Finally, some could argue that the Church still has a very old fashioned view on some of today’s issues such as; Gay Marriage and Abortion. Therefore they are not keeping up with today’s society. The world around us is changing every
Schooling isn't that important to the Amish because they aren't going to go to college. But, if someone was to try to leave the Amish and come to our society, they are looked down upon and they usually have trouble fitting in. Once you leave the Amish, you are not allowed to come back. The only exception to coming back is if you admit to your wrong doing, then you have to be accepted. It works the same way if Americans were to try to join; they have to give up everything they know and be accepted into the Amish culture.
The difference in the two is that although Amy’s mother did have a hard time speaking the language clearer that the average English speaker she was able to have a language with her family that was English but they had a certain bond with it. Richard Rodriguez on the other hand was told he had to speak English even with his parents but his parents were no more an English speaker than he; so, once he began to understand the language better and speak it with his parents, his parents were the ones
The present society appears to have an identity predicament with the Church, because there is a tremendous amount of self-help propaganda in this society; therefore they simply do not care about a commitment with the Church, but can read about how to be better people in the comfort and safety of their own homes. This concept is safe and they do not open themselves up for disappointment or tedious Church tasks. Billings notes, “Participation in Church life is not seen as crucial for the practice of Christianity, it is the practice of Christianity that British people think important.” (Billings, 2004, p. 104) The British thinking has become a
We were all somehow exposed to different backgrounds, as well as lifestyles. Therefore, it’s safe to say that the statement “Is College for Everyone” doesn’t imply to certain people who were raised to think otherwise. However, Pharinet seems to think that most kids should consider not going to college at all. Pharinet went on to explain how most students will find themselves working full-time jobs to help pay the expenses of college, in result their grades begins to drop. Then the student decides to drop to a part-time worker, register for less class hours to find more time to work on improving their grades.
On the other hand, I disagree with her when she says that people don’t go to church to find God. To someone who doesn’t have a relationship with God, they’re going to have to come to church with an open mind and heart. If they came to church with no God in their heart, then going to church would be sort of pointless. “God is inside you and inside everybody else. You come into the
As well as “The making new friends” challenge. I mean why bother making new friends if you are going to lose them each year? But in the other hand, you should expect (and accept) the diversity of people. What to expect from college is not really something to specific. For example, many of us weren’t really use to studying during high school, mainly because it was so unchallenging.
In most circumstances the society or the government would sought the advice of their most prominent religion in matters of ethics and even the authorisation of policy making. However in a increasingly secular society the role of religion is diminishing and it no longer holds much relevance that it once did. Most of us are guilty of celebrating another’s religious festival without truly understanding the significance of the celebration. For example, my family celebrates Christmas every year despite being born Hindus. We do this by decorating the Christmas tree and exchanging gifts with one another.
The reasons why it should be raised to the age of eighteen are that a lot of people who did not get so much luck in there GCSE’s would get more opportunity to learn and get better results. Also there is more opportunity to achieve higher grades and more varieties of subjects to choose from. Another reason why is that those students who are not as bright as others or that have not paid much attention in their previous school years will get a chance to get their heads down and stick in. The reasons why it should stay at the age of 16 are that People will be urging to get away from school because they have been in it since they were as young as four or five. Another reason why is people who leave home will not be able to work full time so will not be able to get somewhere to live or be able to buy food and clothes.
Making college free would be a handout to many that did not want to go to college and would not take college seriously. A college education should not be free to everyone because going to college is a choice and an investment in ones future; it requires discipline and self -sacrifice with hard work by many. Making college free has been a growing issue between many college students and their parents. Many believe that if college was made free than more students would go and the minority groups would have a better chance at getting educations then they do right now. What many college students and parents know, but do not choose to accept, is that many states have colleges with free or discounted tuition.
