I hope that you’re having fun at your confirmation retreat and that you’re getting a lot out of it! I didn’t quite have that type of preparation when I was confirmed, and I think if I did, I probably would have picked a different confirmation saint. I had picked a saint whose name sounded good with my name already, and looking back on it now, I think I probably should have picked a saint that I was inspired by. I hope that you have found a saint that inspires you!
When you get confirmed, you become an adult in the church and it leads up to becoming an adult in life. There’s a lot of stuff going on in the teenage years. You have the obvious things, like school, important tests, and preparing for college. But there are also a lot of personal …show more content…
It can be really hard to have someone that means a lot to you to disagree with something that you believe so strongly in. Over the past year, I have gained an understanding and strong belief in feminism. There are people that I’m close to that don’t quite understand what I’m saying and don’t agree with some of the aspects of feminism. Having this type of conflict in my life has taught me something really important: respect. Even if you disagree with what someone is saying, it’s so important to stay level headed in conversations with them on that subject. A lot of times, just because you speak the loudest, it doesn’t mean that you’re being heard. If you have respect for the person you’re talking to and stay calm, that person is going to have respect for you. You may not change their mind and they may not change yours, but you’ve shown them that while you disagree with them, you respect their point of view. Hopefully, they’ll respect your point of view too. But most importantly, even if people close to you disagree with your opinions, if you believe in your opinions and they’re important to you, do not let anyone ever make you feel bad for what you believe. Even if they disagree with you, no one has the right to say that your opinions aren’t

False Confessions Case Study

...did not do. Many individuals tend to make false confessions because they feel pressured into doing so. This pressure sometimes comes from themselves, the police officers, and how susceptible the individuals are to suggestibility. The interrogation process, age, and other vulnerabilities among adolescents is what makes individuals confess to something they did not do. This has been evident in many cases in the United States, and other studies that have tired to prove this...

Brain Response

...Think about an experience, positive or negative, that has affected the course of your life. Post a 200- to 300-word response to the following: Do you think this event changed your personality? If it has changed your personality, how has your personality been changed? If the event has not changed your personality, why not? How much of your personality do you think has been determined by environmental influence vs. genetic influence? This particular checkpoint is very difficult for me to answer, however because it has affected my life and changed my personality it is one I must answer. I was raped at the age of 4 by my father’s best friend. My mother had given me up to my 19 year old father and I lived with him and “Tommy” his friend since 2nd grade. I looked to him as an Uncle and by all accounts adored him. I can vividly remember almost every detail of the room, the day, what I was wearing and what I was thinking. Tommy had blonde curly hair that was long and he was standing at the door way completely naked. I remember thinking that this doesn’t seem right and that he shouldn’t be doing that but at 4 and no one around what could I do. I had not realized until later on in life what all exactly happened, however upon moving back with my mom at the age of 8 I knew something was not right. I would have nightmares and describe a man with curly blonde hair and a doorway. This was a reoccurring dream that disturbed me deeply. My abusive emotionally and physically mother...

...The message was that if a Provider sent in a Sample Claim Form and if the form was missing information, they could confirm with the provider what the correct information was, then insert it into the form themselves. What Channel was used to send the message? The message was sent through an E-Mail message. What was the misunderstanding that occurred? In the E-mail that was sent the manager loosely worded the new exeception to the Sample Claim Form rules. In the explanation she did not site that we would need to provide written confirmation from the Provider that was missing information from their Sample Claim, that states the Network Development team has permission to add the missing information. Since this small detail was not added, when the representatives heard the information, they thought that they could gather the information needed from other documents submitted by the Provider, and insert it into the form without gathering a confirmation from the Provider that the information is correct. When the representatives began a large project, one of the representatives inserted the wrong billing information into the form without confirming with the Provider, which caused the Provider’s claims to be delayed. This resulted in an angry provider who terminated his contract with the company and stress between the relationships of the Network Development Reps, the Credentialing Department Manager, and the manager of Network Development.

Rite of Passage

... It is a time when one separates themselves from everyday surroundings and society and takes a ‘sacred voyage’ or journey to a special place, a sacred place. This place is often where one endures hardships or tests that cause a person to think about all they have learned and have been and who they really are and intend to be. This stage is often called the initiation and is marked by a challenge or struggle. It is a time of overcoming, a time of accomplishment and at its end one emerges a changed person returning to their daily existence. They are reintegrated into society in a new way, a new person. An example of a rite of passage here in the United States among adolescents could be found in the Catholic Church practice of confirmation. In the Catholic Church, babies are baptized at birth. This is the parents and congregations commitment to raise the child...

Ch 6 Summary

...ch y Psychology can assist law enforcement by profiling criminal suspects assessing in truthfulness of suspects and evaluating the validity of their confessions. Psychological theory and techniques can be used to improve police officers evaluations of criminal suspects. * Profiling is usually performed at the beginning of criminal investigation when the police need help focusing on certain types of people who might be the suspect * Once a suspect has been identified law enforcement officials use other procedures to determine whether any of them should be charged. * Police look for visual and verbal cues to determine whether they are giving truthful responses Suspects are sometimes given a lie detector test to encourage them to confess. * The tests provide more information about their guilt or innocence. * They conflict with some psychological findings about their accuracy. * Sometimes they are submitted into evidence. * Many psychologists question the validity of the test. The police interrogate suspects and encourage them to confess because the confessions make it more likely that suspects will successfully prosecute and eventually convicted the suspects.

There is some evidence psychological characteristics are linked to behavioral patterns and they can be detected by a psychological analysis of crime scenes. * Criminal profiling is used to...

Confessions

...Natural Effects on a Boy Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Confessions has the entire life of its author’s experiences, virtues, and detailed imperfections. Rousseau’s Confessions is one of the first notable autobiographies and has influenced many forms of narratives. It inaugurated modern day autobiography and inspired a narrative technic used in many great novels. Rousseau wrote this autobiography in order to tell the world about himself and express the nature of man. He did not want to be known by how people thought of him, but rather be able to tell people exactly what happened in his life and let them be the judge. Rousseau begins Confessions by stating, “this is the only portrait of a man, painted exactly according to nature and in all of its truth, that exists and will probably ever exist” (57). He included embarrassing experiences and personal thoughts from throughout his life to show every possible virtue of his life. He portrays what every boy encounters from mischievous trickery to entering sexual adulthood. The events that change his life and himself become a consistent theme while he describes his childhood, sexual cravings, and natural thoughts of a boy’s life. One of the most common subjects in Rousseau autobiography is the story of his childhood and the nature of a boy. Rousseau’s mother passed away during his birth, which strained the relation between him and his father. When they tried to speak of her the conversation would end with tears because his father saw Rousseau’s...

Dantes Poem

...Name: Course: Tutor: Date: Influence of “The Aeneid” and “Confessions” in Dante's Poem Dante in his poem “"The Inferno" talks of his journey to hell and back. He narrates it in the form of an autobiography. The poem does, however, indicate a strong influence from Maro's "The Aeneid" and Augustine's the "Confessions." The influence from the two in the “Inferno” range from the themes, concepts, literature devices and the language styles used. Maro Virgil, the author of the poem “The Aeneid” was a controversial figure in most Christian texts at the time. His influence in the “Inferno” is clear because Dante uses the name for the leader in the poem. Virgil is an influence in the poem rather than just a fiction figure or character. Dante does not borrow directly from the Aeneid, but expresses his own ideas in different twist. A major difference in the texts is that while Dante uses the underworld to denote hell, Virgil extends the physical world, as we know it. Dante feels that the pagan Virgil is contradicting in his ways, and Dante’s hell is an extension of Virgil’s underworld. Virgil influenced the way Dante denotes hell in specific circles or steps. While Virgil had only three; Tartarus, Elysium and Lugentes Campi, Dante had nine; Limbo, Gluttony, Lust, Greed, Anger, Heresy, Violence, Fraud and Treachery. Apparently, it is also clear that the concept of underworld is yet another influence Dante received from Maro’s “The Aeneid” (Maro 930-939). Throughout the “Inferno”...

Augustine's Conversion to Christainity

...Christianity Augustine's confessions give a very vivid account of a life that was full of temptations and obstacles. Even as a young child, he faced tough decisions (whether to learn in school or play). And, when Augustine was punished for these actions, he would pray; yet he felt his prayers were not heard. This I believe caused a little doubt about God (Christianity) in his young mind. Even though his mother tried with great effort to introduce him to Christianity, he sought out his own course of spiritual enlightenment. Augustine's struggle with commitment to Christ can be largely attributed to his love of fleshly desires (women). He mentions on several occasions about the desire he had to be with women. Yet he understood to fully convert to Christianity, he had to let go of these lustful desires. There were two events that led to Augustine's conversion. The first event is when Continence embraced him in a loving manner and encouraged him to "Cast yourself upon him and be not afraid." "He will receive you and heal you." This gesture pricked Augustine's heart. For he knew that his heart and soul needed healing. The second event occurred when he was crying bitterly and heard the voice of a child telling him to "Take and Read." He realized that there were no children around; and so he attributed this voice that he heard to something divine. Once he retrieved his book of scripture, he opened it and read (Romans 13:13) which gave him confirmation or reaffirmed what he...
