definition about spirituality, I was surprised to find out my classmates are highly in agreement. We agreed that spirituality covers pure, authentic, transcendent, personal, connection etc. People who are truly spiritual for me are those who have peace with nature…
Teen Titans In the world, people are often confronted with different problems. Each individual, however, chooses to either disregard those problems and leave them for others to deal with or take initiative to positively influence his or her community and others’ communities. Those who decide to wake up and make a difference for good in the world are called activists, but some are young teenagers still growing in their youth. Particularly, three teens, Malala Yousafzai, Alex Lin, and Iqbal Masih,…
for what they believe in. A hero is someone who is selfless, thinks of others before himself, and has made a significant impact in history. These individuals perform extraordinary deeds, and make sacrifices for others. Most heroes believe that the world can always be changed for the better. An example of a great hero is “Pele” Edson Arantes do Nascimento, an inspirational and professional soccer player. Pele was born on October 23, 1940, in Tres Coracoes, Brazil. His father was a soccer player…
Is a faultless world precisely what everyone desires? Or is it all not what is adds up to be. The state of the world is closer to being a dystopian society rather than a utopian society. More wars, more sickness and more ignorance is occurring all across the world. In a utopian society all those problems would seem to disappear and be left with a flawless world. But is it really that easy? War has been around in the world for centuries and there is no foreseen stopping anytime soon. Wars…
distinction between human senses and reality became clearer. John Donne’s Good Morrow, as well as Margaret Cavendish’s book, The Blazing World, both, discuss nature through battles between reality and the wild perceptions of humans. The Good Morrow demonstrates the human perception of the world through the imaginary telescope of love and sex. The Blazing World demonstrates the struggle to revolutionize scientific methods with particularly the invention of a physical telescope, against remediate…
that the most powerful king will leave the old capital and construct a new one. Moving the capital, which is often a symbol of historical pride and cultural heritage was an important manifestation of the policy of escaping from the volatile outside world and preserving their own cultural identity. Even the Khmer Rouge, former rulers of today’s Cambodia from 1975 to 1989, who nearly succeeded in ridding the state in its entirely of its monastic institutions and religious heritage, maintained the…
If all were right in the world, we would be at peace. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. Everyone has struggles to face such as, racism, judgement, conflict with understanding society, etc. Those who don’t understand the concept of this because they don’t view the world with so much judgement, but instead with the hope of everyone being good. Our innocence can blind us from seeing how people really are. Many people, mainly children, are blind to what the world is really like. Jem Finch is…
the reality that was served from that day. Memories of indulging foods, and activities that made me feel pleasant for slightest are taken into criticism of how i spent that time enjoying it. But no matter how hard i try to take my mind at ease, the world kept turning, and i had to take it in. During my travel to mexico, i realized that i've been taking these trips for granted for all of these past years i went. When i was younger, i always…
In Civil Peace, we see a man who has lost all materialistic items and a son. We see how war has affected his country and how totally damaged everything is. You’d think that this man, Jonathan, would be bitter. You’d think that he’d be angry at the world, but the opposite is actually what happens. He praises God every time something “good” happens. For example, he finds his house still standing, but with the windows shattered and roof falling apart. Instead of wishing that it could’ve been a…
entered the end of the postmodern age where truth is replaced with emotion. If something so small as a criticism of one’s hands or fingers can send Trump into a never-ending obsessive tirade, what would happen if genuine Christians throughout the world went on a relentless campaign targeting Donald Trump as Satan incarnate? Again, consider his past reactions to trivial comments while imagining his response an international group of thousands, even millions, of people calling him, The Antichrist…
