Traditionalism

will be more likely to experience abuse. Couples in which the wife or female partner has a higher education, a higher employment status, and a higher occupational status are more likely to experience abuse and violence. This could be because of traditionalism in which people believe that the woman should stay home and take care of the children instead of work. Sletzer and Kalmuss (1988) look into why spousal abuse happens, if something in the past or present is affecting marital violence.…

Carole King and Carly Simon are two of very few female individuals who played critical roles in the popular music scene from the 1950s-1970s. As young women, King and Simon were limited by the social norms of relationships between men and women and stereotypes and expectation for women. While they came from dissimilar backgrounds that yielded different paths to success, it was the claiming of their independence as artists and women that helped them come into their own and allowed them to create…

contemporary schools of thought portray him as nothing more than a prophet, with today’s followers granting him as much reverence as the other prophets, though nowhere near as much as that given to the prophet Muhammad. Likely due to the currents of traditionalism, modern Tafsir and Islamic scholarship (the last 100 years), has turned to history in order to trace the different kinds of thought and customs which played a hand in making the Quran. In doing so, it is also looking into the…

is a prime Scripture passage for complementarians to see that men and women do share different roles—this is how God created them. The father being the head of the home and the wife being in submission or subordination to him brings a sense of “traditionalism” or “hierarchy” as many who hold to this view would say. Though offensive to many who do not hold this view, especially feminists, complementarians do not mind their traditional ways and lifestyle. In addition to their article on…

It is no secret that religion plays a major role in the mindsets of a large portion of U.S. citizens. In fact, “Prior research demonstrates that religion and gender traditionalism are associated with less favorable attitudes toward same-sex unions because of its deviation from customary religious doctrine and traditional patterns of gender behavior.” (Whitehead, 479)[2]. This means that because the norm in America is gender…

The Diary of a Madman, written by Lu Xun, is about a man overcome with a horrible sickness and changes his way of seeing the world. This story was published in 1918 and takes place in China. One confusing element of this story is who the true author is. Since this is a story from a diary written by a madman, is the madman the author or the one who published it. Since numerous people would consider this story fiction would that indicated that in fact the author is not mad and cannot be taken at…

Globalization is by no means a new phenomenon. One can argue that its existence can be traced back thousands of years to cross cultural interactions that took place before the Silk Roads. However, the rate and scope of globalization has accelerated rapidly in the past several decades with the onsets of new technologies. Nationalism is inherent. Humans have always derived some degree of identity and security from their cultural traditions, heritage, and nationality. This does not change with the…

INTRODUCTION The practice of shock-and-awe is an important part of the United States military practices. To display such spectacular force and power that it will make the opponents want to drop their guns and flee is exactly what was intended from the use of atomic bombs. While the Japanese were the literal militant targets of the bombs, one may argue that the real reason for these attacks was the growing influence of the Soviet Union. The saving of potential lives is just a positive aspect…

worldviews would help me create a contrast between what I did and did not believe, and if I could find the truth of Christianity which had been eluding me for so long. In this course, I found that the topics of Classical Christian Theism, Deism, Traditionalism, New Age Philosophy, and Postmodernism had all influenced my own, current understanding. And, through studying these, I realized how I had arrived at my current beliefs, and how to continue my journey for truth. Growing up, Classical…

During the realization of the new socio-meaningful and personal life goals, each person and society as a whole deal with tough tasks, namely to be able to analyze current events, be tolerant to a point of view on current events, consider suggestions as hypotheses need to be tested, and abandon those that do not stand up to this test, and develop position to a critical attitude toward you and the world around (Cottrell, 2011). Critical thinking is the key to the spiritual health of society and…
