Judaism. However, there are religions which completely bar the use of vaccines. Mary Holland, while testifying against West Virginia's vaccination mandates, frames the argument as thus: "Religious organizations including Christian Scientists, the Amish and Seventh Day Adventists believe that to vaccinate is to defile the temple of the body that God has bestowed. For these believers, to compel vaccination is in effect to bar them from participation in this community." This argument especially…

Institutionalization of Innate Desires Ever since the dawn of time, humans have possessed the desire to learn and understand the world at a much higher degree than other animals. We have been able to store knowledge through writing, allowing progress to flourish. Understanding the world became accessible to those who crave to know, and who had the wealth at their disposal to afford being taught. However, the modern era gave rise to a new form of teaching. One that impinges upon all…

Religion plays a huge role in our daily lives. Rather your religious practice is Judaism, Christianity, Amish, Buddhism, Hinduism, atheism, etc., religion seems to shape minds and have a part of every society. “Over the past 100,000 years, no group of people anywhere on earth have been found that did not practice some type of religion (Haviland, 2011)” In researching religion, I’ve found that most religions work towards positive change within its members, in return brings positive change in…

kids used to run through the streets playing with their friends but with cars everywhere, kids have to take much more precautious actions. Eric Brende describes his technology filled life and how he and his wife make the decision to go live with an Amish community with no electricity for a year in hopes of living a simpler life and defining the line between too much and too little technology. In our society, no one has ever drawn a line that clearly says how much technology is too much, and even…

Is it ethical not to treat children whose parents have chosen not to vaccinate? More and more physicians are beginning to wonder if they are creating a risky environment for their patients if they continue to treat unvaccinated children. In 1962 the “Vaccination Assistance Act” was passed. This act provided ongoing financial support to both state and local health departments. By 1977 the Childhood Immunization Initiative set goals for 90% immunization levels for US children. In 1980 these…

“All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players” (Shakespeare). Shakespeare’s interesting interpretation of the world as a stage still remains true today. Many people come and go from life and some have major roles while others have minor roles. Although Shakespeare’s phrase is simply a metaphor, in the Sight and Sound Theatres in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, their world is a stage. Sight and Sound Theaters aim to produce theatrical representations of Biblical scriptures with the…

Michael Scott Professor Gamel REL 1350 3 October 2014 The Michael Scott Confession of Faith During the sixteenth century, Europe and the church went through what is called the Radical Reformation.

The weekend my boyfriend began seeing another woman, I walked into a megachurch for the first time. My girlfriends and I didn’t go to praise Jesus. We went for fun. (I didn’t know about the boyfriend yet.) My two friends, both 20-something journalists like me, were visiting me in Houston, and we considered Lakewood Church — the largest house of worship in the country and home to controversial superstar pastor Joel Osteen — a tourist attraction. We parked in a crowded underground garage and…

I try to avoid issues and situations that result in an argument. However, I’ve learned the importance of supporting my claims and strengthening my beliefs by providing evidence supported by creditable sources and confirming it with multiple sources. I know the issue about vaccinations is a very touchy subject. I’ve learned that by experience. However, my beliefs are built off of the foundation through my findings in my research that addresses the cause of more and more people refusing to become…
