Receiving a vaccine trains your body to fight off a disease. Similarly, training America’s youth to handle difficult situations can prevent future problematic situations. The second part of Benjamin Franklin’s quote says, “Wise and good men are in my opinion, the strength of the state; more so than riches or arms.” This quote references the quality of men that are in a country, and how a single man can make a greater difference than any amount of riches or arms. Riches and arms are only temporary things, but a good man has a more lasting impact. One of the greatest examples of a “good man” is Martin Luther King Jr. which is a name recognized throughout the world.
“Explain the Judeo- Christian concept of God as a law-giver and judge” God loves and cares for his creation because of this he creates rules in order for his creation to live together harmoniously. Judaeo-Christians have many views about God as law giver and judge. Firstly God can be seen as Law giver in Exodus 20 when God is said to have revealed the 10 commandments to Moses, but the Children of Israel have just been warned that if they approach him directly, he may break out against them and kill them. In this story it God is seen as omnipotent and the presence of Him is a mortal danger and threat. He gives direct commands to Moses and Moses obeyed God's orders despite personal danger and overwhelming odds.
Men like John from “The Yellow Wallpaper” and Sykes from “Sweat” are examples of how this typically happens, especially in marriage. For years men have been raised to believe they are stronger and better than females, this is not to say that woman have not done their share in allowing this type of behavior. So when the need for control and superiority arises in the male-who easier to fulfill that need then your submissive, inferior spouse? Even though John and Skyes have different means of controlling their spouses, Skyes being both mentally and physically abusive and John being psychologically abusive, they both radiate the typical domineering male. John’s feelings of superiority do not allow him
Secular worldviews often see human relationships as self-serving with an ultimate goal of getting ahead of the other person for bettering on oneself. In contrast, a biblical worldview of human relationships seeks to serve others first and place God above all else. Romans 2:8 speaks on the ultimate fate for the “selfishly ambitious” who do not obey the Word of God. Throughout the Bible, there are several instances of the ultimate human relationship found in Scripture. For example, Mark 12:31 states, “ …’You shall love your neighbor as yourself,’” as Jesus’ proclamation of human relationships with one another and God.
When Eggers tone isn’t adoring it can be very condescending of others. This shows through mostly when he is comparing his family consisting of Toph and himself to other more “traditional” families. He refers to himself and Toph as the model family, the new and better version even. He puts down other families’ ways of running their households and raising their kids while boasting about how wonderful he and Toph are. Eggers is very determined to make sure of this.
This helps him find a way to cope with them may help you understand yourself more effectively. John is a man of strong moral beliefs any way he or she look at him, concerned only for the safety of his family and personal welfare. John Proctor is a big and strong man. He’s a man that everyone in the town looked up to. He is a loving husband, a hard working farmer, a proud father, and most important a faithful Christian.
Cultures that practice polygamy use their wives as their symbol, they are responsible to do hard manual labor, please their men intimately, and bear children. The telling subtext is that it is the husband who makes the moral choices here, the wives who are the recipients of treatment, fair or unfair, invidious or even handed. Relativists will say that romantic love and companionate marriage are recent inventions, culture-bound and fraught with troubles of their own. (Goodman, 2010, pg. 91) I also disagree with incest, it doesn’t matter what culture you are from or how much you are in love, and incest is an abomination to God.
Indulgence Comes With Strength In society, the actions of more powerful people are tolerated and respected. One has once said, “The strong do as they wish.” This quote can be proved by the actions of characters in the novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. For example, Huck’s father who has authority over Huck engages in violent acts and is somehow tolerated. Furthermore, the power of superstition allows for a slave named Nat to rise to stardom and Tom Sawyer, who is seen as morally powerful, is worshipped by Huck. Not only does physical strength allow the characters act as they desire, but also moral strength and the age in society.
Textual Study: True Religion And True Affections Topics of Religion and Affections are deeply connected for Jonathan Edwards who writes, “The Author of the human nature has not only given affections to men, but has made them very much the spring of men’s actions...And as true religion is of practical nature, and God has so constituted the human nature, that the affections are very much the spring of men’s actions, this also shows, that true religion must consist very much in the affections” (Kerr, p. 199). This is the central theme of Edwards article. True religion is of a practical nature! This is a great line that explains the intent of Jesus to create the church here on earth. Affections are part of human nature and Edwards believed that increasing our awareness about the importance of right affections increases human’s ability to practice religion.
First, the position of man — and I use this term as it was used at that time, but by using it we are to refer to men and women — the position of people is elevated. Humans are no longer “worm” as the Puritans would say, but rather they are God’s worthy creatures. If Christ died for men and women, then we are obviously valuable. Thus we have the beginning of the elevation and ennobling of the ‘common man” in American History. There was a further implication resulting from this newly elevated status; before The Great Awakening, the emphasis was on God; now the emphasis is on people’s response to God.
