GNED 1202 Texts and Ideas L 001 Plato advocated extreme methods of education. He began by removing children from their mothers care and raising them as wards of the state. Great care was taken to differentiate children suitable to the various castes; the highest receiving the most education, so that they could act as guardians of the city and care for the less fortunate. Plato discusses how stories about Greek Gods: Uranus, Coronus and Zeus, shouldn’t be told to children for their upbringing. He argues that in one of the stories God has sex with her sister, which would damage the upbringing of the child, if told.
Hale is also at the Proctor household because Elizabeth’s name was mentioned in the court and Hale decided he would notify them and take precautions. Hale asks John to say his commandments to prove that he is a Christian man who loves god but when John says his commandments he forgets one. His wife Elizabeth reminds him it is the commandment of adultery. Even though John forgets this commandment and he is guilty of adultery with Abigail Williams,
In this essay I analyze the rhetorical situation of “A Whisper of AIDS” article and her use of pathos, logos and ethos appeal. Almost nineteen years ago, a HIV positive married mother named Mary Fisher steeped out on faith and gave a speech on the effects of AIDS on her and her family at the 1992 Republican National Convention. Her main goal was to not inform the audience at the convention but the world of the silence surrounding the discussion of AIDS. She emphasizes the problems AIDS was causing and the future problems it will cause if we do not educate ourselves about this disease. Mary Fisher uses her own personal HIV diagnosis as a powerful tool to draw in her audience and get her point across.
After the horrible 9/11 attacks in New York City, Ranya Idliby, an American Muslim of Palestinian decent, desperately tries to provide answers for her Muslim children growing up in a dominantly Christian world. She reaches out to Suzanne Oliver, former Catholic who converted to the Episcopal Church, and Priscilla Warner, a Jewish women, to collaborate with them on writing a children’s book on the shared characteristics among their believes. Already at the very beginning, it almost seemed that the project was condemned to failure when Priscilla brought up her story of the Crucifixion of Jesus, but the trio thoughtfully worked through their differences, supporting each other during difficult times, reading one another's scripture, and always
I was taught God did not hate the sinner but he hates the sin, and homosexuality was presented to me as a sin. I was indoctrinated from a very early age that it was a choice to be gay and if you made that choice you were immoral, and would possibly end up in hell. “God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve”, my mentors would joke. It was a sin in my young eyes just to be gay so obviously gay marriage was out of the question. As most kids who have had religion shoved down their throat I didn’t begin to truly question this belief that homosexuality was wrong
One of the most ethical controversial issues being debated now in United States is whether late- term abortion should be banned or not. Most people argued that it is proper to ban late-term abortion. They believe that it is un-ethical and a murder of an unborn child not a right of freedom of choice. It is an immoral act and violates the social and religious norms. On the other hand some people argued that late-term abortion should not be banned because it is necessary to terminate a fetus when the life of the woman is in danger as a result of complicated pregnancy; or when pregnancy result from incest or rape and the woman may be late in finding out that she is pregnant.
Spouting off Bible verses before they even had a chance to realize how foolish it made them appear. This is America, the land of hypocrites. Most of the time the same people who say homosexuality and interracial relationships are an abomination are forgetting that Christ told them not to judge one another. To this day we still have this issue… as someone in an interracial relationship it’s inescapable. If our government is waiting for our people to remain silent on homosexual marriage before legal action is made, then we will be waiting
11/17/11 Franklin's essays Topic 2 "The Speech of Polly Baker" seems to be aimed as a direct shot to the traditional Puritan lifestyle and beliefs we've previously read about. Miss Polly Baker is being accused of having her fifth child without marriage, all bastard children. A practice that resulted in harsh punishments towards the woman, often public punishment. In Polly Baker's speech she often takes satirical shots at this tradition, stating that she feels this punishment unreasonable and severe against her especially. Her claims that her bringing forth five fine children into a civilization that encourages new people is a contradiction to the prosecutions being bought upon her.
Negroes up North have no respect for people. They think they can get away with anything” (132). After being warned by her mom to pretend she did not know about Emmett, Ann is forced to suppress her feelings of anger towards the white people who committed this act. However, she also starts to feel resentment grow for the colored people who pretended to not care about his death. This anger at the Caucasian race for the inequality of the races eventually spurred Ann to join the NAACP, a group put together to fight racism and fight for equal rights.
