The Day the Earth Stopped

and hidden to the outside world. Nevertheless, how can such “brutally misogynistic violence” (Kristof 133) happen and go without world outcry or major concern everywhere? And most of all, why should human trafficking be the world’s main issue to be stopped? (TWO) Poverty, war, famine, drugs, nuclear weapons, disease, crime. All of these issues are all over the globe, and either directly or indirectly…

evil, temptation and destruction to man. Could one being be the cause of all madness and mayhem? How is one meant to conceive that god only inflicts evil if he is intending to “bring good out of evil”2. With the influence and advancement of modern day technology and science, it is becoming more practical and reasonable to assume that God did not create humans and in fact the humans created God. These arguments are well indeed evident in David Hume’s The Problem of Evil as well as Russell’s…

8~ A week had passed, and it had rained the night before, and so, the earth gave up her heady scents, the next day, in the deep wood, where two bespectacled, little girls walked and explored. As the breezes made the boughs of the pine forests sing softly, one of the girls spoke up. "You shouldn't have walked out here without the counselors knowing where you were," Velma cautioned. "I'm just curious, that's all. Aren't you?" Marcie said, stepping over a tree root. "That counselor was able…

hard." John F. Kennedy After World War II, tensions were high between the United States and the Soviet Union (USSR) due to disagreements between either territory. When the two rivals announced the launch of their own space satellite within three days of each other, a competition, although not announced publicly, was clearly underway. With the fear of possible weapons going spacebound, being under the radar due to the seemingly friendly competition, the prize for winning quickly became much…

lot of what these people were raised with; their whole lives they have been Baptist and have known that there was a Heaven and a Hell, but they were located in a place not on Earth and Heaven was where God was at, whereas Hell was where the Devil was at. But the Nation of Islam said that there was a god, but he lived on Earth and the devil was all white people, and that there was Heaven and Hell on…

continuation of the Gospel of Luke. Both books are addressed to the same person Theophilus, whose name means “beloved by God”. Also Acts picks up right where Luke 24 ends, with the ascension. When Jesus ascended it marked the completion of his ministry on earth. Verse 1 Acts 1 and Luke 24 have much overlap between them. “Without the book of Acts the story of Jesus would be incomplete. Afterall, he didn’t come merely to save individuals to get them to heaven, but to create a community that…

Grendel and Modern Day Society Grendel and modern-day society may not have many things in common from an outside point of view, but when one starts to examine it they are alike in more ways than one would realize. Beowulf's Grendel and modern-day society have similarities and differences; however sometimes the similarities outweigh the differences. The modern-day society of today's world is one completely opposite of the society in Beowulf. In Beowulf's time, what caused…

people don’t really flip cars in their lifetime. It really is a rare thing almost like pandas. Waking up that morning I did not intend to flip a car but that is exactly what I did. It was a regular school day. I only had two classes at school so I always came late and left early. On this particular day I had a waxing appointment about thirty minutes after I go out of school. I was headed out the school doors ready to get the first waxing ever in my life. My boyfriend at the time, Kace, also…

nature, life, and literally everything that surrounds us, that is why everyone should be conscious of what we are offered for a limited time. We have to inhale and exhale very smoothly and live every moment with no fear of what can happen to us the next day. Life is full of surprises, and if one does not strive to get them, then the opportunity is gone forever. Researchers and writers from around the world have had hard times finding answers towards a supposedly natural, yet broad question which…

anything, and that I am nothing but a mistake. That is until I got into high school and I met my JROTC instructor. He had pulled me out of class on the first day of class and told me that I have potential that I can be something, that I have a purpose, and that I am worth something, that I will be an asset to this world one day. I still to this day do not know how he knew that I was hurting and pained but I am glad that he did realize it because it gave me someone that I could count on to be in…
