Samaritan

People are not born evil. It is my opinion that as a child, we are always molded and influenced by the important people that touch our lives daily. Basically it begins with our caregiver’s weather it is our parents, grandparents, family members or babysitter. The mother and father plays a major role on their child’s personality. Therefore if somebody experience any type of abuse during their childhood whether it is physical or mental, most times they are awkward socially and they view society…

Sense of Self How can one define a “sense of self”? Is it the morals that one lives by or is it the actions that they take? In actuality, it is a combination of both. A true understanding of one’s sense of self are the morals that they believe in and how they use those morals in their everyday lives. But how does one form a sense of self? Is it pre-determined at birth that someone will act a certain way or is it through experiences that form during one’s lifetime? The works of three separate…

sitting right on the hills of Troy. During this age, I was attending daycare everyday daily because my mother would work full time during the week. I can still remember her waking me up everyday at the crack of dawn at 5 am and dropping me off to Samaritan, the daycare I was attending daily. At the time when I was younger, I enjoyed the benefits of waking up early there were a lot of perks sometimes. Sometime we would be in a rush so early so early in the morning because I was always the most…

questions about our responsibilities as a nation to offer refuge and rescue to persecuted people from beyond our borders. America, land of the refuge, offered little assistance to victims under Hitler’s control. American Christians forgot about the Good Samaritan. Even American Jews lacked the sense of urgency the crisis demanded. The Nazis were murderers, but we were all too passive accomplices. Despite a history of providing a shelter to imprisoned people, America struggled with many issues…

society. In the story “On A Rainy River”, the protagonist Tim O’Brien takes a giant risk by choosing to support his country by joining the war. His choice to follow his country for the greater good. Overcoming his fears about war, he puts his fellow samaritans ahead of himself for the greater good.

On another level, the spade is also the tool to Bruno’s destiny, the word that he struggles to pronounce throughout his reading lesson. The Jew and German is the same in God’s eyes and God mourns for both of them, all other innocent souls, alive and dead and, those that are about to be consumed in the gas chamber, who die together holding hands and know not what the life has for both of them. I believe God mourns for Bruno’s mother too, who does not have the courage to go against her husband’s…

Annually child abuse reports are made involving more than six million children in a given year, between four and seven of those children fall victims in child abuse related deaths each day. In the U.S. we hold the record for the most child abuse deaths among industrialized nations as well as the nation with the most citizens have and can obtain prescriptions for depression and anti-anxiety medications at any given time. With an entire economy being built off of these prescription drugs why isn’t…

The reading of the Old Testament is necessary because it establishes a standard for living. The Old Testament also establishes Israel as God’s chosen people and establishes the boundaries of the land that belongs to Israel therefore ending all doubt on whether Israel should give up their land. As well, the Old Testament establishes a sacrificial system for atonement of sin which prepares the way for Jesus in the New Testament. Without the reading of the Old Testament customs from the New…

Utilitarians believe that actions are morally right because they promote total happiness and wrong because they promote unhappiness. Here unhappiness is the opposite of happiness. Utilitarians are consequentialists, meaning that they believe what determines an action's morality is merely the outcome. They don't care why someone did something, only the results of their action. John Stuart Mill, a famous utilitarian philosopher, furthers the utilitarian argument by introducing the idea of higher…
