“Who Really Cares: The surprising truth about compassionate conservation” surrounds itself about charity, which comes from the Latin word “caritas”, which means “affection.” I didn’t know that charity had so many in depth meanings until reading this book. Arthur Brooks associate his definition of charity to be monetary and non-monetary, and has to be consensual and beneficial. Nevertheless, I agree with his associations. I feel that charity does not have to solely about giving money, more of…

Richard I was born on September 8, 1157 to Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine. Even though Richard was born in Oxford and had an English king for a father, he saw France as his true home. He was the third of four legitimate sons sired by King Henry, and was much closer to his mother. It was well known that Richard had no chance of inheriting the crown.

Reproductive rights are the subject of extensive debate in capitol buildings and classrooms alike. In fact, just the other week, a friend and I got into a heated argument over the autonomy of a woman versus that of a fetus. My friend believes that a woman's right to make certain choices- namely abortion- end when fertilization occurs. Conversely, I'm very pro-choice for a variety of reasons.

These lessons helped orchestrate a new vision and set them to create an innovative PATH (prayer, attendance, tithes and offerings, and hospitable invitation), and continues today with nearly 1,100 members.
