One World

As U.S. citizens it is culturally acceptable to have multiple children but that is not the same in other countries. In China there is a one child policy that limits the number of children a married couple can have. This rule was first introduced to the people of China in 1979 (Levin). Just as expected there are several exceptions to this rule such as either spouse being an only child. If either spouse was an only child then it is legal for the couple to have a second baby four years after the…

Over the course of several years, China has had a policy called the One-Child Policy. The one-child policy had a terrible start and a pretty dry finish. The One-Child Policy was a bad idea. One of the reasons why the One-Child Policy was bad is because of the extreme loss in females. The reason why females were born less is that families wanted a male to live with the family name. The abortions of females became so bad that China would not allow the parents to know the gender of the child.…

captors, or “people with gear,” cast shadows on the walls, which the prisoners interpret as reality. Later, they set one of the prisoners free. After leaving, he discovers that the world is not as he expected. When the prisoner returns to the cave, he tells the others of the world above. I had a similar experience when a transgender woman married into my homophobic family. My view of the world changed entirely and I was a different person from then on. Like the characters in Plato’s allegory,…

what they call a “unique colony” within today’s world, and not a social group who makes their decision based on society’s opinions. The authors chose to use the metaphor of a colony to symbolize that although the church is part of the state its first priority is God and his will, rather than the governments. The second metaphor the authors chose to use throughout the book is that Christians are resident aliens, meaning that we do not belong to this world but instead belong to heaven. This…

The mere mention of the word death evokes fear, anxiety and restlessness. It preys on the young and old alike, the poor and rich, the strong and weak, the brave and the cowards. Because of its nature that remains to be a mystery, men and women have turned to poetry to vividly describe it, seeking to shed a glimpse of light on this “might foe” Such thoughts are captured in the two poems by John Donne, “Death, Be Not proud” and “The Tyger” by William Blake. For sure death is just a temporal state.…

library is in one word, glorious! It is in one of the outer towers so I had to struggle and fuss with my dress to avoid dragging it across the ground outside, but it is well worth it. The books spiral up the tower along with the staircase and the room is still around 40 feet in diameter leaving plenty of space to walk around the amazing furnishings. It smells of dust and leather, the warm air feels as if it is hugging me from all around. Being in so many libraries throughout the world, I can…

One has to be able to take the dedicated time it takes to perfect the craft. Even though natural talent is something that is…
