Concerning culture in the high sense, Emerson refers repeatedly to Goethe, who apparently came close to the high ideal of culture in his “all-sidedness” and in making use of everything for the development of the mind (1969, pp. 301-302). But Emerson pointed out that even Goethe was not without flaws; Emerson thought Goethe incapable of self-surrender (see Emerson, “Goethe; or, the Writer,” (1883)). Self-culture in a high Emersonian sense, then, is…

same qualities as above given that bipolar ones have two branches for neuronal processes extending from the neural cell body in addition to a single axon and dendrite, “[where it can be] found in the retina of our eyes. In fact, during embryonic development, the eyes grow directly right out of the brain” (Antranik, 2012, para. 4). The latter shape happens to possess many branches extending from the cell body with a usual one axon and numerous dendrites as the shape for all motor neurons. On the…
The first five years of a child’s life is a time of major development and experiences during this time influence their whole life. During this stage they rely on adults to guide, nurture and protect them (Doyle, 1997). Unfortunately, some children are faced with various forms of harm and neglect that has impacts all aspects of their life into their future. Abuse is an epidemic in our community, with the meta- analysis conducted by Mathews, Bromfield, Walsh, Cheng & Norman, (2017), stating the…
A mother, that glorious creature, that carries in her womb, unconditional love. Nature grants her the ability to embrace with her heartbeat, the life that nurtures off her. Undoubtedly, the mother-child relationship is indispensable for the child prosperity; nonetheless, the father-child relationship is as important. He symbolizes that rational yet sensitive embrace that every daughter needs to evolve healthily. However, a father is human; a man that struggles and isn’t immune to an…

The past vs. present argument can come into play that in modern society there is an increasing number of stay at home dads and mother breadwinners. The Australian Bureau…
such affirmations were tied to recognition that humans may (regrettably) resist God’s gracious salvific overtures, for God’s restoring grace is co-operant (Maddox 147). The co-operant nature of grace entails that we must “put it to work,” as Wesley phrased it in his classic articulation of the co-operant nature of salvation: the 1785 sermon on Philippians 2:12-13, “On Working Out Our Own Salvation” (Maddox 147). The reason for our requisite participation in the process of salvation is not a…
Contextual (with focus on Culture) (Note: need more positives) Expand Your Horizon: Culture is a part of our every day existence. Culture, like someone said, is the water the fish swims in; it is something we see around us but we are not aware of it or the impact it leaves on our lives. However, culture is not imperceptible.
