    Heroism in Othello         Who are the true heroes in William Shakespeare’s tragic drama Othello? What is their perspective on making deep sacrifice for what they believe in? Let’s find the heroes and analyze their perspective on suffering voluntarily.   Helen Gardner in “Othello: A Tragedy of Beauty and Fortune” considers Iago’s wife Emilia to be a true hero of the play because of her fearless outlook on death itself:   Emilia’s silence while her mistress lived is fully explicable

    practice; how do I preach a word that is true to my beliefs, is theologically sound, and is of spiritual value to the receiver in their own context? At the very basic level of my theology, I believe in a creative force that has brought all things into being, and this force is the ground of all being; it holds all things together and wishes to move all things toward the force’s goal for creation. We can call this the numinous, the mana, the Supreme Being, God—for my theology the term is

    was Supposed to be Easy! I remember being a young, naïve boy getting ready to venture off to my first semester of college at the Lord’s school: Brigham Young University. I was ready to live away from home, stay out however late I felt, and eat as much ice cream as I wanted with no repercussions. Life was going to be amazing! My dreams were soon shattered as was bombarded with homework and essays from all my other classes but there was a light at the end of the tunnel: Religion. I was especially excited

    Tommy’s Testimony So tommy, what was your life like as a kid? As a native of Massachusetts, I never cared much about school. And with parents that didn’t care if I went to school either, I just didn’t take the time to go. I mean, why would I sit in school and listen to a teacher rambling on about some useless information. This got me into trouble at a young age. I started to pick up the profession of theft. This got me into prisons all over New England. As you can image, it wasn’t too good of a life

    think to question the validity of the pledge of allegiance, in particular the section that states "For liberty and justice for all". Does the United States government abide by this pledge and give every citizen, including the lawbreakers, justice? In my opinion, I do not believe that every citizen is given a fair trial under the current drug laws created by the government, which results in a higher rate of unreasonable prison sentencing. A former member of the U.S. House Committee rebukes the drug

    being a member of my Quaker in-group involves being prepared to right this particular misconception and also being willing to explain what Quakerism in fact is. This, I think, is what makes Quakers different from most other religious denominations in America—we frequently have to explain who we are and where we came from (what we believe) *"What we believe" goes better with "practices" below. This creates a strong sense of group identity, for I have to know and be able to explain my in-group’s history

    there is no way to overturn a verdict. It is possible for there to be flaws such as false testimonies, inaccurate forensics, and even bias from the jury that could cost an innocent person his life. Therefore, the death penalty should be repealed because it is impossible to be one hundred percent certain every time that an individual is guilty of the crime he is being charged with. Like anything in life, it is possible for there to be mistakes in forensic science. There’s a chance that up to,

    there is sufficient evidential proof. He tells us no testimony sufficiently establishes proof of a miracle unless its falsehood is more believable that the testimony itself. For example: Becky saw pigs fly. We must ask the question “is the false hood of this testimony, greater than actual event that was previously?” Hume identifies, that there has never been a situation, in all of history, where there were sufficient men to provide testimony for a miracle, and all were so full of integrity, that

    concealed, unbeknownst to all but the most careful of searchers. The same holds true for a book. Whereas one is able to easily glean information like plot events and facts, true significance must be sought through careful application to one’s life and diligence in acting upon what is read. A deeper meaning lies behind what I read in the Bible. In the past, I mindlessly read text but never interpreted or applied it to my life. I treated it as just another story to be told, despite the fact that others

    During my junior year of high school, my history class had to create and complete a trial about a historical event and this experience helped shape my attitude towards school because it reminded me that through hard work, great rewards are gained. This trial was one of the requirements for my junior year history course. The class was divided into two groups; one group represented justification and the other group represented unjustification. I was part of the unjust group. My group’s task was to
