I saw my mother's heart break when she held her father's bones 21 years after his death. One of my family members told me that I don't…

After reading Compassion’s Ministry Philosophy Series by Scott Todd and viewing “Inequality for All” by Robert Reich, I found that although they had many similarities, they had many different perspectives on poverty. Todd views poverty through a more religious outlook, while Reich has a statistical point of view.

A key term used from Pew Research was declining Religiosity meaning that “the percentage of American adults who are highly observant – at least as measured by traditional indicators, such as their certainty of belief in God, frequency of prayer, self-reported rates of attendance at worship services and self-assessments of the importance of religion in their lives – has declined.” The world is changing each and every day…

answer to a question we have all probably asked ourselves, what is Justice? Plato uses the Republic to illustrate the definitions that one may find for the word. However, a question that I will be tackling in this essay is, "If one does not believe in God, the does Justice matter?" asked by Daniel Frankel.
