Rob Bell argues that no one will spend eternity in hell because eventually God will save all people. Some believe the punishment for sin, is hell fire. On the other hand, others believe there is no eternal life in hell, because we will be saved by God who forgives us of our sins. We all become his children…

These institutions write scripts for thinking rather than just discipline and punish for disobedience. Foucault called those scripts discourses. There’s no escape from discourses, and there is nothing besides them between human and his or her being. The personal position is a combination of “strategies” proposed by…

Obviously, the Puritans are appeared to be "civilised" in a few ways: they have an arrangement of standards and disciplines. In any case, the text, in various distinctive ways, investigates the genuine way of this "civilisation" by recommending that, indeed, the Puritans are not really what we would call “civilised”. Hawthorne had ancestors involved in Puritan…

Shame for you Sins In The Scarlet Letter the main themes of the story are sin, guilt, and shame. Shame has a way of punishing oneself. Shame may be an extreme form of punishment, but in the book it worked, and it had a lasting effect on the characters.

In this book, Hubner explores a juvenile correctional facility and provides the readers with insight on the school’s ultimate goal of resocializing the teenage delinquents held there. Hubner points to the reason as to why systems that include retributive justice do not work as such, “With a few exceptions, most institutions incarcerating juveniles do not rehabilitate. Indeed, they are not that much different from adult prisons. At best they are holding tank, at worst, they are finishing schools…
