...final THE GOLDEN RULE as THE SUPREME PRINCIPLE implications for FAITH Faith within the Limits of Love and Reason SECTION ONE: Why Reason Must Have the Final Word To see why reason must have the final word in all things, I will illustrate the role of reason in three different cases. This I think should suffice to make the point. (1) Consulting Some Authority Suppose we are confronted with two or more conflicting alternatives concerning what to say, think or do and in hopes of resolving this confusing conflict, we seek out some wiser person, some authority, who can give us the correct answer. This raises the question: Who is the authority we can turn to: our Mom, our Dad, our grandparent, a priest or a clergyman, a Rabbi or Ayatollah, a bodhisattva, a therapist or counselor, the Pope, a lawyer, a real estate agent, an auto mechanic? Well, of course, our choice depends on the nature of our problem. So, reason needs to play a role here in helping us to determine what kind of authority to consult. Okay, let us suppose that our conflict is of a religious nature. We still need to ask which priest, which clergyman, which Rabbi, which Ayatollah or which bodhisattva etc. to choose. So here again, reason has a role to play. There is more. After we have settled who to consult, sometimes we will find that the advice is really bad advice. Sometimes we will find that the advice is really good advice. On still other occasions, we won't know what to make of the advice and will not...

...Town is a play written by Thornton Wilder. The film tells the story of a screenwriter named Gil who visits Paris with his wife and while roaming the streets at midnight is transported back to his “golden age” of the 1930s. Wilder’s play, on the other hand, tells the story of a small New Hampshire town, Grover’s Corners, focusing on the lives of the Webbs and Gibbses families, specifically George Gibb and Emily Webb. While there are strong differences in the experiences of the characters, the lesson learned in Midnight in Paris and Our Town is very similar. Both Midnight in Paris and Our Town utilize time and space to teach the characters the lesson. In Midnight in Paris,...

...Jason was a leader in the Argonautic Expedition in getting the Golden Fleece. His father was king Iolcus. Jason received all his genes from his father, and hardly anything from his mother. Jason was a true friend and hero. Life was challenging for him because his childhood life was rough, he had to get the golden fleece, and difficulties ruling as a king. (Greek gods) One of the main reasons why Jason's life was complex is that he endured a rough childhood. He was the son of king Iolcus, but Jason was more like his father than his mother. When he was born, his uncle Pelias killed every sibling in his family. His uncle took over as king, and Jason went and lived in the woods with Centaur Chiron. He was raised by Centaur Chiron until adulthood....

...I opened the box and took out the gleaming gold bracelet. "For me?" I could barely talk. "Yes, of course," said my Aunt Estelle. I really shouldn't have been surprised because she was like that, unexpected and golden. When I was younger, I knew that I could always go to my Aunt Estelle for comfort, advice and support. She was my best friend and my guardian angel. I could always be honest with her and confide in her about anything that was on my mind. She also knew when I was trying to hide something. Aunt Estelle gave me advice when it was sought and guided me through many difficulties. Last December, I was confronted with one of the most difficult choices I ever had to make in my life. Naturally, I sought Aunt Estelle's advice but for the first time I didn't like her response. She was dying of cancer and I was scheduled to go to Israel for two weeks with a group from my synagogue. Aunt Estelle was the most unselfish person I ever knew and would not even consider my hesitation about going. When I went to the hospital to visit her for what turned out to be the last time, she was waiting for me with a book about Israel on her bed and made it very clear that she expected me to go - that it was her greatest wish for me to go - how could I refuse her. Aunt Estelle called me before I left to tell me that she loved me and that she would always be with me. I went to Israel and had the time of my life. When I returned, my parents picked me up. I told them I couldn't wait to tell...

...the connotation that the performer (in this case me) is aware that this is the last performance of his lifetime, and is expending everything in one magnificent final effort….” The above sentence describes my very life circumstances as it is today. For you see, I am no longer the younger man of times past. No, I am much older now, an old man who is no wiser, or smarter than when I started my journey in life. Although, I do know enough to realize that these truly are my last days, and yet, I see myself as a small boy of five. I should not admit such silliness, for it surprises even me to think as a small boy of five at my age. It is said that these are the golden years of my life! I wonder who first said that. For when you get older, you realize that the golden days was our miss spent “days of our youth”. Yes, those were the golden days! The days we thought we owned could treat them as if they would never end. But now, as we return from our journey, we know where we made bad choices. For you see, it is the small boy of five who is pointing out my miss steps where I made the wrong turns. Sadly, such days come to mind too often, reminding me of my failure to listen to those who were returning from their journey on the ‘trail of life’. Oh, the things they would try to tell me. “Watch out for this or that”, they would cry out as I traveled up the trail of life. Beware! Do not forget to make plans for your future! Listen to your conscious, for such comes from the creator of us all, if...

...of financial security is to make sure you are aware of the dangers and pitfalls. The road is rough and has laid waist to many who have tried before you so be sure that you have what it takes, financially and intellectually. Fortunately there are solutions to this problem, albeit the people you will need to talk too are few and far between, it is good advice before you start that will give you that edge when the going gets rough and the pizazz to ride the crest of the wave when things go well. Business: Undercapitalization and Bankruptcy While there are many reasons to cling to the security of the hourly wage paycheck, the hopes and dreams of personal freedom is something that we, as humans, still crave. In this particular case, that freedom leads to the status of the self-employed businessperson. The problem is that just wanting success is never enough to accomplish it. Although freedom leads to self-sufficiency in an ever-changing, increasingly global market, the mere desire for success is a delusion in terms of real-world achievement. So the real question becomes, how can a small startup business avoid bankruptcy? The Golden Idle To begin with, the age-old cliché is true: “It takes money to make money.” This is fully understood by the business gurus of the modern world as under capitalization. It would seem so simple for a person with good intentions and a great product to just go down to their local bank and ask for a business loan....

...yourself in the service of others.” Growing up my father would always remind me to be grateful and recite this quote to my family. To show I am thankful for my good health, I have decided that for my CBSL I would like to train a service dog. My family has struggled with poor eyesight so I would like to help by adopting a Golden Retriever and train him or her to assist someone either within my family or outside of my family.

...William Prado Professor Solis HST 301 OL 11/19/2014 The Golden Age of Japanese Cinema The Golden age of Japanese cinema started in the mid-1940s and lasted approximately 30 years to the end of the 1960s. It was a period marked by the end of the war that saw the defeat of Japan by America and her allies. The destruction that Japan faced with the twin bombings had left the country shaken to the roots and the young men and women wanted to find something useful to keep them busy. They found the cinema. With the advancement in technology, film directors such as Akira Kurosawa took the center stage with films that tried to teach people about harmony and restoration. Most of the films in the golden age focused on the need to prevent war and bring people together as one unique society through the preaching of peaceful coexistence. This research, therefore, focuses on the Seven Samurai film that was directed by Akira Kurosawa in 1953. Through the film, we hope to understand the concepts of the golden age of Japanese Cinema, as well as its characteristics (Tezuka 47). Seven Samurai is a war film that depicts the struggle that human beings go through in search for freedom and emancipation. It also reveals the post war effects on the society and tries to persuade people to coexist peacefully without causing chaos (Fischer 1-65). The film directed by Akira Kurosawa and produced by Sojiro Motoki, stars Toshiro Mifume, Takashi Shimura, Keiko Tsushima and several other individuals who...

...imperative to define the parameters of Christian spirituality and ethics. As Christian, we are guided by many Commandments and teachings and examples set by many prophets, noble men, and many parables from Jesus, where upholding higher moral and ethical standard for the good of others, not self, was dear to him. In Luke 10: 29-37, Jesus told the story of the Good Samaritan, a traveler from Jerusalem attacked and mocked by bandits. Two individuals, presented with the similar fate, were the least expected person to turn away and ignored the wounded person, by walking away and leaving the man stranded. Another important aspect to draw from the Christian spirituality mindset to advise Benji Watson, comes from Matthew 7: 12, commonly known as the Golden Rule. In this text, it is written that you do unto others as you would expect them to do unto you. Using the ethical perspective to advise Benji Watson, understanding of ethics, particularly business ethics, must be brought to bear. Ethics, in simplification is the study of good and bad behavior; whereas business ethics, a detachment of ethics, is what makes up good and bad behavior as related to business activities and values. From the definition of business ethics, we are left to decide what constitute the ambiguous terms “good and bad behavior” as they relate to business ethics. Are the practices of Nike, a fortune 500 company and the number one maker of shoe and athletic apparel, producing their merchandise at low labor cost overseas...
