New Vision

David Kennedy’s essay titled, “Whittling Down the New Deal,” explains the numerous compromises President Franklin D. Roosevelt had to create in order to successfully implement the New Deal’s programs. Before the New Deal could be passed, the President had to remove or change many parts of the plan. Compromises are vital for any nation, big or small. They have to have support from both political parties. FDR believed all Americans should be in a social insurance system, from “cradle to the grave…

Patrick, Thank you for making very insightful contributions to our discussion this week. You declare, the Apostle "Paul's reaffirms that the only thing we need concern ourselves with is the will of God. Memorizing these lines and repeating them daily they become the Christian mantra to become mindful in the mindfulness of Jesus." I concur with your credo. A vast amount of Christians has already conformed themselves with the will of the universe, rather than the will of God. I breathe and live…

In contrast, Jesus’ attitude to service is completely new. For instance, he washes the feet of the disciples , and he prepared the breakfast for his disciples . Our Lord took this new perspective of serving as the indispensable quality in his disciple.

It expanded on the vision of “new nationalism”, which recognized inevitability of economic concentration. Roosevelt called on the government to regulate new economic structures and to become the “steward of public welfare”. In his speech Roosevelt state that equality will have two major results. One of these results is every man will have a fair chance to make himself all that…

Robert Frost is considered one of the most celebrated poets in America. Although he grew up in urban New England, Frost chose a distinct rural literary style using everyday language.

It was through his grandfather’s financial support that he continued on in high school where he published his first poem in the school’s magazine. He briefly attended college but returned home to various unsatisfactory jobs…

Social Studies: Lyndon B. Johnson’s “Great Society” Lyndon B. Johnson created many programs that encased his vision of a “Great Society.” However, America is still not a “Great Society,” and it never will be. Although there will always be predicaments in this world, more programs could be passed, addressing current problems in America. There may be similar programs that have already addressed such issues, but they haven’t been working very well if the topic has been brought up in the first…

There are two formidable oppositions to these religious impositions. The first is that of Diogomay who speaks in the name of the Ceddo with a Samp . He outrightly denounces the injustice of denying people rightful ownership of the fruits of their labour that was forcefully taken away from them. Even though Diogomay had been exempted from the forced labour due to his age and royal blood, he refused this offer and became part of the movement of the Ceddo. The second opposition was that of Madior…

Revelation: “Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;” “the things which thou hast seen” refers to the vision of the glorified Jesus in 1:12-18. “The things which are” refers to the seven letters of Rev 2-3. “The things which shall be hereafter” refers to the visions of the rest of the book. In other words, Rev 4-22 is a prophecy of future events. Specifically, chapters 4 and 5 prepared John, and they prepare the reader, for the…
