Child adoption refers to the permanent transfer of the rights of a child from the biological parent to adopting parents. Various nations have established strict guidelines on the adoption of nationals to ensure that adoptees are placed with foster parents with sufficient qualities and reasons for the adoption (Blotcky 282). As opposed to guardianship, biological parents in an…

When I think about what the regulation of sexuality means, I think back to when I was still living under my parent’s roof. My parents are both fairly conservative Christians, so growing up, there were rigid rules about what sexuality meant. Sexuality in my family meant a heterosexual relationship in a monogamous marriage between two people of similar age and status. Anything that did not fit into the confines of this vision of sexuality was strange to me up until I started to form opinions on my…

Growing up with a Christian family, or with any strongly religious family can oftentimes affect how open and welcoming we are to other people and their views. I had a very religious family and am from a small village, so there wasn’t much diversity or openness to other beliefs. Recently, I’ve been curious and wondering about Wicca and interesting in looking into what they believe. I was raised where any pagan beliefs and witchcraft were believed to be evil and satanic. However, the more I…

Over the years of participating in relationships that I have had with my family and friends, I have realized that there is no right formula to go about exploring them. Most of my relationships have provided me with different experiences, which has pulled me closer to recognizing myself better. Through this endearment, I have learned that no matter how many unsatisfactory encounters I face in relationships, I have always discovered something new within me with its progression. Writing for me is…

Considering the Puritan culture’s emphasis on religion, logically, they would look to a religious mechanism to deal with this problem. Ideas of superstition, ever present in Puritan culture and recorded in books such as A Discourse on the Damned Art of Witchcraft,…

Historically people have apparently really disliked Judaism, from their oppression(and various counts of genocide and mass murder over several hundred years) at the hands of the Romans and later Byzantines, oppression by Muslims, the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, the hundreds of blood libels incited by christians from 700 CE to 1950 CE, their persecution, and murder, at the hands of Russian in in the early 1900s(and earlier), and of course, the Holocaust. We are however just focusing in on…

Architects from the 14th century to the mid 18th century incorporate elements from ancient Greco- Roman architecture into their designs for social, cultural and political reasons. The movement to revive “ancient Greco-Roman culture” is known as the “Renaissance.” The epicentre of this movement was in fourteenth and fifteenth-century Florence. It began with the leading merchant republics studying and teaching ancient Greek and Latin sources of history, science, art, architecture and literature…

1. Describe how Freire’s idea of “humanization” relates to the essence of peace education. Freire talks about humanization being the act of becoming more fully human. Only by acting against the oppressors can they both become fully human. The problem occurs when the oppressed, whom Freire says have been “prescribed” to their oppressors way of thinking, become free and their only reference of a free human is their oppressors. To humanize both the oppressed need to create something new and…

Much of the world today has been greatly influenced by concepts that originated and thrived during the Age of Enlightenment. What was considered important in historical times may no longer be major priorities of today. Much of what people consider to be important depends on their culture and their society. Is personal freedom more important than government? Is rational thought more valuable than religious rights? It is all relative and depends entirely upon the person contemplating these…
