Hard work pays, hence I will do my best in every opportunity accorded to me. I believe in the existence of a powerful supreme God, who controls the whole universe and the occurrences in it. I am subject to this God, and hence in my interactions with others I will maintain peace and harmony. Life is sacred, and I will do all in power to preserve it, while maintaining the comfort of my patients. All men are equal, have rights, and will be treated with respect, regardless of their color, race, and religious beliefs or social
[and] that in the acceptance of this duality lay their strength, that in this, precisely, lay their means of defining and controlling the world in which they lived" (pp. 42-43). To what extent does this reflect Baldwin's own experience, as reported in these books, and what he has to say about black-white relationships, on every level? In Nobody Knows My Name, "Princes and Powers," Baldwin writes: "As a black Westerner, it was difficult to know what one's attitude should be toward three realities which were inextricably woven together in the Western fabric. These were religion, tradition, and imperialism .
Dear diary Today i analized story ¨things fall apart¨, and I investigated about one special character and how is he related to others. This main character is called Ikemofuna. He plays an important role in the plot of the story. On the other hand we found characters such as Nwoye and Okonkwo who are developed through their relations with Ikemofuna.

The main focus in life is God, and their goal is to break completely away from the Church of England because it is believed to be corrupt. The Puritans, which are people who wish to purify the church from within, left England for
2nd Analysis – Mandate of Heaven vs. The Divine Right of Kings By Krista Lawler HSY 235 Mr. McElroy March 17, 2008 The Mandate of Heaven vs. The Divine Right of Kings – Compare & Contrast The Divine Right of Kings and the Mandate of Heaven our very similar yet very different political theories and writings. The Divine Right of Kings claimed that kings were answerable only to God and it was sinful for their subjects to resist them. This would later be called absolutist theory.
ROLE AND DUTIES OF THE KIN (ANGLO-SAXON SOCIETY) Since the beginning of time, each and every individual in society has had some sort of responsibility over someone or something. Kings are responsible for their subjects; Parents responsible for their children, landowners are responsible for their land and so on. Biblical records, which the Anglo-Saxon society grew to later build upon says that every member of society is responsible for each other. “Thou shall not covet they neighbor’s house, thou shall not covet they neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor hiss, nor any thing that is they neighbor’s. (King James Version, Exodus 20.17).
You can be man, woman, child, white, black, brown, or purple, but God is the deciding factor. Walker now rejects the idea that black people must obey a white human master. Walker says that the only master black people have is God himself and not the white society. Furthermore, he brings light to the fact that the white community will also have to answer to God for their acts of violence. Walker’s claims were interrupted into a Christian worldview.
Thomas More takes the side of the church and follows the idea that God judges the consciences of all, and if one is against God, then that person could be considered evil. “More went to his death as he said on the scaffold, “the king’s good servant and God’s first” ( Lahr). More believes that following God is the only way to go even if it resulted to death. More decides to stay true to his own beliefs and his own conscience based off of what is morally right under the law of God. This shows that in the Renaissance times, evil was viewed by what beliefs that people had in God, and the conscience and beliefs of the King are considered evil under what God laid down as
Overall the Puritans were a religious group with a core of specific beliefs that are at the essence of the Puritan Faith. Those two beliefs are the belief that man is predestined or divided into two groups, the damned and the elect. The second core belief is that of free grace versus a doctrine of works. This means that man cannot save himself by changing his ways and doing good deeds. Instead it means than humanity is only saved by the free grace and mere good will of God and that whosoever believes in Christ and has faith may escape Hell.
Reflection Paper 1: Sin Nature and Prophecy Fulfilled February 13, 2014 This paper will be my reflection of our sinful nature and the fulfilled prophecy. Sinful nature is something we are born with, everyone is guilty of sin at birth. Fulfilled prophecy is one of the strongest arguments for the Christians that God is real because no man can tell the future. Sinful nature is essentially the desire to do evil. Because of Adam and Eve disobeying God they lost their original righteousness (disposition to do right) which has traveled down through the generations all the way to you and me.
