...He was extremely pious and went to a monastery in hopes to find out the truth about religion. After leaving the monastery, Luther visited the Church of Wittenberg, and observed its weekly ceremonies and actions. However, he noticed that not everything the Church did was good; many things that the Church did were actually very immoral. As Luther himself once stated, “Why does not the Pope, whose wealth today is greater than the wealth of the richest Crassus, build the basilica of St. Peter with his own money rather than with the money of poor believers?” His quote directly accuses the Pope for many of his heretic actions and immoral acts. As a result of all the unethical doings that the Church did, Martin Luther wrote 95 ideas which explained the wrongdoings of Church. Then, he nailed his 95 arguments onto the gates of a Church in Wittenberg, which all accused the Catholic Church of corruption and heresy. “In itself, this [nailing Ninety-five theses to Church door] was nothing new, for many people were critical of the luxurious life of the popes, the corruption and immorality of some clergy, the Church’s selling of indulgences (said to remove the penalties for sin), and other aspects of church life and practice” (Strayer...

...For my exploration, the poets I choose are Sappho, Bertran De Born, Wang Wei and Kabir. Writing in different period, the poems coming from that poets treat different subjects like love, war, retirement and religion. However, despite the difference on the subjects, they all describe the feelings of the authors. How they perceive things and what would make them be happy. Sappho in her poems presents us different feelings associate with love. For her, love can be source of jealousy, pain, doubt and happiness. Along her poems, the help of Aphrodite, the dieses of love and sexuality is continually asked: “deathless Aphrodite of the spangled mind, child of Zeus, who twists lures, I beg you do not break with hard pain” (p. 637).

Account manager: Confidential vi. Account managers details: Confidential 2. Introduction a. Company History The first National Book Store started as a stall shop in Escolta before the Japanese occupation selling supplies, GI novels, and textbooks. When war broke out, strict book censorship forced them to shift their trade to soap, candies, and slippers. They bought their merchandise from wholesalers and peddled them to smaller retailers. Liberation came, but the whole Escolta area was burned to the ground. Having all their stocks reduced to ashes left the couple with nothing but determination and an undying drive to succeed. And their persistence paid off. They were able to rebuild a barong-barong in the corner of Soler and Avenida Rizal in time to catch the post-war business boom. They went back to business using their door as a counter for selling textbooks, notebooks, pad paper, and pencils. Business went very well...

The most recent decline in the economy has lead to some drastic changes in which the average consumers are not buying a new car as quickly as they have in the previous years. The car business itself has declined in the selling of new vehicles also because of the average consumer not wanting to create another household expense. Most consumers are trying to keep their current vehicles in good condition which means routine maintenance as well as keeping the body of their vehicles in good condition. Looking for ways to help the consumer investments become worth more once the economy makes a turn around. There is a need for adding some ways to prevent the investment of a car from loosing value because of damage to the overall body of the vehicle. The damage usually comes from others negligence and cause unforeseen dents that slowly appears over the years of owning a vehicle.

...Define due process and its origins. According to our text book; "The Due Process is protection against arbitrary deprivation of life, liberty, or property as guaranteed in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments." (Wilson, 2009, p. 33). The origins of the due process can be traced back to 1868 thanks to the fourteenth amendment being ratified that year. What is vital to know about the fourth teen amendment is this "No state shall deprive any person life of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law." (Wilson, 2009, p. 33). When I think of due process the first think that comes to my mind is being arrested. During my research on the topic I found some very interesting information in regards to the due process. I found information that states the term due process is much older than 1868. According to Barnabas D. Johnson "The phrase "due process of law" originated in a 1355 restatement of the 1215 Magna Carta, by which for the first time in history (at least in relation to the rights of ordinary people) "the government" — in this case, King John of England — was brought "under the law" ... that is, became subject to something called "the law of the land" which he was not empowered to alter in its fundamental character. This is the origin of the concept of "government under law" as distinct from merely "government by laws";" (Johnson, 2005) I found that information to be unique because more people like myself think of...

Few Hindus also came to live and work in Australia under the system of recruiting indentured labour, which was a labour system in which people paid for their passage by working for an employer for a certain amount of time. During the 1830s, some came as camel drivers and some as travelling merchants or hawkers (trying to sell goods). Many remained as small businessmen, selling goods between small rural communities, establishing farming pastures for sheep and cattle and later moving to NSW to continue farming. The first purpose built Sikh temple was constructed in Woolgoolga. After the end of...

...have a male heir. Martin Luther did not fully agree with certain aspects of the church therefore he established his own beliefs and managed to gain many followers during the Reformation. One of Luther’s most important arguments was his opposition to the selling of indulgences, when the Pope was basically making money off of sacred artifacts. It disgusted Luther to see how many people believed that a piece of a paper could actually help you achieve salvation and so he created the Ninety-Five Theses. He expressed the idea that salvation could be achieved by faith alone in an attempt to stop people from buying the false hope of indulgences. He caused major upheaval when he refused to recant his statements in the Diet of Worms, creating tension between the people who wanted him dead for opposing the church and those who praised him and shared his beliefs. His opinion of the church’s doctrines was also a popular concept among his followers. While the church only made the Bible accessible to certain people, Luther demanded that the Bible be available to everyone and anyone who desired to interpret it for themselves and so he took the liberty to translate it into German. Many people supported his viewpoint and it opened up a door for future...

...home, he found his wife talking to a man at the door selling combs. Her face was not covered. Seething, he slammed the door on the ma's face and slapped her hard, shouting at her never to open the door again. And Aslam was known as a devout Muslim. Why is it that people do not take their religion as seriously as they are supposed to? How conveniently do they ignore the teaching of Islam all the while preaching others what they themselves not do. A Muslim is supposed to respect other people. But that's not a norm in Pakistan these days. It doesn't really matter whether you slap your wife, or take a bribe once or twic, or lie to save your own skin. It really doesn't matter because after all, we do pray and give alms and stay awake all night on Shab-e-Barat asking forgiveness for our sins - the sins we commit the following day and so on. If we were all such good Muslims, then I would like to place a question that comes in my mind. How many of us actually follow what we preach? Consider Aslam's example. He had just come home after praying, but as soon as he had reached home, he slapped his wife not giving her a single chance to explain which was an incredible act of injustice. What then was the point of him praying? Does Islam teach us this kind of behaviour? Throughout the year all over Pakistan there are sectarian killings and violence all because people disagree with each other on religious issues. What kind of religion are we following? Is it right to kill people who...

...Free Speech, this issue is very important. There are many things that offend everyone, however, we have the right as American Citizens to say and do as we choose. There are limits to that statement I believe that as long as we do not physical hurt anyone that our words can be demonstrated or spoken freely. When the courts get involved in what free speech is I believe that we are opening doors to a downward spiral. After reading the case; Bad Frog Brewery Inc. v. New York State Liquor Authority. I realize that offenses and what one believes is right or wrong is truly a matter of opinion. The idea that the New York State Liquor Authority would not agree to a license because of “some of the beverage labels with a drawing of a frog making a gesture generally known as: giving the finger” (Jentz & Miller, 2011, p. 19). The offense in my opinion is the selling of liquor in general. (NYSLA), being offended by the ability of children seeing a frog give the “middle finger” is funny. How about they consider who they are and what they allow in general being the true offense to children as well as their families? Based on the court ruling in that favor of Bad Frog Brewery, I was satisfied with its outcome. As for the reason I totally agree. “NYSLA, could have proposed restrictions on the permissible locations where the...
