Importance Of Rites Of Passage

I never realized before this class that these changes in my life were rites of passage every time that I was getting older as a person.Rites of passage have been in my life ever since I was born until now because as a child I transitioned from a fetus to a fully born baby,every single birthday that I ever had and continue to have,and even in the future when I get married or even when I die.All of my rites of passage were celebrated with a form of celebration as every birthday was celebrated with a birthday party, my graduation for both middle school and high school as I went through the ceremonies and parties afterward,and for my religious moments when I would have a celebratory mass and a celebration with gifts after each of all my events.Rites

Besides the sole proprietorship after reading I learned about three basic types of business organizations known as limited liability (LLC), partnership, and corporation. Sole proprietorship is a “business owned and operated by a single person. The business has no separate legal existence from its owner.” (Rogers, 2012) In the textbook it said “Partnership is an association of two or more competent persons to carry on a business as co-owners for profit. The business itself is not a legal entity.” (Rogers, 2012) The law says competent means a partner having contractual capacity and a partnership where each partners simultaneously a principle and agent. You can partner up with a minor but be wise to emancipation or be cautions because minors can void partnership agreements. Partners of a business are owners and managers automatically unless specified otherwise by partners but according to the law they presume equal rights. “Note that while there can be unprofitable partnerships, there is no such thing as a nonprofit partnership. The partners must intend to make a profit.” (Rogers, 2012)

I consider myself remarkably lucky to have a chance to touch upon a part, albeit a tiny one, of modern North American literature. Among the awesome short stories read for class this semester, there is one that impressed me above all others - Walk Well, My Brother by Farley Mowat. And the character that did appeal to me is Konala, a young Inuit woman, who is skillfully contrasted to a mean personality of the protagonist, Charlie Lavery, and who radically changes his idea of the core personal values. In spite of the fact that Konala is weakened by a fatal disease, she reveals a great deal of sincere selflessness and heartfelt readiness to help during their challenging journey.

The rite of passage that is most significant to me is the one in “The Electric Bugaloo”.I like the point of the story. Being Confident on yourself. I like it because of the meaning is significant to me.

The rites of passage that is the most significant to me is self confidence from "You Are the Eclectic Boogaloo". There are three reasons why I chose I chose this rites of passes. What you think of yourself is more important that what others think of you, your attitude affects the other people around you and if something bothers you, think if it will effect you later in life.

A recent rite of passage I went through was graduating from nursing school and becoming a RN. To complete this rite of passage I had to complete all the pre-requisites for nursing school which took me 4 years. Then I did the nursing program which was 2 years. To celebrate finishing the nursing program I attended a pinning ceremony which is a ritual where the nursing graduates get a pin that represents the completion of the education required to sit for the nursing boards. This pinning ceremony was more important than walking at graduation. The majority of my classes did not attend the graduation ceremony but all attended the pinning. Once I took the nursing license test I got a card that says registered nurse. I was finally able to call myself

In my opinion, American society lacks defined rites of passage. Many cultures have distinct coming of age traditions where individuals are given more responsibilities and freedoms; however, American society does not have a specific tradition. Responsibilities and freedoms in America are given gradually throughout the life of an individual. For example, individuals are given the right to drive at 16, the right to vote at 18, and the right to drink at 21. Individuals in America are given their rights through small milestones; however, this system causes many problems in American society. Individuals often do not wait for these rites of passage and implement some freedoms before they are of age. I believe the lack of defined rites of passages

Watching the news is a rite of passage for any newly crowned adult. It’s a sign to you and everyone you know that you’re a grown up god dammit, you keep up with what’s going on in the world. Because of the news you can name like 75% of the presidential candidates, you’re aware of every tragedy going on overseas, and each day at work you get to ask someone if they heard about the *insert feel good story here* that you saw the previous night. The news is making you such a well-rounded and mature human being.

Christians and Jews alike hold that death was not originally part of God's plan for Creation. God gave Adam and Eve a clear commandment with death as the consequence for disobedience. The LORD God gave man this order: “You are free to eat from any of the trees of the garden except the tree of knowledge of good and bad. From that tree you shall not eat; the moment you eat from it you are surely doomed to die.” (Genesis 2:16-17) After they disobeyed God, he pronounced His judgment upon them in Genesis 3:19. “By the sweat of your face shall you get bread to eat, Until you return to the ground, from which you were taken; For you are dirt, and to dirt you shall return.” In Genesis 5:2, Adam's life is summed up with, “The whole lifetime of Adam was nine hundred and thirty years; then he died.”

These ideals are very different from modern-day beliefs about death. Christian views about the afterlife include the two options for our souls after death: heaven- the happy, safe, and comfortable place where the good people go, and hell-the fiery, and dangerous place some go to if they made bad choices on Earth. Others believe in reincarnation, where a person’s soul lives on and takes the form of something else. Many people, no matter their religious stance, want to believe that there is something else after death, because it makes it easier when the time comes. It certainly eases some of the grief and anxiety that people face over death, and is far more comforting than the beliefs that ancient Mesopotamians held about death.

What happens to a person at death is a belief we acquire from our religion and culture. In Christianity we believe heaven is our reward for living a meaningful life. On the other hand as Christians we were taught to preserve life and avoid intentional death to selves or others.

     In the Garden of Eden, God only had on commandment, which was “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die” (Genesis 2:16). This was a very reasonable request that God made of Adam and Eve. God made all of creation for man and asked them to do one thing: to not eat from one certain tree. He gave them reign over all the other trees but this was not enough for man. The reason for the forbidden treat was to give humans free will in their choice. Man was tricked by Satan and ate the fruit from the tree. Before the fruit was eaten God’s and man’s relationship was perfect; Adam walked with God (Genesis 3:8). Once the fruit was eaten, the relationship between God and man was never the same. From then on, man could not live forever with God on earth, but man had to die and go to the final judgment. This is where it is decided if man could spend eternity with God or away from God in Hell. The only way to spend eternity with God is through Jesus Christ.

When I was reading Exodus 20:1-17 and focusing on verse 15-16 one of the business crimes that came to mind was theft and embezzlement because in verse 15 it states that thou should not steal and that means for no one and for anything. When an employee commits embezzlement that means they decided to take money from the company or business without their knowledge. For example if an employee is using the company’s money to fund trips or even by taking money just for the intent to take is considered stealing a embezzlement. Criminal fraud and commercial bribery both conceded with verse 16, which stated, “Thou shalt not bear false witness”. Which truly means that speaking falsely in any matter, lying, equivocating, and any way devising and designing
