Bumper Sticker Coexism

My experience with Christianity began in the Roman Catholic Church of St. Helena’s in South Minneapolis. I grew up a die-hard; attending every week with my mother and sister. I never understood the concept of God, Jesus and the Holy

On Monday, I went to the local Crossroads Baptist Church, located at 850 Edwards Ferry Rd NE, Leesburg, VA. This was my first time experience as I am Hindu and my parents never exposed me to any churches. Dr. Kenneth K. Baldwin was the pastor at the time I went. Luckily, I got the chance to speak with him after the service. After our brief conclusion, I realized that he had a great vision for his church and is leading it to success through his passion. I sensed his passion for preaching and religious beliefs as they were evident during the service. Despite this being my first visit to a church, I learned a lot of valuable things about churches and Christianity.

Respect of and understanding that other people have differing opinions, views and religious/cultural beliefs, and how these beliefs may impact on building an effective,

The message I want to get across to my supporters is that in 2036 the economy and life in America will be positive. My look on the delivery was to have a word choice that rhymed so the tone seemed jovial and inviting. I choose to use red, white, and blue because they are eye catching colors and people will associate that the bumper sticker is a campaign bumper sticker. By not capitalizing every letter in the bumper sticker it conveys the message of, I am talking to you, rather than screaming at you. By having a space between Life is Great and Vote for Cate it allows the reader time to transition to a buoyant outlook on the Presidential campaign.

When I was around five or six years old, my family was stationed in El Paso, Texas after my dad came back from overseas. The church that my family attended every Sunday was the Church of God and Christ. The Church of God and Christ is where southerners say all of the “holy-rollers” attended or the overzealous Christians attended. My parents were not really holy-rollers themselves, but we attended this church because my dad wanted my family to attend to gain a sense of God and know about Christianity because he always attended church as a child while he was growing up in Mississippi and that helped him as he developed. He wanted my mother, sister, and I to be exposed to Christianity as well, especially my mom since she did not really attend church during her childhood.

Professor Christian is originally from Greenville, North Carolina although she has been all throughout Eastern NC. “Growing up on this side of North Carolina truly inspired my education” Professor Christian stated. She is also a mother and a grandmother and also “Loves the southeast and wouldn’t go north of the Mason Dixon line”.

In the first title, I found the conformity of social norms. And then in the second title, I found the cognitive roots of prejudice, stereotyping. Finally, in the third title, it had both in-group bias and an in-group and an out-group relationship just by observing the title. All in all the titles chosen had bias due to prejudice, which was shown within the wording of the titles. The solutions to conflicts or prejudice would be contact, cooperation, communication, and conciliation. These four ways can reduce prejudice within families, schools, and the communities. In 1966, in summer, 22 Oklahoma City boys were separated into two camps. When there were tasks to accomplish, the boys started to fight and considered a competition. I personally thought this was interesting because that is why we have the Olympics. They were created to “reduce” conflict. But as you can see in the theatrical or even the novels of the Hunger Games series, the games only create more conflict. Surprisingly the conflict that happens, resulting from the hunger games, does not happen in the case of the 22 Oklahoma boys (otherwise known as the Sherif’s experiment of 1966). Later on, when the boys are given a task, the two groups had to cooperate with one another in order to complete the task. And while they cooperated they socialized, communicated. The outcome of the contact was conciliation. Out of the four words, I consider communication the most important. Previously, when I spoke of the IAT, I said I preferred speaking face to face to get a valid result. Though communication can go on with rumors, gadgets like the lying detector can be used for trust purposes. In some cases using the lying detector seems unethical because it can possibly lead to someone thinking that they do not trust one another, causing conflict. But I find it ethical because the lying detector is used for justice, not

My life was a mess, I was a terrible alcoholic for 15 years. My life had many negative effects due to my addiction I had lost many friends and family became distant. I ended up in jail numerous times but the last visit about two years ago is when I found Christ and decided to turn my life into his hands, from that day forward I committed myself to helping others that have or are struggling with addiction. The Bible is my guide to encourage and reach out to those who do not know Christ and also for those who have turned from the woed. I just want to get a better knowledge and understanding of how I can share and better teach others as well as strengthen my relationship in Christ. I feel a better eduacation will teach me more of how to listen

Over the year I met many people, and I made many friends, however, one of my best friends named Carol. I met her twenty year ago. She is one of a kind person, and she is an evangelical Christian. I do not know much about evangelical Christianity, therefore this is an opportunity to learn about this religion.

Although I have grown up in a household where religion was practiced, I never had the chance to enhance my faith.This is something I want to change. I would like to be part of a community where spiritual growth can happen. I already know that Point Loma Nazarene University is a private christian affiliated university. I understand that attending chapel services is mandatory three times a week. This is something that I will need to get use to doing regularly but wont mind doing so as I know its a good way to practice my faith.

Getting people accept one another would bring our country closer together and form a stronger bond between the citizens. People will have the freedom to express who they really are without having to worry about being discriminated against. This will hopefully lower suicide rates and hate crimes. There is hidden evidence that proves that the proposed solution will be successful. The Presidents of the United States have had tremendous impacts on our country with their words. For example, George Washington convinced our country that if we stood together, we could defeat the British and live in a world of liberty. President Washington once said, “Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth,” (2001). Another example of a President having tremendous impact of society proving that this solution would work is the fact that on November 2, 2008, the first African American, Barack Obama was elected President. He had a huge impact on showing the world that discrimination against race was outdated and on the declining slope to be completely demolished (2017). Therefore evidence shows that benefits to society are present with this

“The Interfaith Amigos” is a TEDx talk by Rabbi Ted Falcon, Pastor Don Mackenzie, and Imam Jamal Rahman. The talk seeks to address the longstanding polarization of and often violent conflict between their three major world religions. They attribute much of this to a general “stuckness,” which Rahman illustrates through the metaphor of a Mullah and his cheese sandwiches. One major example of this “stuckness,” as addressed later in the talk, is the overwhelming racism stemming from misinformation and stereotypes around past and current events.

I did not come to know Christ until December of 2003 at the age of 25 at First Baptist Church of Gordonsville Tennessee. As a young boy, I had a desire to know GOD, and had even made a profession of faith, but never had anyone

Having a commonality will allow the gap in cultural, gender and ethnical differences to merge together. Example, there is an older lady that work with me who is very quiet and she is from Africa. Several coworkers whisper about her, stating “she’s evil, she’s scary, and she’s a witch”. I started talking to this lady and I enjoyed our conversation. This woman has so much wisdom that I felt like a little child sitting at the feet of my Parents. This woman stated “I know what people are saying about me and told me she’s not a witch and that she doesn’t get involved in other people business and that she sit and observe quietly and pray when she’s not working.” This woman is now known as the go to person if you need prayer. Because of this woman being different from what was considered normal she was labeled. According to the lecture for this week, “The challenge for us is to find ways to bridge the gap between groups. To do so, we have to develop certain skills and abilities. The first is to examine our own views of others, be they part of the minority or the majority group, a different social class, or a different gender.” (Bell, 2007).

I was born on the West Indian island of St. Kitts in a large Methodist family. I am the eighth of nine children, the second daughter after a long line of brothers. At the age of four, I was
