In the book‚ “More than a Carpenter‚” Josh McDowell shows how Jesus Christ was more than just a teacher of good principles or a significant person in history. He was God in the flesh who entered the world and exclusively proved His deity. This book shows how Jesus is different from religious historical figures‚ guides the reader through proofs of Christianity‚ and logically shows that Jesus Christ was Lord. He shows that Jesus would not have died for a lie and that if Jesus did not rise from the

Human beings are more alike than different “Human beings are more alike than different.” This is a statement that may be argued by many people. Personally I agree with this statement because even thought‚ all of us are unique individuals‚ but the purpose of our existence is the same. Humans are greedy‚ greed is a feeling where we want more than what most people have in the world. People are this way because of society and the world in general. People all want money‚ we cannot do much unless we

They have constant weights on their shoulder; they are always having constant reminders of what their ancestors have been through and what they’re going through now. On the off chance‚ the police are in danger‚ it’s not during a peaceful protest.

People now are more concerned with making more money and what money can buy. The more money they have‚ the greater they think of themselves. Is money really important? Does money guarantee you success and happiness in life? I do not think so. People who are materialistic are the kind of people who do not see much in life. They only see life as a medium for them to make more money and be happy. To me‚ being materialistic is a waste of time‚ not to mention a waste of effort in making so much money

Do you think you’re beautiful? What is beauty anyway and according to whom? It has never been harder for people to feel good about themselves. Ironically‚ we have more “things” to help us in the process—technologically advanced makeup‚ an abundance of expert advice about nutrition and exercise‚ and even drastic medical procedures such as elective cosmetic surgery. But still‚ many people in our society feel unattractive and unworthy. Beauty is something that we all crave for – but what exactly

(1) A common stereotype of sociologist would have to be that they generalize people into categories. After reading “Is Sociology nothing more than Stereotypes‚” I came to the conclusion that this title is invalid for sociologist. It is true that sociologist generalizes people‚ but on three key conditions which are they do not apply any generalization to a catgory‚ use avaliable facts to square generalizations and to be fair-minded‚ to obtain the truth. For example in the text‚ Marcia’s brother states
