- 14101: Christian Morality
- ... that sin victimizes persons and corrupts minds, but theology portrays sin as being subjectively arbitrated by God and therefore in need of being interpreted by those who speak for God. The fatalism left the world's moral analysis with a large gap in it. The gap is in the abstract basics. Basics are the realities upon which other realities depend. They create the bedrock of all subjects. This website defines the ... theologians do not understand the abstractions of morality. They use religion to rationalize the subconscious forces which cause sin rather than overcome them. What is often not accepted about morality is its objective origins, it's social significance and the related human responsibilities. While some of it is obvious and cannot be denied, it is not in the theology. For example, bigotry, elitism, jealousy, domination, exploitation and oppression are not corrected ... or arbitrary. Quite the contrary, it is invariable. It has origins in objective reality, which is the same for everyone. But there are also elements of it that are beyond human minds. One of Christ's primary purposes was to describe essential elements of the truth which humans could not determine. The undeterminable elements of truth are the nonbasic (perceivable) specifics. Being nonbasic, they cannot be determined through logic. By ...
- 14102: Crabs For the Crabber
- ... All it takes is a little time and effort to learn the basic steps, and, of course, the love of the water. For the last two years, I have kept the books for my boyfriend's crabbing business. I helped him from the beginning when we purchased the traps to today, when he is now running 150 traps. On the boat, you should always have as many life jackets as people ... in handy if your boat is stuck in mud, or if the boat breaks down in the small creeks near your dock. I also recommend that you have crabbing gloves and rubber overalls from Boater's World. The gloves have special rubber tips that help reduce the pain if a crab pinches you. The overalls will protect your clothes from getting drenched and muddy. The last thing that you should never ... you bring bait to put in the traps while you have them out of the water. When you get to your first trap, put it on the wench and let it pull it up. Don't get discouraged if there are not a lot of crabs. Dump the crabs in a box, put fresh bait in the trap, and throw the trap back out. Go through the crabs in the ...
- 14103: Definition of "Power"
- ... corrupted the government. No attempt was made to stop this by the Germans, because of the control he had. People were either scared to stop this, or were brainwashed into believing it. Finally the U.S. had to step in and try to stop Hitler, and World War II broke out. But power is not all bad though. As was stated earlier, it is necessary in any group of people, and ... In every league, every player wants control. They want what they think should happen (during games), to happen. Recently, in the NBA, Dennis Rodman took this struggle to an extreme. In disagreement with an official's call, Rodman head-butted the official, and through a temper- tantrum on his way off the court. Quite obviously, this is bad. Every player in the league agrees to the rules set by the NBA ... the beginning. The rules are made to keep control, and the officials have power to enforce these rules. If there were no regulations, players would be doing whatever they wanted whenever they wanted. If Rodman's antics would have taken place somewhere other than a basketball court he probably would be in trouble with the law. If he were to argue with a police officer, for example, the same way ...

- ... distribution. Some anthropologists say that ancient strains of grain were not really good for making bread. Early wheat made heavy, pasty dough. Flour made from barley made crumbly, lousy bread. It was determined that humankind's first agricultural activity was growing barley. Forty percent of the grain harvest in Sumeria was converted to ale. The laws pertaining to beer in ancient times were very strict. The Code of Hammurrabi in Babylon ... Ramses II was said to have consecrated over half a million jugs of it to the gods. In the Nile region beer was flavored with lavender, date, cedar, nutmeg, sugar, and probably hops. The bible's references to unleavened bread suggest that the isolation and deliberate use of yeast was known at the time of Moses. A professor even wrote that beer is mentioned in the book of Exodus as one ... or grenadine, and can still be found in some European beers today. In the Renaissance period brewing was mostly done by kings and monks. Home brew was the drink of mostly lower classes. It wasn't uncommon for children to drink beer on a daily basis. The fermentation process was very useful to destroy many malignant microorganisms in the distinctly undrinkable waters of most villages (7). As the reformation came ...
- 14105: A "Full House" in the "Hand" of Education
- A "Full House" in the "Hand" of Education Imagine living in a world where there are no means of education. The very thought of this would be enough to send one into shock. Fortunately, America's colleges and universities offer a variety of educations in various settings. College professors can find some valuable insights on education from Cardinal Newman, Dr. bell hooks, Dr. Mike Rose, as well as Gwendolyn Brooks and ... principles on which it rests, the scale of its parts; its lights and its shades, its great points and its little, as the student otherwise cannot apprehend them--a Liberal education(41). In Cardinal Newman's view, professors should encourage students to go to a University because it not only is best for them, but it enables them to play a key roll in their society. A University aims at raising ... University that precisely sets them apart from others. Perhaps looking at Dr. bell hooks' views will give college professors yet more factors to consider when thinking about educational advise for students.

Her purpose is to motivate students to get an education because her own was ...

Then, there was a big flash of light, and the T.V. went blank. I had no idea of what just happened! I tried to call my girlfriend, Ziggy, back in the torch, but nobody answered. I was worried. I ran at warp speed to get to the stadium. When I finally got there, there was the ship like I saw on the T.V. I was amazed! Then, slowly a little door opened on the side. I turned into a swimming flipper so what ever or who ever just opened that door would not be suspicious. All of ... do came out. I saw those kinds of people before, but not in real life. It was Professor Weirdo! I had read in our local newspaper, The Torch Times that he had dissapered and hasn't been seen in over two years. And he was just a few feet away from me!

- ... it was his or her right to take vengeance on the person that had wronged them. This mentality still exists, even today, but in a lesser form because the law has now outlined a person's rights and developed punishments that conform to those rights, yet allow for the retribution for their crime. However, some feel that those laws and punishments are too lax and criminals of today take advantage of ... defined simply as the death penalty for a crime, were outrageous. This leads to the reason that capital punishment should be legal in all states. Amendments were made to reflect the changes in the society's views on the morality of capital punishment. That resulted in the narrowing down of the list of one hundred crimes to twelve, punishable by the death penalty in 1833, and in 1869 it was cut ... death penalty. The federal cabinet continued to commute those criminals from death to life sentences, hence the law was not being followed and justice was not being served.

- ... reported negative side-effects. Various studies have claimed that cannabis destroys brain cells. However, several other studies found no structural or neurochemical atrophy in the brain at all.

Wu et al. found a correlation between cannabis use and low sperm counts in human males ... function, it has never been reported to cause a single instance of lung cancer. Tobacco, though, is expected to kill 400,000 people this year. If cannabis is so much more dangerous to a user's lungs than tobacco and is so much more carcinogenic, why aren't there stacks of reports of cannabis-induced lung cancer? One interesting theory is that it's because tobacco tars are significantly radioactive, while marijuana tars aren't at all. Winters found that a pack- ...
