“Who Sent the Earthquake and the Tsunami?”, is a manuscript written by Mr. Nollie Malabuyo. In this manuscript Mr. Malabuyo ask the question, “why do disasters Happen”, and “If God is a good God, why is there suffering in the world?”. Through several different Bible verses Mr. Malabuyo defends his belief, that God controls all things that happen, man-made or natural. He also uses Bible verses to explain why he believes God doesn’t interfere with world suffering.
According to Mr. Malabuyo when the earthquake and tsunami disaster hit South Asia on December 26, 2004 many people ask, isn’t God sovereign only over good, and not over evil? Malabuyo looked to the Bible for answers quoting, “The end from the beginning and from ancient times things
The historical accuracy of Selma's story has been the subject of controversy about the degree to which artistic license should be used in historical fiction.[79][80] The film was criticized by some for the omission of various individuals or groups historically associated with the Selma marches, while others challenged how particular historical figures in the script were represented. Most controversy in the media centered around the film's portrayal of President Johnson and his relationship with King. To people such as LBJ Presidential Library director Mark Updegrove[81] and Joseph A. Califano, Jr., Johnson was seen as a champion of civil rights legislation and a proactive partner of King, and they accused the film of falsely depicting Johnson

A democracy was brought into the city of Athens by Solon and Cleisthenes; it was Solons belief and changes to the civilization that made it easier for Cleisthenes to officially say he created a democracy. By 590 BCE the Athens were in complete economic, social, political and mural crisis. Economic wise the city state was barely able to feed itself and the farmers were buried in debt. Socially more people were in debt slavery. Political vying of aristocratic families was tearing the city-state apart.
Natural disasters are a part of our lives as humans. If you’ve never been in one then you've probably heard of one or been taught about one. There effects are devastating and tragic. Those who are lost in such unexpected ways are some of the most memorable and mourned. Though disasters may be more prominent in some places, such a Haiti, they are not specific to one place, rather found all over the world and endured by many. Throughout Leonard Pitts article Sometimes the Earth is Cruel, the idea that the Earth is undeniably, unwaveringly, and inescapably cruel is an important and prevalent theme.

Carvalho took charge and ordered soldiers and men to head to Lisbon and pick up the pieces while building shelters for survivors. Without question, this process took an overwhelming amount of time. The earthquake of Lisbon has brought much up rise on the reasoning or if there is reasoning behind this tragedy. Some questioned or believed that the earthquake was a punishment from God. But could God, the creator of Man Kind, do such a tragic thing? Or was it simply just nature? Voltaire and Rousseau are two philosophers within this time period that debate these questions. Voltaire is a well-known philosopher wrote about his reaction and reasoning behind such destruction. Even though it is a horrible thought, such destruction could bring positive outcomes for future
John Hick argues in this writing that the all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good Christian god is compatible with an abundance of suffering. He offers solutions to the problem of suffering which relies heavily upon a tripartite foundation. Hick divides evil into two: Moral Evil = the evil that human being cause - either to themselves or to each other. And Non-Moral Evil = the evil that is not caused by human activity - natural disasters, etc. He tries to explain that a world without pain and suffering, moral traits such as courage, patience and sympathy would not be developed.
Evil is in the eye of the beholder, sometimes a daily reality. To present the problem of evil you must first know that evil exists. Since God reveals himself as the all-powerful, all knowing and all good, how can the same God allow evil to exist and for bad things to happen to good people? Our suffering, as well as the suffering of others, vividly marks the presence of evil in our world. The majority of us struggle at one time or another in life with why evil happens to our family, friends, nation and ourselves. In recent news we also hear about particularly disturbing instances—a child raped, a school shooting, genocide in another country, a terrorist bombing. In this paper, I will review the literature from authors Robert M. Adams,
In the years 1994 to 2013, 218 people were affected by a natural disaster. These people who then seeked medical attention, should not have to pay for the damaging effects of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. If you put yourself in a life endangering risk, you should pay for the rescue. In the story The Seventh Man, by Haruki Murakami, the narrator is haunted by a devastating typhoon that took his best friend K’s life. The narrator had the choice of saving himself, or saving his friend, however fear took hold of him and ran the opposite direction of his friend. The second text used was The Cost of Survival, by Theo Tucker. It is an essay about weather survivors should pay for their rescue. The author categories two groups of survivors as risk takers and people with bad luck. The third text used was The Moral Logic of Survivor Guilt, by Nancy Sherman. It explains survivors of tragic events often carry guilt, and it is not always their fault what occurs. Survivors of natural disasters should not have to pay for their survival.
Nazi Propaganda in World War II deliberately used certain colors to subconsciously make more people follow their ideals and principles. Dr. Joseph Goebbels, Reichsminister of Propaganda, knew the power that color had on the formation of consent to influence minds. Goebbels recognized the science of what colors did to individuals subconsciousness and played on the will and emotions of the masses through his mind tricking usage of said hues. According to Daniel Broudy in the Communications Journal, The Propaganda of Patriotism and Color, different kinds of propaganda used hues of the red spectrum to predominate visual media that was designed to appeal and stir patriotic feelings.

Introduction: God guides and protects us through all crisis by showing his power in faith to overcome. Sometimes we ask God “help us” or “save us” only when a crisis is present in our lives and forget
Author explained in his sermon why God allows Tragedy and suffering in .... He said that God did not create suffering; mankind did. God gave us free will in order for us to truly love Him, but mankind decided to turn away from Him. When humans rebelled, sin entered the earth and corrupted nature and human morality. We are the ones who choose whether we sin or not, and that creates an effect resulting in a tragedy or a blessing.
Out of the recent natural and manmade disasters that have been occurring all over the country, one of them is the submarine from Argentina that has been missing for over a week. This however, brings up the question of what is to be the cause behind these disasters, whether God’s wrath from Puritanism or humanity’s ignorance from rationalism. An article from CNN reveals details and urgency of the search, including short circuit issue and the lost contact between the submarine and navy. Using the tenets of the two concepts and the article, the missing Argentinian submarine is in fact, the result of God’s wrath rather than humanity’s ignorance due the circumstances of which it unfolded.
Almost every religion in the world has a story about the “Great Flood” which destroys the earth, and each teaches its followers a different story about this disaster. While the Babylonians have the story of Utnapishtim from the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Judeo Christians have Noah from the Bible. Both men save a few people and many animals. In these stories, Noah and Utnapishtim seem to have similar situations, but a further analysis shows how truly different the two stories are.
