Modern Day Research Paper

Even in the midst of this secular world, there are people in it, or who have been recently in it, who greatly imitate Mary. A modern day Mary is a person of today, or has at least lived close to this era of time, who shows a significant amount of virtue, humility, modesty, and most importantly, has a correct and delicate conscience. However, a modern day Eve, is the exact opposite. This person may tend to lack modesty, virtue, and have a lax and desensitized conscience. A modern day Mary habitually judges correctly, whereas, a modern day Eve may be inclined to be lax and not care if whatever they are doing is right or wrong. A good example of a modern day Eve who still lives in this world today is the well-known celebrity, Lady Gaga. This
She was a faithful girl who went to a Catholic school, so why would she waste her opportunity of living a chaste life by writing exceedingly inappropriate (but catchy) songs? Another example that I found that Lady Gaga openly admitted was this statement she made: “I didn’t lose my virginity until I was 17. But I have to say even then I wasn’t ready and it was an absolutely terrible experience.” This statement proves she feels a lot of regret, but mostly demonstrates her lax behavior. Notice how she says until she was seventeen. This shows that she really didn’t care that she was deeply offending God. Even though she was a Catholic and “still is” to this day, she doesn’t even try to be a good, moral person, because she got sucked into this secular world and started influencing people with her bad songs and at the same time doing those bad things to herself, all just to feel pleasure for selfish reasons. Now, as I said before, this does not mean that Lady Gaga is the worst, least influential person in
Born in 1890, Maria was raised in a good, Catholic family (sound familiar?). She was a very beautiful, virtuous girl who died a martyr. She was faced with the most difficult decision most saints have probably faced: Sin or death. In July of 1902, Maria was brutally raped by a teenage boy name Alessandro Serenelli. At first, Maria was well-aware what he was trying to do, so she tried desperately to stay away from him, even skipping work when necessary. She knew giving into his tricks would be a bad, immoral decision, and she would do nothing to offend God. However, Alessandro found a way to get the poor girl locked in a room by herself where she could never escape. Earlier that day, he told Maria to mend one of his torn shirts while he has harnessing oxen in the stable. Maria, of course, knew exactly what he was trying to do, but she was much too charitable to refuse his offer. Then, while she was generously mending his worn-out shirt in the kitchen, Alessandro began his master plan. He ran up the stairs and picked up a knife in the bedroom. Maria was extremely frightened, but she cheered herself up by making the excuse that Alessandro had simply forgotten his sickle in the toolbox. However those was sadly not the circumstances that had really occurred. A couple seconds later, Alessandro strictly forced Maria to come over immediately. Maria didn’t listen, so he grabbed her by the arm, and locked the door. Maria
