Compare and contrast various views of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism. In Hinduism, Hindus accept that there is one incomparable binding together constrain that makes, secures and safeguards. There are numerous divine beings and gods in the Hindu religion, yet they are all diverse aspects of the one being. A man must be conceived a Hindu, they can't change over. A man must carry on with a decent life and practice graciousness and philanthropy keeping in mind the end goal to accomplish a…

I recognized how my faith was playing a greater role in how I perceived the world around me. God uses each of us as an instrument to help others. He used Wally to teach me a lesson in the importance of humility. As I looked for focus, my church fit the bill; I could contribute more. I am creative, with a knack for writing, and desire for my faith. My conclusion was simplistic; enter the seminary and train for the ministry. It was clear to me at the time that it focused me. As I continued my…

Technology’s effect on people, especially younger generations, has been highly debated. Many people take very strong stances on the subject and tend to feel very passionate about their stance. This leads to people with the same viewpoints to deliver their messages I very different ways. Some of these deliveries tend to be much more effective than others. An example of two people with similar view points, but different deliveries is Sherry Turkle, and Nicolas Carr. Both believe that technology is…

Truth ts very often stranger than fiction, and it is true but strange that my three favorite books are called “The Outsiders”. Chances are you did not escape high school without a reading of S. E Hinton’s “The Outsiders.” This bittersweet tale of borderline blue-collar youth struggling to survive in a bleak urban environment is haunting and strange. Some of the denimed protagonists are still in high school, where they fight with the upper-class “Soc” boys and reveal surprisingly sensitive…

The Crucible: Act III Responses In the opening of Act 3, Giles Corey, John Proctor, and Francis Nurse barged into the Salem meeting house, proclaiming to have evidence to prove their wives’ innocence to Judge Danforth. Giles brings evidence by providing a deposition claiming Thomas Putnam was taking advantage of the witch trials, using his daughter Ruth to accuse others of witchcraft so that he could buy their land after the accused were hanged to death. Francis provides a petition with…

Surprisingly, Buddhism and Christianity have many similarities, but they differ in their approach to God, the afterlife, and how one obtains salvation and liberation. Among the many similarities that Buddhism and Christianity share, both were founded by spiritual masters who accepted disciples. Just as Jesus spotted Zacchaeus and invited him into his inner circle, it is said that the Buddha was also gifted with preternatural insight into character. We can see an example of this insight in a…

Philosophy of Education My educational philosophy isn’t just one of the five philosophies that we discussed, but a mixture between them all. Taking pieces of each one and making a new philosophy of education that encumpasses our growing technological world. Between the five philosophies, perennialism, essentialism, progressivism, existentialism, and social reconstructivism, I relate most to John Dewey 's progressivism teaching philosophy. Perennialism teaching philosophy, the style where you…

Music has been around since the beginning of time. It is everywhere you go and it will never go away. Music is a sense of communication, it provides a way to express the emotions one is feeling and it even has the ability to alter emotions and lift one 's spirits. All of the different ways music effects the lives of people today are unique and priceless. Where would the world be without music? It has been scientifically proven that if we are feeling anxious or depressed music may be able to…

upon it. Cotton is King.” Cotton was chief to the South’s economy, and was spearheaded by 1793’s invention of the cotton gin by Eli Whitney, allowing for a single worker to clean fifty times more cotton than previously possible. Similarly, Friedrich Nietzsche, a 19th century philosopher, said, “The press, the machine, the railway, the telegraph are premises whose thousand-year conclusion no one has yet dared to draw.” Both men were correct in recognizing the power of technology, specifically…

In this essay I will focus on Foucault and his philosophies. Being that I was not quite clear with the final paper question regarding Foucault and what he proposes for treating one’s identity. I decided it would probably serve me better if I did a little research on Mr. Foucault himself, I figured if I find out what type of person he was in his personal and private life, I would be better able to comprehend the final question. To begin with, Paul-Michel Foucault was born in 1926, in western…
