Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher, wrote: "Change is the essence of life; the only thing that remains unchanged is the law of change". By this, he meant that in nature, everything is changing all the time. The interesting example he gave was that "you cannot dip your hand in the same river twice". He explained that what happens is that after you have dipped your hand once, when you try to dip again the waters have moved and new waters are before you. Even if the water remains still, time has moved

Green Leaf: A Must Watch Netflix has become one of the most popular apps used to watch and keep up with television shows and movies. Currently, I began watching the television series Green Leaf. I recommend any and everyone to watch this show because it exposes the reality behind religion and churches, specifically in the African American community. The show unveils that the assumptions that Christians live the best life and that the church is the best place on Earth is fraudulent. The season begins

The selection of words do not speak to me in a contextual manner but, rather the tone or concern for the church, for example, compliance, portentous times, war, greed, and avarice, study, monogamy, unity, and differences. These words created a sense of conflict, disruption, and troubling times. From my twenty-first century mindset, I thought there must have been a very divisive attitude among the people and a lack of trust was rising. Using Other Scholarly Literature As I began to look more closely

The Character of Tom Buchanan In a world where wealth determines power, the character, Tom Buchanan, is an exemplary model of the American dream and how it is unattainable. Tom represents a lifestyle which is becoming increasingly more common, especially in the United States. In today’s society, infidelity is becoming more and more acceptable to each generation. F. Scott Fitzgerald could see this happening to society around him, and he, in turn, created Tom Buchanan, in “The Great Gatsby” to illustrate

Nisa is an interesting character that is the focus of a study conducted by Shostak. Shostak is a biologist that wants to learn more about the Khonsian tribe. A tribe that comes from distinct black Africans. Shostak states that they have fair skin, high cheek bones and are not very tall. In fact, they have an average height of five feet. Nisa begins to explain the culture developed by the Shostak people. She goes on to talk about the relationships between siblings, parents, and friends. As I read

were made equal. God intended for the two to join in union, but sin had separated them from his original design. It is from sin that exploitation and deception came, contorting marriage into polygamy and false love. However, Christ advocated for monogamy and equal stance in marriage, rejecting domination and unfairness. As said by Saint Paul, in marriage the two parties belong to and fulfill one another, with neither being lesser than the other. Those who are

Two Diaries, Donald Vining’s A Gay Diary Vol. Two and Martin Duberman’s Gay in the Fifties look into the everyday life of gay males in the post-World War II Era. While World War II increased freedom for men to sexually explore within the male community, post-World War II extended the freedom of exploration but also created a subsequent backlash against homosexual practices. Vining and Duberman’s diaries document an extension of gay freedoms in the post-World War II period. Although Vining and Duberman

Utopia: an envisaged place or state of things in which all facets are superlative. But, the question is: Is a perfect world attainable? The futuristic World State is describable as the quintessential world, however it’s only proven to be a dystopia. Although, the year 632 A.F. shows immense advancements in science and technology, the World State uses these advancements in creating a civilization which programs their population with specific traits, and placed in their own specific social caste based

same-sex and opposite-sex relationships and families (Frost and Gola 2015; Matsick and Conley 2017; Bernstein 2015). However, Warner (1999) argues that this push for marriage equality was an attempt at controlling radical sexual behaviors by rewarding monogamy and institutionally recognizable intimate partnership. Warner further claims “Marriage, in short, would make for good gays—the kind who would not challenge the norms of

The universe is amazing. I'm saying this as a human, trying to express the awe I feel, like any other of my species when they think about the vastness of the cosmos. Why doesn't another spicies or a primate feel this awe and express it by developing a language and technology to write it in a computer like this? Why is no other species even asking the previous question? This curiosity, which is a result of developed prefrontal cortex, leads us to try and understand ourselves as a species and other
