Creed

Among those most infamous politicians guilty of this crime are names like Niccolo Machiavelli, Adolf Hitler, and Saddam Hussein. Throughout history, leaders such as these have lied and manipulated other to achieve their own ends. These men lived by creeds that allowed them to believe that they were perfectly justified in misleading the people they lead. I fear what will happen to this country after the 2017 elections for president are to come. I see no great candidates. The most recent of…

through which other sources are understood and applied. Though important, Scripture alone is not the basis for theological reflection. Tradition, experience, and reason assist us as we seek to make meaning of Scripture and life. Tradition includes the creeds and other monumental works that have been derived throughout history. Experience is the individual person’s experience in his or her own context, or a part of the communal experience, that is applied when one is theologically reflecting.…

The video showed the discrimination in the cultural classes and it still prevalent in the society today. The video takes place in Riceville Iowa right after the death of Martin Luther King, and one of the kids asked, “Why did they kill a king.” Jane did not know now to explain. So that night she came up with a exercise that would ever change these 3rd graders and her life as she new it. So the next day in class she proposed the idea of learning about discrimination. All the kids were excided…

The car has been an influential piece of technology since its creation in 1886. The car or automobile has enabled billions of people to have freedom and have control over their travels. Cars have also mobilised economies worldwide, allowing further work force implications for millions more people. Cars have also brought communication and necessities such as food and water to rural communities, strengthening the relationship between citizens. However, the car has also caused thousands of deaths,…

The American West was a land of opportunity for everyone from 1865-1900. Though, the extent of the opportunity varied on your race or creed. In many cases, if you were intelligent, resourceful, and hardworking you would likely succeed in one way or another. The opportunities of recently freed blacks, the Chinese, and the American Indians were much less than that of the white man. In almost all cases, these groups of people really had no other choice and had to take any chance they could get in…

Although people claim that there aren’t injustices in the world today and that our society is equal, it’s really not. The injustices faced today connect to the racism of the 1930s in Sharon Draper’s novel Stella by Starlight. Stella’s mother was sick and the white doctor wouldn't see her and Stella’s father had to take a difficult test to vote and pay poll tax. African Americans were looked down upon and albeit this may not be the case now, there are several other discriminatory actions that…

It is common knowledge that in the 1960s it was the peak time of racial injustice in the country. During this time a well known civil rights activist, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., was doing everything that was in his hands in order to end this racial injustice in a nonviolent way. The document shown in the previous page speaks about all of King’s efforts and how people reacted to his actions, including those who attempted to kill him and his family. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a very…

This paper explores the complexity of feminist movement, such as Theology and Education in the United State. Womanist theology is a model of Liberation theology that focuses on the diverse and complex lives of African-American women in the United States (Seymour & Miller 63-65). Womanist theologians bring shape to the often quieted, misrepresented, and the misunderstood voice of African-American women in the United States. Mary Elizabeth Mullino Moore states that there is more question than…

Topic 1 Participation Assignment 2 “What We Talk About When We Talk About Race in America” I found a lot of points within the discussions from all three guests that suggest systematic racism. However, Paul Butlers touched heavily on structural discrimination being found in our society including blacks being targeted by police, making less money, not having access to housing benefits, and being overlooked for jobs, mortgages, loans, and other opportunities more available to whites. Each guest…

Ryan Coogler was also concerned with creating a multidimensional character when he crafted Fruitvale Station. The film tells the last day in the life of Oscar Grant, a young unarmed black man who was murdered by police on New Years in 2009 at a BART station in Oakland, California. The event struck Coogler hard. He was still in college when it happened, and the shooting took place in the community he grew up in. Much like the rest of the directors, Coogler’s personal relations to the material is…
