Motivational Statement Joining the Navy in December 2012 was one of the best decisions I ever made. My days in the Navy were much more than just opportunity. Honor, courage and commitment were the core values instill in me. They continued to define who I am wherever I may find myself. In June 2014, I was honorably discharged in order to be commissioned an officer in the same branch of the military. As I seek to become a Navy Chaplain – a clergy and officer; it is my desire to serve the Sailors,…

My interest for Radiotherapy began when I came across the topic of cancer in my A Level Biology course. The spontaneity of cancer and the fact that it does not discriminate on the basis of age, race or gender and that there are so many variables which can lead to cancer was very alarming to me. However it was equally intriguing as now more and more advances are being reached in treating cancer, with the use of radiation being one of them. Prior to this, science was always been a strong interest…

On the trip we focused on the aspects of religion that held our people…

security guard near the door. Back when Chicago mosques were receiving shooting threats from [non-Muslim] locals, our guard carried an assault rifle instead of his handgun” (Personal Communication, 2015). Although activist groups, such as the ADL’s Interfaith Coalition on Mosques (ICOM), exist, mosques continue to be threatened, especially those in relatively small cities, such as South Bend, or big cities, particularly New York City (ADL, n.d.). No place of worship, especially any religion…

Throughout history and leading up to modern times, activism has been a source of unity among citizens of society that come from various different backgrounds. Activism is the policy or action of using vigorous campaigning to bring about political or social change. Not only does it create a sense of togetherness, activism also helps humans move forward as a whole. However, some see activism as a form of extremism and they, therefore, oppose some or all forms of it. This opinion is overall…

The presenting client, Melissa, is a single 32-year-old non-denominational Christian. She attends a small Christian church in her rural town. Recently she has been under pressure for not being married, as being married and raising a family are something she wants, and strongly emphasized in her culture and religion.

maintain feedback of that militarization. It apparently hardened the pope's control over the Church and made certain financial developments vital to Church operations. It's a given that the crusades likewise had a profoundly negative impact on interfaith relations. The crusading development has left an engraving on the world in general.
