Economy is mainly focused on finance and making a profit…

In Jane Jacobs’ “The Death and Life of Great American Cities”, Jacobs sheds light on the thought process behind city planning, how that thought process came to be, and how that thought process is corrupt. Through giving specific examples via different big cities (New York, Boston, Philadelphia, etc.), she weaves in her overall message: that the base of city planning, and therefore cities in general, are a “hoax”; cities are built on a “foundation of nothing”. The founders on which modern city…

In Jane Jacobs’ book The Death and Life of Great American Cities , the author mainly focuses on the following three arguments: first, a city should have its complex structures. Planners should not create new structures by breaking the connections between the existing structures. Second, a city must contain diversity.

Gilgamesh the information he needed to complete his quest for immortality. It was, however, her words of wisdom that ultimately offered the answers he sought. Rebekah, in The Old Testament, executed a plan so Jacob, rather than Esau, received his father’s blessing. When Esau vowed to kill Jacob, Rebekah ensured his protection. Jokasta, in Oedipus, enabled the fulfillment of prophecy by abandoning her baby. She denied Oedipus the opportunity to face her with the truth by killing herself. In…

selected translations of the descriptive reflect a woman that has been raped. They each have connotations of a partner engaged in sexual activity. Perhaps הַכְזוֹנָ֕ה occurs as a reflection of what Jacob was in essence doing to Dinah - selling her for financial gain. The economic gain that would benefit Jacob by the sum of a bride price and Hamor by the acquisition of Jacob’s family intermingling. This final verse appears as a loaded question, as a reader is left to wonder what becomes of…

The approximate demographics of my congregation are as follows: over ninety percent are Caucasian; over fifty percent are 45 years of age or older; women are the dominate group within most of the small group activities; and the mining, healthcare, and retail industries are the largest employers respectively.…

In the book of Genesis and Exodus God makes covenants with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Moses in return for obedience of his commands. God promised blessings that consisted of acquiring Promised Land, building a great nation and having children to fulfill his perfect plan. The Abrahamic and Mosaic Covenants are affirmed and re-affirmed on a continued basis but the promises take years to be executed. While Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Moses obey God’s commands, they are almost never enriched with…

Joseph found favor with Jacob. All of his brothers were jealous of him. He was a man of strong character. His brothers sold Joseph into slavery, only for God to create a place for the nation of Israel to survive during years of famine. Just as Joseph stated to his brothers, “Don’t…
