Seven Points To Keep In Mind Analysis

In both articles there are some words that are a lie. All I know is that she would give out marriage licenses to same sex couples, but she said as long as her name is not in the document is okay. The ones she gave out in the license it said “pursuant to federal” not her name which is weird. The two articles that we read, “The Pope and Kim Davis: Seven Points to Keep in Mind” by James Martin, SJ and “How Pope Francis Undermined the Goodwill of His Trip and Proved to Be a Coward” by Michelangelo Signorile are mostly on logos and pathos. The only reason I think it’s based on that is because it express emotion and logic.
For an example, Pope Francis told Kim Davis to “stay strong” after having a secretly meeting with her. But when the Pope met Kim Davis secretly

We just don’t know. Rather than stopping it he welcomed with his arms open. (Pathos) Like this sentence “I do not deny that the meeting took place, but have no other comments to add.”(Ethos) To me it sounds like something else occur but doesn’t want to tell us the truth. I read other articles that said Kim Davis spent five days in jail because she defied a court order and told the judges of what she planned. Later on they found that she had three husbands, four marriages, and two children. And she believes in same sex marriage. Plus they can’t tolerate Christianity. Some are not okay of what she’s fighting for but Pope Francis is mostly going to help her.
“Meeting with the Pope does not kind of validate everything” it just explains everything. (Logos) Pope Francis also met with other people like Mark Wahlberg, Norma and Mary and so forth. And they said it was a great honor meeting with the Pope. (Ethos) The article of Kim Davis: Seven Points to Keep in Mind where it says about Vatican, Pope Francis did not express any view. However, just to make it clear Pope was just being nice of meeting Kim

    Kim Davis, a Kentucky county clerk, was jailed for contempt when she refused to honor the Supreme Court’s order to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Given John Locke’s beliefs regarding the necessary separation of church and state as detailed in A Letter Concerning Toleration, he would agree that Kim Davis was lawfully jailed for her actions in contempt of the Supreme Court decision. It is first necessary to realize that Locke would believe Davis acted unlawfully. He believes in the separation of church and state, i.e. that the Church has no civil authority (Locke, 33), and would find that Davis’s position within the government did not authorize her to interpret the law on behalf of her religion. Not only did Davis have no authority…

    The entire Angela Davis lecture was phenomenal. She discussed so many topics and interacted with the audience, which turned the lecture into a fun experience and not only informative but also very entertaining to listen to and watch. I would grade the lecture with an A. I love how she related everything from the past to present because in reality not much has changed when it comes to racism and slavery and the challenges we face as not only African American but also being an African American woman. One of my favorite parts was how she ended the lecture with a question and answer portion and how many of the students were not afraid to ask very challenging questions and of course her response was just as in depth.…

    I believe that Kim Davis has every right to express her opinions and feelings when it comes to religion. However, denying a legal couple to get married crosses the line, and violates the couples rights. Sure, it means going against Davis's beliefs, but issuing marriage licenses to legal couples is what she is paid to do. In my opinion Davis should be let go of her job for putting personal issues before her job. If Davis doesn't like how the country is affecting her religion, she could do what everyone else has done in the past, move to a new place that doesn't affect your religion.…

    There are many MESSAGES that an individual can analyze from “A Stroke of Insight”. For example, Jill speaks about how her spirit could “soar free” during her stroke and that she found nirvana. The fact that Jill nearly died and she could find nirvana or peace within herself, means that anyone is fully capable of finding peace within themselves. In addition, if Jill can find something positive in something as frightening as a stroke, we can find the positive in any situation. The RECEIVER of the message was the audience that watches her speak.…
