Hatred

For me, I have grown up with Christianity. Ever since I was born I have been in raised in church. The church I attended while growing up was great. It was a small church plant and we moved around a lot. My story starts with Sunday school and my hatred for it. It then moves to Good News Club which would make the biggest impact on my life. Then it moves to high school youth group and college. My earliest memory of church was when we met above the thrift store in town. As the church began to grow,…

Generational Deficits: The complexity of generational poverty One would assume that if one generation is impoverished and the next generation is also impoverished, that this had to be from the same lack of resource and exclusively that.

What do we all have in common within this room? Here, let me give you a hint, it includes our anatomy. We were all born this way; human. Who knew such a simple word could carry so much power behind it. This word grants one human rights no matter what race, gender, or religion they are accompanied by. I have another question for you all, why are people all around the world being denied basic human rights because of factors that they cannot control, such as homosexuality or gender identification?…

The frequency of hate crimes has risen over the past two years drastically, in not only the United States, but all over the world. Daily, we see news articles and broadcasts about gun violence, murders, and suspected hate crimes, so much so that people merely shrug it off if the person(s) who died or injured were not close to them.

offence is based on a ‘group selection’ model (also referred to as the discriminatory selection model).

Consumed by Darkness “You know, I want to burn your face off, so that no one else can see your beauty.” He said completely straight faced. It was one of those times that you knew he wasn’t joking and that scared me. The first time I ever noticed him, was the day he walked up to me when I was working at my high school’s pool as a Lifeguard. He had been in swimming that whole evening during my shift and I didn’t really think much of it. At some point, he had hopped out the pool and took a seat…

The aspect of hate is strongly touched on in Princess Mononoke “Look, everyone! This is what hatred looks like! This is what it does when it catches hold of you! It's eating me alive, and very soon it will kill me!” This is a quote said by Ashitaka, the quote sounds like Ashitaka is saying that hate is a curse. Ashitaka is well aware that if he…
