Ecological theology focuses on the scientific and environmental aspects of theology. It tries to determine the proper relationship between nature and humans from a religious perspective. Throughout history, Christians have turned to the Bible for advice on almost every aspect of life, but only a select few have been asking questions about caring for the environment. The recent environmental crisis has caused an increase in interest for this type of theology over the past fifty years. Certain passages

Evolutions in scientific thought have often contributed to overhauls of the human perception and distinction between gender and culture. Consequently, scientific revolutions have also triggered sociopolitical movements, which have had negative and positive connotations on culture and society. This overhaul in scientific thought began in the 19th century with naturalist Charles Darwin and his theory of Darwinism. Darwinism states that animal species continually evolve through the complex processes

Many still seem to believe a “free” education is more than enough, when in reality, not many players are actually given a free education. While every student has the potential to earn financial aid and academic scholarship money, athletes are also capable of receiving athletic money. A majority of athletes today are either playing without an athletic scholarship or a partial scholarship, in addition to other grants and academic subsidies. To non-athletes, this may seem unfair, but look at the big

During the late 19th and early 20th century a popular new theory started to spread. Based in the ideas of Charles Darwin, the theory of eugenics came about. During its time, it was embraced almost unanimously throughout the world. This theory had very few objectors to the practice of eugenics. But what is eugenics anyways? Why was it poplar exactly? And what were its impacts on the world we live in today? Eugenics is a theory that had many different reasons for being popular, and many differing impact

Where Should We Draw The Line? Bring your partner, grab a seat, pick up your baby catalog and start choosing. Will you go for the brown hair or blond? Would you prefer tall or short? Funny or clever? Girl or boy? Envision a perfect society in which prospective parents can flip through a catalog and shop for traits to “design” their children. This imagined world may soon become possible through the rapid development of genetic engineering. Imagine the feeling once finding out you were made into the

Queen Elizabeth I was a protestant and after taking the throne established the Protestant Church of England as the official church in England (“Elizabethan Age Begins”). Queen Elizabeth also encouraged exploration by backing such explorers as Sir Francis Drake and Sir Walter Raleigh (“Elizabethan Age Begins”). Queen Elizabeth was known as the “Virgin Queen” because she was worried that marrying would weaken her power while on the throne.

In Emile Habiby’s The Secret Life of Saeed: the Pessoptimist and Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest the idea that names actually mean what they say saves these two works from becoming tragedies because it gives The Importance of Being Earnest a comedic plot, the names in The Secret Life of Saeed: the Pessoptimist represent present choices for Saeed, and the characters in both works inhabit worlds that do not reject the notion that names have meaning. The meaning of names is incredibly

1. According to my observations, assigned readings, and class lecture for Michael Andrew’s Lights IV: Pier and Road, Andrew uses a technique known as linear perspective to create the spatial recession in his painting. 2. In Michael Andrew’s Lights IV: Pier and Road, the two elements of linear perspective are an orthogonal and horizontal line. The orthogonal appears as the lines of the street, and a horizontal line occurs in the outline of the sea. 3. According to the label text and my observations

Genetic Engineering? No Way The future of the human race is in your hands. Though it may not feel that way in your everyday routines, the decisions you make will distinctively impact your children’s live, their children’s lives, etc. Genetic engineering is sparking questions among the human race whether or not it is the next step. Creating a test tube baby I in order for parents to conceive a child is one thing but genetically modifying the human race is against human nature. Genetic engineering

The book, Saint Ignatius of Loyola Personal Writings, was translated by Joseph A. Munitiz and Philip Endean and first published in 1996. This book contains many aspects of St. Ignatius’ life, from his reminiscences to his spiritual exercises. Inigo Lopez de Loyola was born in 1491 in Spain, the youngest of 13 children. Inigo became a soldier at the age of 18 and began to refer to himself at Ignatius. Ignatius becomes a man obsessed with his image and a life of luxury until his conversion into a devout
