    After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, FDR issued Executive Order 9066, ordering all Japanese American citizens to be put into internment camps while on the other side of the Pacific, Japanese soldiers would soon capture and imprison American soldiers into POW camps. The American’s Japanese internment camps and The Japanese POW camps were both terrible conditions for a world at war, but the conditions and the lasting effects on the prisoners were starkly different. The books Farewell to Manzanar by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston and Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand show the stories of the Wakatsuki family in America’s Japanese internment camp Manzanar and Louie Zamperini in the Japanese POW camps (despite Zamperini being sent to multiple camps, Naoetsu…

    Adnan Sayed is guilty. I believe he murdered his girlfriend Hae Ming Lee in a case that has brought widespread public discussion through the forum of a contemporary radio show: Serial the Podcast. How do I know Adnan is guilty? Well of course I have no way of knowing, but in a completely different sense, I am completely sure. I know because I have lived with Adnan Sayed. I have been lied to by Adnan Sayed, and I am related to Adnan Sayed. With any familiarity to the podcast, one doesn’t have to cast their search light far to find someone with the same charm and smooth-talking mannerisms as Adnan. The essential theme of Serial boils down to a dilemma that becomes more chilling the more time you spend pondering the question; Can someone who presents themselves as so likeable and sincere, really commit such an atrocity? In that past few years of my life, I have discovered first hand that, yes, the charismatic and amiable man I loved most in the world, was capable of things unforseen to everyone.…

    “It is said that no one truly knows a nation until one has been inside its jails. A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizen, but its lowest ones.” (Nelson Mandala). Even in America, where we promote freedom to the world and that “all men are created equal”, we allowed racial persecution, maltreatment and abuse in our country until the 1960s. In the South men were arrested for being drunk, homeless and for being too “uppity”, they would take these men to work in coal mines, cotton fields, turpentine camps and timber mills to pay off their fines. These men were forced to work under conditions that were worse than slavery up until the beginning of World War II, where the death rate was as high as 40 percent.(Washington post).…

    Gregory Palamas was a late 13th/early 14th century man who wrote on the power of prayer.

Like Hadewijch, Palamas is believer that our words, hands, and feet be at the service of the Divine Will, also known as God. Though passionate about prayer, he still is a disciple of deeds. Though he believes the body to be naturally good, he still deems it important…
