1969 was a year with a distinct economic, social, political, and intellectual atmosphere. After the end of World War II in 1945, the US experienced great economic prosperity lasting until the 1970s where sound employment could be obtained relatively easily for both skilled and unskilled work. The affluence this created also caused a baby boom where birth rates temporarily increased, and in 1969, many of those born in the baby boom now made up 8 million young adults going though college. This…

yeah, I can complain, and iddlI can point fingers, but I'm not good at railing against things effectively. I'm much better at talking about the things that make me happy. When I start focusing on the negatives too much, I tend to swerve headfirst into them, and then I miss all of the good stuff. This doesn't stop me from cursing things that are terrible, it's just that I don't know how to fix the bad, so I focus on making the good.…

just scratching the surface of possibilities. It’s not a smug cocky thing. Nor is it about being arrogant/cocky. Poppie believes that “if you truly work hard, if you stay diligent, if you believe in yourself” that in America you are afforded an opportunity to do just about anything you can…

Most people would agree that the good or what is morally right is always more ideal than the bad or evil approach, however, in some cases, the bad approach can be more likeable than the good. In Italo Calvino’s The Cloven Viscount, the idea of “do you prefer the good or bad side” becomes a significant part of the novel as it is constantly portrayed through the protagonist, Viscount Medardo of Terralba. The story begins with Medardo splitting into two half by cannonball; the bad half luckily…

What started as a short story written for a Harvard writing class, life mirrored art ever so slightly for Matt Damon when he wrote Good Will Hunting—earning an A for his work on the assignment and an Oscar for his work on the screenplay for the film. The two childhood friends from the south side of Boston, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, wrote a script together that some might say is the greatest piece of writing ever done for a film. The two of them sold the script and turned it into a movie that…

gift of free will. The ability to choose either to do good or to do bad. This may seem a bit over simplistic, but ultimately, in life, this is what it boils down to. We can either behave in a manner that brings both glory and honor to the Creator or we can act in accordance to our own selfishness seeking instead to place our lives above Him. Once Adam and Eve made the significant decision to defy God by eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil His once perfect creation was tainted.…

asks the Reb why he has so many files, and he spots a file named God and asks the Reb about it. The House of Peace, when Covington was 10 years old, he accepts Jesus as his savior for the first time. In The Daily Grind of Faith, Albom describes how good Albert Lewis was when it came to preaching and how he become a Reb. In Ritual, the author talks about how Albert Lewis wants to keep his traditions to feel connected with the past generations and future generations. In The End of Spring, Albom…

Just because we have “Free-Will” and the idea that “Free-Will” is good for us, it does not mean that we should have limitless “Free-Will.” With our “Free-Will”, we have the choice to intervene to protect others from harm. Hopefully we do, but we have the choice to help or not, and this seems poised for allowing evil…

theist perspective being God is a benevolent, omnipotent identity who is good and thus worthy of worship, or being displayed as liabilities by the atheist perspective where it attempts to dissect that ideal character projected onto God. Through deductive reasoning and philosophical endeavor, more objective concepts can be obtained beyond the experiences of suffering and of pleasure, where the discussion alludes to the nature of good, evil, and eventually, a conversation of God’s possible nature.…
