...Do you wish to be rule under totalitarianism ? Most people do not want to live in a country that is ruled by totalitarianism because it oppresses the human spirit. Human spirit or “Spirit of Man” can be defined as our mental part that includes our intellect, passions, fear and emotions. In the novel 1984, Winston believe that the spirit of man is strong enough to undermine a society and that the party of big brother will be defeated eventually. I agree that the “Spirit of man” is strong enough to undermine a society such as that created by The Party, and I believe Winston’s belief is applicable to the world we live in today. First of all, I total agree that “Spirit of man” is strong enough to undermine the society depicted in 1984 because...

...paper, we shall discuss the social organization, gender roles, and the influence of social change on the preservation of their culture. Social Organization [pic] The Batek who are inhabitants of the rainforest have built in villages where each village has an approximately a dozen huts on stilts, and the plan of the huts is rectangular. The raising of the huts allows for proper movement of air and not because they have settled or constructed their huts conveniently along the river. The area is sandy and man seems to have cleared it. Endicott (1984) explains more that various factors such as the roof-span are limited and the widths of the palms determine the shape of the huts and their size. The frame of the huts comes from an assortment of hardwood, bamboo makes the walls of the huts, and pitched roofs of the huts are in a way that they overhang the walls. [pic] According to Endicott (1984), the Batek people live in harmony with one another and have the communal spirit in them and even through the way; they carry out their day-to-day activities. In the villages that they have constructed, one end has a hut that is open on one side, which the Batek community uses to shelter themselves from the sun or rain, and there is a...

........................................................5 Bibliography.......................................................................................................................6 Introduction Charles Haddon Spurgeon is one of the great minds and powerful proclaimers of the Gospel in the Church Age. However, the years leading to Spurgeon’s conversion were wrought with a profound intimacy with the doctrinal idea of total depravity of mankind. This and other influential experiences, Spurgeon’s biblical and theological foundations, and his personal applications of theology are the focus of this study. The author will, with the support of Spurgeon’s words, prove that without being drawn by Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit, man does not have the personal will to come to Christ because of his depraved nature. Influential Experiences The purpose of God through the life of Charles Spurgeon was effectual from the very beginning. The upbringing of Charles Spurgeon was of the quality as to lead one to believe that the child that came from that home would be of his best behavior. Spurgeon was the son of a pastor in the Independence (Congregationalist) belief in...

In the novel 1984 by George Orwell, the author provides a warning for the reader about what we should not let happen to our society. Much like 1984 our treatment of them draws a parallel between our two societies. In society and 1984, people thought of as heroes have even been considered criminals because of their actions towards society in addition to this they are constantly face inequalities. Historically, many people who were viewed as heroes were once considered to be criminals as well.

...Novel Notes “1984” Step 1: Dean, Michael, and George Orwell. 1984. Harlow: Pearson Education, 2003. Print. * George Orwell was born in Bengal, India as Eric Arthur Blair. Orwell is a novelist, essayist, and critic. * He had strong opinions and addressed some of the major political movements of his time. * Orwell’s father was stationed in India and stayed there when George, his mom, and his sisters moved to England. Orwell and his father never had a strong connection. * Orwell composed his first poem around the age of 4, he then struggled in the years to come with getting his writing career off the ground. * Also wrote Animal Farm, a novel attacking Stalinism. * Once graduating from the university he became very interest in political matters, which led him the writing of 1984. Step 2: What is the significance of the novel’s title? Orwell originally envisioned the title to be "The Last Man in Europe." But his editor, Frederic Warburg told Orwell he should change it. Therefore it became 1984, as we know it today. But there is much speculation as to where 1984 came from. There are two ideas I learned about. 1. Orwell, in 1948, may have thought a simple, two-digit end switcheroo would be a good title. 2. Or named it after his wife’s poem, "End of the Century, 1984." What is the novel’s setting in time and place? Does setting influence characters or actions? How much time is covered in the story? * Setting Time & Place:...

...that “in one the one person of Christ there are two entire natures, the human and the divine, including two wills’. (Ewell, 1984, 2001, p. 872) The Bible makes it very clear that Jesus was both all God and all man. John 1:14 says, “The Word (Jesus) became flesh and made his dwelling with us.” (NIV) and Galatians 4:4-4 says “But when the time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive the full rights of sons.” (NIV) We see by these scriptures that Jesus was in fact a man, a human being. The Bible also makes it clear that Jesus was in fact God on earth. Philippians 2:6-7 says,” Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:” (KJV). In John 14:9 Jesus said, “The one who has seen Me has seen the Father” (KJV) and John 10:30 Jesus said, “I and my Father are one”. (KJV). God Himself claims Jesus as His son in Matthew 3:17 “And lo a voice from heaven, saying, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” (KJV) making Jesus equal with God. That’s why the Pharisees were constantly trying to stone Jesus. Because Jesus called God his father making Jesus equal with God, the Pharisees thought He was blaspheming. Jesus can be both God and man at the same time because “a human nature was inseparably united forever with the divine nature in the one person of Jesus Christ...

He began his traveling over Galilee, healing and teaching according to Mt. 4:23; Mk 1:39, this also speak of His healing a man that was plagued with lepers Mt. 8:2 (Bible, 2005). But His first miracle was turning the water into wine at a wedding Jn 2:1-11, (Thomas, Gundry, 1984). When he decided to go back to Capernaum there was a paralyzed man, whose friends carried him for Jesus to heal, but because of the crowds were not able to reach him, so his friends made and opening in the roof and lowered him down where Jesus was sitting for him to be healed. When Jesus saw their faith he said to the paralyzed man “Son, your sins are forgiven” Mk 2:3-4, (Niswonger, 1992). Jesus then called the Levi (Matthew) the tax collector to follow Him as one of the disciple. Also in Mark 2 verse 16, the Pharisees became upset when they saw Jesus eating with the sinners and publicans and ask his disciples why did he eat with them? Regardless of their zealous devotion to religion their spiritual principle was drawn from below (this world) and not from above (God). Their spirit was maliciously and actively hostile to the spirit of Jesus, employing men to spy on him, they bribed men to tell lies against him. Jesus began to travel from south of...

...attending St Mary's Teaching College, Newcastle. However, in 1976, Neeson joined the Belfast Lyric Players' Theater and made his professional acting debut in the play "The Risen People". After two years, Neeson moved to Dublin's Abbey Theater where he performed the classics. It was here that he was spotted by director John Boorman and was cast in the film Excalibur (1981) as Sir Gawain, his first high-profile film role. Throughout the 1980s Neeson appeared in a handful of films and UK TV series - including The Bounty (1984), A Woman of Substance (1984), The Mission (1986), and Duet for One (1986) - but it wasn't until he moved to Hollywood to pursue larger roles that he began to get noticed. His turn as a mute homeless man in Suspect (1987) garnered good reviews, as did supporting parts in The Good Mother (1988) and High Spirits (1988) - though he also starred in the best-to-be-forgotten Satisfaction (1988), which also featured a then-unknown Julia Roberts - but leading man status eluded him until the cult favorite Darkman (1990), directed by Sam Raimi. From there Neeson starred in Under Suspicion (1991) and Ethan Frome (1993), was hailed for his performance in Woody Allen's Husbands and Wives (1992), and ultimately was picked by Steven Spielberg to play Oskar Schindler in Schindler's List (1993). The starring role in the Oscar-winning Holocaust film brought Neeson Academy Award, BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations for Best Actor. Also in 1993, he made his Broadway debut with a Tony-nominated...

...“The Christian Life” Presented to Dr. Jason Epps for BIBL 425 B10 (LUO)– Romans by tvwells Date October 5, 2015 Paul’s letters to the Romans was written to address specific situations, therefore, it is considered occasional and not systematic. “But in God’s providence, those situations are such that Paul ends up addressing issues of perennial theological significance.” [1] (Moo) One such issue is “The Christian Worldview:” our beliefs about creation, sin, salvation, eschatology, ethics, and theology. Creation “For the invisible things of Him [God] since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity” (Romans 1:20). In Romans 1:20 Paul teaches, every since the world was created God’s invisible qualities, His divine nature and power has been seen. His majesty, and his excellence is illuminated in the works of His creation. Paul echo’s a passage from Psalm 24, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for He founded it on the seas and established it on the waters.” (Psalm 24:1-2) Paul delivers a warning to the unrighteous, stating, “the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness who suppress the truth…” (v. 18) “ because God has made it plan, therefore, “you are without excuse.” (v. 20) He urges the unrighteous to learn from nature, and worship its creator, not His creation.

...As humans, we judge ourselves by how others perceive us and seek to conform to an almost universally accepted, but still unspoken, code of ethics relating to the basic treatment of our fellow man. It is this inherent value that we place on others and expect others to attribute to us that make us different from animals and it is also what is missing to a large extent in Orwell’s “1984” and Ishiguro’s “Never Let Me Go”. The futility of relationships in these works is part of what makes the worlds in which they are based seem so bereft of hope and consequently, dystopic in nature. Never Let Me Go is a supreme dystopian example of a modern day 1984 because the authors give hope to the characters and the audience, they both have an intrinsic human emotion to hold on to, and the people’s future isn’t clearly explained. The vision of humanity’s future, the only truly acceptable thing to ‘love’ is Big Brother. The Party restricts all other love so as to break down the ties between family, friends and lovers whilst transferring this loyalty to the Party itself as a form of control. The Party is said to have, “cut the links between child and parent, and between man and man, and between man and women.” This does not just show the breakdown of relationships, but the reduction of the self. The Party is removing the essential links that allow humanity to be more than a collective of individuals and instead uses this to its own ends, although what these are, beyond a desire for control, we...

... 2. Body a. A chosen life, why me, Lord? b. Qualities of a Deacon c. Ordered by God 3. Conclusion a. Is it worth it? 1. A deacon, a man, a chosen life and servant of God, yet still human and prone to failure; God has His intended appointment for His people. As a church deacon, you must stand for, and on, the gospel; and live as though your life depended on it, because it does. Your life, though you go about day-by-day doing as you will, belongs to God first, the church that you serve, your community, than yourself. I hope to enlighten my reader to the facts of this office, and then the reason it is so important. Rabbi Helen Gelof was a longtime friend of the family, and she just had a way about her. She had grace, knowledge, determination, and a great love of God and those around her. “I believe that a life chosen by God, no matter whether Jew or Gentile, you must follow the law given by God. Rabbi, priest, pastor, or deacon; any leader in a church or temple, God has laws and restrictions in each. Just remember, you cannot always please man, but you must please God always, Shalom”. (Gelof 2008) She knew when God spoke to her, and she did listen! Much like the disciples, she knew the sound of God’s voice. The seven chosen in Acts 6 were: “Stephen a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte from Antioch.” (God 1992) These men were prayed over and then, with the...

...1984 is a book written by George Orwell in 1949. At first it seems like just another ordinary book until you read it and realize how similar the society in which Winston lives in is to our society now. The society in this book is one that lacks amenities just like North Korea. Winston is the main character in the book 1984. Winston is special because right from the start you can feel that he has some kind of different feeling towards the party, he isn’t deeply in love with the Party and Big Brother. I feel that Winston knows he is disgusted by the way the Party controls everyone due to the fact that he blames the Party for the death of his parents and sister. We know this because in Book 2 chapter 7 Winston wakes up crying and explains to Julia that he was dreaming about his mother and father and sister. He...
