Universalism

Greece, and early philosophers. Early psychology essentially focused on measuring and understanding the mind. I believe the ideas of presentism, historicism, dualism, monism, nativism, empiricism, mechanism, vitalism, rationalism, irrationalism, universalism, and relativism and the approaches to writing history such as, the Zeitgeist approach, great-person approach, and historical development approach are among the most profound concepts contributing to the rise of psychology. I believe the…

Patriarchy has been defined in a variety of ways, initially set out as a concept by Millett in 1970 (cited in Bryson, 1999), and later fully developed by Walby in Theorizing Patriarchy (1990). However, the concept was widely critiqued, and fell into dis-use, although it has been the subject of attempts to re-position it as an academic concept (e.g. Hunnicutt, 2009). This essay aims to discuss the prevalent accepted definition of patriarchy, and the criticisms made of it, before analysing more…

educate people about their rights. If the state is unwilling or unable to educate its population then the international community must step in to take the lead. Jennifer Corrin touches on the topic of education in her article “Cultural Relativism vs. Universalism: The South Pacific Reality” when she sums up by saying “[e]ducation…plays an important role in ensuring human rights protections have practical force” (Arnold 122). Although Corrin is referring specifically to people in the Solomon…

a conflict of value, norms, and practices arises. As a cosmopolitan, Appiah has indicated clearly that disagreements emerging due to the collision of cultures can be addressed by subscribing to numerous wildfires. He strongly indicates that the Universalism approach to globalization has risks since counterproductive outcomes are created. I strongly agree with his argument that guarding the local culture does not favor the people of that culture. Protectionism is not a good practice as it only…

I understand to do theology is to think systematically about the fundamental ideas of Christianity. It is an intellectual reflection on the act, content and implications of the Christian faith. Theology also helps me to better understand Christian doctrine, to make comparisons between Christianity and other religions, to defend Christianity against objections and criticism and to draw on the resources of the Christian tradition to address contemporary situation. I note that it is impossible…

Sydney Owenson’s The Missionary asserts the universalism of Western culture and how the East is similar to the West but slightly different, as a way to make conversions to Christianity more successful. Although the text aims to portray a more neutral stance, it actually prioritizes the West when it attempts to bridge the gap between the two sides by saying that “Chrishna” is the “Indian Apollo,” not realizing that this views the East through a Western lens rather than allowing it to exist on its…

epics, royal annals, and chronicles. The reason this information was gathered is not known, but we realize it was not human self-knowledge. Oswalt then elaborates on the reasons there is no history writing in the ancient Near East. In the worldview of continuity, the idea of focus on now, subjective orientation, multiplicity of causes, determinism, and preoccupation with order and security are the reasons for the absence of history writing. The Bible has a significant difference in history…

Current daycare costs far exceed the income of parents, leading them to resort to alternative care providers. The introduction of a pilot program may resolve space shortages, but may also hold potential as revealed in McLaren, Zarrabi, Dutton, Auld, & Emery’s 2012 article regarding the association between care type and change in childhood obesity. With slight adjustments, the pilot project could influence greater health outcomes than initially anticipated. In November 2016, Albertan Premier,…

Aisha bint Abu Bakr – Figure of a Woman Drawn by Men How could one woman be so many different things to so many different people? Here a tool to delegitimize Muslims, there a traitor and an adulteress, over there the most visible of the Mothers of the Believers— Aisha bint Abu Bakr is, with the possible exception of Mohammed himself, the most controversial figure in early Islam. For many in the West, Aisha is just a story of a woman without a name. “Did you know Mohammed had a nine year old wife…
