The 13th Amendment was established on December 6,1865. It “abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime.” The 13th Amendment was especially important around that time. There was slavery and judgmental treatment towards African Americans. Texas was a slave state, so when slavery was banned it changed everything for Texas.…
“Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” During the Great Awakening, Johnathan Edwards rose greatly in popularity due to his powerful and menacing sermons that shook audiences and provided new views on the Christian religion. His most famous sermon, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” expresses his belief that God is spiteful and full of rage, and will condemn any sinners to an eternal torture in hell. He depicts God as solely torturous and wanting only to punish those who have done wrong, thus appealing to fear and providing motivation to escape the wraths of God’s persecution by finding new faith in Christianity. This method of focusing on punishment and then subsequent ways to escape it while inciting fear is unnecessary and wrong in its…

In one of his sermons called, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," Edwards uses fear to show how hell is a real place to his congregation.

The question of whether or not a fear of death is rational is the crux of Jeffrie Murphy’s article Rationality and the Fear of Death in which he sets out to argue that it is irrational to fear death and concludes that a fear of death is on the one hand rational if it helps the person live a meaningful life and on the other hand irrational when it has no real purpose in helping one live the way he wishes to. Murphy’s conclusion however leaves much to be desired about where one draws the line between a fear of death aiding in the quality of one’s life versus an irrational fear of death that in a sense drives one away from living. I plan on trying to define where this line can be drawn in reference to Murphy’s conclusion, as well as arguing further…
Fear specifically is defined as an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat. Throughout the history of man, fear has remarkably had a prominent effect on the actions of many: used by dictators as a tactic to control, used in politics and religion to manipulate people’s positions. Fear materializes to the world in many forms; basic fears akin to those of spiders or heights, to more complex fears that are deep-rooted, like the fear of rejection or disappointment. Fear is an extensive part of life that has held a grip on people for many centuries in the past, and will for the many centuries to go. Identical to politics, entertainment platforms have manipulated fear to captivate…
Many times when you are scared, your imagination comes up with many reasons and excuses. You get scared and you don’t have time to actually think of any logical reasons and you can create a whole different situation than what actually…
Tragedy can strike at any moment. That is what the many insurance commercials say. If tragedy strikes, the victim is not automatically considered a tragic character though, at least not in the classic sense. Aristotle put forth a notion that a tragic hero must possess three characteristics, and Oedipus, being a person of high estate, acquainted with hamartia, and falling from his position and happiness would easily be considered an Aristotelian tragic hero.…
So do you think this is why they think Friday the 13th is so bad? In 1939, a small town in Indiana forced all black cats to wear bells on Friday, October 13. When the measure seemed to work (nothing bad happened), the town continued the practice for the next three years. Wall Street has fostered a fear of Friday the 13th for decades.…
From the short story, Twelve and not stupid I have learned something about honesty. Honesty is very important in our life and the situation that happened to the girl when she misunderstands about the honesty of her father’s also need to lie to her mother about her father makes she feels guilty. In our life, we also need, to tell the real situation even it will hurt and we need to not be judgmental in things that not sure. In addition, sometimes we have to think before we speak because every word that comes out of our mouth can be weapons towards another person. Honesty also defines how's the attitude of a person and it can make people either hates or loves us.…
The effect of using alliteration in the sermon is that it allows the reader to focus on these particular words and the same time making it more memorable. However, there are some terms that Edwards repeats several of times in the sermon. He writes the term “hell” several times throughout his sermon. For example, “There is no want of power in God to cast wicked men into hell at any moment.”…
Crossing several different boundaries in the human experience, religion is notoriously difficult to define. Still, many attempts have been made, and while every theory has its limitations, each perspective has contributed to our current understanding of this complex phenomenon. We can now identify several of the characteristic elements that religion consists of. To followers, religion is a way of life guiding thinking, feeling, and acting. It usually provides something or someone requiring devotion.…
