The Insiders

bad person or that they do not have the same qualities as you. Eck’s main purpose was to encourage people to open up to others and be less judgmental; she wants us to go in as insiders to experience different religions, just like we learned in chapter one of Studying Religion (Kessler 2008, 1). Eck shared with us how her insider experience, in other religions, opened her mind to greater things and made her think deeper about her own…

Cultures clash, and these clashes come from preconceived feelings and emotions that originate from cultural heritage. The readings of Tierney, Norland, Simone and Bokova attempt to demonstrate the commencement of cultural clashes through misunderstandings on the areas of non-verbal, verbal communication and preconceptions along others. Tierney uses the challenging situation Iraqis experience with Americans living on Baghdad to expose the cultural differences that provoke misinterpretations to…

Visiting St. Paul’s Parish Princeton For this field observation project, I chose to attend the 5pm Sunday service at St. Paul’s Parish in Princeton. Growing up in the Pentecostal tradition, I have become at home in free worship and contemporary liturgy. Most of the church’s I’ve attended in the past had many informal elements in their liturgy, designed to make new-comers feel a little less awkward and part of the church family. As a new Methodist, I have found many Methodist churches…

may not have been informed on the exact laws of The SEC however that is irrelevant because ignorance of a law is no excuse for breaking the law. Martha Stuart took advice from a friend on a stock trade and that advice ending up being classified as insider trading with a very harsh punishment of 1-2 years in prison5. It is impossible to say whether or not Martha Stuart truly new she was breaking the law, or if she simply thought the SEC was not as omniscient as it actually is. To exemplify the…

that majority is white on board putting people on the board for other reason than them qualifying is ethical. On the other hand, Ophelia has an outcome that is very bad, which is going to jail for insider trading because she had knowledge of information that those others did not have access to. Insider trading is illegal and that would make her behavior unethical because she acted on the knowledge as well as assisted in getting the information. A utilitarian would weigh all these outcome and…

There has been much debate on whether or not cannabis actually has any significant value in the medical field. However, there is no arguing that cannabis has been used for centuries to assist in the treatment of a variety of medical conditions. After the plant was banned from public consumption there was little room left to conduct medical studies in order to evaluate the effects of the drug on the brain and body. Some argue that the laws should be loosened in order to allow medicinal studies to…

Program Is No Big Deal (And 2 Reasons It Is)” (Business Insider) it is easy to see that the article is interesting and fairly short. Something to note about this article is that it actually has an author, which was very rare in my search of websites for this topic. The article has plenty of cited material in it, is unbiased in its view, making it a website I would use to write a research paper on. When moving to the home page of Business Insider, the website is minimalistic with only the top…

argued that our conceptual understanding of ‘insider’ and ‘outsider’ will always be up for debate, and should not concern nor prevent scholars from undertaking a specific study. Scholars in studying these phenomena are just as insightful and contribute just as actively to the field as the new-age practitioners themselves. And with new-age phenomena being intertwined with participants who stray from identification, we cannot fairly call them ‘insiders’, nor call ourselves as scholars ‘outsiders’.…
