     Now that we have examined the character of God in these chapters, I would like to look at the barriers and the correct boundaries for humankind that were put in the world. As I have stated before, God possessed expectations for humankind. Only one man seemed to live up to these expectations. “Then the Lord said to Noah, ‘Go into the ark, you and all your household, for I

In contrast, in the story of Genesis God gave man dominion over all the creatures of the Earth. (Genesis 1:28) The man to this day, hunts animals of all kinds and disrespects nature, with clear-cutting of forestry and pollution.

Humans are God’s precious children. He created us from his image. God gave us the earth and animals for us the appreciate and care for, for its resources and food. Genesis 2:15

God’s command concerning the tree of the knowledge of good and evil provides man the moment of choice and self-determination, of free will.

Another difference between the “two” versions of Creation, more noticeable than the afore mentioned, is in their answer of why man was created. In Genesis I, man was created to rule over all the animals. In fact, a section of Genesis I:26 reads “and let [man] have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” In contrast, Genesis II:5 claims that man was created because there was no one to “till the ground.” The variation in each chapter’s answer to why man was created provides differing implications for the status of mankind. In Genesis I, man is supposed to be the supreme ruler, while in Genesis II, man was created merely as a servant of the land. Western religions, when viewing the status of humans, tend to take the first interpretation as indication of man’s role on earth, believing him to be superior to all other species.

Two different types of liberty are recognized in John Winthrop’s speech to the Massachusetts general court, natural liberties and civil liberties. Winthrop also uses an analogy of women to explain his understanding of liberty. Winthrop considers natural liberties dangerous for many reasons, but he mainly argues nobody enforces natural liberty which makes them dangerous, while doing so he uses an analogy to the status of women to promote his idea and understanding of civil liberties.

Unity has always been the goal of America. However, as their land expanded their unification fractured. From 1800 to 1850, America was separated between slave supporters and slave abolitionists. As America moved west, the conflict between the two sides increased because of the issues regarding southern farming, slaves states, and contradicting new laws.

Everything was created in one day. There were two Gods, Tepeu and Gucumatz. Gucumatz was the Feathered Spirit and Tepeu was the maker. Whatever they thought came to life (The Big Myth. (2015). They thought of earth and land formed. Following the creation of the earth, they thought valleys, pine trees, water and mountains. Tepeu and Gucumatz needed beings to praise them and protect their creations. So they created creatures. They wanted the creatures to praise them but they were disappointed. The first man was made from clay. He wasn’t good enough. The second men were made from wood. They were able to talk, walk and multiply. But they had no memory and no heart. They couldn’t praise Tepeu and Gucumatz. So they sent a flood to wipe them out. The animals were demanded to kill any of them that survived the flood. The ones that were able to escape became monkeys. The new beings were made from corn that the animals gave to their creators. Gucumatz and Tepeu made a paste and they created their beings. These beings were perfect to them. They were strong, rich in thought and feelings, and praised them. .They can see and understand to well. In fact, it was so good that Tepeu and Gucumatz had to take some of their vision. Four women were created and they all lived on the new land. These individuals were given wisdom and

“One of the most striking features of Indian societies at the time of the encounter with Europeans was their diversity.” Support this assertion with two clear examples.

he world of Asia between 500 C.E – 1500 C.E. was a patchwork of various languages, religions, and political views. Although the political stratagem, language, religion, and other beliefs of various geographical regions of the Asian world varied from one another and throughout the centuries, the prevalent system of courtly customs – spread by travellers who brought in such culture as they voyaged though this world – became a beneficial common language for establishing peaceful relations in places of elite.

I have tried my utmost best in all my courses; both high school and college courses. I made it my responsibility to take challenging classes that are taught by rigorous and strict teachers that will give me an understanding of the real world and college; there will be no exceptions. However, my academic record does not describe my character as a student adequately. For History 102, I was on track to receive an A for the class after the final, but my older brother sadly died, and I could not complete the course. I am going to retake the

When one approaches the biblical text, it is important to explore the cultural context in which the text occurs. With regard to the Book of Genesis, it is important to examine the writing with other contemporary works of similar geography and topics. The people of ancient Mesopotamia, where the oldest civilizations originated, produced a number of stories of creation and natural occurrences. It is important to note that many of the stories of the Sumerians, Akkadians and Hebrews began as oral traditions as the events they depict predate writing, so it is difficult to date these works on the basis of when these prehistoric myths were initiated. Comparison to writings contemporary to the people of Israel, can offer a deeper understanding of

The two historical documents, Narrative of Lavinia Bell written by an anonymous author in the Montreal Gazette and the Letter to an English Abolitionist by James Henry Hammond, shared their strong opinions on the important issue of slavery. These documents were written in the 1800’s during an era of progressive changes. One can identify similarities and many differences in their opinions, motives, and goals for their writings. I believe Bell’s account was written to show the perspective of slaves’ brutal view, compared to Hammond’s letter justifying slavery and the rights of the slaveholders.

And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” (Gen. 1:26), he was speaking of someone that is strong, smart, and worthy of having control and power over the blessings he has created.

In Genesis 1:28 God says, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.” By giving humans dominion, God wanted them to tend to the earth and take care of it—instead of dominating it—in the same way that he tends to humans and takes care of them. This shows that God gave humans authority over other beings for the purpose of nurturing them just as God has authority over humans which he uses for the purpose of nurturing. In this way humans’ authority shows that they are made in the image of
