Ancient Greek Culture, Religion, and Customs In ancient times, the Greeks had absolute and undeniable respect for their gods. They demonstrated their admiration by putting in place many rituals and celebrations to reverence the gods that they loved and feared in order to ensure harmony with them. Ancient Greek culture was melded by their religion and the customs performed to appease the Gods. Examples of how religion affected their way of include the way they prayed, the sacrifices they gave to the gods, and the festivals and games they had to honor the Gods. These aspects of their culture made a significant contribution to their quality of life.
The singleness and agreement of God was greatly emphasized by the Jews and Muslims. However, Christians’ pronouncement of the singleness of God is most of the times misunderstood, for the reason that Christians believe in the Holy Trinity which doesn’t show defiance of monotheism but a declaration of the involvedness of the Divine Being. These three religions consider God as the beginning and cause of everything we see around us. They also believe that God is a caring God that is concern to all human beings. God is morally correct and has given us commandments that will help all of us live in a life that is according to his likeness.
Many believe McCandless was indeed selfish, because McCandless abandoned his family to quench his own selfish thirst. In retrospect McCandless family dynamic was not peaches and cream. McCandless was pushed toward transcendentalism, when the families’ secrets where unveiled. McCandless’ father essentially fathered two families, which drove McCandless to the conclusion, that his life had been one big lie. In retaliation of abuse and deception, McCandless fled to find truth.
A) Explain what is meant by sanctity of life (25) The Sanctity of life approach to ethics refers to the sacredness of human life, it sees our existence as a gift we should cherish and not wish to take away. The basic argument holds that God is the creator of life, people are made in or the image of God (image dei), that taking life is intrinsically evil and unborn life is to be protected. Proponents of this argument believe that all life is sacred, worthy of respect and reverence and is intrinsically worthwhile, and so people therefore have a duty to preserve it. This concept does not consider circumstances of the individual involved, even extreme situations where someone may be suffering from a disease with very little or no quality of life, proponents of the argument would respond by saying euthanasia would not be acceptable in such a circumstance as it may disrupt God’s plans for the individual. Because of these strict principles, the Sanctity of life is Absolute.
Lowe is the case of a father who wilfully neglected his baby son, the trial judge stated that ‘if guilty or wilful neglect he was also guilty of manslaughter’. However the Court of Appeal quashed the conviction of manslaughter as there has to be an act. Due to the father failing to carry out his duty he was in fact omitting, he wasn’t an act. So he was convicted of Gross Negligence manslaughter. Gross Negligence manslaughter is committed where the defendant owes the victim a duty of care but breaches that duty in a very negligent way, which results in causing the death of the victim.
Lastly, take a look at the punishments corresponding to the law broken. Law 195 says “If a son has struck his father, his hands shall be cut off”.Yes, that’s a horrid thing to do to your father, but it’s too extreme to have your hands cut off and it’s also cruel. There are scenarios where a son could have accidentally hurt their fathers, and there are also scenes where children regret it. Giving them a life without hands is basically killing them. We do everything with our hands.
This not only states that the laws are supported by the god but also says that Hammurabi is recognized by the deity to enforce these laws as the rightful ruler. Also on the stele is the Code of Hammurabi, which is the set of laws Hammurabi received from the god.

But in this section we see a first hand look at the reasons for why Claudius may have commit the murder. I could just say he wanted to be king so got rid of his brother. To the general interpretation that is correct. When you look past that general and basic thinking and analyze more. Claudius openly admits to the sin he has committed “of those effects for which I did the murder” but also says that his fault has passed.
As the rioter stated that they are brothers that would defend each other, their intentions were nothing but good. They portray themselves as three men who truly care for one another, and who want to accomplish something good. Later in the same dialogue, the rioter says, “And we will kill this traitor Death, I say!/Away with him as he has made away/With all our friends,” (96-98). Chaucer now emphasizes how the rioters intend on avenging the deaths of their friends, by killing “Death” himself. Chaucer points this out in order to allow readers to understand that the rioters did have good intentions to begin with.
