The Originals

Because of the immense financial pressure suddenly put on the NIH only one in four original research applications are getting funded, and even those that find success are funded almost exclusively after “lengthy delays and cumbersome reapplications,” (A Broken Pipeline). Many young scientists were attracted to the field and veterans were…

What are human beings made of? Like it says in Genesis 2:7 The Lord God formed a man from the dust of the earth and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” I believe that the soul and the spirit are in the a way similar but also different, I feel like the body is separate from the soul and the spirit because we can control our body and we cannot really control our spirit. I believe that the spirit and soul are similar in a way because they both are what…

strength, and the like.” This veil can help the rational man make fair decisions based on Rawls’ two principles of justice: maximize liberty and minimize inequalities. However, the two principles cannot be violated for the sake of the other. In his “original position”, Rawls’ states that members of the society have equal rights, and that social and economic inequalities are arranged so that they are to benefit the least advantaged, and are attached to the offices and positions fairly open to all…

uncomfortable thought that characters like Jim Crow are left relatively unexamined further than as an embarrassing racist facet of American history. However, when one sets aside the initial reaction to the seemingly overwhelming racism in T.D. Rice’s “The Original Jim Crow”, the intricate relationship between whites and blacks in 19th century America begins to develop. Simple racism and its connotations of outright hate, disgust and misunderstanding cannot fully explain the tradition of…

eyes desperately tried locating the source. The man’s pale face showed a great sign of terror, which was mimicked by his shaking hands. Alas, nothing was seen by the young guard and after a moment he ignorantly dismissed it and continued with his original task. The guard looked up to the tower’s platform and shouted “Clifton!” no response followed. The silence served to further frustrate the young guard. He irritatingly placed his lantern down and decided to set his muddy leather boots upon the…

Foucault argues that there is a critical shift in terms of power associations that is evident in the circumstance where the soul replaces the body as an objective of penal suppression. This form of displacement presents a fresh form of exposing the body to influence informed by information. Thus, the body is no longer considered as an object of punishment but rather as a tool for retribution. If the body is enslaved, the objective is not to impose bodily harm but rather to withdraw persons of…

In his essay “The Bipartite System of Laws in Paradise Lost" Eric Dunnum argues that in John Milton’s Paradise Lost, man’s fall can be attributed to a system, set by God, that reflects that which is also used by historical kings and governments of the world. This system is a set of laws that is, as the title suggests, bipartite, which means that it is composed of two separate entities that come together to form a whole, and Dunnum’s argument often relies on the works of Louis Althusser to expand…

HOLY which is applied in the concept of time not to space. We can see a higher order of creation represented by each day of creation with humankind at the top of the chain of command. God speaks worlds into existence, and step by step we see the original good and right use of power. God does it in order of creation. We can see the omnipotence of God from these creations. He did the following in Genesis 1. The first…

Under the enlightenment of conversion Saint Augustine opens up his famous autobiography, Confessions, with an exclamation to God, “you have made us for yourself, and our heart is restless until it rests in you” (I. i. 1). The sentiment, while spoken to the Lord, is really directed at the readers on whom he hopes to impart his wisdom. Starting from his physical birth on Earth and ending with his spiritual birth into Christianity, St. Augustine weaves together a narrative in nine books using…

To Paul of Tarsus, the Law is less important compare to faith which he believes can bring salvation to everybody. According to Paul, all people are sinners. The way people become sinners not only because people have original sin but also for various reasons.
