Gratitude

Esteemed Colonist, You are formally invited to the Boston Tea Party. If we all work together, it is likely we can succeed in repealing the tea act. We need to show the government that we, the colonists, will stand up for what we think is right. The British government has imposed a new tax on tea. This is a ridiculous and unfair tax on us and we can’t afford to pay it. The government has already established several new taxes to line their own pockets, and enrich their soldiers. We have had to…

responsibility to multiply. Although God officially owns all things , with dominion comes a unique responsibility to care, cultivate, and multiply its resources. Third, it is a natural response to give God a portion as an act of worship reflecting gratitude. Cain gave, Abel gave, Abraham gave, and Jacob gave. Those are only the examples from first book of the Bible. Not to mention many others throughout scripture. The final building block is that God is pleased to receive according to what he…

In the absence of human nature, where must an individual find solace in society? Mary Shelley ponders the answer to this ceaseless question in the novel Frankenstein. In doing so, she unveils the original conception of evil and the perils of societal rejection. While "the instruments of life" may promise existence, Shelley asserts that "a spark of being" cannot imbue a lifeless creature with the ability to civilize itself (Shelley 58). The scientific realm of thought will always fail without…

This weekend, I had the privilege of volunteering at the Gallagher Charitable that is hosted by the baseball and softball team each year. I have had the chance to volunteer every year, however this year was much different. In years past, aside from standing around and making sure families knew where to go, I did not do very much. This year, however, I served as the Spanish translator for the event. I felt that having this job made me truly see that I had done a lot in years past. Having taken…

Originally written as a salute to the American flag, the Pledge of Allegiance has been recited by millions of schoolchildren every morning since its debut during the 1892 Columbus Day Celebration. The revised oath is viewed as a patriotic representation of America’s virtues. Above all national symbols, nothing has provoked as much controversy as the issue on the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools. Beginning in the early 2000s, there has been an increase in schools…

should dress for the job you want because it sends a good message to your coworkers. The last tip the author gives is to say thank you. I think it’s important to thank your supervisor/manager for having the opportunity to intern there. Expressing gratitude reflects good character on your part and shows that you are pleasant to work…

John Winthrop, an English puritan, lives out purpose as God’s advocate for Christianity. His synopsis of his view of God is that "God Almighty in his most holy and wise providence, hath so disposed of the condition of mankind, as in all times some must be rich, some poor, some high and eminent in power and dignity; others mean and in subjection" (Griffith 16). Winthrop’s perception of God and God’s religious plan is that He is of most importance and the people’s Christian savior. He believes…

Today’s technology is so progressive it imprisonments a person’s mind beyond belief. To genuinely understand this, we have to be mindful of the technology at our disposal in today’s world.

Today’s world is so enormous people to be mindful of the rapid rate of growth in our world is…

Film Response Jodha Akbar I will answer the questions you asked on canvas regarding the film to display my understanding of the film and the fusion and clash of the Hindu and Muslim cultures. Akbar was a Muslim man of peace and truly wanted to see both Hindu, Muslims and other religions to flourish together in harmony, in the same environment. Octavio Paz tells us of how music was quite a large success in bringing the two religions together. He claims that the music of India greatly influenced…
