Perfection

Mathematics is often defined as the science that studies the relations and properties of geometrical figures, symbols and numbers. One of those numbers is Phi, an irrational number also known as the golden ratio, with an approximate value of Φ= 1.618033988749895… Phi has many applications in several fields of study, including natural science. Through this work we will explore different cases in which a relation between the number phi and God can be witnessed, hoping to call the attention of the…

Beauty”, by Lord Byron, the sonnets show the simple beauty of natural humans and how complex it can be. In “She Walks in Beauty”, the woman is analyzed through contradictions from “dark” and “bright”. The sonnet emphasizes on how someone’s beauty is perfection because amongst all the darkness, she still illuminates with her purity. Byron is viewing this woman through exaggeration of unnatural beauty, but somehow her contradicting beauty is natural because of her purity. In “Mutability”, there…

Nonetheless, I find that The Philosopher has sufficiently demonstrated the nature of the Prime Mover as thought and the nature of the content of the Prime Mover’s thought (about-thought-about-thought!); and a key component of this nature is the very perfection and goodness of His thought as connected to His teleological role as the source of all movement. If God is the perfect being whose nature is perfect thinking; and if His very thoughts are the fount of all motion in the universe; then…

view of beauty is that a few men and women see self-body modification as a good thing. In Resisting the Male Gaze…, men and women use body modification to, “...to transform themselves in order to attain a certain state of happiness, purity, wisdom, perfection, or immortality” (Ponterotto, Resisting the Male Gaze…). This is an advantage, because instead of them feeling discouraged about how their bodies look, they use it as a source of happiness to make them feel better about themselves. But in…

The Romantic Period in America started in about 1830, only 50 years after the American Revolution against Britain, and went until 1870. Romantic style of writing blew up in America because many Americans wanted to create their own identity and go away from the European style of writing and their traditions. The Romantic Period consisted of a key element throughout all of the writing styles, and that was using imagination to convey a message in an abnormal way. Romanticized is defined as to ‘deal…

Jainism is the belief that humans are imperfect. A human must control their thoughts and all of their senses. If this is done a person can attain perfection, freedom, and happiness. Buddhism’s central view is that humans create their own suffering, and by understanding this we can truly be free from the suffering. A Buddhist must take responsibility for their own happiness and their liberation. These two religions have some similarities and differences. They both have a central teacher that was…

Imagine being put on an underdeveloped, uncivilized island where there is no television, no Internet, and no link to the outside world. All of the information obtained is through the people in the small, island community. The idea of “perfect” and “beautiful” does not play a factor in the minds of the young people through any social media and is collected through firsthand experiences. This was actually the setting for a study done in May of 1999. The idea of “beauty” on the island of Fiji was…

Examples can be seen everywhere, including books, movies, textbooks, and people from everyday life. They can be seen in The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, where Hester Prynne and Arthur Dimmesdale act as near-opposite examples for the Puritan society. They are seen in racial stereotyping in today’s society, in which people from the same race or religion are held to the same standards as another that they may differ completely from. Positive examples are often also seen; many people act…

entirety, but when does the reader stop to think that the fault could have been something bigger: the fault of the society that presented itself to be perfect. In the twenties, everyone saw perfection, inside and outside of America, when they looked at the U.S., but once one dug into the truth of the country, the perfection of the decade was a façade to show that even things that look perfect can be the most broken, which is what Fitzgerald portrayed in his novel. In a world where blame is…

live in perfection in a sinless place for as long as they did. They had no worries; they just had to maintain a routine of their everyday work and instructions to continue in obedience. As long as they were obedient, their world would continue to be impeccably perfect-- just as God had designed it to be. Because God is “omniscient”(10.7), He knows every detail, he is everywhere all the time, and he knows every thing about the past and future. He created everything to exist in perfection, so…
