- 6131: Decisions About Abortion
- Decisions About Abortion I am not really for or against abortion, all I have are opinions about the idea. I believe that it’s not right to have a partial birth abortion, that it should be up to the pregnant woman to decide whether or not she wants to do it, and that men shouldn’t have any say in this. To have a partial birth abortion, to me, is murder. If something has a pulse, and you kill it, I consider it murder. Have you ever thought about what the baby might feel? I haven’t until I read a story that a lady wrote about abortion from the babies point of view. It was saying how the baby girl was in heaven now. One section of it said “The ...

Paul Bäumer, the narrator; enters the war under ... displays these ideas of pain and suffering through ignorance, fear, and inhumanity. Remarque depicts the misconception of war, by capturing the unknowingness that prevents those not fighting the war, from understanding the truth about war s hideous reality. Ignorance, one of the many facets of the people s general understanding of war, causes the formation of a gap between the soldiers and the rest of society. But my father would rather I kept my uniform on so that he could take me ...
- 6134: The Resurrection of Jesus Christ
- ... with 643 manuscripts(McDowell 43). The textual reliability then continues with respect to the time interval between the original and the first known manuscript. The shorter the interval, the more reliable the text is. Homer's "Illiad" was written in 900 BC and the earliest copy was found in 400 BC. This is compared to the New Testament that was written from 40-100 AD. The first known manuscript of the New Testament was found in 125 AD. This twenty-five year gap is very impressive as compared to the Illiad's five hundred year span (McDowell 45). This first test has basically shown that the text which people have in their possession is essentially the original text. The second test is the internal evidence test. The ... at the University of Chicago, states the ability of the writer to tell the truth is helpful in determining credibility. The "ability to tell the truth" is related in two ways. They are the witness's nearness chronologically and geographically (McDowell 51-52). The New Testament accounts were written by men who were eyewitnesses or related the story from eyewitness accounts. Chronologically speaking, the Gospels were all written while people, ...
- 6135: Bodily Resurrection and 1 Corinthians 15: 42-54
- ... resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15: 42-54. As eternity tends to last a long time, believing Christians (even agnostics such as myself) would likely be somewhat eager to arrive at an accurate interpretation of Paul's message found in the above verses, so as to glean insight as to what might await them following their last heartbeat. The approach I will take in analyzing 1 Corinthians: 42-54 will be to ... which was made up primarily of gentiles and was located in Corinth. At the time, Corinth was a highly urbanized and religiously diverse city which made it very conducive to the early Christian movement. Paul's first letter to the Corinthians was written as a response to a letter he had received (which did not survive) from the Corinthians in which Paul was asked to settle various disputes that were arising within the struggling congregation. Writing in apostolic fashion to the congregation he had founded, Paul's letter while pastoral, answered numerous questions and demanded numerous changes ranging from: the rich eating with the poor at the church suppers (11:18-22); to curbing the acceptance of sexual immorality (5:1- ...
- 6136: Friend Green Tomatoes
- ... in many forms, including love between family members, friends, different races, and even the love for oneself, both in the novel Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Frannie Flagg and in one's own life. The first and most basic form of love is found in the family. From the time a child is born, in usual circumstances, that child is loved unconditionally. A person grows up with ... of this, ties within the family are usually quite strong. Take for example the relationship between Idgie and Buddy: Idgie (Imogene), a dare-devilish tomboy, and her older brother Buddy are quite close until Buddy's untimely death. Idgie takes his passing with difficulty: "You never saw anybody hurt so much. I thought she would die right along with him" (Flagg, p.37). Another example of the love felt within a family is Stump (Buddy Jr.), who is Ruth's son, Ruth herself, and Idgie. Stump's father is murdered, and grows up with Ruth and Idgie as his parents. Ruth and Idgie do everything possible to try and keep Stump happy. In fact, ...
- 6137: Assisted Suicide
- ... philosophers have broken down all the reasons of suicides into two different categories, rational suicide and irrational suicide. A rational suicide has been given five basic criteria that usually must be met for the person's act to be considered rational. The five criteria which a person must show for their suicide to be considered rational are, "the ability to reason, realistic world view, adequacy of information, avoidance of harm, and ... it is the best thing for him from the point of view of his own welfare-or whether it is the best thing for someone being advised, from the point of view of that person's welfare"(Brandt 118). People have to characterize suicides because a lot of times they don't understand what that person is going through so by grouping them and placing criteria on them it allows them to accept it in an easier manner. A lot of suicides are grouped in the ...

- Catcher in the Rye Essay "I keep picturing all these kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's big but me.
