Casanova and Calhoun from Rethinking Secularism In his article, “The Secular Secularizations, and Secularism,” Jose Casanova attempts to distinguish the various terms deployed when discussing secularism. He defines the secular as “a central modern epistemic category (54),” one that is inherently different from the religious, secularization as the transformation of institutional spaces from the religious into the secular, and secularism as the worldviews and ideologies that uphold and maintain…

of the Texture Criticism. Inspiration and inerrancy apply to the original manuscripts. Our modern-day translations are the Word of God only the extent that they accurately reflect the original texts, which are produced under the inspiration of God (Praxis, pg. 37-38). First, it should be understood that the personality of the human author was incorporated into the pages of scripture. God did not simply dictate the word of Scripture to the human authors, but rather, He used the giftedness and…

Fourthly, a dialectical tactic to comprehending the world is vital; learners need to acquire knowledge and skills on how social relations especially in a capitalist society are dialectically or internally connected. Fifthly, school teachers require methodological approaches that assist them rebuild the historical and social…

In the article, Knowledge and Time in Garcia Marquez’s Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Jacqueline Weaver, she explains how Santiago’s death functions and the connection between the object of historical study and the nature of the method used to examine a moment in time. She expounds on the narrator’s linear experience in the novel and his present state and shifting of his memory while time and truth operate on their own definitive yet changeable way. Weaver claims that the narrator is searching…

disability is a problem that interferes with a person’s ability to learn, speak, think, read and write. I have chosen the learning disability called Dyspraxia, also known as developmental co-ordination disorder (DCD). Dyspraxia comes from the Greek word praxis which means “to practice a function”. Dyspraxia is a motor learning disability that makes it difficult to perform coordinated movements and may deal with problems of thought and language. Dyspraxia affects speech, writing, reading,…

Today in the United States, we trudge through school for a foundation of knowledge in order to get jobs.Therefore, how students are taught in school is vital; it is their lives on the line. The problem, then is that, the way students are taught ruins future learning and provides no such foundation. It is not the first time this problem has been addressed, Paulo Freire spoke about how the banking concept of education dehumanizes the students. It poisons the students so to speak. When you bring…

Rhode Island became a welcoming place for all who fled from religious persecution (Tindall, 47).
