Love Thy Neighbour

Being Straight Cannot Be Forced. Being straight cannot be forced through vices like straight camps or scaring someone with religious beliefs, being straight is a choice just as is being gay. Being gay is stigmatised in our modern society. It is dirt and pollution that needs to be cleaned up for these deviants to be considered “normal”. “But I’m a Cheerleader” is a film that displays why being a deviant is okay, or why it is alright to not be considered “normal” whilst also showing the downsides of

themselves, never as means to an end” (Kant, Heath & Schneewind, 2001). Without dignity there isn’t much of humanity, as we will be all “means”, used and maltreated. Common Good Common good falls into the first of the great commandments, “Love thy neighbour as thyself” (Mark 22:38). Breaking down this commandment expresses the golden rule conveyed by Hugh Mckay in he’s book, ‘The Good Life, what makes life worth living” (Australian Catholic University, 2017a). The golden rule allows the community

Even though thousands of people died during the persecutions, only few of them remained in history. One of the first Christians to die for their beliefs was Stephen. Stephen was stoned in the year 34 in Jerusalem by, with help of Saul (later known as Paul) as a wittness, Jews. What makes Stephens stoning so remarkable is that Stephen, being filled with Holy Spirit, still prays for mercy for his persecutors as they are throwing stones at him. In the eyes of Christians, Stephens death was similar to

For some, turning thirty is a big deal. For Opera Atelier turning thirty is an outstanding accomplishment few companies could ever compare or measure up to. Moreover, retrofitting Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas seven times in the companies history is a creative feat unto itself. I first became familiar with Opera Atelier in the 1990’s. A time when it was still considered to be an “indy opera company”. Fortunately, that label has changed and I’ve been able to witness the companies progression. I have

As kids, and onto primary schooling, we were always taught how to follow a story, beginning, middle and end. A plot that any five year old could follow and not have to ask questions. Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s novel, Chronicle of a Death Foretold, would make that same five year old want to cry of confusion and not just because it has a gruesome ending. Marquez’s novel explores the death of a man, but with his elaborate nonlinear plot style, we are dropped into a puzzle, confined by one person’s narration

Paola Moreira Garrity AP Literature 28 November 2016 KING LEAR Although Lear and Cordelia start with a continuous quarrel, the compassion between these characters has a sense of necessity in both their lives. Neither of their souls would feel content without one another’s compassion. The King’s dialogue was created in order to cause Cordelia to suffer. When the king first reprimands his daughter, he mentions, “When she was dear to us; her price is fallen,” (1.1. 215). This marks the dwindling

However, though Beda’s loneliness as an old woman is foregrounded here, Lagerlof does not create any essential correlation between age and loneliness. Rather, the loneliness she figures forth is more oriented to gender than to age. All the female neighbours of Beda are

Kingsolver’s Portrayal of Christianity in The Poisonwood Bible Kingsolver’s concern with Christianity is evident in the very title of The Poisonwood Bible. She uses ‘books’ to divide the novel into sections, which, with names like Genesis and The Revelation, reflect the books of the Bible. As the novel progresses, the structure deviates from that of its biblical namesakes: there is a shift in order - Exodus is placed centrally - and new books with titles such as The Eyes in the Trees are introduced

Preamble: The following are my observations of the human whom I tended most recently. I am now confident that with my guidance, they will follow the right path. ~ You sit atop that brittle step, with a gaze cast over the horizon. You see that familiar open field, cropped by two grey stacks, the wisps of wheat sway in the wind. You raise your mug and gulp, lips sliding down the smooth ceramic, then with the downward motion of the mug reveal the fauna at play . This truly unadulterated gap is where
