monarchy in England that had a lot of power (Noble, 156).

Schools are some of the other institutions that were very important during the period. Many people got their education during the ...

Part I

While Child Protective Services might find the dance that unfolds in Roethke’s “My Papa’s Waltz” to be a bit unsightly, it is clearly an event that the little boy enjoys, finding it a moment of bonding with his father. The fact that the boy’s “mother’s countenance/Could not unfrown itself”(Roethke 7-8) suggests that she disapproves of the father drinking. Indeed, the father has had more than a couple of shots, as the mere smell of it on his father’s breath turns the boy dizzy. This use of alcohol may well be just a form of solace after a long ...

Ethical considerations hold the key to effective and meaningful recovery of a patient from all his/her illness with dignity. Failure to adhere to these ethical practices by the medical practitioners and therapists will not only throw away peoples trust on them, but also create a legal tussle between the two groups, further worsening the situation. In light of the two professional settings (Psychiatric Hospital and Children Psychotherapy), ethical boundary considerations resonates around two crucial parameters; informed consent and Confidentiality (Pope, & Vasquez, 2011). In deed, these are the key to mutual respect and understanding between the doctor and the patient.

Abstract

Grey areas in ethics inevitably occur for therapists during the course of treating many different patients. The advent of new technology poses situations for therapists that offer challenges to issues of informed consent and confidentiality. The American Psychological Association’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct can provide guidance to therapists in dealing with the grey areas in ethics.

Informed Consent and Confidentiality:

A patient of Dr. Walker, Tami, is in treatment for substance abuse as well as other problems. She is going away with her family on vacation for a month, and asks Dr. Walker if she can continue her therapy ...

Having read this post regarding informed consent and confidentiality, the author has mentioned two grey areas regarding the topic. The first grey area mentioned is the issue of clients and therapists not thoroughly reviewing and ensuring a cooperative understanding of a consent form, especially when language barriers are involved. The second grey area discussed is a client’s lack of understanding of the limits of confidentiality, especially when it comes to issues involving abuse or harm to others.

These are both important issues to consider, but rather than mention them as two separate grey areas, consider how these issues are directly related. ...

There are many churches around the globe which is dedicated to an image of the Blessed Virgin Mary and each varies from their foreign counterparts. The Basilica of Our Lady of Peace of Yamoussoukro is one of these churches and gained both praise and scrutiny from its construction.

The process of Galileo - inquisitorial trial of 70-year-old physicist and astronomer Galileo, held in 1633 in Rome. Galileo was accused of supporting the banned public heliocentric system of Copernicus, which the Catholic Church has earlier condemned as heretical doctrine (1616). As a result of the process, despite the agreement to renounce Copernicanism and repent, Galileo was sentenced to life in prison, which was soon changed to the house arrest and lifetime supervision of the Inquisition. “Galileo process subsequently became a symbol of the confrontation between science and religion - or, more generally, freedom of thought and dogmatic (political or ...

The poem introduces three characters: the father, the mother and the author. It seems to me that the author is a little boy, a boy being punished, perhaps for no or very little reason, by his father. Although the poem is called “Papa’s Waltz”, the dance that we observe vaguely remind of this graceful, peaceful and enjoyable dance. The couple – papa and his son - dance together with little harmony. The father is obviously dominating and taking the leading role. The dance looses all the pleasure for the little boy and all that is left is to follow blindly. The ...

The Holy Crusades were a series of nine major military campaigns led by Roman Catholic Church to take back Jerusalem from Muslims. Religion played a much larger part of everyday life in the time of the crusades, so it is difficult for modern people to truly understand the motives of people involved in the crusades. While the crusades did seem to be fought generally in the name of God, it appears many people involved in the crusades fought more out of self-interest rather than some deep religious devotion. The Holy Crusades were not very holy. Evidence suggests that one of ...

Religion has been seen as disempowered and in decrease in the cutting edge world, its implications no more applicable inside the overwhelming mainstream perspective and institutional temples losing control of social life to common bodies (i.e., secularization, privatization). However religion (or secularization) may not be so static or bound together a marvel as awhile ago thought (this may be an outcome of advanced Western inclination, as, for instance, Talal Asad contends; of the (liberal) separation of social order, dividing the religious and the common, characterizing the previous as bound together conventions concerned with profound, private convictions, not handy, open issues). ...

In the many developments that are taking place in the religious world, ecumenism is one of the most significant of them all. Church leaders are coming together with common goals that enable them to best serve and worship God, among other many activities. The main goal of contemporary ecumenism has been for all the Christians in the world to be brought together into unity amidst diverse and pluralistic expressions of the faith. This interdenominational union is rooted in the belief that all Christians are bound together by Christ and His existence should not be the cause of division and ...

Life-saving and postponing a patient’s death is a doctor’s main obligation and, undoubtedly, in most cases, the decisions that doctors make definitely make a difference to the outcome of a patient’s condition. Upon graduation, each doctor takes the Hippocratic Oath, which states that a doctor’s role is to practice medicine with honesty, give no deadly medicine, and use their best ability and judgment, when treating a patient, among others. However, there are times when a doctor is unable to help save a patient’s life resulting in the death of the patient. Doctors should not be blamed for failing to save patients’ lives, ...
