Oath

Christian-Jewish relations. The four main armies arrived in Constantinople and were ordered by Alexius, the Byzantine emperor, to swear an oath of loyalty to him. This oath included him wanting them to recognize his authority over his current lands, as well as any lands that they may conquer. Unsurprisingly, almost all of the Crusaders, with the exception of Bohemond, resisted this oath. In 1097, the Crusaders attacked Nicea in May and the city surrendered the following month. The First…

relates to picking of the best known as “the culling of mankind”. These pros to euthanasia do prove a point that legalizing it would have positives but there are just as many, if not more negatives. For starters, euthanasia violates the hippocratic oath. It gives doctors too much power and as mentioned before, it decreases the value of human life. Legalizing euthanasia may also cause for suicides which is against many religions. These are just a few of the cons of euthanasia. Many people view…

"Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them" (Maxwell). Maxwell states a very important characteristic of a good leader- the ability to look ahead and plan for the future. Marcus Brutus, the main conspirator involved in Julius Caesar’s murder, lacks this specific quality. Although he is able to set his emotions aside and earn the favor and respect of the Roman commoners, he does not have a plan as to what he and the conspirators will do after they…

protect the family of the vassal if he was killed (C. Smith 3). In exchange for what they received from the lord, vassals owed loyalty and certain services to the lord. Like all other levels of society, they took an oath of fealty or loyalty to their lord, and they also took an oath of homage to the lord (Andrew Smith 2, C. Smith 2). Of the services vassals owed, the most important was military (C. Smith 2). In wars, lords who were vassals to the king would fight for the monarch and supply him…

a. Based on coaching he was provided from the lawyer representing a doctor who was being sued for medical malpractice, Lars Aanning lied under oath and admitted to it 15 years later. Rather than participate in a revocation trail, Lars has recently decided to surrender his medical license since this story broke. When Lars initially lied on the stand he expressed how it felt less like he was lying and more like he was helping out a college in need. In an interview Lars expressed the truth behind…

who protect their fellow co-workers who are going through a trial and are being bashed in by the public for their remarks, or decisions they take. Another factor of the inequality of the justice system is that it is unfair to certain races in which there needs to be a change from it, most state justices systems have a reputation of convicting a race far greater than another, for punishing people of a certain race significantly more than another, for not giving a chance to defend themselves…

Virginia was the first colony to have slaves, yet colonists did not originally come to America with slaves. While the issue of property rights and balance in political power was important, still more important is the values of the former to the oath as a state to the United States of America and the clear conflict of slavery to the original founding ideals. Virginia would not have opposed Great Britain with the other twelve original states if it did not believe in the original founding ideals…

Many students and teachers believe that Beowulf contains themes that are relevant to modern day. Do you? A lot of the themes can be observed in the “Beowulf poets” Beowulf. Beowulf is centered around three battles, the main character Beowulf a warrior from Geats comes to the rescue of Hrothgar to help fight off the antagonist Grendel. The story then escalates to Beowulf fighting off Grendel’s mother and a dragon. The poem does however connect with modern day themes such as loyalty, greed, and…

“Life is sacred. Helping to end it is morally unacceptable (Cons-Arguments Against, About).” According to those against physician-assisted suicide, the idea of a physician aiding in the death of a patient is completely against the Hippocratic Oath (Cons-Arguments Against, About). Furthermore, allowing patients to choose their own death may lead to the abuse of the system, and in turn, would legalize murder (Cons-Arguments Against, About). Those against physician-assisted suicide also claim that…

other social pressures to change the core program. The question BSA must ask now is; how far are they willing to allow the Boy Scout program to be eroded? Are they willing to take God out of the oath? Or, are they willing to compromise and let those that join, that have no belief in God, not say the oath? This is one issue still facing BSA because of atheists. How long will it be before BSA surrenders to…
