....A cult is a social or religious group who strongly devotes themselves to their beliefs. Most members of cults are required to separate from family and friends and only talk and live with other cult members.Cults forbid any questioning or doubt about them. It can result in punishment.Mind altering practices such as meditation are used often to get rid of any doubt about the cult. They dont want any cult members to have any doubts about them or their beliefs.Cults show strong and excessive commitment to their leader. Regardless of if hes alive or not. They still show commitment to the leader even if hes dead.Cult leaderships are mostly dictators.They dictate how members should act,think and feel. Cult members need to get permission to do a lot of things.Cults can also be physically abusive to their members. Despite many people's beliefs cult members actually dress the same as normal people do. They do this to make it easier to talk people into joining and trick them.Though not all cults are religious ones, religious cults are common.A lot of...

...I sat on the couch, finally able to relax. Ma just fell asleep and lately when she goes to sleep, one of two things happen: She sleeps for hours and hours, sometimes a full day. I love it especially when this happens because not only do i get a fairly long break from the crazy woman that is my mother, when she wakes up, its like shes a different person. Kind, caring, loving, energetic, you know how moms are supposed to be. Or she doesn't actually sleep but is in a state of half consciousness, and any and all little sounds will wake her up and will make her very upset. Just yesterday she went to sleep and came out roughly an hour later, screaming at me, kicking and throwing things around because i had the fan in the living room on and she could...

...pencil. In some cases, mini twists are so small that the hair may appear loose rather than twisted. THE GOOD: Mini twists last longer — anywhere from three to six weeks — than larger twists. Because they are so small, they tend not to frizz and age as quickly. This is great news for those who want to leave their natural hair alone for several weeks at a time. Not only do mini twists last longer, they also allow for more versatility in styling. Because they are so small, it is much easier to achieve a range of styles than with larger twists. A lot of the styles can mimic those on loose natural hair. minitwist1 (In 2013) THE NOT SO GREAT: Mini twists can take hours to a day or two to install or take down. This can be a challenge if you have to be somewhere or you just do not have the time or patience. In terms of helping with patience, watching a few movies or television shows can help pass the time. When it comes to needing to be somewhere, some naturals prefer to start their mini twists in the front or along the perimeter of their hair so that they can “fake the finished look” if they haven’t completed the twists in time. THE BAD: Single-strand knots and locking are more likely to occur in mini twists than in larger twists, especially for those with tightly-coiled, kinky strands. In order to prevent locking, try not to wear this style for longer...

...“culture?” a. Culture is a way of life which is determined by particular social customs, family tradition, and anything else that makes a person, family or group unique. 2. How do you define “family?” a. Family has two different meanings to me, you have your biological family, those who share your DNA. Your other family are those individuals you’ve built a bond with that can’t be broken. It’s stronger than a friendship. 3. Who holds the most “status” in your family? Why? a. The man because he is directly under Allah, it is the Muslim belief that he is our direct link to Allah. The man is the provider, supporter, educator and protector. I was always taught to find a husband who can support you and your family in the way that the patriarch could. So that in the event of a tragedy, if something were to happen to me, I know I left my family in good hands. 4. How do you define success? a. Success is self-defined. Some people may view success as having a huge home with a white picket fence and a ton of money. However, in the Nation of Islam, success is fulfilling your sole purpose on earth. Your sole purpose is to be discussed between you and the divine ruler. Success is also being able to maintain a balance in life. Mentally, spiritually, physically and emotionally. 5. Do you consider your parents to be successful? a. Yes. They are successful in terms of following the correct path which will lead them fulfilling their sole purpose in life. My mom feels as if...

However, as one door swings open, another shall shut, Closing behind of what was left to come undone, Revealing after all that he truly was, Only the accomplis. Not apart of that man, But by any other name he‘d still Never be accepted, Only judged by what was in front, Not what was truly divine?” 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy. Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot, nor arm, nor face, nor any other part Belonging to a man. O, be some other name! What is in a name? That which we call a rose . By any other name would smell as sweet. So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name; And for that name, which is no part of thee,…’ Quote Juliet- Romeo and Juliet: William Shakespeare Prologue He sat there by the fogged up window sitting on the old box seat, he was staring out at the rain that was falling on the ground, the rain had been pouring down ever since dawn that morning and to be honest it was annoying the shit out of him. It beat down at the ground so hard that all the roses in the front garden had, their leaves torn apart so now they looked like dark red smudges against the earthy...

...Book I What is justice? Why should we be just? Cephalus - Justice means living up to your legal obligations and being honest. - Socrates - Its like returning weapon to a madman.. he'll kill people. Polemarchus - Justice means that you owe friends help, and you owe enemies harm. - Socrates - we are not always friends with the most virtuous, nor are our enemies always teh scum of society Thrasymachus , sophist - Justice is nothing more than the advantage of the stronger-- it does not pay to be just.Justice is a conventon imposed on us, and it does not benefit us to adhere to it. The rational thing is to ignore it. - Socrates 1. This promotes injustice as a virtue. In his view, life is like a continual competition to get more. And whoever is most successful has the most virtue? Thats bullshit! mathematicians dont compete with others, etc 2. In order to reach any of Thrasymachus' goals, you must atleast be moderately just to even follow them. 3. Since justice is a virtue of the soul, and virtue of teh soul means health of the soul, justice is desirable because it means health of the soul. Book II Glaucon - All good can be divided into 3 classes: 1. Things we desire for consequences (physical training, medical treatment) 2. Things we desire for their own sake (joy) 3. Things we desire for own sake and for what we get from them (knowledge, sight, health) - highest class - Most people class justice in the first group, as a necessary evil, allowing...

...along with him. The hallway smelt of boiled cabbage and old rag mats. At one end of it a coloured poster, too large for indoor display, had been tacked to the wall. It depicted simply an enormous face, more than a metre wide: the face of a man of about forty-five, with a heavy black moustache and ruggedly handsome features. Winston made for the stairs. It was no use trying the lift. Even at the best of times it was seldom working, and at present the electric current was cut off during daylight hours. It was part of the economy drive in preparation for Hate Week. The flat was seven flights up, and Winston, who was thirty-nine and had a varicose ulcer above his right ankle, went slowly, resting several times on the way. On each landing, opposite the lift-shaft, the poster with the enormous face gazed from the wall. It was one of those pictures which are so contrived that the eyes follow you about when you move. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, the caption beneath it ran. Inside the flat a fruity voice was reading out a list of figures which had something to do with the production of pig-iron. The voice came from an oblong metal plaque like a dulled mirror which formed part of the surface of the right-hand wall. Winston turned a switch and the voice sank somewhat, though the words were still distinguishable. The instrument (the telescreen, it was called) could be dimmed, but there was no way of shutting it off completely. He moved over to the window: a smallish, frail figure, the meagreness of...
