Omnipresence

problems don’t strike a chord with the narrator the same way that loneliness does. Would I do anything differently? Definitely. First of all, I would make sure that I have real friends and not just celebrity and business acquaintances. Bartleby’s omnipresence and impending sense of doom probably wouldn’t bother me as much if I didn’t feel so lonely otherwise that I needed his presence. In this case, company breeds misery. ` I wouldn’t act like kid in middle school that is ashamed of a…

I, Caitlyn Hogan, have read this entire article. This article, by Dagg, covers the attributes of God. As we aim to fulfill the duties given to us by God, we must first know His character. We should work to know God. Thus, we should start with God’s attributes. There are eleven attributes that are discussed. The first attribute is Unity. Moses told Israel “The Lord our God is one Lord.” Though plural names of deity are numerously used in the Old Testament, they were not used to teach the…

The movie Pleasantville contains some overtly race related themes, but what I found more fascinating was the use of religion within the movie. As I am currently taking a course in world religions, I thought it would be interesting to analyze the movie from not just a Christian but also, eastern (Buddhism, Daoism and Confucianism) religions perspective. It seems as if the director chose to use Christianity for the more visual symbolism but thematically, the movie deals a lot with the yin and yang…

In “Racism" Carmelita Castaneda and Ximena Zuniga begin their introduction by questioning the interpretation that the election of Barack Hussein Obama, the first person of color elected president of the United States, has brought about a concrete breakthrough for racial equality towards people of color. The authors also make note of the contrasting view that racial disparities in education, healthcare, criminal sentencing, and employment are increasingly marginalized based on well substantiated…

I believe that people cannot live without ‘Faith’. People know that god exists through two ways. First way is through prophets messages, which I think was the first real knowledge. God ordained Prophets to undertake the same mission from Adam to Prophet Mohamed, the religion delivered by all prophets is exactly the same. The message is monotheism, doing righteous deeds and to establish the religion and make no division therein. So how did divisions happen? When Prophets died, their followers and…

Domenic Ghirlandaio’s Madonna and Child of 1470-75 is a tempera half-length portrait that shared characteristics of paintings commonly displayed in Florentine homes. The painting depicts the Virgin Mary calmly glancing in a downward direction towards her young son, Jesus Christ, who is sitting on her right knee as he uses his head and arm to gesture in an outwards direction. While the Madonna and Child was a central icon in European history, Ghirlandaio’s portrayal nods to both the secular and…

Famous playwright, William Shakespeare once said, “One touch of nature makes the whole world kin”. Imagine if there were no plants or animals, how would humans survive? Humans depend on the environment, whether for medicine, entertainment, ambience, or companionship. Humans gain knowledge from nature, for example: in 1947, NASA sent Albert II, a male rhesus monkey, into outer space to see if he could survive in the harsh conditions, and he did. Albert II allowed for NASA to send humans into…

away. It’s even as powerful as a tear running down your cheak after a loved one has passed away. Beauty can be found in all of these things. While grand and simple, powerful and insignificant, beauty can be found everywhere. It’s because of its omnipresence that beauty is so easily overlooked and forgotten. The people in Lucy’s life have become so accustomed to beauties presence that it has become background noise in their methodical meaningless lives. Lucy is the one who finds meaning and…

My core values and beliefs have been developed over quite a few aspects. There are many events and reasons in my life as to why and how I act and think the way that I do. Everyone has different explanations based on their own experiences and upbringings. To start off with, my beliefs about God existing is one of the main forces as to why I am who I am today. The Bible and what its stories have to offer support these beliefs. God It has been the stance of historic Christianity that, unlike other…

***When we were growing up we all wanted to be something important in life a doctor, a lawyer, a teacher, and even a police officer. Throughout time the laws of the land have changed and sometimes we must change with it. Although officers generally are taught the same thing it does not influence all the same. Certain factors influence differently generally officers go from departmental structural to individual typologies. ***Generally when we look at the role of the police officers it is hard…
