The Significance Of The Ten Duel Commandments By Lin-Mel Miranda

There are many commandments in America. Most of them are very important in our society. Some are written rules, and some are unwritten. They go from not stealing to saying bless you. All Americans should follow these seven commandments to show that they have respect and manners.

My opinion the ten commandment was to display us how negligent we are and how severely in need of a savior we are. The Ten Commandments were never given as a set of guidelines to live by. They were given to show us our utter failure in the eyes of God. I think people do in general have the correct perception of the original purpose of the Ten Commandments as a covenant. There is a pattern to the covenant found in the bible. People been using the Ten Commandment to identify to people what they shouldn’t do.

A man challenging another to a duel was not an uncommon event in Colonial America from the 17th to the 19th century. Duels were only legal in certain areas and they had a strict set of rules outlined by the Code Duello of 1777. In a duel, the men would meet along with their representatives, or “seconds,” to decide on a weapon, which could include either a sword or a gun. Then, the group decided on the distance of where they began. The man who was challenged was allowed to fire his weapon at the other first, and then the man who initiated the duel was allowed to fire. Most often the intention of a duel was not to kill a man, but to restore dignity after an insult; therefore, the participants often purposely missed. One of the most famous of these duels was the one between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton.

The first rule and most important commandment in my opinion is to treat others the way you want to be treated. This is a very basic and well known unwritten rule but yet not many people abide by this rule. People tend to treat others as if they are of less importance or of lower class. Everyone is equal and everyone has the same rights so nobody should feel

The Ten Commandments are regarded as the fundamental laws that all Christians are to conform to. They were written by the hands of God himself and revealed to Moses on Mount Sinai, inscribed on two stone tablets. They offer basic rules of behaviour for spiritual and moral living to Christians. These laws still instruct Adherents today, for they expose sin and show us God's standard. Without the sacrifice of Christ, Adherents are completely helpless to live up to God's holy standard.

Have you ever thought of how and what made everyone want to follow the law nowadays? Hammurabi’s code and the Ten Commandments were two early (not the earliest) codes of law that were used in the ancient times as methods of justice, both of the laws shaped society then and now. Hammurabi’s code goes back to ancient Mesopotamian culture that flourished way before the Bible was written or the Greek and the Roman civilizations had even developed. Hammurabi made a collection of 282 laws that established values of manner and justice for keeping order in his kingdom. God engraved the Ten Commandments on stone tablets that were given to Moses and the population of Israel. Even though the code and the commandments

[“I order you to be silent! And I issue a collective challenge! I’ll write down your names, step forward, young heroes! You’ll all have a turn; I’ll give each of you a number. Now, who wants to be at the top of the list? You sir? No? You? No? I’ll dispatch the first duelist with all the honors that are his due. All of you who want to die; hold up your hands does modestly forbid you to look at my naked sword? No names? No hands? Then I’ll get on with my business I want to see the theater curved of this boil. Otherwise I’ll lance!]

During many duels, the opponents follow “Code Duello”. In the book by Ellis, “Code duello” is followed in one of the most historically and influential American duels. This duel helped change the views of many people. This duel is important historically and politically. Therefore, this duel is important for the shaping of America.

In a recent article, Richard Bell argued that dueling was regarded as a form of suicide in the early American Republic, which was considered morally repugnant. Vocal anti-duelist reformers also rhetorically insisted the bloody contests were a unique “species of murder,” although “suicide became the motif of choice for reformers who worked to instill proper fear and disdain for a cultural practice that persisted on the margins of respectable society.”

The commandments that refer to religion are not included in our laws or even the Constitution. The Ten Commandments have no association with our laws. It is estimated that only three of the commandments are similar to the laws we have set today. These commandments would be, “Thou shalt not kill," “Thou shalt not steal,” and “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour” (Price). In today’s law, the Ten Commandments simply have no role. Be that as it may, the Ten Commandments are still taught and followed

For some reason back in the fifties the bible was a good source for movies, and you have to understand one of the reasons will be found in the strength of genre movies. “For the director, there were certain advantages with working within a given genre. Because the characters, the plot, and the conventions were already established, they provided the director with a kind of cinematic shorthand greatly simplified the task of storytelling.” (Boggs, M., Petrie, D., 2008 7th Ed.) The original movie was shot in 1923 as a silent film which was also directed by Cecil Demille. The cast of the 1956 remake of the Ten Commandments were cast from the original silent film. The production of this film was good for that time period. The production crew had it easy when it came to the cast, due to most of the cast came from the original film from 1923. The props, scene, and setting that the production crew used were great, for an example in the film Ten Commandments, the scene with Moses bringing down the ten commandments from the mountain top after talking with God. When you look at that scene the production crew does a good job with the dark clouds and the fire like orange colors in the setting of the clouds. The mountain that was in the back ground of Moses really stood out in that scene, when Moses gave the ten commandment to the children of Israel, he stood on the mountain and with his red over garment blowing in the wind

A poem is often defined as an art form used to express yourself, which evokes emotion in its reader. However, there are poems with another purpose besides making the audience feel something. Some poems are used to educate, inspire, or give advice to it’s readers. Two poems that offer excellent advice about how to live life happily and successfully are “If” by Rudyard Kipling and “The Paradoxical Commandments” by Dr. Kent M. Keith. Rudyard Kipling, the author of “If” and Dr. Kent M. Keith, the author of “The Paradoxical Commandments” give both similar and different advice, but this advice is directed at two different audiences because of the way it is presented in the poems.
