Old Testament‚ the Book of Job tries to answer an international question‚ why do humans suffer? Within the book‚ Job goes through trails to see if he would go against and overall curse God. In the end of the book‚ chapters thirty-eight through forty-two‚ Job was offered twice of what he had before the trails. I am satisfied with the ending and it does offer a better understanding to answering the international question‚ why do humans suffer? In the first chapters of the book‚ Job was the ideal man

In Judaism‚ Jews attempt to answer the question of why God allows sinister incidents happen to righteous people‚ also known as Theodicy. In the book of Job‚ God allows Satan to test Job to see if he would curse God if he took away his “7‚000 sheep‚3‚000 camels‚ 500 yoke of oxen‚ and 500 female donkeys;in addition to his great household” ( 1:3). This story elaborates on why this phenomenon continues to happen. The reason God allows misfortune to come upon his righteous followers is to test their

Therefore‚ I will try my best to analyze the cartoon’s message which is hope to communicate to people is Syrian civilians are in danger by the dictator‚ Assad and his government‚ and most people around the world have been trying to help them‚ except for Russia and China.

"People today are too individualistic. Instead of pursuing self-centered‚ separate goals‚ people need to understand that satisfaction comes from working for the greater good of the family‚ the community‚ or society as a whole." The passage suggests that people satisified with egoistic behaviors today but they should have learn that the satisification of altruism is the real one and strong one. I could hardly demur the statement. Indeed‚ it is necessary and fundmental for any one to satisfy their

In Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics‚ the idea of people finding happiness‚ which is the ultimate end and purpose of human existence‚ depends on having a moral character. The possibility of people being able to do the right thing would be more clear in situations where people’s lives may be on the line. Aristotle repeatedly reminds us that in ethics‚ there are no universal/absolute rules or laws in place that dictate how people should specifically act under specific conditions. Everything has the potential

How do people explain their own and other people’s behavior? ‘Behaviour’ is a term defined by psychologists as an act done by an animal in response to any stimulus provided by the outside world. An assumption held by many social psychologists when attempting to explain the reasons behind the action of people’s behaviour is that we try to find certain reasons that explain our own and other people’s action towards an environmental stimulus. This is also known as the theory of attribution‚ ie. We

The theistic argument that I think is most plausible is the Cosmological Argument. I think this because to me this is the only argument that is plausible because things do not exist without a cause. For example‚ people and animals do not exist without reproduction. People must have a first cause to be created and exist. “The cosmological argument for God’s existence goes like this: The world could not exist on its own so there must have been a first cause that brought it into being. This first

unethical activities by assuming bad behaviour is an inherent personality trait. "Only shady people do shady things‚" right? We assume the CFO who reports false financial data and the hedge fund manager who commits insider trading do so because they are inherently "bad people." The maxim of individual responsibility is comforting because it implies that‚ to eradicate criminal or unethical behaviour‚ all we need to do is identify and weed out the corrupt few. However‚ that maxim has two major flaws
