BUSI520: Integration of Faith and Learning: Character Jennifer L. Johnson Liberty University Dr. Coleen James August 23, 2014 One of the virtues that can be found within the pages of the Bible is that of having a firm, yet godly character. When one examines a business, it should also have a firm character. Romans 12:2 is a verse that supports this point. “Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is- his good, pleasing, and perfect will.” Paul was speaking about how as Christians, we should not strive to follow the mold of society, but rather follow the will of the Lord.

In most paragraphs he uses at least one allusion that the clergymen can compare his or their opinion to. For another example, “Just as the prophets did…’thus said the Lord’…just as Apostle Paul did…I am compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my own home town” (204). Allusions are the best approach in this letter because he makes a lot of references to religious figures, which the clergymen can also show respect for and dare not go against what they have done or said. This also sets a tone of brotherhood between Martin Luther King and the clergymen because of them both being men of theology. But on the other hand using these figures to guilt
Wilson Ayala Mr. Roccanova Comedy & Satire 14 October 2011 Religion the Problem and Solution for Everything “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen. Not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.” This quote by the famous author C. S. Lewis describes exactly how I feel about my religion. My religion helps me see the world clearly and gives everything life meaning. Religion can be split into one of two basic groups, polytheistic religions in which someone worships multiple gods and monotheistic religions in which the follower worships only one single God. Wouldn’t it be nice and easy if that were it, and that’s what religion is all about?

He was killed for standing up for what he believed in, which was helping the poor and Jesus Christ. The speech really moved me and I would suggest for others to read this as well. It taught me how powerful God and the church is, and by believing in Him, you will be lead in the right direction. Work Cited Mills, Frederick B..

The mood that the reader feels is an empathetic, yet understanding of what he feels needs to be accomplished. Especially how he made unique, yet valid, references to religion to strengthen his ideas was beneficial to the idea of equal treatment that he is, in general, trying to convey. Aside from Dr. King’s explanation of civil rights and why it should be distributed among everyone, comes a different type of text from Abel Meeropol. She wrote the poem, Strange Fruit in the 1930s and it is one of the most interesting displays of metaphorical language to discuss a serious issue in society. The three stanza poem uses vocabulary that one would normally associate with nature to inform the readers and listeners of the poem about the harshness and reality of lynching in the southern states of America during the
I think that Bono retains some credibility for speaking about religion and his faith in God but not an extensive amount. I believe an actual religious leader would be understandably more credible. For example, the Pope would be much more believable and have a much stronger ethos than Bono when speaking on a topic like religion. Bono’s initial credibility stems from his ethos and background; a persona built upon fame and a recognizable public icon. Bono relies on this image as credibility to back up his speech.
From a Christian viewpoint most ethicists criticize self-interest as a ‘narrow’ view that could ingeniously embrace harmful selfishness. Do we agree with them? Though we consider its importance as a primary motive for acting in market economical and political affairs, we argue that ethical standards basically require a moral outlook that goes beyond the dominant self-interest model. Since most people have both a benevolent and self-interested attitude, we view self-love as indispensable for cooperation and social behaviour. Christian love essentially unites persons with the ontological good – originated from God – and transforms the self to be concerned both for oneself and the good of others on the level of identity.
The idea of helping people and showing favor to the less fortunate comes from some religions but especially Christianity, and social work is the career that makes this happen. With social work and psychology being similar it is hard for someone who is deciding on a career in helping improve humans to choose between the two. Explanation of some of the most popular careers in social work and psychology will give a more understanding of how they contrast. Looking up social work and psychology in The World Book Encyclopedia provides information on the major fields and what they offer.
