Lazarus

Studies that relate to negative life events have appeared regularly in the psychological, psychosomatic, sociological and clinical medical journals. So much so that the stress from the events have been transferred and correlated with aggravating physical diseases such as cancer and HIV. (Cooper, 1987 and Breet, Kagee & Seedat, 2014). Selye (1956), defined stress as a “general adaptation syndrome,” caused by an “organism’s response to stressful conditions or stressors, consisting of a pattern of…

We experience the death of our physical bodies. Why do we die? Who decides when and how? With the advancement of science and medical technology, these decisions have become clouded. Alternatively, could that only be our own current misinterpretation? Historically, individuals died within their homes or outside the confines of a hospital environment. The majority of deaths have shifted into the hospital environment and around medical personnel. Death has not changed. Only the way we…

with regional rituals handed down by generations, it did not become a “full-blown American holiday” until the turn of the century (Bannatyne). Because of the contemporary nature of Halloween, without Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Sylvia Plath’s “Lady Lazarus”, and George A. Romero’s Night Of The Living Dead, the holiday as we…

According to FASB, emission allowances are intangible assets. This scope of this consideration is limited to areas under the U.S GAAP governance. This intangible asset model bars deferring of profit derived from the sale of emission allowances even if the sales result in short positions. The intangible asset method does not recognize third party buyers of emission allowances. The cash flow classifies the inflow and outflow as investment. The Statement of Financial Accounting Standards…

In the Gospel of John, the author uses several miracles of Jesus to show that the miraculous acts are specific in nature and directed toward achieving the goals stated in John 20:31. The intention is to understand Jesus is the Messiah and to provide a means of eternal life.1 However, among scholars sometimes there is debate as to exactly how many of these miracles are signs. Most tend to agree that there are at least seven, but a dispute sometimes arises if the Resurrection of Jesus should be…

For examples, the use in the story of Lazarus and the beggar (16:19), and the local poor and beggars (14: 21, 23) in the story of the Great Banquet. However, for this paper, I want to use a different interpretation of the word φτωχός. Scholars such as Joel B. Green argues that the use of the…

Noor Rajab Jürgen Müller German III 02 February 2016 The “Fritz Ritz”: Camp Hearne Prisoner of War camps are a ghastly thing to think about. When mentioned, the horrors of Soviet and Nazi camps rush to mind, thoughtless massacres done by underlings for the “greater good”. Camp Hearne, however, is different. A Prisoner of War, or POW, camp now located in Hearne, Texas, Camp Hearne kept around 48,000 Nazi soldiers. The first shipment arrived in 1943 with prisoners from Hitler’s Afrika Korps. Camp…

Charles B. Rangel once said, "The promise of the American Dream requires that we are all provided an equal opportunity to participate in and contribute to our nation." The statue of the liberty poem, "New Colossus" was created by Emma Lazarus in 1883. It reads how freedom in America is expressed by the Statue of Liberty; the mother of exiles will open her arms to those who have nowhere else to be truly free. The ways to balance the values of freedom expressed in the sonnet and immigration in…

In the midst of a visit with his family on page 230 of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment, the moment arrives where Raskolnikov must confront the inner turmoil his murders cause, leaving him in such disconnect with his surroundings that he believes he will never be able to express himself with anyone. This inevitably paves the way for irreparable isolation and paranoia, driving him to confess his actions and begin a new life with honesty and love. A couple days after Rodya kills an old…

Ragamuffin Gospel Reflection Reading the Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan Manning was a challenge; while I agreed with his thoughts and feeling the style in which it was written I found to be very cumbersome. Then this feeling of being critical of the writing made me feel guilty because the subject and the topic is so important and many individuals give the book very high reviews. I much prefer a local Springfield, Missouri author named Jennifer Rothschild; Jennifer is a nationally renowned author…
