1. I surveyed two people. One of them is my friend named Tao Chen who is a member in the university’s drama club and the other is my uncle who is the manager of the financial department of a company. There are some differences between their groups. The drama club is more of a social group than a secondary group. It is formed for people who love drama and acting to enjoy the activities. The financial department is a secondary group that is formed to accomplish a specific task or goal and it is…

Brought to Jerry Brown attention the about approving the very controversial suicide bill that has passed recently. Which gives a person who is terminally ill the right to die painlessly, and Brown has yet to come to state his opinion on the matter. But what gives a person the right to choose if they want to end their life. On many level this bill is very disturbing to some out there, but in what way will this Suicide Bill solve anything, when we are trying to prevent the suicide from occurring…

“Commit your destiny to GOD, be confident in him, and he will act, making your uprightness clear as daylight, and the justice of your cause as the noon” (New Jerusalem Bible Psalms 37:5-6). As talked about in the bible passage, one should commit him or herself to God. Contrarily, Martin Luther stated that faith in God is all that one needs to be saved, and many beliefs of his opposed those of the catholic religion. A fallacy believed by Luther and the followers of his religion was that, one’s…

Social Conventions: The Condemnation of Norwegians Within his play, Ghosts, Henrik Ibsen places great emphasis on the issue of social conventions that prioritize duties and obligations in the Norwegian society of 1880. During his era, 90 percent of all Norwegians belonged to the Evangelical Lutheran National Church, the Church of Norway, which yielded great influence and authority within the society (Lovoll). Throughout Ghosts, the issues faced by the Alvings are rooted in the predefined beliefs…

The title of the album, Amazing Grace, is one of the most famous Christian hymns that almost anyone can recognize and sing in a heartbeat. The hymn embraces a linkage to America’s religious culture and motto of “In God We Trust.” Thus, having “Amazing Grace” as part of the 33 1/3 series of books is not a surprise. Although the title of the album is familiar to most people, not many would be able to recognize its powerful history and impact behind the lyrics. Aaron Cohen, the author of Aretha…

Belief in God has everything to do with trusting his Holy Word. Nothing is wrong with trusting the facts and words of the world, but when this is the only truth we accept, the belief is flawed. Well educated and good natured, Benjamin Franklin attended school through his childhood years and is still known today for his book smarts. Growing up, he was brought up in a Puritan household. Puritans wanted to “purify” the church and filter out the good and bad beliefs or ideas. To imitate Christ and…

Ragnar Andersen, the author of The Elihu Speeches: There Place and Sense in the Book of Job, examines the arguments of the critics who claim that the Elihu speeches are later interpolations, while simultaneously presenting the arguments of those, who like himself, argue that the Elihu speeches are original text in the book of Job. According to Andersen, Matthias Heinrich Stuhlmann, a Lutheran preacher, was the first person to include an argument against the originality of the Elihu speeches in…

In this week’s reading, the question I had comes from section 82 of the Doctrine and Covenants. In verse three it says “unto whom much is given much is required.” I was questioning what this meant. First I need to know what is given to me. After pondering this question, I realized that we are given so much. Not only does this mean that we are given blessing for the things that we do, but we are given much more than that. We are given prophets, apostles, and other church leaders. These leaders…

the college life. Many colleges wanted me to join their school. I chose Upper Iowa over two other colleges the two main reasons were: First, the way they do their scheduling is very nice, you only have to take 3 classes, at most, per term and there is only two terms in a semester. I felt this college was best to get me a degree in the career that I am pursuing. Second, was the wrestling program and wrestling coach. The program has been very successful in the past, and the coach was what I was…
