Gender Roles In Society Though girls and boys are known to specific “boundaries,” they should not be expected to act completely different from one another. Society puts down females day by day just because they don’t “act like girls.” But what really does it mean to “act like a girl?” Every person, regardless of gender, is a representative of the human race. So, should girls of today be ignored, held to implausible standards, and forced to deny their true personalities? Girls are often ignored and treated differently than guys. In Chapter 5 of Harper Lee’s novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, Scout reflects on her summer and how she spent the majority of it without her brother Jem and their friend Dill.
It all begins with a young girl being born into the world of judgment. Children believe everything they are told. If they are told they are beautiful, they will believe it until someone tells them otherwise. Young girls are impressionable by their mother’s and female counter part’s actions, such as wearing fancy clothes and putting on make-up. In the poem, the speaker states the girlchild has “wee lipsticks the color of cherry candy” (4), showing that she already wants to alter her appearance.
I kept wondering, Jean Louise interrupts my thoughts and asked me, “Are you here for a visit auntie?” I explained to her that I was not intending to visit for a short while, “Jean Louise honey, it is about time you get some feminine influence and I am the perfect woman for this task” I said to her, I fix my bangs and walk into my room. It will be a challenge to make this girl a proper lady with that Calpurnia around, how could Atticus let a nigger look after his only daughter? We have a reputation and I will accept this situation, it is about time I save this family from Calpurnia’s influence nevertheless I must not worry as I am Alexandra the epitome of a true lady and I shall make Jean Louise all about dresses, manners, and boys. Next morning I wake up and go to the kitchen to have some breakfast and I was astonished by the scene that I witnessed, Calpurnia was hugging the children, how could this nigger wrap her arms around the Finch’s children?, if anyone saw what I had just seen our family’s name would be just like chewing gum, our story would be in everyone’s mouth. I am going to have a discussion with Atticus about this peculiar relationship between a nigger and the Finch’s.
1. Enlightenment: “She wasn’t even angry.” (32) Realization: “A feeling of sudden newness and change came over her.” (32) Jody Starks embodies her imprisonment. 1. Suppressed personality: “Janie loved the conversation and sometimes she thought up good stories on mule, but Joe had forbidden her to indulge.” 2.

Only he can redeem, justify, and sanctify us, and we need all three for our salvation. So we understand that our nature is sinful, but through Jesus we can win the battle against our flesh. Paul wrote that through the law we come unto the knowledge that we are sinful. We understand that through the work of the law, that we cannot be justified in the sight of God. We must know that we are justified by grace apart from any works in the
In order to receive salvation, one must have faith in the word of God and “preach Christ”. To “preach Christ” is to teach and minister about Jesus, who He is and what He did. Luther clearly tells us that no works can bring about salvation. He depicts an ideal Christian as one with great faith in God’s Word. In order to live a Christian life, one must look to Christ and place faith in Him.
Christianity teaches that people should not work on the day of Sabbath as God himself didn’t and that it should be the day of rest. However, Jesus didn’t follow these rules and decided to do the most loving thing and heal a sick person on this day even though he wasn’t supposed to. Some could argue that situation ethics and its ideas about love fit into Christian theology perfectly because even Jesus broke rules to do the most loving thing possible. Johns part of the gospels state that “God is love” and from this we can interpret that Christians must live their lives by trying to be Omnibenevolent and doing the most loving thing in all situations no matter how extreme. Fletcher incorporated the quote from the gospels into his ethical theory and devised six propositions and four principles.
Journal Entry #1 I believe that the best character that symbolizes a mockingbird is Scout. I think that she best symbolizes a mockingbird because she is an innocent child yet all the adults want to make her more mature since they feel like she does not act like a woman. Scout only wants to play in the dirt and act like a kid but people in the town, especially Aunt Alexandra who moves into the their house to give Scout a feminine influence, do not believe girls should act that way even if they are a child. Scout does no harm to anyone yet the adults are killing her innocence and like Harper Lee wrote, “It is a sin to kill a mockingbird.” The mockingbird symbolizes the innocence that Scout has and the fact that adults are trying to make her
When she met Mrs. Flowers, she noticed all the major and minor details about her. Mrs. Flowers invited her for tea cookies to talk to her about her situation, she said “You must always be intolerant or ignorance but understanding of illiteracy.” That quote means that she should be grateful and understand other people’s opinions. Next, they have a lot of differences, and only a few similarities.
He could legally have a “Christian only” hiring policy as long as he is outside of the criteria of a covered employer. Reviewing Matthew’s hiring policy from the bibles Great Commission perspective, leads me to decision that it is not advisable. Jesus instructs us to: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19, New International Version). To restrict the
