Cardinal direction

There's no place like home? Dorothy was right: there’s no place like it. We go through life dodging wicked witches of all cardinal directions but, ideally, our homes are places where we feel most comfortable. At home we should no longer have to battle immorality. In the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy struggled to find her way back to her family, her friends, and her lifestyle in Kansas. The story of Dorothy Gale resonated the human desire to return home after being forcefully removed from them. We have…

Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma The Pawnee were one of the first Native American tribes to settle in the Great Plains area. Around 1200 C.E., the Pawnee migrated from Texas and Mexico to find a new home elsewhere. They traveled for years settling in Oklahoma, Kansas, and parts of Nebraska around 1750 C.E.

Why is it that as our world is globalizing: sports, businesses, markets, and technology are the first to come to mind? Yes, all of these things are crucial in the globalized society that has emerged today. However, we take for granted the cultures, languages, and even religions that spread into a global era of their own. These so commonly forgotten parts our past relate back to how our everyday lives came to be. Religion is an aspect of most peoples’ lives; there are communities of the same…

Commentary on the Encyclical of His Holiness Saint John Paul II, Fides et Ratio One of men's abilities is to want to know more, to know where they come from. In this act we can see throughout history the different philosophical currents have been asking all over the world asking men's origin. Philosophy has been the science that comes close to finding where we come from and the meaning of our lives. Not only in today's world but over the time that the church has existed since Christ founded it,…

How has the Use of Virtual Reality Impacted Training in Sports? The great football coach of the University of Alabama, Bear Bryant, once said, “It’s not the will to win that matters – everyone has that. It’s the will to prepare to win that matters” (Roberts 2012, n.p.). Anyone who has ever played a sport knows that the key to success is practice, practice, and more practice. Most athletes train for countless hours trying to figure out new ways to perfect the skills that they have already…

The second clause is meant to describe the interconnectedness between mathematics and the creator, specifically that it can be a two-way connection, or one-way in either direction. For example, using math to describe God is one-way, but using math to describe God and believing that He used math to create the universe is two-way. Both of these examples would be sacred…

According to The 25 Most Inspirational Athletes in Sports History, “Pat Tillman was one of the most patriotic athletes that this country has ever seen. He enlisted in the U.S. Army in 2002, just a year after his fourth season with the Arizona Cardinals. Sadly, he was killed in Afghanistan from friendly fire in 2004, nearly two years after he joined the military. Tillman has inspired many for his ultimate sacrifice for his country.” If Pat Tillman isn’t a inspiration to at least one college…

INTRODUCTION Often individuals are described by their personality. Some are described as being introvert and some as extrovert, some as aggressive and some as docile. Hence it can be inferred that when we talk of personality, we mean enduring characteristics that define an individual’s behaviour. The word "personality" originates from the Latin persona, which means mask where the mask was not used as a plot device to disguise the identity of a character, but instead was a convention employed to…

The Leviathan of Hobbes proposes a system of supremacy that a supreme or invincible ruler controls. Meanwhile, Locke's Second Treatise of Government presents a government that is dependable or responsible to its people with restrictions on the supremacy or power of the sovereign. Furthermore, according to Hobbes, the "state of nature" is both extremely a cruel setting and oddly formed or structured. Hobbes recognizes that we have natural laws that exist, but he mostly talks about the "state of…
