There is a moral requirement to be a Minimally Decent Samaritan as Thomson puts it, and this makes a late abortion wrong if it is done just for the sake of convenience. To use her example, it would be wrong for a woman in her seventh month of pregnancy to get an abortion just to avoid the nuisance of…

For hundreds of years the term ‘gender’ has been defined as ‘the physical and/or social condition of being male or female’ (Cambridge Dictionaries, 2018). ‘Gender’ has served as a term since the 14th century and although it is used interchangeably with the word ‘sex’, these words have differing connotations. ‘Sex’ refers to the biological differences that encompass a male or female, whereas…
The Singer tells the story of the “Singer” , an allusion to Jesus, who is proclaimed the “Troubadour” (Messiah) by the Earthmaker (God). Throughout the story, the Singer proclaims the Star Song, the Word of God, and is in constant conflict with the World Hater (Devil). The Singer shares several similarities with the Gospel of Mark: Mark’s portrait of Jesus is “The Suffering Servant” as shown through 8:31, 9:31& 9:12 where Jesus states that the Son of Man will suffer by man. The story portrays…

the Association claims, “Without the slightest sense of propriety it aims to drive from German soil the celebrated preachers of truth, the splendid educators of you, the comprehensively trained scholars, the spotlessly pure priests, and the good Samaritans of the last war, labeling them as the dangerous dregs of society.” It is clear in just this section of their manifesto that the Catholics are feeling strong senses of hostility and discrimination from the German government. They highlight the…
This class and trip we went on reinforced the direction and changes I want to make in my life, and the impact I want to have on others. There was a handful of eye opening experience’s I witnessed throughout my time in the DR, and these things I will never forget. Throughout the trip I personally learned a lot from the people of the community, because they didn’t have the best living circumstances but they always had a smile on their faces.

When I briskly walked into my grandparents’ house I expected to see my family at work round the conference-like table, thrashing out some sort of business deal. Instead I was met by dreary-eyed zombies, an eerie silence awash. “God it’s like a Samaritans tea party in here,” I sneered. At that moment my grandfather stumbled in. The normal sharp suit and tie had been replaced with a set of ragged pyjamas. He look gloom, morose, dejected. “Right, what’s on the agenda today?” I asked my PA, or…
