How Did Jesus's Decision Not To Help The White Mother
Jesus colon made the decision not to help the white lady, but I disagree with his decision not to help. Since it was 1961 and the color of your skin was judged by different races, I can understand why Jesus did not ask the white lady because he thought he might get himself in jail or something even worse like getting beaten to death. Also that is showing that Jesus is being very cautious. I think Jesus should have decided to ask the lady if he could have helped her because he knew that was the right thing to do. Also asking is showing that he he has respect which is better than just helping the child because then he could get in serious trouble. If Jesus was another race, for example a white man he may have gone and asked and not have been

    The Influence Of Officer Smith's Decision-Making

    Yes, I believe that Officer Smith’s first glance at the African American female influenced her decision making during her stop. What it sounds like, from the reading is that Officer Smith racially profiled the driver meaning that she had discriminated against the female driver based on her race and appearance. And by doing so this may have caused her to try and find any reason to pull the female driver over. I believe that this is true because if she was only preforming a routine traffic stop because the drivers tail light was broken or even if she thought that this vehicle was used in the killing of police officer she would not have stated “Another one of those people we need to get off the streets.” This statement alone would make anyone who has common sense believe that Officer Smith may be raciest even if that isn’t the case.…

    Ethical Analysis Of Jesus 9: 9-13

    Jesus set an example for his disciples and for all people to follow. His example and teaching was to show compassion towards everyone, men, women, Jews, Gentiles, righteous people, and sinners alike. He believes they should all be treated the same. Jesus did not always treat everyone in the same manner, but he never treated someone as if they were worthless.…

    Officer Jackson's Ethical Dilemmas

    First, he decides to look at scripture to see if his Christian faith backs up the way he is inclined to go. One scripture from the Old Testament to support Officers Jacksons viewpoint is Proverbs 22:2 NIV, “Rich and poor have this in common: The LORD is the Maker of them all”. This reminds Jackson that everyone is equal in the fact that they share the same Creator. Another scripture he looks at is in the New Testament, by Jesus, in John 13:34, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” Thus, by looking at Jesus’s teaching, it shows that we are all to love one another. Therefore, by looking at this dilemma rationally with scripture, the decision Officer Jackson should choose is aligning more with his beliefs.…

    Mr King Letter From Birmingham Jail Analysis

    Mr. King is simply fighting for justice not for anything unreasonable. The Bible expresses that you should love your neighbor, can you not do that? The Negro is your neighbor as well as your brothers and sisters in Christ. If you cannot see that then you are truly a hypocrite and foolish bunch. I hope that you reconsider your position and take a stand for justice in an unjust world.…

    To Kill A Mockingbird: Character Analysis

    I believe in judging someone by their actions and character rather than by the color of their skin and sexuality. This I believe because there is good and bad in all of us. The color of our skin does not depict the flaws we have. In the second amendment it states that all men are created equal, but we still do not treat each other equally. Defending Tom Robinson was not easy because I knew that from the minute Mayella opened her mouth Tom was a dead man. But everyone including a black man deserves a second chance. How could I ever tell my own children “You never really understand a person until you consider things from their point of view - until you climb into his skin and walk around in it” if I didn’t pick up Tom’s case because I was afraid of what people would think of me. When people say things about me like “Atticus Finch is the same in his house as he is on the public streets” why would I prove them wrong? You are only as good as you portray yourself to be. But when you are a black man in the town of Maycomb, Alabama you were never dealt the good hand to begin with. Sadly Tom never got a second chance. Tom was a good man but because of the color of his skin he was not treated as fairly as the rest of us.…

    Essay on "To Kill a Mockingbird" (Social Inequality and Racism)

    “Hating people because of their color is wrong. And it doesn't matter which color does the hating. It's just plain wrong” (Muhammad Ali). In the movie “To Kill a Mockingbird” a lawyer Atticus Finch is given the task of defending an innocent man from an undeserving rape charge. Being a white man he takes the liberty of defending a black man, what is a very rare thing those days. In his case, he gives to his children and other people a great example of justice, which is the main question raised in the movie.…

    Women and Pregnancy in Bom Jesus

    The women, men, and children that live in Bom Jesus, for the most part, from the moment they are born have a very hard life. The impoverished women, on average during their reproductive days, have about 12 pregnancies. Of those pregnancies only about three of the children survive. (pg. 311) When asked, how many children would be the ideal family size, the women would answer between two to three children. (pg. 331-332) So the question that must be asked is why these women have so many pregnancies when they only really want about three children? The answer to that question has many reasons and most of them are deeply rooted in the culture that the women live in.…

    Martin Luther King Search for Meaning

    By searching for a deeper interpretation of the events of the bible, King was able to extract a sense of meaning from Jesus’ life. For King, God’s giving of his only son, came to represent God’s infinite love and forgiving nature toward all human beings. By believing in God’s love for humans, King was able to mimic Jesus’ forgiveness, by fighting for equal rights between black and white citizens, even though white citizens had abused and discriminated against him; suggesting in his speech Strength to Love, that “we must have compassion and understanding for those who hate us”.…

    Kevin Carter Famine

    I believe that Carter had the responsibility to help the child because he saw the child suffering and in danger of getting attacked by the vulture. Given the fact that he was the only one there he had the responsibility to help the child. We should do unto others what we would like to be done to us. If I was in that child’s position I would have liked to be helped like I am sure Carter would have too. I think that if Carter would have helped the child he would have not been depressed and committer suicide because he would have known he did something good by helping the child. Like I said before I am pretty sure he could have chosen another photograph to get his point across to have people help stop the famine. Besides he wanted people to help yet it was in his reach to help this child and he did not? He was going against his own believes in my opinion. I believe that it was morally wrong for Carter to not help the child get to the food bank or at least a safer place, closer to were that child could get the help…
