Black church

the African American community (Chatters et al., 2011; Dempsey, Butler, & Gaither, 2016; Der Pan et al., 2013). Instead of seeking “outside” help, the African American community may find it more sensible to seek help from within the family or the church community (Allen, Davey, & Davey, 2010). According to Dempsey, Butler, & Gaither (2016), this is due to historical mental health misdiagnoses of African Americans and cultural mistrust. Additionally, many African Americans may not have the same…

our best we still need something or someone to help with that drive to help push ourselves.Which brings us to our next scene where we see the child version of the singer having a conversation with his grandmother then the scene quickly shifts to a church during a funeral. We then see the young child praying with his head on the coffin of his late grandmother.Seeing that scene in the video shows us the the grandmother had a great impact on the child. Seeing how quickly things happen in life. The…

UNJUST PAIN MANAGEMENT For the African-American Community As nurse, we seek to aide all of those who seek our help. However, not everyone is treated justly when it comes to pain management and pain control. An example of this disparity would be the case Dominique Oliver, an African American male, received a compound fracture to his lower leg while attempting to steal a soccer ball from a player on the opposing team while playing sports in high school. He was rushed to the local ER where his…

When reading a poem, depending on the author and the genre, it becomes important to consider the social perspective of the poem along with the archetypal perspective. When reading from a social perspective, it is important to make connections to the events going on in correlation for when the poem was written or set. When reading from an archetypal perspective, it is critical to take note of the symbols which express universal human longings. In the poems The Explorer by Gwendolyn Brooks and…

When I first started the semester, the only real exposure I had to any of the arts was the music I listened to, two art museums and Bharatanatyam, a classical dance from India. Many events and readings later, I find myself with more insight in the arts. I have much more appreciation for all of the various arts, specifically ballet, opera, and the orchestra. Prior to this semester, I always held a biased disinterest in these types of performances due to the fact that I didn 't feel the need to…

in life. Thus, Black religion I believe is the religious and spiritual practices of people of African descent all around the world, it isn’t just the act of going to church but rather every aspect the religion reaches in individual’s everyday life as well as the community as a whole. The black church and black religion are not synonymous, however. As stated before Black religion describes the practice of people all around the world and with such one would be wrong to assume all black religions…

“The Bible, Africa, and the Church in the Postmodern Era” Another key point, as leaders, pastors, etc. there must be an understanding of the word “postmodern” in order to see the impact it has in African American churches today. If understanding correctly, postmodern thinking implies pleasing people rather than God is okay. In other words, forbidden things are acceptable now; having no biblical insight, denial of absolute and objective truth is the current fade, also to some God really don’t…

She knows about what he is doing and respects him for being an advocate for African Americans, and for treating her like part of his family. This is supported by when Calpurnia brings Jem and Scout to the black church. She respects Atticus enough to bring his children to an African American church, knowing that Atticus raised them to not discriminate against African Americans. She looks up to Atticus in a way that not many other characters do, as a family member. Tom Robinson is a very…

of American’s and the long history of conflict which has existed in creating equality. Putting the struggles that have existed for a long time for blacks in America, Obama’s recalling of biblical and historical events such as David and Goliath, and Moses and Pharaoh, along with Christians in the lion’s den are used to express the harsh difficulties black have had in fighting for equal rights. Through capturing these events and images in the minds of his audience, Obama is noted writing, “Those…

at inspiring, because I could smile and follow directions. I think each summer I picked up another skill off the what social management looks like. I began to be more confident in myself and my team. I began to find out more information about each church to know how to make the situation better. I learned that forming a relationship first and then trying to change was much better approach to being a catalyst for change. This past summer, one church’s Bible school was very disorganized and the…
