Over the years, culture has changed so much, and if one were to look at how culture has changed over the last few thousand years, they could see the hundreds of…

When you think of a democracy, what comes to mind? Is it just and equal? Or is it manipulative and surreptitious? Animal Farm, by George Orwell, explores the timeline by which animals come out of unjust “rule” and attempt to make a systematic government (only to fall into another one).

In group dynamic there is a leader who tries to initiate things and followers. Social Stratification is not that far from this concept.

I want audience to review the actions or lack of actions of God towards humans. Thesis: God is not as great as people think. I think God’s actions or inactions are not always in human beings best interests. For example, telling Adam and Eve not to eat of the tree of life or you shall surely die (Holy Bible).

Zachary Reese Prof. Patrick Emmett RS 110 2/10/16 Forms of the Covenant Judaism is a religion with rich history and strong Jewish cultural followings. Many of which are recorded in the Hebrew bible. In Michael Molloy’s book, Experiencing the World’s Religions, he defines covenant as “a contract,” but more specifically as a contract “between the Hebrews and their God, Yahwheh” (340).

the children of Israel took all their riches and saved their female virgins whom they held captives (Numbers 31:1-54). The Bible later told us that the five Midianite kings who died in the hands of Moses were the princes of Sihon, the Amorite king who reigned in Heshbon who was previously defeated by Moses. When king Sihon conquered the territories of Moab, he did not eliminate their kings, but rather had them served as kings in these territories which was then part of his kingdom (Joshua…
