Theological Reflection on Call to Family, Community, and Participation
It is sad that people suffer in the way that they do in Nigeria. I can’t imagine a world where it was unsafe to go to school each day and terrorists rule the country, unofficially. I would be terrified to think that kids my age or younger that went to school could be abducted or even killed by terrorist groups like Boko Haram. We are called by God to have a family, and community and also participate in those groups. Boko Haram is barring people from forming a community through banning social gatherings and attacking schools of innocent children just because they wanted to learn. Churches and church leaders in Nigeria are calling for people to unify and fight against boko

    When giving a speech many speakers use different methods to keep their audience involved and listening. Methods are often used to make the speech easy to focus on. Martin Luther King, Bill Clinton, and George Bush all used the method of “Call to action.” In their speeches Clinton used the method the best. Martin Luther King’s use of “call to action” was seen in paragraph 10 when he said “…Go back to the slums and ghettos of our norther cities knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed.”…

    The article “Miscalculation on Visas Disrupts Lives of Highly Skilled Immigrants” (2015), by Julia Preston, states the State Department and Homeland Security allowed the department to give anticipating immigrants news of them being able to take the next step to obtain a green card. The author provides background information about the situation, along with reasons as to why the incident occurred, and its impact on immigrants. Preston attempts to inform about the episode and provide an explanation to the immigrants involved, through the use of rhetorical appeals. Preston establishes ethos before the article starts, as she is a reporter of a reputable newspaper, which gives her credibility. She starts off her article powerfully by providing context for those who are unaware of the situation; in the beginning of September, the State Department told thousands of highly skilled legal immigrants that they “would be able to advance early to the next step: filing a formal application.”…

    On an allegorical level, “The Prodigal Son” could be implying toward parents that even though your child/children act reckless or disobey, the parents should still be forgiving, understanding, and most of all, loving. “The Prodigal Son” in a biblical sense could be signifying that although humans continue to make mistakes and then ask for forgiveness from God, this shows that God feels the same way the father does; and God will continue to forgive us. God is loving, caring, and understanding toward his creation and even though we repetitively sin, he will continue to forgive us because we are his children. Even right now in this world, he can’t help us directly by taking these diseases away, but he is there for us like a parent and right now,…

    President, I commend you on these matters, and I am not asking for retribution on this matter. I am asking for further, and harsher enforcement on these matters. Don’t be afraid to get tougher, the statistics show it can only get better from here. Should it not boggle the mind that citizens in the USA want rights for someone who we know nothing about, and could possibly hut us.

    The old man, Bramante had said this phrase. I was drawn to this specific phrase because of the fact that it reminded me of our society today. The majority of the citizens in our society are all about money. It’s as if our world revolves around money. Shows that the people in that particular society have a mindset of “you need money for things to happen, your wishes, dreams, desires”…

    Translated from Hausa language to “Western Education is forbidden”, the group refers to itself as “Jama‘atu Ahl as-Sunnah li-Da‘awati wal-Jihad” (JASDJ; Group of the Sunni People for the Calling and Jihad). Controversial origins and grievances, scholars argue that Boko Haram either emerges in the mid- 1990s either in the early 2000s by a small Sunni Islamic Sect. International concerns over Islamic groups operating in northern Nigeria are nothing new, in the mid-1920s under British rules the international community already raised concern about the activities of Tijani missionaries. Even if the interpretation of Islam and use of violence differs from Boko Haram, the causes of these concerns are the same today as they were in the past. Three…
