3:1 the serpent states “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden?” It appears the serpent is questioning and contradicting God’s directions. In addition the serpent’s fallowing statement is perceived as God holding out on Adam and Eve. In Genesis 3:1 the serpent claims “God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, Knowing good and evil.” This gives Eve the impression that having her eyes open to good and evil is abundant…

to better infant industries. Adam Smith, who was a physiocrat and key figure in the Scottish Enlightenment, wrote his most famous work, “The Wealth of Nations.” A few years later, Alexander Hamilton was appointed the Secretary of…

can find the story of Adam and Eve. Adam was the first man that God created by God, and he had a special place in God’s heart. He was created in the likeness of God himself. God planted a beautiful garden, the Garden of Eden. It had beautiful trees with all kinds of amazing delicious fruits, everything a person would ever desire to eat. Growing in the middle of the garden was the "tree of life" and the "tree of the knowledge of good and evil." Then, the Lord God placed Adam in the Garden of…

criticized epic poem is Milton’s Paradise Lost. A retelling of the old testament story of Adam and Eve, but mostly from the point of view of Satan and God is one of the most dangerous and brilliant things Milton could have done. The fall of Satan and man has only ever been seen from an omniscient point of view, allowing for Milton to captivate and encompass his readers. There are a lot of different ways this…

regularly listen to their live albums. One concert I would have loved to have attended was in Paris, France in 1994 at Élysée Montmartre (Fitzairn). As a fan, I would say the one of the best part of the Counting Crows are that they experiment lyrically. Adam Duritz, the lead singer, always appears as he is letting the music and the emotions of the crowd decide what lyrics flow out of him. If you enjoy singing along with your favorite song you will probably be out of luck. You just have to…

of 1800 between Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. Larson does an amazing job when he goes into great detail about each candidate’s personality because although at this time, men did not openly campaign, they did “go after” each other viciously. Meaning, although the candidates did not go around state to state clearly declaring their goals and ideas for their presidency, they did bash each other severely just like in politics today. For instance, John Adams was known for being confrontational and…

The physiocrats were a group of French economists whose ideas were developed in the wake of the economic and social disorder that was, at least partially, due to the effects of mercantilist policies (Huh, 2016). Physiocratic thinkers such as John Law, Richard Cantillion, and perhaps most notably, Francois Quesnay made lasting impressions on economic thought and were instrumental in establishing the idea of the free market. Unlike the mercantilists, the physiocrats largely believed that the…

In the beginning was Creation and then the Fall. Man, woman and all living things. Then there was deception and sin. We are all born free of sin. Sin is a part of life, as is the choice to make a sound and righteous decision. God has given us all these things to survive and be one with him in a relationship that is fulfilling like no other relationship. It is up to us as humans to make the decisions and work toward that acknowledgement from God, well done. Genesis two tells us in detail how God…

the benefit fades away. There are more negative consequences of division labor and capitalism than you think. This essay will analyze all the negative consequences of the division and labor and capitalism arguments by Smith, Marx, and Durkheim. In Adam Smith’s book “An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations” Smiths argue that the division labor destroys “intellectual social and martial virtues”. Smith also argued that capitalism is a free market of trade, governed based on…

The history of the United States is a complex one, filled with unique characters, remarkable feats of failures and successes, and a desire for freedom since the beginning of its existence. The time after the American Revolution, the beginning of a free nation and its independence, is beautifully captured through the collaboration of stories known as Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation by Joseph Ellis. While Ellis didn’t have a distinct one-sentence thesis, he most definitely had an…
