James Claiborne, author of the novel, “The Irresistible Revolution: Living as an Ordinary Radical” and a devout Catholic, agrees with Ms. T on her ‘turn the other cheek’ philosophy. Jesus taught that to live as a follower of Christ one must tackle every difficult, trying, and violent situation in life peacefully and non-violently. Like Jesus, Ms. T is in turn teaching her “disciples” or her scholars this important Christian ethic of responding to violence and wrongdoing through pacifism and peaceful resistance.

Claiborne believes that to live as a follower of Jesus today we must oppress evil and violence not with the same evil and violence we are being oppressed with, but with kindness, love, and nonviolence. “Evil can be opposed without mirrored … oppressors can be resisted without being emulated … enemies can be neutralized without being destroyed” (Claiborne 280). Love and forgiveness are key, says Claiborne, when not only dealing with our friends, family, and loved ones, but with our enemies, haters, and…

After reading the second section of the book I feel bad for Shivana. She is willing to do anything to get an abortion and she is extremely desperate. When she meets the cab driver she engages in sex with him just to make more money. She then has a breakdown because she realizes there will be consequences when she goes home and her mom finds out that she is pregnant. Another example of when Shivana is desperate is in this quote “Jump on my stomach and make me lose this shit.” She is willing to…

(Hansen & Lampan, 1974). When the BEOG was first established, it provided each student with $1400 minus the amount of the student’s assets and potential family contribution (Hogan, 1973). The BEOG also established a federal formula that helped determine the need of the student, which in turn determined the student’s eligibility for the grant (Services, 2005). The BEOG was indeed revolutionary, but it is important to note that its implementation did not get rid of the Educational Opportunity…

relevant theory I could find. It states that “Many pe u hjople believe that God is a lawgiver who alone defines what actions are right and wrong. Catholicism has its rules of life, the 10 Commandments, in which commandment number five is “Do not kill”. Fine print does not exist within these 10 Commandments because they are pretty straight forward. One shall not kill for the fun of it or for revenge, because it is not our place to decide when it is right or wrong, when it is clearly wrong all the…

Calvin would replace the hierarchy of priests with four ecclesiastical offices, two of which would be held by the laity. “A well-ordered Church lives under the supervision of the four orders of pastors, doctors, elders, and the deacons. ” In this radical departure from the Catholic Priesthood Calvin…
