The Mystical Sea
.... a sunset. The sumptuous sound of the tide rushing on the dark sandy beach is like listening to a live performance of a meditation tape. Relaxing in a beach chair, listening to the slow recession of the water regaining strength and becoming louder until the wave crashes again and the cool surf rushes against your warm, sun-burnt feet, can please even the worst of aquaphobias.
Although the sea can intrigue and inspire people, it can also instill and command fear and respect. Hurricanes can produce c .....

Utopias
.... of others. But what if that chance to think was taken away, or else consequences would follow enforced by a “police.” That is the situation in, 1984, where everyone’s thoughts were controlled providing them with no independent nature, but rather allowing them to be brainwashed.

Peoples Temple Settlement In Guyana
.... or function together to maintain the existence of the whole organism or society. We can explain the emergence of the People's Temple by simply using Durkheim's definition of emergence. Durkheim states that emergence occurs from the interrelationship of elements of a simpler or less complex reality and the outcome is a phenomenon at the level of a more complex reality that creates new characteristics (Ashley 117).

Romantism
.... yourself you have to follow your instincts of what you feel right and not what society tells you is right. By doing this society will have a harder time to mold you into what it wants you to think. Another example is the essay “Walden” by Thoreau. In the essay he had moved away from society into a shelter type house to escape about a mile from the town. He wanted to live his life as simple as he could, so he had nothing but what he felt were the necessities. By doing this he found the divine within .....

.... of naturalism" (Geisler 1992:82). As Christians we believe in the historical view of the biblical miracles. Christians believe that the Bible is God's revelation of His involvement int he history of the world. "When God acts in history, He leaves behind His ‘fingerprints'.

The most compelling act recorded in the Bible is t .....
