In Chapter 5 of his book, A Critical Introduction to the Study of Religion, author Craig Martin introduced the topic of legitimation. In the chapter, Martin defines legitimation by stating that “legitimations offer some sort of justification for conformity to a practice, and they often involve appeals to what gods say.” (94). Legitimation has played a role in everyone’s lives at one point or another. Whether it be that one’s been urged to complete a task “because God says so” (Martin, 94) or…
Throughout human history, our species lived in groups – and not just because people are sociable beings, but because living together increases the chance of survival. Ideally, community provides protection against a constantly changing environment – or at least, tries to ease the hardships caused – and acts as a ’safety net’ in case of members being less well-off than the majority. However, theory does not entirely match reality, as evident in the situation of the poorest in modern societies. As…

Cell division is a complex biological method in which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells, depending on whether or not that division is mitosis or meiosis. For simple one-cell organisms, like amoebas, archaea and protozoa, single cell division, mitosis, is akin to reproduction. For multicellular organisms, meiosis produces four haploid daughter cells by undertaking a single round of DNA replication, shadowed by two more cellular divisions. In all, the principal purpose of cell…
Homeric Gods Summary Professor Anderson gave a lecture on Homeric gods. There are many ways to explain the start of the universe, but many people use religion to frame the world. The Greeks were one of many cultures to create hundreds of gods to help explain natural causes. She started her lecture by explaining the historic evidence behind Greek’s beliefs. During Homer’s time, everyone was polytheistic except for the Jews. Because of this, the Jews had bad relations with the rest of the world.…

equality was present. African Americans were never treated as equals to white people. Nothing was ever shared equally. Even a water fountain was separated for African Americans and whites.

The most simple of things were segregated. African Americans always got the worst of whatever it was that was…
