...version of Nicaea’s creed. This creed is the one we use to this day in Christian masses. The controversy was from the non-Nicene Christians and the pro-Nicene. Eventually the creed was revised and the non-Nicene group became isolated ecclesial groups. The Nicene Creed was revised through reading scriptures to understand the meaning of the spirit is within the father and the son. Process: * The council was called by the Emperor to end disputes on if God was three persons or one person with three characteristics. * The Nicene Creed is still used today from back in 381 when they revised it from the previous Nicaea’s Creed. * The spirit is the spirit that dwells within us all and the community. Many forget through all the material things that doesn’t matter how pure we are but it is more the spirit from God that makes us holy and pure. Challenges: * The idea of how the controversy evolved around God being three different people or God being his own individual and the Son and spirit are their own character. It becomes very confusing. * The complexity of the Council of Nicaea and how many were present and voiced their opinion but many just wanted to believe in their own ways without fully answering the dispute. * Another challenge is that wrapping my mind around the disorganized process that the Council arranged that no one really know the true answer to the controversies that seem to go on for centuries and centuries, we have to just remember the faith and the...

...KUSUM WHAT ARE CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES Controversial issues are those that have a political, social or personal impact and arouse feeling and/or deal with questions of value or belief. Controversial issues can be local or global, such as bullying, religion, politics, personal lifestyle or values. They are usually complicated with no easy answers and are issues on which people often hold strong views based on different sets of experiences, interests and values. Almost any topic can become controversial if individual groups offer differing explanations about events, what should happen next and how issues should be resolved, or if one side of an issue is presented in a way that raises the emotional response of those who might disagree. CAUSES OF CONTROVERSIES Following are the causes of controversies in social studies: * Social study is concerned with the development of society. This drags it into the various problems of conflicting, antagonistic and contradicting forces of tension and development. It cannot be neutral. It has immense power of moulding the attitudes and habits of people. * While, controversy is inherent in social studies the teacher’s...

...Hamlet and Lord of flies essay. “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in the moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy,” is a strong quote by Martin Luther King Jr which is a statement that I think is true. A man cannot be judged on his actions when he is comfortable, but when he is going through challenges and hardship. Literary work that shows this is true is in the book Hamlet by William Shakespeare, the character Hamlet is found in conflicts and dilemmas that he cannot solve. This quote is also true in Lord of the flies by the character Ralph who tries to find out who the beast is but cannot see that it is the savagery between the boys on the Island and the character piggy...

...current scholarly views of this ancient text including the origin and timeline of the Earth. The Earth has been in existence for quite some time. Just how long is still unknown, but scientists, especially environmental Darwinists, estimate the Earth is 4.55 billion years old (Jennings 86). But the date of Earth’s origin and the presence of man are two separate questions depending on if one relies on biblical references or stories, creationism, which put the age of the world, the beginning of creation between 6,000-10,000 years (77) or modern science. A Gallup poll found supporters of each side to be fairly split, forty-six percent towards creationism and thirty-six percent pointing to Darwinism as the correct derivation (88). Why is the question of Earth’s origin so germane? According to many, because Genesis only deals with God’s creation of man in His image, and science can prove the existence of “pre-Adam” man dating back millenniums. By dating the origin of the world, one calls into question the validity of the Bible as the definitive “word of God” and the “absolute truth” as well as continues to fuel the controversy between science and religion. Scholars, researchers, activists, and clerics have written many over the past two centuries discussing and debating creation stories within a biblical...

...In “Second-Term Blues” writer Richard Brookhiser asks the question of whether running for a second term is just as bad for the country as it is for the president in office. He explains this “second term struggle” through the example of George Washington. Washington had a stellar first term, but his second term was “marred by controversies.” (Brookhiser, 16) These controversies included promises broken in the Treaty of Paris, Americans avoiding British creditors for prewar debts, Britain seizing American Ships, etc. Washington then sent John Jay to resolve the problems that were causing havoc for America. Jay formed a compromise with Great Britain which benefited The United States, and more importantly avoided a war. Jay’s Treaty was...

...Paul Lee Professor Askren English 100 March 7, 2012 Censorship Suppression of information and ideas by anyone, whether it be government officials, writers, or artists, censorship is what blankets the world from seeing what the truth really is. Media and ads in various forms are forced to be careful what they air to the public. With the growth of technology and the expansion of resources available via the Internet: Email, World Wide Web, and Video-Chatting, the amount of censorship throughout the world has increased drastically over the years. Every nation on Earth has a certain form of censorship that ranges from the extreme to the not so extreme. The United States and most European nation’s censorship level is the least compared to that of other countries. Nations where foundations are shaky and don’t have a strong central government is where censorship really takes it tolls. Countries like DPRK (North Korea), Pakistan, Burma, Syria, Cuba, Iran, and China must abide by what the dictator wants the people to see and not, by the use of extreme bias. Along with the international community and its government using censorship, the decision of censoring something can also be made by an individual aside from the government. Individuals that might be biased with is or her own thoughts. Censorship decisions might be illogical, unfair, unconstitutional, or in some cases just immoral. People tend to want to censor everything that they personally don’t tend to agree with. Corporations...

...Question 1 A state’s legislature recently passed a law that requires doctors to show women images from sonograms play fetal heartbeats aloud and describe the features of fetuses at least 24 hours before abortions. There are exceptions in cases of rape, incest, fetal deformity and for women who travel great distances to a doctor. Discuss the following: (1) Who has standing to sue to challenge this law? (2) What legal issues might be raised as a basis to challenge this law? (3) What legal philosophy best support this law? (4) What legal philosophy best challenge this law? (5) What source of law(s) are relevant to this issue? Standing to Sue means “A legal requirement that an individual must have a sufficient stake in a controversy before he or she can bring a lawsuit (Miller & Cross, 2014). In simple words it means who ever is filing the lawsuit should have suffered or must have been threatened by a harm. Also a person can have standing to sue on behalf of another individual for example a mentally incomepetent person or for a minor. It also requires that the controversy needs to be substantial than a hypothetical contoversey i.e. Justiciable Controversy. In this Sonogram case the doctors are responsible and liable to perform an ultrasound and describe about the fetus and medical risks involved with them before they get an abortion. I think both the patient and the doctor or a group of doctors can chaallenge this law as they all have the standing to sue in this...

...under which it has avoided passing upon a large part of all the constitutional questions pressed upon it for decision. They are: 1. The Court will not pass upon the constitutionality of legislation in a friendly, nonadversary, proceeding, declining because to decide such questions 'is legitimate only in the last resort, and as a necessity in the determination of real, earnest, and vital controversy between individuals. It never was the thought that, by means of a friendly suit, a party beaten in the legislature could transfer to the courts an inquiry as to the constitutionality of the legislative act.' [No advisory opinions. No collusive suits] *2. The Court will not 'anticipate a question of constitutional law in advance of the necessity of deciding it.' *3. The Court will not 'formulate a rule of constitutional law broader than is required by the precise facts to which it is to be applied.' *4. The Court will not pass upon a constitutional question although properly presented by the record, if there is also present some other ground upon which the case may be disposed of. This rule has found most varied application. Thus, if a case can be decided on either of two grounds, one involving a constitutional question, the other a question of statutory construction or general law, the Court will decide only the latter. Appeals from the highest court of a state challenging its decision of a question under the Federal Constitution are frequently dismissed because the judgment...

This power is referred to as jurisdiction and it is bestowed on courts by constitutions or by legislatures and remains a method for limiting judicial power. There are several other types of restrictions set in place to limit judicial...

...of managing business ethics in the aftermath of major problems in its international operations in the mid-1990s, only to be mired in further controversy during the 2000s. The case provides an opportunity for assessing the substantial challenges involved in business ethics management, and in particular for examining the benefits and drawbacks of various components of ethics management discussed in the chapter. Operating in over 135 countries, and employing more than 90,000 people, the UK-Dutch oil giant Royal Dutch Shell is one of the world’s largest companies. In recent years, Shell has been at the forefront of developments in social reporting and stakeholder engagement, and looked to be finally overcoming the reputational crisis that overwhelmed the company in the mid-1990s when it became a prime focus of attack from environmental campaigners and other critics. However, the firm’s turnaround came off the rails in 2004 when a major accounting scandal erupted over its overstating of oil reserves. This, and the continued challenge posed by campaigners over its alleged ‘hypocritical’ approach to sustainability and social responsibility, has raised questions over the firm’s ethics at a time when it would have hoped to have finally converted the sceptics. So, whilst the firm has won prizes and plaudits for its actions, for many, the question still remains whether its attempts to marry profits with principles is just window-dressing for an essentially unsustainable approach to...

...Analysing Dystopia in a “Brave New World” The concept of Dystopia in literature is a form of exploring various interpretations of a different world. Specifically, a dystopian text explores a domain in which a society and way of life may seem ideal (Utopia), yet within the text it is later revealed that the society remain mentally unprepared and incapable of sustaining order in their world. Most dystopian texts illustrate a world which has been resulted in the consequence of humanity and this is one of the main reasons it is regularly visited. It is a genre in which the dystopian texts frequently challenge the views and values of their current audiences. This is because they are judged and critiqued on their depiction of scenes and events that breach sensitive moral and ethical issues. What makes the genre so fascinating both to read and write is to remind ourselves of the capabilities of humanity and just how much we can impact a hypothetical world. It is also a way in which we can ponder the extremes we as a society can reach and reflect the possibilities of the very future of the human race. Another reason why the concept intrigues us is because dystopian texts are subconsciously thought to be renditions of hell. With Utopia being the impression of heaven or an ideal world, Dystopia corresponds as the opposite. These ideas are explored in Aldous Huxley’s classic dystopian piece “Brave New World” [1932]. “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley is considered a dystopian text due...

...particularly important class of market actor.1 Analysts produce the reports, recommendations and price targets that professional investors utilize to inform their buy and sell decisions, which means that understanding analysts’ work can provide crucial insights on the determinants of value in the capital markets. Yet our knowledge of analysts is limited by insufficient attention to Knightian uncertainty. Analysts estimate the value of stocks by calculating their net present value or by folding the future back into the present. In so doing, they are faced with the fundamental challenge identified by Frank Knight, that is, with the difficulty of making decisions that entail a future that is unknown. These decisions, as Knight wrote, are characterized by ‘neither entire ignorance nor complete . . . information, but partial knowledge’ of the world (Knight, [1921] 1971: 199). The finance literature has not examined the Knightian challenge faced by analysts. Indeed, existing treatments circumvent the problem by adopting one of two extreme positions. In the first, put forward by orthodox economists, it is assumed that Knightian uncertainty is non-existent and that calculative decision-making is straightforward. Analysts are presented as mere calculators in a probabilistic world of risk (Cowles, 1933; Lin and McNichols, 1998; Lim, 2001). In the second, put forward by neo-institutional sociologists and behavioural finance scholars, analysts face too much uncertainty to engage in individual calculation....

The Four Stages to Creative Process Searching for the challenges is the first stage of the creative process, and this take place when an individual can meet his or her challenge in an imaginative, original, and effective way. As individuals challenges are often sought out, and they come in forms of issues or problems. For example, drug addiction among teenage boys are more prevalent today than in previous years, and it is causing a problem that can but young teenage boys at risk for health complications and mental issues. According to the United States department of human health services (2006) the percentage of young teenage boys using drugs are much higher than teenage girl, especially between the ages of 14 to 18 (Para. 1). Drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, household chemicals, and ecstasy is the six top drugs of choice among teenage boys, and this presents a challenge on how to treat and prevent drug abuse. Influences such as peer pressure, the media, stress, and family history also presents challenge when dealing with teenage boys and drug abuse. According to Hans (2009) family history of drug addictions can cause teenage boys to develop drug abuse...
