...historical history of the bible but they had different points of views. In the readings from Perry there was a statements made on page 36 that seemed or sound as though he don't entirely believe or agree with all the bible in tell. I totally disagree when Perry stated that the bible contains factual errors, folklore and legends. Do to the fact that from the Book of Genesis stated that God created everything from the heavens and the earth to light, life and humans. i guess that Perry feels that due to all of the miracles that was throughout the bible would cause him to consider them to be folklore factual errors. Maier doesn't entirely believe the bible is complete or perfect by stating that "Abraham was a myth" because early critics in the 1800's denied the existence of Ur of the Chaldes. The bible states that Ur, the city of Chaldes was part of Babylonia. For the Lord said in Deut. 4:2, "Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish brought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you." In Rev 22:19 it also states, "And Lord if any man shall take away form the words of the book of his prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city and from things which are written in this book." From these two verses taken from the holy bible, Maier should not attempt to discard or add anything other than what was written. The overall significance of the bible would be that everyone...

...“Assignment: Penitentiary Ideal and Models of American Prison Paper” The word penitentiary falls back on the story of Creation. In the Bible, the chapter Genesis 1:2 says, “And the Earth was without form.” This is how a penitentiary was back in the 1700’s; it was merely an idea that had not been concrete to others yet. According to chapter 2 of the textbook; The Penitentiary and the 1800’s, “The penitentiary was more of an idea or set of principles than a physical institution with shape or form.” (Burk Foster, 2006). The only strange questions asked throughout is, what should a penitentiary be? A penitentiary had purposes to be both secular and spiritual. Instead of a penitentiary being all about physical punishment, it was supposed to be a place of humane punishment for wrong doers. Instead of prisoners being bunched together, the true penitentiary was meant to have them separated from each other to avoid contamination of the body and spirit. I personally think that a penitentiary should be more like a place to make an inmate know that they did wrong by breaking the law. Today in the 20th century, many prisons are giving inmates too many privileges. It seems as if they are trying to make their sentence spent in a penitentiary more like spending it at home. For example, inmates are allowed to watch television, have visitation form their families on the weekends, yard time, work out, work different kinds of jobs for a certain amount...

...• What were women’s prisons like before the 1800s? How have they changed? Before the 1800’s women were treated the same as men in prison. Women were punished just like the men were, with the exception that pregnant women were often spared punishment until after they had given birth. Both men and women were mixed together as prisoners and were watched by male jailers, which made the women prisoners subjected to abuse and mistreated. Most female inmates at this time were prostitutes or thieves and because of this no one really worried about what was happening to them. This all began to change in the early 1800’s when Elizabeth Gurney Fry began a ministry for the women in prison. Fry would visit the prisons and read the Bible to the female inmates even though she was advised of the dangers that were possible. Fry created the Association of the Improvement of the Female Prisoners in Newgate in 1817. In the U.S., Eliza W.B. Farnham was the head matron of the women’s wing at Sing Sing Prison in New York from 1844-1848. She tried to make the women’s prison more like a home instead of a prison. She was fired for basically being too nice to the inmates. In 1873 the first separate prison for women was built. (Foster, "Women's Prisons," 2006) The prisons have changed because now the male and female prisoners have been separated. • What are the three basic arguments established in the 1800s that supported the separation of juvenile prisoners from adult prisoners? What would happen...

...Development of Corrections Before the 1800’s, women were treated like their male counterparts and were also put into the same cells as males and supervised by males. This in turn would cause the women to be doubly abused and exploited (Foster, 2006). Women would get punished just as the men, with the exception of the women prisoners that were pregnant. If a woman was pregnant they would not be subjected to any type of punishment until after they gave birth. Women’s prisons were changed by Elizabeth Gurney Fry that was an English Quaker and would visit prisons to read the bible to the inmates. She was the organizer of the Association for the Improvement of the Female Prisoners in Newgate in 1817 (Foster, 2006). Fry argued that women prisoners needed separate facilities than men and that women should run women’s prisons as well. The three basic arguments established in the 1800’s that supported the separation of juvenile prisoners from adult prisoners is that “the penitentiary regimen was too hard on tender youth; juveniles would learn bad habits from older criminals and be embittered by the experience of confinement; and adolescents could be reformed if they were diverted early enough into institutions designed specifically for people their age” (Foster, 2006, pg. 34). If there were no distinction between prisons for juveniles and adults the juveniles would be subject...

...reach this goal that are non-practical and lose focus on the essence of family. The founder and leader, Noyes, believed that he himself possessed divine authority over the Oneida Community, which was directly given to him by God. This belief of his was not only of Noyes, but was truly shared among all the members of the community, which allowed for his rules to be followed without question or concern. These unique “rules” included the process of mutual criticism, being granted by Noyes and only Noyes to give birth to a child, the required form of birth control: coitus reservatus, communal living, gender equality, and the practice of complex marriage. By actually visiting the Oneida Mansion where the community resided during most of the 1800’s, I was able to obtain as close as a first-hand experience as I possibly could by taking a tour of the Mansion accompanied by tour guides that were well-educated on the topic and readily answered the questions that I had. Through visiting their former residence and reading Without Sin: The Life and Death of the Oneida Community, one would be able to determine which perspectives and policies of the Oneida Community were strong or weak, and whether or not it would be practical to adopt these perspectives and policies in the present. The process of Mutual Criticism was a policy of Oneida which involved each member, in turn, sitting quietly while their fellow members told him/her their faults in an orderly and respective manner.

...Ganja (Marijuana) Ganja was brought to Jamaica in the late 1800’s by indentured East Indians, who were brought to the Island to work after slavery ended. Eventually it was outlawed and made illegal. The Jamaican environment and climate was the perfect place for the plant to grow. The use of ganja in Jamaica is not unique to Rastafarians. Before Rastafari began, ganja was used by herbalists in Jamaica as a medicine in teas. It was also mixed with tobacco for smoking. Ganja is considered the “wisdom weed” by Rastafarians, as its use helps one to gain wisdom. Rastafarians use it as a part of a religious rite and as a means of getting closer to their inner spiritual self, Jah (God) and Creation. Ganja is also seen by Rastafarians as the herb of life mentioned in the Bible. Rastafarians use of ganja is justified by the following Psalms 104:14 that says, “He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle and herb for the service of man, that he may bring forth food out of the earth.” Rastafarians also say it was found growing at the grave of King Solomon in the Bible. Rastafarian consume it through smoking and eating (not recomended). The smoking of Ganja is a part of a religious ritual. When there is a large “reasoning” gathering of Rastafarians, a Chalice, which is a large smoking pipe, may be passed around and smoked. This is similar to the passing around of a communion cup by some Christian denominations. These gatherings are also called Nyahbinghi (also the name of a Rastafarian...

...Chapter 6 The political situations in both China and Russia before their revolutions were much the same. Both had weak rulers and discontented people. In China, a succession of dynasties had ruled since ancient times. At the beginning of 1909, the Chinese emperor Kuang-Hsu had recently died. He left behind three-year-old nephew PuYi to rule the throne with the baby's father, Prince Chun, as regent. Kuang-Hsu's aunt had great power over the rule of her nephew, and she prevented him from taking measures toward the modernizing that China badly needed. China needed a strong, modern monarch to rule and not a three-year-old. Mother Russia had also hosted an absolute monarchy for centuries. By the 1900's, Nicholas II ruled all of Russia's vast territory. His father, Alexander III, ruled strictly but ended up stirring the kettle of discontent before passing the throne to his son. Nicholas ruled about one hundred years too late. Part of the problem was that he came after a series of rulers also in the wrong time. By the time he inherited the throne, there was little hope for Russia's monarchy. Nicholas II further destroyed that hope through extensive war and political entanglements with religious leaders of the Russian Orthodox Church. He participated in several wars despite the fact that his country could not really handle it. This destroyed the trust the masses of peasants and workers had in him, in the church he controlled, and in the government as a whole. Similarly, in China...

...immigrants should be sent back to their lands immediately; some say the illegal immigrants should be allowed to stay in this country, but pay back taxes. The religious groups express that the immigration issue is a human issue and the Bible has the answer as to how immigrants are to be dealt with. Although the views are different one thing remains the same immigrants are people looking for something better than where they are leaving and the United States seems to have what they are looking for. The Arizona Legislative Bill Number SB1070 was created as a way to legally deal with the influx of illegal immigrants that cross the borders daily. The rights of these individuals are very important and legislation must take that into consideration. The issue of immigration is not only a concern for the United States; it is an issue that affects the entire world. The historical framework of the illegal immigration issue began in the United States in the late 1800’s. The current issue began in 1882 when the industrialists began building the railroad that connected the United States and Mexico. The workers for the railroad consisted of undocumented immigrants that crossed the border just before the new train crossed the border. In the early 1900’s the Mexican Revolution brought about hard economic times and migrant workers were hired to work in the United States where the economy was progressive. After World War II the need for workers created a program that would import Mexican...

Berndt had four boys form a previous marriage, and two children with Karen’s mother; Karen was the youngest of her brothers and the only daughter. In the 1800’s a women was expected to marry if she was not going to live her life as a caretaker for her own mother or as nun. Clotide, was referred to as Sonni by Berndt and her children because she was such a freethinker. Karen’s father was harshly religious and she was only allowed to read the bible after she learned how to read. Berndt applied the values of his religious belief harshly at home and commanded total loyalty to the church (Rubins, 1978). Karen’s childhood was difficult and by the time she was nine years old she began to battle depression. Karen became uneasy toward religion, along with social expectations and gender roles. Karen was confused on why she was not treated equally to her brother and her father seemed to prefer Berndt junior over herself. Karen could not understand why in the Bible women were declared a secondary creation...

... it is a very important topic, to science students, Christianity’s history along with science; and is also highly relevant to the current growing debate over evolution and or creation. The dominant view of the earth’s age in the 1800’s was mostly the creation theory that God created the earth in six 24 hr. days. However, by the end of the 1800’s, theories sought to prove earth’s existence only through natural and evolutionary means. This change in theory was mainly due to 3 French scientists, whose work revolved around natural laws in matter, time, chance and nature itself, leaving God out of the picture. Therefore, during the 19th Century there were 3 dominant earth views: 1) Catastrophists- who believed that creation was “untold-ages” old and that through catastrophic floods many life forms were died off, and God recreated new species. 2) Uniformitarians who ignored origins of life, and believed all geological processes remained the same throughout history without change; and 3) Scriptural geologists who believed in creation as God stated in the Bible, and that earth was not millions of years old. Christian catastrophists and uniformitarians tried to find a way to “blend" the theory of old earth creation with the account of Genesis, which proves the author’s statement, “A person’s worldview not...

...In the late 1800’s to early 1900’s, the U.S. was deciding whether to annex the Philippines or to give them their freedom. During the Spanish - American War, the U.S. fought Spain in the Philippines and promised the Philippines their independence, but the U.S. took them over instead. The U.S. wanted to annex the Philippines because they wanted to protect them from other countries from taking them over because America thought that their government wasn’t strong enough and unstable, which wasn’t true. The U.S. also wanted to annex the Philippines because they wanted to spread the Christian religion. The U.S. should not have annexed the Philippines because they had already promised them their independence, and fought for it in the Spanish-American War with America. The U.S. is also going to force the Philippines to be Christians, which will make them angry and want a war with America....

...treatment or solely rely on prayer and faith? (Deem, 2010) People have had objections to medical treatment as far back as the 1800’s. Religious group members were prosecuted for allowing generations of children to die due to the rejection medical treatment from a physicians as well as rejecting the administration of medications. In this time and age you still have same religious groups that believe their lives are in God’s hands and not the physicians since they are only human beings. Dr. Lorry Frankel, a professor at the Stanford School of Medicine and author of Ethical Dilemmas in Pediatrics. "We respect people's religious beliefs and try to compromise, but we won't deny treatment that will save lives.” (Guzder, 2009) Christians should rely on prayer to guide them to the medical professional sent to them by God to treat their illnesses and diseased treated through modern medicine. There are many Christians in the world today that believe that Christians should not visit health care facilities of providers and rely solely upon prayer. These Christians believe that the Bible teachings state that all healings come from prayer. The Bible does contain many stories about the healings of Jesus such as healing the blind man so he could see. Despite what these extremists are stating the bible does reference physicians during the New Testament time period. The Bible teaches that Luke was a physician and Jesus knew this. Jesus said in Luke 5:31, “It is not those who are healthy who need...

...The earth is known to be old, but what is the truth of how old is the earth. There is scientific evidence of how old it is, some would say it’s Billions of years and some would say Thousands of years old. There is a lot of factors like rocks layers, plants, animals, sun, moon and many more facts that can predict how many years has the earth been around. But to find the truth if it’s a Billions of years or Thousands of years we would have to compare the two and even look into scientist discovering facts. Or do we go off the what God has created and the Bibles authors? When we read about how or what makes the earth Billions of years? There was a Geologic time scale that was invented in 1800’s. Within this invention, this scale was only to find the geologic ages, with out the information of periods or events. By this we believe the earth was formed about 4 billions years ago. This dates have been proven by analyzing samples of rocks , solar systems, and minerals. Scientist have collaborated and scientifically giving proves of objects, like how old it the oldest rock on earth or the oldest mineral and where did it come from. Material (Oldest earth rock), Age (4.0 billion years), and Methods (radiometric) our how the geologic scale combinations of specific source that tell the what scientist have documented and dated there sources. These are examples of why some assume the age of the earth is a billion years old. One big scientists believer was James Hutton studied...
