Furthermore, in order to achieve equality I believe that a greater effort must be given by those in the majority, since the majority has control over many more things than minorities. West agrees when he states that every major institution in American society-churches, universities, courts, academies of science, governments, economies, newspapers, magazines, television, film, and others-attempted to exclude black people from the human family in the name of white suprami .....

The Many Faces Of A Criminal
.... thieves and burglars? Are they are so different from the murderers? Of course not! The severity of the actions may have been totally different from a legal and personal standpoint, but it all roots back to sin and violating our brothers and sisters.
Furthermore, an additional factor that allows a criminal to remain a culprit is their attitudes toward life and society. Criminals appear to approach their day expressing their usual discomfort for being in trouble with the law. Fear turns into rage .....

The Meaning Behind Marriage
.... ceremony that formalizes the decision of a man and woman to live as husband and wife, including the accompanying social festivities" and "the state, condition, or relationship of being married, such as wedlock." I am surprised that none of these dictionaries define marriage with love, happiness, or togetherness. Isn't that what marriage is all about? Wrong. Marriage is about so much more. Marriage is about survival of the fittest. Only the strong survive.
After the immense possibilities of wha .....

The Meaning Of Life
.... which is supposedly God himself, speaking through humans, never directly says that he should be worshipped. This is merely the interpretation of humans, who may be created in God's image with one crucial difference, the need to worship.
Perhaps then, God is after the meaning of life. Imagine a being so powerful as to be able to create and mould the universe, who, like Roman and Greek gods, is only marginally more intelligent than his creations. Perhaps God, in all his ridiculous power, cannot change hi .....

The media has seen spectacular growth since the first daily newspaper for the ‘common man’ was produced on 4 May 1896. ‘The Daily Mail’ was a halfpenny paper of eight pages with advertisements on the front cover and was described as ‘A Penny Newspaper for One Halfpenny’ and ‘The Busy Man’s Daily Journ .....

The Mexican Economy

The Mexican government is broke, citizens unhappy, rebels are itchy, and opposition leaders are gaining influence. All these are ingredients to a bad situation getting worse--without money or influence, the Mexican government is bound to be overrun.
Mexico over the past few ye .....

The Monastery And The Clock
.... and the ability to tell the time.
If for some reason, all the clocks and time measuring devices would suddenly disappear from our lives, we would find ourselves in great chaos. Most of our everyday activities depend on time. How would one know when is the time to wake up and go to school or work? How long does the working day last? When is the time to start working? When is the time to stop and go home? And how about the radio programs, television programming, computers...? All of this would have t .....

The Need For Reason

If you have at least some level of sophistication reason is important. We need to realize as it happens here, there is no use for reason in our society, it is being beaten brutally and thrown out gradually. I mean I recently had an experience with someone who was playing head games with a friend of mine. I asked them why, and they said, “It was a head game.” COME ON USE YOUR BRAIN! Its inside that lump about 2-3 ft .....

The New World

The role of President was the most important. Without a good leader, the project of starting the New World would be impossible. After hours of careful consideration, the presidential role was given to Sitting Bull. The survivors chose Sitting Bull for this position because of the dedication he had always shown to his people. In the past, one of Sitting Bull's biggest concerns was to make sure his people had food and shelter, even during wars and harsh weather (Josephy 98 .....

Nurse and physicians have traditionally operated under the paradigm of physician dominance and the physician’s viewpoint prevails on patient care issues. Collaboration, on the other hand, involves mutual respect for each other’s opinions as well as possible contributions by the other party in optimizing patient care. Collaboration (Gray, 1989) requires that parties, who see different aspects of a problem, communicate together and cons .....

We have evidence of an Israelite tribe, the Benjamites, in Babylonian texts. The Benjamites were nomads on the frontier of its boundaries, and certainly came in contact with Babylonian ideas: culture, religion, and ethics.
