The best part about being a human being is our ability to look into ourselves, and see both the good and the bad. Sometimes we might see traits that we love about ourselves, and other times we might only see things we hate, but we should be able to see that all of it is good. This “good” comes from God making us in God’s image; by doing this God gives us inherent dignity, and value. And just as Bonaventure says we can use our internal reflections like a mirror to see God. This idea really struck me while I was reading, there is no way am I a mirror to see God. There’s no way you can see God through a blonde haired, blue eyed, 18 year-old, privileged white girl who has acne and is no where near perfect. But then I realized through the texts of the third …show more content…
In this text Francis describes again that we are made in God’s image and likeness, but because of this we can’t take undue credit for our talents and gifts, because after all they’re not ours to take credit for they’re God’s. Therefore it’s not a bad reflection on myself to enjoy my witty humor; in fact it’s a form of praising God. To praise God I have to appreciate that first my wittiness helps to bring out more of my outgoing nature. Because when I first meet someone again it might be an awkward situation, but by making a joke I’m able to alleviate some of that tension, and get the ball rolling on our hopeful friendship. Secondly, I have to take my wit for what it is, and as one of God’s gifts to me I have an obligation to try and alleviate the suffering of others by making them laugh. Obviously this isn’t always going to happen. But, I also feel like my wit helps me to see if I could be friends with a person, for example if I don’t make someone laugh with a joke that I find hilarious, maybe its better for me to put my effort into a friendship else
Dissolved oxygen is oxygen that is trapped in a fluid, such as water. Since many living organism requires oxygen to survive, it is a necessary component of water systems such as streams, lakes and rivers in order to support aquatic life. The dissolved oxygen is measured in units of parts per million (ppm). Examine the data in Table 4 showing the amount of dissolved oxygen present and the number of fish observed in the body of water the sample was taken from; finally, answer the questions below.

“I got up and pretended to study the pictures on the walls like I was a lover of religious art. When I got to the Merciful Mother right above Sinita’s head, I reached in my pocket and pulled out the bottom I’d found on the train. It was sparkly like a diamond and had a little hole in back so you could thread a ribbon through it and wear it like a romantic lady’s choker necklace. It wasn’t something I’d do, but I could see the button would make a good trade with someone inclined in that direction.
Chicago’s budget crisis has been one of the most unfortunate events of the decade. As a former student of Chicago Public Schools, myself and other students wanted the best for our education, but CPS school teachers and faculty are given the bad news that the City Council thinks we demand too much. Resulting in the Chicago Teachers Union strike of 2012, budget cuts, and many other events impacting things within the schools, it is no longer new to students, who also encounter what goes on outside, such as political news or neighborhood violence. Those in schools feel that it has been the place to be and to feel secure. Now that I have recently graduated, I have encountered a similar want for the best for my education through my college. As
To many people, a lie has little significance. Some people tell lies as a way to cover something up, make a different name for themselves, or just to make excuses. No matter what the situation, my father has constantly reminded me that the truth will set you free, and as I get older even though I am still in my youth, the more I realize the truth and importance of that statement. To me a lie is a form of disloyalty, the less you respect the person the more you lie to them as a way to cover up your true identity. A lie is when you mislead what is really the truth; where you don’t tell the full truth in order to deceive someone, or you avoid being honest at all. There are several different outcomes to
Class content for this week class did a good job at highlighting possible triggers that aging Veterans face as they begin to transition into different phase of life. One of the issues that stood out most to me from the video we watched in class was transitioning to retirement and how often times that can be the onset for many Veterans to reflect on repressed memories. The flood of these memories will often start a downward mental health spiral for many of these Veterans. If the mental health issue id not treated properly comorbid issues can develop such as substance abuse to cope with memories, homelessness and or suicidal ideation.
To tackle the housing affordability, first of all, it is crucial to lift the supply of housing as it will release the pressure on the housing price. Nevertheless, the supply of housing is inelastic as it requires an adequate fund, time, approval from the Government. Besides, the housing system is heavily dependent on the private sector. Thus, the Government should provide initiatives for housing providers to shift the supply of houses in the market. Australia would follow the policies from other countries to tackle the housing affordability. However, it has to fit in the Australian context. These policies might work well in other places but it does not mean that it will be applicable in Australia. The Singapore Government has a public
The word ain’t is one of the most commonly-overlooked mistake in the English dictionary. It is used very often in TV, books, movies, media, and music, so we shouldn’t be surprised it is now in our real life. Even though our English teachers and grammar textbooks label the word ain’t as incorrect the use of the word has not been banished and we have no idea if it ever will be. Since, it continues to be in our language, and we often us it we should be informed of its origin and its development. However, there are different opinions on the development. Most writers on this issue seems to agree that the word ain’t has not been fully investigated and needs further research. A look at the history of ain’t can help determine how this simple contraction became a serious error in professional writing and speech.
Define my worldview. First I will explain what is a worldview. A worldview is known as a framework from which we view reality and make sense of life and the world. Worldview is basic on ideology, philosophy, theology, movement, or religion that provides an overreaching approach to understanding God, the world and man’s relations to God and the world.
My name means promise/ agreement. My grandmother named me. My sister and I are 7 years, 7 days, and almost 7 hours apart 6 hours 42 minutes to be exact. My mom said that she thought God was trying to tell her something and that’s why I got my name. I also have two middle names Abigail and San Marie. My mom said that she wanted a Gabby and an Abbie so she made my middle name Abigail. My other middle name, San Marie, is also special because it came from my grandmother and my mom’s best friend. I love my name, and even though sometimes I feel like it’s really long and complicated the meaning behind it makes my name feel so special to me.
In many instances, individuals neglect to acknowledge the importance of school and a higher education. The individuals who view education as their number one priority see staying in school is important. Why is it important? Is staying in school going to benefit the student/individual? In this essay, I will explain why the literate arts are important and for what they are good. I will also give the opinions of others and what my views are.
What are dreams? Dreams are a series of thoughts, images, and sensations occurring in a person’s mind during sleep. My dream journal has much accuracy. My dreams all occurred while sleeping indoors, and I was not lucid for any of them. My dreams have a certain pattern in which is very very very confusing to me. My dreams are not meaningful, they are just full of terror.
Victimisation is the process of learning the various ways that authority figures determine who is a victim, while also educating the person on how to become the victim. Secondary victimisation, also known as double victimisation refers to the way the state responds to victimisation. The states response has the potential to add further burdens on to the victim. Three main components of the criminal justice system will be focused on in this paper; these are enforcement, adjudication and punishment. This paper will identify why the criminal justice system tend to commit secondary victimisation towards the victims. It will also discuss the pains of victimisation and how secondary victimisation has the ability to amplify these pains. The paper will also identify reforms that have been put in place in order to minimise the occurrence of secondary victimisation.
Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary[1][1] defines art as “the conscious use of skill and creative imagination especially in the production of aesthetic objects; also, works so produced.” This definition is inclusive of most forms of art. Unfortunately, art goes far beyond this limiting sentence. Art can be thoughts, aesthetic creations, musical compositions, or choreography. Art can be seen, heard, and/or felt. Art is concrete and abstract, at the same time. Art is expression and emotion. Art is anything.
The first text we explore in this step is Bonaventure’s “On Seeing God in his Image”. Bonaventure shows us that through inward reflection we can see God. God can then lead us to God’s two most important laws, and the best ways for us to live in community with others; by loving God, and our neighbors.
