1 Corinthians 9:22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some (New International Version). This scripture stated by the Apostle Paul was used to declare his commitment, not only to God, but to mankind. His statement created a model not only for ministry but for healthcare. In a culturally diverse society it is important that each provider attempt to put the needs of the patient before their own in order to provide

The phrase Sikh refers to “disciple” in Punjabi, or those who see themselves as disciples or followers of Akal Purakh, the ten Sikh Gurus, and the sacred scripture, the Adi Granth. Sikhs worship Sri Guru Nanak; Guru Nanak was born in 1469 to a higher caste merchant family in a village which is near modern day Lahore, Pakistan. At this time a lot of India was under the Muslim control including the Punjab. The story behind Guru Nanak is that he went to bathe in the Vein River and during this bath he

Luther King, Jr. said, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today!” On page 349 in the Guru Granth Sahib Ji, I recall it say’s, “Recognize the Lord's Light (Spirit) within all, and do not consider social class or status; there are no classes or castes in the world hereafter.” In first grade, I read about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s goals most of them

contrast. Sikhs lifestyle was created by Sikh Guru. Overall, Sikhism has based on the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev as well as the following nine gurus (Sikhism vs Christianity, 2010). Teachings are compiled within the Holy Book known as the Guru Granth Sahib, which serves Sikhs eternal guru (Sikhism vs Christianity, n.d.). In addition, decreed by

to whitewash Sikhs who do not attend religious practices, do not believe in the culture that much, and everything about their heritage is fading away. Religious Sikhs get up in the morning before dawn, take a bath, and then start praying. A Sikh is required to attend the Gurdwara as a part of their daily routine or often as possible. A religious Sikh is baptised known as “Amrit Shak”. Being Amrit Shak, you need to follow the meaning of the five K’s. The five K’s symbolize Sikhs who are dedicating

today in Sikhism is the Granth Sahib. In my essay I will describe the Sikh religion in small detail, I will talk about their history and formation, their ethics and throughout my essay I will talk about how the people in the Sikh religion follow the book throughout their life, and how they use it for everyday guidelines and answers. I hope to explain why the Sikh people don’t see the Granth Sahib as just for the followers of Sikhism, but they also say Granth Sahib is a guru in which everybody, no

And the performance of them is, as the scripture signifies it to be. Their central feature is the Guru Granth Sahib. One of the rituals would be the naming of a child where the name is chosen from the Guru Granth Sahib that “is opened at random, and a name is chosen beginning with the same letter as the first composition on the left hand page” (Pechilis 237). Due to the Sikh “the child derives his or her identity

“In India you are not judged for what you do, but for what you are.” With this one sentence author George Orwell depicts colonialism and racism in the novel perfectly. Burmese Days by George Orwell tells the tale of white Englishmen, and women, ruling over the native Indian population during the early 20th century. This was during an era of colonialization in which native Indians had next to no rights and all laws were made by the British in power. This created tension on both sides and racism

Throughout the novel A Passage to India, by E.M. Forster, and Burmese Days, by George Orwell, the authors use race, culture, economics, and liberal humanism to discuss various colonial issues. These issues include controversies, power structures, injustices, and the idea of syncretism between the colonizers and the colonized. A Passage to India focuses largely on using culture and liberal humanism to explore issues of colonialism while Burmese Days mainly uses race and economics to explore these

Burmese Days was one of George Orwell’s first books, and the intro states that “As a policeman in Burma, George Orwell saw the underbelly of the empire; not the triumphant bugles or bejewelled Maharajas, but the drunken sahibs pickled by heat and alcohol in mildewed clubs, the scarred and screaming Burmese in their prison cells” (Orwell Reader 2). The described Burma sounds repulsive and unappealing. George Orwell must have seen Burma in a very different light after working as a policeman. George
