At the beginning of the lab, a micro test tube with and without glass wool was weighed on an analytical balance. A watch glass, crucible, and lid were also weighed. The masses of all the materials needed for the lab were recorded in the data tables of the laboratory notebook. An unknown vial was obtained from the teacher and set to zero on the balance. About 0.6 grams of the unknown was measured into the micro test tube. The analytical balance was set to zero again and then the test tube with the unknown was measured and recorded.…
Undoubtedly, Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kamph stands as one of the most historically destructive mediums of discourse, promoting the pseudo-scientific and bigoted ideologies reflective of the Nazi Party. It is then in question, due to recent publication controversy, whether Mein Kamph should be produced for public access. In a fundamental sense, our acceptance of the book’s republication is a question of morality and human capacity: Are we able to critically analyze and learn from Hitler’s damaging beliefs, or will Mein Kamph simply act as a means of promoting an otherwise shadowed intolerance? Within limitations, it is my belief that Mein Kamph has a place in contemporary literature, so far as it is critically studied without reserve, and regarded as a text that teaches of human’s capacity to negatively propagate and influence others.…
In his book Richard Rodriguez argues the idea of using “family language” at school should not be allowed because it separates the students and makes it harder for them to comprehend one another.By doing this,Rodriguez utilizes imagery, anecdote, and pathos.…
The idea of one dominant republic has been around for centuries. As times have changed and people have evolved, technology has grown and stronger ways with all of them. New World Order is one of man-kinds deepest darkest most kept secret the universe has ever heard of, although thankfully nothing major has occurred one man made the attempt. Adolf Hitler and his secret police for years plotted and strategize on how to take over Europe. Backed by propaganda, fascism, and Hitler’s every own 25 points, or laws he was able to change the world forever. In this essay I am going to analyze Mein Kamp, The 25 points of Hitler’s Nazi Party, Hitler on Propaganda, and What is Fascism; to try and get a better understanding of the thoughts and ideas running around in people’s heads during 1932-1944.…
Megalomania and the lust for power have never been more brilliantly portrayed than by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, the famous Russian novelist, who represented this type in the character of the Grand Inquisitor. In his short story of the same title, a fictional Jesus returns to earth in the sixteenth century to face a corrupt Church. As head of the church, the Grand Inquisitor had a long and intriguing conversation with Jesus right before condemning him to death. Jesus faithfully believes what man needs more than anything else in his life is freedom from the oppressive yoke of the divinely Mosaic Law. By having this freedom, people can decide freely on what is good and bad for themselves without consciously thinking of what God told him to do. But the Grand Inquisitor explained to Jesus that truth and freedom are sources human anxiety and because of that in deep down people really don’t want to be free due to the fact that they are fragile, violent, worthless, and seditious. The Grand Inquisitor stated that human race can only be happy when give up their freedom and bow before miracle, mystery, and authority. Is only then that people live and die peacefully. The Grand Inquisitor noted that beyond the grave, people will find nothing but death. He continued but we will keep this as a secret, and for their happiness we will promise them with the reward of heaven and eternity.…
1. The Bible clearly speaks of God the Son, God the Father, and God the Holy Spirit. But emphasizes that there is only ONE God. The Trinity is a way of acknowledging what the Bible reveals to us about God is the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. That God is three "Persons" but all exist within one essence. In other religions we also see one Supreme Being, being created into other gods/goddess and given certain strengths or is the reason for a creation. Within Christianity all powers or strengths and creation comes from one source; God, because of this I believe that Christianity is still considered a monotheistic religion.…
The Age of Ideologies is a big part of the church history spanning from the year 1914-1989. Some of the most common ideologies that were viewed during this time were Nazism, Marxism, and Capitalism. In this essay one should be able to see how these ideologies effected the evangelical and ecumenical movements.…
is the belief in Jesus Christ, who is the trinity (the father, the son, and the holy spirit.) This…
Compared to the technology we possessed before 1980, Our technology today is significantly more advanced and it is only the beginning. As the use of technology has increased dramatically in our everyday life many argue that it can be very useful, but others can say that technology only seems to be affecting the way Millennials think and process information. Mark Bauerlein is a prime example of this way of thinking, he declares that all of those under 30 years of age, also known as the Millennials, constitute the dumbest generation of modern history; and technology is the main culprit.…
Sojourner Truth in her speech, "Ain't I a Woman?" demonstrates that she's tired of inequality and fights for women's rights by having comebacks to the white men that don't think negro women like herself should have rights. In Malala Yousafika's interview, she views education as a gift and feels girl should also have the right to go to school. Both of these women feel women are as capable as men. Sojourner and Malala both express defiance against the law, show persistence for what they are fighting for, and fought morally for women's rights.…
The false prophets of Mormonism teach that Jesus Christ was the first spirit child of Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. He was the spirit brother to Satan. Jesus is separate from God. He was the creator of the world (Eckman, pg. 101).…
Do you want to have everything decided for you? Does that make you feel safe and comfortable? How about confused and concerned? Do you see too many laws that restrict your freedom? Government protects people from threats and is not to unnecessarily legislate that restricts freedom and governs morality but to leave that to the realm of individual responsibility.…
Moral obligations can be seen a variety of different ways, depending on the person. Some may think it is a person’s moral obligation to submit to a law even if they believe the law is wrong. Others think the opposite, if a person believes something is unjust why would they follow it. Everyone has a different point of view and after reading The Scarlet Letter by Hawthorne, The Letter from Birmingham Jail by Martin Luther King Jr., Laws Scarlet Letter by Korobkin and Lyceum Address by Lincoln, it is important to follow ones conscience. This may seem unjust, but is it just to support an unjust law? This is where the controversy comes in, and why after reading these three types of literature, the idea of supporting something unjust is completely wrong and breaks down the justice system.…
In the face of adversity, the beliefs of an individual may be greatly altered, or even liquidated, leading to the lack of execution or bad behavior. Even if a person with strong beliefs and morals is put into a difficult and unexpected situation, they may completely and unwillingly disregard their beliefs and morals and act accordingly, or not at all. Around lots of people, when bystander apathy or diffusion of responsibility is present, the individual may be affected by it as well. In Night, Elie knew that his father was “on the brink of death, and yet [he] still abandoned him” (Wiesel 11). Elie had prayed to the “God in whom [he] no longer believed” to never abandon his father, yet at such a difficult time, he simply did it (Wiesel 97). In the Perils of Obedience, the subject, Prozi, first “[refused] to take the responsibility” because the subject was in there “hollering” (Milgram 23). Immediately after the Experimenter said that he was “responsible for anything that happens to him”, the Prozi simply said “all right” (Milgram 23). This proves that the majority of people in a difficult situation will simply wait for somebody else to take responsibility for any wrong doings, or lack of action at all. If the experimenter remained silent, Prozi would have immediately stopped, knowing all responsibility lay on him. In the face of adversity, anyone’s beliefs can be changed, either because the individual is dumbfounded and doesn’t know what to do, or because they know that the responsibility of something horrid, is not…
Their beliefs about God and man are vastly different than those of Christianity. Mormon Theology teaches that God used to be a man on another planet, but through good works and following his own God, he became to be how we know him today. This means that God is not eternal, and that he had his own creator. The Mormon doctrine also teaches that The Biblical view of God is that there is one God, three persons, and one essence. This means that all three attributes of the Trinity, which are the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, are all together and exist as one God. The Bible confirms this with verses such as John 10:30, which says “I and the Father are one”. The Mormon view of the Trinity is quite different. Mormons believe that each member of the Godhead is its own separate God, and that they do not exist as one. The instead believe "That these three are separate individuals, physically distinct from each other [...]” (Slick, “A Comparison...”). Mormons also believe that God used to be a man on another planet, with flesh and bones. They believe that God had a father, and that he resides “near a star called Kolob” (Slick, “What does Mormonism Teach?”). They also believe that God has a wife, who is called the Mother Goddess. God and his wife both possess physical bodies and are exalted. They produce spirit children, the first of which was Jesus, and eventually lucifer and all human beings. This means that Jesus…
