Whether I was writing, ministering, eating out, or simply talking with friends, all work, all things, all I did was for the advancement of the Lord’s kingdom. For the work of “a Beethoven” or the work of a “charwoman” were all the same in my eyes; for both the workers, their work should be “offered to God” and done “humbly” “as to the Lord” (Eshlemen, 2). Although I struggled with cynicism, this way of living life challenged and brought new meaning to my life (Lindslay, 3).

This way of living my faith truly required me to be quite public and open with my thoughts and beliefs. My faith was not always outright and public. When I was young, my family was my first spiritual influence (Eshlemen, 5). My faith started when I was young, but was shattered with the death of my mother when I was ten years of age (Lindslay, 1). This tragedy shook who I thought God is. The death of my mother affected me deeply. In fact, in college, I denounced the protestant

Daniel Solove writes in his article that the “nothing to hide” argument is a terrible argument, because privacy is important to everyone and everyone has something to hide. Solove writes that if you break the argument down to its core the argument means nothing. Solove addresses the argument for the “nothing to hide” belief by stating why some agree with the argument because the argument can be protection against acts of terror, then describing how the government knowing everything on someone can cause plenty of problems as he describes. Solove takes the explanation of privacy to a place that most people ,if not all ,can relate to just to define privacy more than the general consensus. Solove gave a few

This essay aims to discuss the argument both for and against the claims that Irish Travellers should be recognised as an ethnic group. An ethnic group is defined as "a category of people who identify with each other based on common language, ancestral, social, cultural, or national experiences" (Bailey 2010).
