...Worldview with Five Questions The Biblical Worldview begins with God and can be known through His creation of and revelation to humankind.(Weider & Gutierrez, 2011, p.69) This revelation of God can be described as general revelation or special revelation. General Revelation is known by humans by two methods. The two methods are natural and the creation of men and women in His image. (Weider & Gutierrez, 2011, p.70) General revelation is limited in its scope because of the fall; now humans are separated from God and were limited from their natural ability to know and have that relationship with God. Special revelation is when God makes known vital truths which cannot be known through general revelation. (Weider & Gutierrez, 2011, p. 72) Special revelation is where God reveals himself to us. An example of this is that He spoke to men in dreams and visions (Gen 20, 28). The most significant method of God’s special revelation to humanity is in the Incarnation of the Lord Jesus Christ. (John 1:14). There are five questions that one must be able to answer to identify...

...odd to say this about something people deal with at least three times a day, but food in America has been more or less invisible, politically speaking, until very recently. At least until the early 1970s, when a bout of food price inflation and the appearance of books critical of industrial agriculture (by Wendell Berry, Francis Moore Lappé, and Barry Commoner, among others) threatened to propel the subject to the top of the national agenda, Americans have not had to think very hard about where their food comes from, or what it is doing to the planet, their bodies, and their society. Most people count this a blessing. Americans spend a smaller percentage of their income on food than any people in history—slightly less than 10 percent—and a smaller amount of their time preparing it: a mere thirty-one minutes a day on average, including clean-up. The supermarkets brim with produce summoned from every corner of the globe, a steady stream of novel food products (17,000 new ones each year) crowds the middle aisles, and in the freezer case you can find “home meal replacements” in every conceivable ethnic stripe, demanding nothing more of the eater than opening the package and waiting for the microwave to chirp. Considered in the long sweep of human history, in which getting food dominated not just daily life but economic and political life as well, having to worry about food as little as we do, or did, seems almost a kind of dream. The dream that the age-old “food problem” had...

...come. Japanese opening of the film was a first after war film to gather addition a global success. Gojira is a science-fiction/horror film around a mutant animal from the Jurassic period with atomic forces, brought to life as an after-effect of the nuclear blast and close-by atomic bomb testing. In 1956, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, also directed by Ishiro Honda, was discharged in the United States as an American rendition of the first Japanese film. This variant was intensely altered with English dubbing and the deletion of many different scenes. These changes occurred deliberately in a political manner for the American audience and appeared as another creature film. While Gojira metaphorically portrays Japan's after war injury, for example, the nuclear bombings, decimation, and annihilation, the depiction of such pivotal messages are lost in Godzilla: King of the Monsters. The original Japanese motion picture sends a solid messages of atomic attacks and teaches the onlookers of commitments to use new scientific advancements in exploratory and innovative ways rather than in negative ways. Critically, it serves as an update to the Japanese audience not to overlook the nuclear besieging and the aftermath of the bomb, not to overlook that they are all survivors along these lines to act with fearlessness and obligation as people of one community. It serves to remind the country's kin to unite...

America makes sure that everyone else in the world is aware that people in the United States live in a state of freedom, yet this is not as true as people would like it to be. Americans are free to do the things that do not break the laws that the government has enforced. Government action will not help deliver the freedom to the people. Americans are free, but only to a certain point. Most people are afraid to challenge controversial issues and express their true opinions and feelings because they fear what society will think. This limits freedom because people feel forced to conform to societies norms in the United States. Everyone has the...

...Utilitarianism explains that whatever we do matters if it consequently makes us happy or even unhappy. Therefore, nothing else has a part in terms of not making the individuals happy or unhappy. I say unhappy because things that we do or things that happens to us can unintentionally makes us unhappy at the end, however, if we consider the idea of causality, a chain of cause and effect can bring us a chain of happiness and unhappiness. Things that makes us as a society unhappy, we tend to avoid, and things that makes us happy we tend to do more. But what happens if, for instance, something that was supposed to make us happy in the future has been replaced with the sense of sadness and despair. For example, if one’s dream was to fly an airplane and become a pilot was crushed after an unfortunate accident in which the individual loses his eye vision. Then we can see that in this series of cause and effect there was a cause that worked as an obstacle in front of him not to achieve his ultimate happiness which was being a pilot and therefore, not becoming an important part of a society which can, for instance, keep us safe in the sky and so make us happy. However, is it true that what was left for him was merely a sense of unhappiness? What can the individual do to prevent such accident in the future? Does that even matter since the individual already lost his eyes? Therefore, we come to an understanding that what makes us happy is merely relevant to our surrounding and community, and...

...PESTEL Analysis Political Factor: Hong Kong was run as a laissez-faire economy under British colonial rule, and Hong Kong government continued using this system after the territory reverted to Chinese rule in 1997. The government announced the development for five tourism clusters to increase the attractiveness of Hong Kong to tourists including of Ocean Park. The mandate of Ocean Park Corporate was to manage Ocean Park as a public and recreational park and to provide facilities for education, recreational and conservation activities to the public on a self-financing basis. The Chinese government launched the individual Visit Scheme (IVS), lifting restrictions on the travel of mainlanders to Hong Kong in response to the impact of SARS. The scheme allowed mainlanders from designated cities to travel to Hong Kong in an individual capacity rather than only on a business visa or in a group tour as before. The government also reshuffled the Park’s board of directors and appointed new members to replace half of the board. Economic Factor: The park was dealt with the outbreak of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). As tourists shunned Hong Kong and Hong Kongers stayed home as much as they could, attendance at the Park fell by about 70%. Investors in the theme park industry had increasingly turned their eyes to Asia. Analysts forecasted industry growth for Asia at 5.7% between 2005 and 2009. Asia has population of more than 3.7 million. The management saw...

...Poetic Imagery and Political Realities Kathy Kubisty, Omar Contreras, Adolfo Arce University of Phoenix Eng/ 302 David Maker August 24, 2010 Poetic Imagery and Political Realities Poetry has been around for many centuries and the world has witnessed many fine artistic poem writers. Throughout this paper, the life of Robert Frost will be explained along with some of his outstanding poetry. We will discuss who he was, how Frost started in writing his poetry, and how some of his poems relate to what is happening in today's world. Robert Frost was named after the Southern General, Robert E. Lee. He was born on March 26, 1874, in San Francisco, California. Because his parents were a teacher and a journalist, he was always around books. He studied literature from William Shakespeare and poems from Robert Burns and William Wordsworth. Robert excelled in many topics in school such as history, botany, Latin, and Greek. Frost also played football and graduated top of his high school class. Robert Frost started writing poems at an early age. His first poem, “La Noche Triste” was published in his high school newspaper. Frost later enrolled in an Ivy League college in Hanover, New Hampshire. Robert Frost was not fond of the campus life so he quit college and started teaching while he was writing poetry. Frost got his first break as a poet in 1894 when the New York Magazine, “Independent” published his poem, “My Butterfly” for only 15 dollars. Robert Frost later in 1895 married...

...parallel structure. Obama states that Reverend Wright, “strengthened my faith, officiated my wedding, and baptized my children” (Obama par. 22). Parallelism is an effective execution of words where Obama stacks good, positive words one on top of the other. In this manner, he lifts Reverend Wright up as a person. He uses this device to show that Reverend Wright had done a lot for him. For example, religion, weddings, and children are intimate and crucial to relationships, so these are all good memories for Obama. This makes it harder for the public to believe that Rev....

...specific stimuli "patterned" into us. This means that in every situation we have a very large range of options for responding. We are constantly forced to choose how to interact with the world. In Berger's terminology, we must choose how to "externalize" ourselves, which means how to relate to and shape the environment around us. (Berger claims that in this respect we are different from all other animal species. He may well be wrong about other animal species; other animals may be a lot like us. But that doesn't mean he is wrong about human life.) Every time we externalize ourselves we change the environment, which creates a new set of choices to be faced. since the relationship between self and world is always changing, we are always "off balance." What we want more than anything else, according to this sociological view, is to be in balance--to have a permanent stable order in our lives, so that we can predict both the environment and the responses to it that we and others around us will choose. Society's main project is to create this sense of stable predictable order and to make all of us believe in it, although in fact it is always a false illusion. Society does this by "objectivating," which means teaching us (especially when we...

...Branding Through Mascots Bottom of Form Willard Scott, Bob Brandon, King Moody, Geoffrey Guiliano and Joe Maggard. What do these people have in common? Well, they are just five in a list of many more who have essayed the role of Ronald McDonald on television. A nanosecond is all it takes for the image of the red-haired clown in his bright-yellow jumpsuit to make people think of the McDonald's brand. Over the years Ron, as he is popularly called, has acquired an iconic status and has become the public face of the burger giant whose golden arches is the most widely recognized symbol in the fast food industry. India too, is not without its fair share of mascots. For years, the cute Amul girl regaled millions of Indians with her antics and a plateful of products - butter, cheese, milk and chocolates. Today she is undoubtedly The Taste of India. Other popular mascots include Air India's Maharaja, with his diminutive stature, giant turban and oversized moustache exuding warmth and hospitality, and Asian Paints' naughty boy Gattu, holding a bristly paintbrush in one hand and a can of overflowing paint in the other. Incidentally, Gattu was created in 1954 by none other than the master cartoonist, R. K. Laxman. Why mascots? The use of mascots goes back to antiquity, but they were not always called mascots. The word 'mascot' suggests a connection with the occult, being derived from the French slang mascotte meaning 'witch'. How the word entered the English language is a story...

...Stock Market Crash, and the American Dream was rudely shattered. Those who had previously prided themselves on the ability to provide security for their families were now faced with the harsh reality of poverty. As faith in capitalism soon evaporated, Americans began to look to the government for salvation. Hoover was blamed for his lack of intervention after the collapse of the economy, but just when things were looking their worst, things changed. A new man was elected President. His name was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and he is recognized as the President who saved the country from ultimate atrophy. True, it was World War I that really ended the Depression, but had it not been for Roosevelt and the adoption of the New Deal, the economic slump of the depression may never have ended. Roosevelt entered office with no plan to deal with the depression. He was willing to try anything and the New Deal became the likely path. It was very experimental and very risky. President Roosevelt promised immediate action to end the Depression, and he kept his promises. The day after his inauguration, he called a special session for Congress. It was here that he declared a national Bank Holiday, where all banks in the U.S. were forced to shut down for a day so that the Treasury Department could go through and investigate them one by one. Afterwards, only the secure banks were allowed to reopen. Amazingly, Congress, as well as the American people, was cooperative. The country was...

...Essay on the Scope of Political Science by Suhana Dhawan There is no general agreement on the nature and scope of Political Science, “the master science” as Aristotle described it, since there is no generally accepted definition of the discipline, and its organising concept the State. The definitions of both Political Science and the State, the latter in particular, reveal the bias of the thinkers, for example, the metaphysical (Hegel), the juridical (Austin), the sociological (Maclver), the descriptive (Garner) and many others with their own distinctive labels. In fact, there are as many definitions as there are writers on the subject and all these definitions give to the entity — the State — different meanings and conflicting roles. This tendency continues even now though in a slightly different form. “The recent definitions of politics (as a study),” writes Frank Thakurdas, “are not so much cast in the discipline of the thinker (easily detectable) but in the conceptual framework that he has worked out in advance (as it were) the basic presupposition of his personal manner of interpreting the complete phenomenon of politics. But also including the ‘purpose’ that the studies involve in terms of the practical ends they sub serve.” Some writers restrict the scope of Political Science to the study of the State alone, for example, Bluntschli. All such writers exclude the study of government from the scope of Political Science, for the State for them obviously includes the study...

...A. Justify your choice of the two most significant environmental/geographic factors that contributed to the development or expansion of the United States. I am choosing the Gold Rush and the Dust Bowl as my two significant factors that have contributed to the development or expansion of the US. The Dust Bowl. In the middle of the 19th century many people were traveling across the US looking for land to farm and make homes on. When they reach the Midwest they thought they had found paradise. The grass was tall and rich all the way from Canada to Texas. Men started to clear the land and started planting crops of wheat. The most ideal was the Southern Plains. The only down side was once the trees and grass was removed the top soil had nothing to hold it into place. The water from the ground that would have gone to the roots of the trees and grass flowed into nearby water ways, such as creeks and rivers. The southern plains were the place to be in the 1930’s. They grew wheat which the government was paying top dollar for because of World War I. The wheat and corn was used to help feed the soldiers and other countries as well as many Americans. In the summer of 1931 a great drought hit the southern plains, turning the once fertile ground into dry brittle dirt. But the lack of water was not the only reason the ground was so dry. The farming practices at that time were depleting the soil of all the nutrients needed to help crops grow. The drought did not stop...
