Question 1: Anne Hutchinson was a threat to Puritan society in a combination of ways that other dissenters were not, which is the reason she was banished. The Puritan society in Massachusetts was established not so that people can exercise freedom of religion, but only so the Puritans can freely exercise their religion. These were a very intolerant people of any one else’s religious belief; and, their leaders did everything possible to keep other religions from prospering. Their main belief was that the entire community had to follow God’s laws as interpreted by their leaders and if they did then God would reward them. However, if the entire community did not follow God’s laws then the entire community would be punished.
What social phenomena are neglected from this perspective? The conflict model of society focuses on competition instead of cooperation, which inevitably leads to conflict. 3. What are the potentially divisive forces in society? Religion almost always forms divisions among societies, and that is one example demonstrated in this chapter.
Aldous Huxley wrote this novel in order to alarm the society in how technology is going to change our live as we know it. Most of the readers, after the lecture, wonder if our world is actually going to be worst or better in a future, if Huxley is going to be right. But other people with other backgrounds, cultures and knowledge, would have a different interpretation, reaction and understanding of the novel. Christianity believes in the individual who has its rights and liberty, they believe in an equal society in which God is the creator of all people, the world, the universe, and everything seen and unseen. If a Christian read Huxley’s novel, he would be horrified of people’s conditions, and of course wouldn’t even wonder that this future
I would need an additional document from a white family to see how they felt about unifying with the blacks. In King’s Philosophy violence never solves anything. King felt that by taking part in nonviolent acts, such as sit-ins and marches, job opportunities would become more open to the black community (Doc 6). In his statement, “Violence may murder the murderer, but it doesn’t murder the murder,” he is saying that through violence you will never solve the issue you will only add on to it (Doc 8). King feels this way because when black people rebelled against the whites it only fueled more violence to ensue.
It may not be on purpose but everyone does wrong at some point in their life. Everyone does something wrong in some way throughout their lifetime, even if they mean no harm by it. The Poisonwood Bible can be read as a political and religious allegory because at first no one in the Price family wants to accept the change they are going through but over time some of the characters develop and move on from this. Nathan Price, who you would expect to not sin or sin less than the rest of thefamily, actuallly ends up being the one who sins the most. He has physically harmed and emotionally damaged Orelanna and it was a freeing moment for her when she decided to get away from him and take the girl with her.
Practices have changed in both religions, yet the Lutheran and Catholic remain present to this day. Since and before Reformation religions have constantly been changing to meet the ethics of the society that typically holds them and must always change in order to keep the people in the religion for personal or political gain. Although the Catholic and Lutheran reforms had many similarities, there were many differences. In contrast, the Lutheran movement did not believe that rituals and traditions would necessarily make one more likely to get into heaven. Great differences were also evident in the beliefs surrounding salvation.
The major changes first began became of the alteration of the philosophy. People changed their way of thinking; they started to question God, and began to enjoy their life. Even the church has begun the secularism that told people can enjoy worldly lifetime but it’s centered in religion. There was another way of thinking, humanism, where people taught to reach their potential and that human beings were more important than supernatural power. However, the secularism started to change to humanism, people didn’t want to be servants and please God for their whole lives.
We are not treated as equal, and if this wasn't all, we are insulted as individual and as part of our whole nation. The discrimination of Christians against us happens every day of our lives. Only because we do not believe in the same things we are called devil. They always look at us in
Still today you wonder why people would even think of doing this, but you hear people write stories and documentaries about it all the time. People of today don’t really think of murder as anything because they see it so much on T.V, but should it be that way? If one heard somebody was shot, they would not respond very dramatically, if one were to hear that someone was brutally murdered, it almost seems as if the world is falling apart. It’s funny that these two things are so similar, yet so different. That is what these two stories explain.
Andrew Nunley Sociology Dr. Simmons 12 October, 2013 Breaking the Social Norm “In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” (Martin Luther King, Jr.). I did not know the importance of this quote until I had to break the social norm of communication. In my research project, I tested the reaction of my family, my girlfriend, and my friends by not giving them any sign of communication. This broke up good friendships, it sent my relationship on a downward slope, and my family stopped texting (well that is a positive thing). By breaking this social norm of responding when being talked to, not only showed me who my true friends were, but it also put me in a lot of bad predicaments.
