Birth practices can vary by culture and two of the cultures that I found interesting to read about regarding birth practices are the Chinese culture and the African culture. In this discussion, I will describe a few of the beliefs and rituals of each and if these cultures are similar or different. The Chinese culture highly regards family as a vital unit of society and a birth is accompanied by certain rituals (Singapore National Library Board, 2013). In order to not disturb the fetus and help…

God told Adam and Eve his promise for human salvation. God said to them, “there would be a woman whose “seed” or descendant would conquer the serpent.”(page 64). God’s word or promise would become flesh to defeat Satan, show his love, and allow us to share the divine life. God’s word becoming flesh depended on Mary being obedient to God, unlike Eve. The only way for God to help redeem us was by becoming man himself and cleansing us of our sins. “Therefore, we can state without hesitation that…

Liquor - Walter POV Liquor: the drink of the devil, the cause of problems, and my dream. The liquor store is all I think of everyday. Of course, my family discourages such an idea and doesn’t trust me, but I think they all are as dumb as a rat. The liquor store will ultimately give me and my family an economic boost, so why are they complaining? After all, money is life. It’s water, but in a paper form. It will solve our economic and social problems that we have suffered long enough in our…

a prostitute from the West. When the film opens, the audience meets a proper and well-behaved woman, introduced to us as Lucy Mallory, searching for her husband, “I’ve traveled all the way here from Virginia. I’m determined to get to my husband. I won’t be separated any longer” (Ford, 1939). She quickly shows that she is quite the opposite of Dallas, with the men asking her opinion and putting the drink in a separate cup from the other people in the car for her. By replying to her driver, Buck’s…

learning a new language, and explain words that Pohnpein people don’t have. 3. Pohnpei used three different types of language common, respectful, and honorific. The latter two levels are called “high language.” In high language ordinary actions- eat, speak, love, hate, die, come, go , sleep, think, weep, wash, and whisper-…

descriptions of man we are all equal. we all need air to breath, food to eat, and water to drink. being wealthy does not make us more or less godly. the color of our skin does not make us more religious. nor does any of this provide for a lack of equal opportunities in the justice system. it is a lawyers job to make sure everyone has a fair trial. for example if a wealthy African American man was being tried in court for theft against a very less wealthy Caucasian man. should the wealthier man…

Oliver sacks wrote about a man named John Hull who went blind and didn’t know the true meaning of his other senses until he lost his sense vision and sight. “After he became blind, he experienced a gradual attenuation of visual imagery and memory…. a state that he called “deep blindness”…

are a boy? Do they hope you can marry with a good husband who loves you if you are a girl? Before we are born, genes help people to select the gender and people cannot have a chance to decide our sex. Also, people decide to separate the roles between man and women. Roles can help people to find the right positions that people can work with their own abilities. For example, the male police officers can protect people and create safety and the female police officer can give the advice to people…

The Oxford dictionary defines a vampire as ‘a corpse supposed to leave its grave at night to drink the blood of the living by biting their necks with long pointed canine teeth.’ But, as I will explain, there is much more behind this gothic character; a reflection of societal views and values and contextual evidence within their stories help us to understand the world in which they were created. A text from the past, in this case Dracula written by Bram Stoker in 1897, not only helps us to…

an expression of love. Literature uses food in many different ways because it is something that any reader can connect with immediately. Everyone knows different cultures have different foods, so authors can put their heroes in situations where they eat odd foods to express a drastic cultural change. Authors can build trust between their hero and other characters by having them share food, just as they can easily build tension by using food as deception. Since even heroes need food plot points…
