For me personally‚ in one word‚ democracy means freedom. More in depth‚ democracy is much more complex because it allows all citizens to have an equal say in many different decisions that affect lives. Democracy allows citizens of the United States to equally voice their opinion through elected representatives and by the creation of new laws and the freedom of speech. The country used to be run under communism which was much more controlled than democracy. No one was allowed to own their own

multiple meanings‚ allowing it to be interpreted in different ways even though it remains essentially unchanged. Resolution * The second type of ambiguity occurs when two or more different alternate meanings are used as one. That essentially means using two different metaphors at once‚ neither lessened nor invalidated by the comparison. These metaphors aren’t at odds with each other as they may be in other types of ambiguity; they’re simply different. * Sponsored Links

It’s how we live life with God’s presence and it brings us closer to God and our faith. Also‚ sacramentality is when God shows His grace‚ and by that‚ I mean with every sacrament He is here with you. One of the sacramental connection that relates to the meaning of my necklace is confirmation. The reason behind that is that my grandma expects me to be responsible and to be a great leader.

reference. One of the greatest mysteries of our existence is how God can allow the suffering of innocents. Daily we are bombarded with images of seemingly needless suffering‚ of children starving to death‚ diseases‚ war victims and car accidents. Why does God allow this to take place? Blake uses the creation of the Tyger as a metaphor for the creation of suffering “What immortal hand or eye could frame thy fearful symmetry?” The ‘immortal hand’ clearly refers to the almighty who fashions the ‘fearful

When someone says they’re Jewish‚ that can mean a couple things. Either that is their religion‚ or their ethnicity‚ it could even be both. Judaism is the term of following the Jewish religion. Judaism isn’t a religion based off of one single founder or central leader‚ nor is it based off theological decisions made from a group. The Judaism religion is better described as an Israel way of life that’s based off of the Tanakh. The Tanakh is essentially a different version of the Christians “Old Testament

Heraclitus is known to have said “you can’t step in the same river twice”. In my opinion‚ this means that change is so constant‚ that no specific event or action could ever occur more than once in a person’s life.

Falling in love at first sight tends to be regarded as a cliche way of thinking‚ but I truly believe that had I not been paying attention to

Patriotism‚ to me‚ simply means love for one’s country - a supportive‚ respectful love that is big enough‚ and secure enough‚ to also question‚ challenge‚ and face the shadows of the past or present‚ without fear of rupturing that deeper connection. If your love for country‚ like your love for a person‚ is based mostly on ideals and images‚ it is unstable and therefore needs to be rigidly defended. It may be loyal‚ but it isn’t wise. For me‚ healthy patriotism is somewhat like the healthy‚ intimate

Question‚ has the number or percentage of heresies increased or decreased over the past 400 years? The reading in Being Christian was very good about dissecting the Lord’s prayer. It gave us good perspective to what it means. It encourages me that in the third century they were asking the question‚ if God knows what you are going to ask‚ why bother to pray? It shows there are things we will never understand and remain a mystery but I like the response one had to that which
