Technology: Defining Life Today
How Our World is Viewed Today

ENG122: English Composition II

Technology today is becoming more of an advocate for how many people today address art, media and philosophy. Being in such a diverse world, how we choose to associate what we know is how we learn to get by in our day to day lives. Learning and believing in what is reality verses fantasy and how choose to allow it to exist in our world; it’s all based off our philosophy growing up. Being in school and learning about history and what our teachers teach us we start to question what is going on in this world. Then we watch television and see thing that is different from what we learned in school or religious setting and we are taught to be creative, don’t be a follower and have your own mind but then we are told pig are pink, the grass is green and the sky is blue then we question why is the sky gray today, and then the grass is brown and our creativity is thrown out the window. So how we choose to look at the world in which we live in we then began to define what the arts, media and philosophy really means to us. Organized religious groups should be political groups advocate to those in their religious groups. I feel this because if they don’t have a leader how would they know what to believe in, and how to choose what religion to go with. Religious convictions have implications, immediate and remote for what religion citizens think about political issues. (Greenamwalt, Kent). Even though I believe that religious group’s show be political advocate, I don’t believe they should be held responsible for the action the people in the groups take. People should be responsible for their own action. As a Christians I believe in God and I was taught that God is our number one savior. Growing up in such a diverse I learned that in other religious they have other savior and people in which they pray and give thanks to. I do believe in God and lots of things I

    Organized religious groups can be political advocates as well as tend to spiritual needs of people. There is a possibility that they will strike a balance. Religion is a way of life, a cultural behavior. People work in their churches and live through the laws of the practice. Political advocate is the act of pleading or arguing a case or a position; forceful persuasion (The Fee Dictionary, Farlex, 2013). Politics and religion are equally influential. It will be possible for the two to strike a balance and cannot be combined.…

    In today’s society technology has changed so much that some people can’t keep up with the changes. Over the last century there were wired telephones that started out the size of a college algebra book. The people of that time was grateful to have such communication capabilities and didn’t have a problem with the size of the phone.

    “Should Religious Leader Get Involved in Politics?” The New Times: November 21, 2013.Print.The main thesis of this article is that religious leaders should not join politics. Umutesi believes that religious leaders should play their role of spiritual and moral nurture of society because that is their primary role. Religious leaders are supposed to serve the God of their religion only. If they join politics, they would have to serve two masters. These two things will cause a conflict because it would mean that the leader would have to put more time and effort into one thing than the other. Politics is known as a dirty game, a religious leader shouldn’t be involved because they are suppose to encourage integrity and morals. If a religious leader were to join politics, it would be easy for that leader to influence and manipulate their followers with a particular political ideology. It’s a bad idea for a religious leader to join politics or to share their political interest or beliefs because it can separate their flock, even though religion is supposed to be unifying factor in society. This article supports my thesis that religious leaders should not be involved in…

    In this era, the need to have ethical leaders in politics is wanting. The number of vices is arising at a very alarming rate. Regardless most people insist that politics and church are like oil and water never to be mixed. Religious leaders should strive to lead the people towards the Supreme Being and not away. Religious institutions like churches have been converted into political arenas where the pulpits have been converted into political stands driving away followers who go for spiritual reasons. For instance take Kenya’s very own Bishop Margret Wanjiru and Pius Muiru who have politicized the pulpits and are getting more members into their churches for the wrong reasons. Religion and politics for instance in Palestine everything is related to Islam where people are restricted from doing whatever they want, but instead have to follow the strict rules.…

    For a long period of time, the way of life for most people were long, tedious days at work, with not much to show for, hardly any time to spend with family, and being fortunate to come home in a mildly presentable. Thanks to technology, most of these issues have been touched upon and improved. With inventions such as the steam engine, the water frame, the cotton gin, and the spinning jenny, our modern day might not have been so fortunate or plentiful. With the help of these inventions in the industrial revolution, post-revolutionary inventors and entrepreneurs were given the inspiration for their creations that led to the efficient lifestyles we live today. Although these new technologies made life a bit more bearable, there were still problems such as the lack of safety precautions and the amount of hours put into a single workday. With the help of time and new inventors, these problems were fixed, and the initial inventions were improved to better our lifestyles. Even though these primitive machines had very much noise pollution with all the screeching and grinding of their clogs, our modern lifestyle might still reflect those of the period prior to the industrial revolution without these breakthroughs in technology.…

    Technology in a broad sense is any knowledge or tool that somehow makes our lives easier. For some societies, technology is more often related to electronic equipments, such as the “smart-phones”, little portable computers that have everything in one device, it accesses the internet, has GPS, compass, games, video camera, photo, music and, if one needs it, can even make phone calls. On the other hand, in many other societies the wheel is still their most advanced technology. That is the notion I tried keeping in mind while figuring out what technology I would give up for this exercise. I want to find what is more essential, what I really rely on.…
