Is There Rigid Structure To The Laments of Psalms? "Awake! Why are you sleeping, O Lord? Rouse yourself! Do not reject us forever! Why do you hide your face? Why do you forget our affliction and oppression?" (Psalms 44:23-24 ESV). If many of us have been taught by our parents to put on a happy face, to let a smile be our umbrella, or to keep our complaints to ourselves, then the Old Testament offers a corrective to these teachings in the Psalms of lament. Matthew Schlimm believes that we…

In addressing this question, I shall concentrate on politically engaged artistic practice in the form of photography, street art, and installation art. It is the artistic techniques that these artists behold and present to us that makes us react and respond to them and what they…

protect his race, and the idea of being nonviolent only with those who are nonviolent (and vice versa) came from the religious ideology he followed (X, “The Ballot or the Bullet,” 1965, 34). Nevertheless, Malcolm admitted that the Muslim world really altered his way of thinking and stopped him from making harsh generalizations on white men.

Elizabeth Hutchen, in Dimensions of Human Behavior, states that, “Most biological systems reach their peak performance in the mid-20s” (336). Let’s say the average American’s life span lasts until about 80. This means that we spend 2/3 of our lives “biologically declining”. To not incorporate death into…

challenged the prevailing definition of woman in American society, especially in relation to motherhood and sexuality and they are all the pioneers to expose sexism and sexist violence in their own communities.
