    Hirschmann And Wilson Analysis

    I chose to write about the queer theologians, Jo Hirschmann and Elizabeth Wilson, because I appreciate their emphasis on the importance of intersectionality and moving beyond “identity politics.” As someone who was raised in a Christian household, I find their perspective from the viewpoint of Jewish theologians very interesting, but I think their main ideas can be applied to any religion or faith. Their piece from Queer Jews, “Next Year in Freedom! Taking Our Seder to the Streets”, aligned with many of my personal beliefs, but they also challenged and contradicted some of my opinions. In this essay, I will analyze the writing and beliefs of Hirschmann and Wilson.…

    Raymond Carver The Cathedral Analysis

    When a coin is tossed into the air one can never accurately predict which side will show its face, we can make predictions and assumptions of the altitude it shall rotate and change its fate but we will never truly know until it lands. This reminds me of the unpredictable reactions in human beings when a difficult situation bares its ugly head. Delve closer on a psychological view and we will see the relationship that the brain has with one’s self, communicating by sending out chemical information from one neuron or nerve cell to another; allowing daily functions such as generating movement, speaking, listening, regulating the systems of the body, thinking and most importantly in this argument; feeling. Sure you can say certain situations evoke selected emotions, emotions enable us to react to situations whether it be with anger, fear, happiness, jealousy and so on but as an…

    Discrimination In The Life Of Medgar Evers

    “Let no man pull you so low as to hate him” -Martin Luther King Jr. To quote the Merriam-Webster dictionary, hatred is a strong feeling of dislike. During the 1960’s in southern United States and other parts of the world, a lot of hate had been generated which was directed towards black people because of their skin colour and heritage. Many people and activists, including Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr. and Medgar Evers were confronted with hate because they were coloured people living in a racially segregated community. Though white people and a few black people discouraged Medgar Evers and did not believe in him, he still wanted to make a possible change in the world which would create a difference for coloured people so they would be…

    I saw a Youtube video about a dog infested with mango worms, and I was disgusted. I could not look away as the vet squeezed the dog’s skin, making the worms pop out. I could think of only one word to describe what was left in the dog’s skin as the worms left: orifices. I never thought that I could hate a word, but it turns out I was wrong. I absolutely hate the word “orifices.”…

    Fear In Oedipus Caribbe's Things Fall Apart

    The characters’ fears all rest upon a single idea: the unknown. All three stories depict characters that find themselves fearful of things that they aren’t familiar with, things that are outside of their comfort zone. The first character, Cable, acknowledges a very common fear: the fear of death. For many people, death is the ultimate unknown and Cable portrays this concept in an almost literal sense as he retells his story of approaching the mortuary: “I was apprehensive as I climbed the stone steps to the entrance. I feared rejection or, worse, an invitation to come and stay” (64).…

    Pre-Meditated Karma

    Pre-Meditated Karma- Similarly, a righteous man while performing oblations if contemplates over the helpless spirits and selflessly offers prayers for them then that is pre-meditated karma. Desired Karma- If any karma is done with a desire of acquiring a particular status or object then that is desired karma. But let us look at the vast scope of earning virtue every day, while performing our daily oblatory- offering for the forefathers one could also dedicate some of those oblations for the spirits, or else if a person daily chants the Gayatri- mantra for his soul’s upliftment then, some of those mantras could be intended for the spirits around, or else at least once a year or once in a month similar kind of offerings could be made, for the spirits who irrespective of their habitations receive the virtuous-result of the oblations.…
