States. However, the way that the word is used in context is discouraging to those innocent individuals who come to America in search of a better life. The word “flood” dates back to the story of Noah’s Ark, in which a flood killed nearly the whole human race. Using the word ‘flood’ to describe people crossing America’s border not only has a negative connotation, but also dehumanizes people who might have good intentions for coming to the United States. These types of metaphors are prejudicial…

the decapitation of a US journalist, missing in Syria since 2012. ISIS remains notorious for its killings of dozens and people, crucifixion and carrying out mass executions. It’s extremely difficult to fathom how such chaotic evil exists and guides humans to commit such acts of genocide. Moral codes cannot define such actions, then again they still are the sole roots of this type of evil. People who kill in the name of religion have their morals consumed by chaotic evil. Their justification of…

In the Unlikely Event of a Water landing Tragedies such as murder and rape are thought to be horrendous crimes; acts so violent and malicious that the perpetrators must spend their lives in prison to pay their dues, but these crimes occur so often they rarely make headlines anymore. Every once in a while a big “story” will hit the news and the masses will cry out in outrage but even then the outrage dies down and the victims are forgotten. Many times there are witnesses to these crimes that do…

have become a “wetico” society, a cannibalistic culture, we eat the life of one another for our own personal gain, and this is something that can drive us extinct if we do not change our way of thinking. People believe it is just human nature to be competitive, however, human nature is not selfish and greedy instead the strongest emotion that sets us aside from animals is sympathy. We have the ability to feel what another person feels, we are compassionate to a complete stranger in need. In…

Vidal 1 Euthanasia is a controversy that has sparked many heated debates all around the world. Due to its nature of removing human life in an instant with the mere injection or consumption of a drug. Many people believe that human life is a precious thing that should be preserved. And others would disagree that Euthanasia should be used as a means of ending their life. Though in truth, Euthanasia should be legalized, for people have the constitutional right to die,…

Human beings have always strived to find the beauty in life. Early man was the first to try and express a new form of visual beauty in primitive cave art. Since then art has evolved into one of the most distinguishable features of what make us human. Art has become synonymous with the human spirit and imagination. Art has even become a way of finding the light in dark times of despair. Films like Shindler’s List and Saving Private Ryan have helped show the world that even in dark seemingly…

There are theories about Genesis being written by two different authors. The two Genesis creation stories help to support this theory. There are many aspects of the stories that show there are two different authors for the two stories. This paper will discuss these aspects of the stories and show the differences that help to support this theory. Both stories show the way God created the world, but each story have hints of different themes and authors. The first creation story is separated by…

be an individual and what makes someone that person. When asked “Who am I?” the thing that defines us is our identity. The word “universe” is also used in this paper and it should be interpreted as: “everything that exists.” I will argue that a human being’s identity or essence is the sum of their experiences and their actions or reactions to all of their experiences. We should start by thinking about what makes each person different. We all look different, sound different,…

politics, especially the origin and role of law in human life. In most cases, the study of nature roles in understanding politics must consider how human beings interact with their leaders, as well as how laws inform their co-existence and mutual relationships. Both Aquinas and Machiavelli studied human life and came up with observations based on the relationship between humans and nature. Their works narrow down to the same conclusion that humans cannot survive on their own, and need something…

individual’s life. But perhaps even more profoundly is the realization that friendship is a necessary response to the dignity of all human life. Life is a sacred gift from the Creator and therefore God yearns for his people to recognize the gift of life. I believe that friendship is an answer to the reality of the sanctity of life. If one understands the dignity of a human person and moreover the reality that each individual is made in the image and likeness of God one must love another simply…
