...Solomon Islands Carlaine Gidman SOC 300-051 Solomon Islands Throughout the western world technological advances have pushed society into a progressive era of the newest, sleekest, most efficient way of living. The everyday lives of western society revolve around computers, fast food, fashion, and what some would call immoral judgments. What tends to be forgotten or overlooked, is what these same technological advances have done to the lesser developed countries of this world. With the technological advances of the world having increased efficiencies and reduced prices, the economies of lesser developed countries, such as the Solomon Islands have almost vanished. The Solomon Islands are a grouping of over 1,000 islands located in the south pacific off the Australian coast east of Papua New Guinea. The islands together are estimated to span over 28,896 sq. km with over 27,986 sq. km of tropical landscape. The capital, Honiara, is located on the island of Guadalcanal. The Islands are part of the Commonwealth of Nations, and are a sovereign state of Oceania. The current political state revolves around a constitutional monarchy. With a population between 450,000 to 500,000 people divided between 5 major ethnic groups, in which the Melanesian people account for about 93% of the population. (CIA, 2012; Fugui, 2012). The history of the Melanesian people show early diversity within their ethnic relations. With over 70 languages spoken within the islands, there are more than...

...The article entitled, “Linguistic Paths to Urban Self in Postcolonial Solomon Islands” by Christine Jourdan explores the many languages that are spoken in the chain of islands that can culturally bind or culturally separate the various groups that hold significance to the past, present, and future of the Solomon Islands. Jourdan specifically focuses on the contrasting ways “villagers” and urban residents to decide to communicate even though they share the same ancestral history. The presentation of the article wants to use the national languages, Pijin and English, along with the various ethnic languages, also known as vernacular languages, to establish national unity and renew a sense of pride and appreciation among the urban citizens who tend to stray away from their history. The focus on language also led to the discussion of classes within society that changed its infrastructure and diversity. Gender, socioeconomic status, and location play a role on the different types of customs that people practice. During the pre-colonial era, Christianization through Missionaries led to the institution of the English Language in Pacific Islander society. “ Ethnics Languages were viewed as dialects by colonists were frowned upon. So, they tended to stray away from the ethnic language and stick to their own. In the present, Pijin, is viewed to be the language of choice in cities, such as Honiara. As the Solomon Islands advanced to modern times, urban residents mainly spoke, Pijin,. However...

...United States of America, would not be such a bad idea. We would be contradicting the same reason our fore fathers before us came and settled on this land, but it seems much better in the sense of a political stand point compared to what many people are going through with the government today in the United States. In the time when the Old Testament was written, almost, if not, every nation or people group was led by some sort of Monarchy. There were many well-known kings that the authors of the Bible wrote about such as King Saul, King David, and King Solomon. But there are many questions we have to ask ourselves before we can truly understand these kings. Some of the questions we should ask ourselves are “During the time of Samuel, why did the people of Israel desire a king?”, “Why was Saul chosen, and ultimately, why was he rejected?”, “What attribute did David display that made him a better king than Saul?” and “What sin did Solomon commit that ultimately led to the division of Israel after his death?” These questions can help us understand the positives and negatives of these kings. When someone desires an object or a person they have a deep want or need for that person or thing. In the time of Samuel, Israel as a nation desired for a king, but why? Why did they want someone who told them how to live and what to do? They already had Samuel as a ruler, but they wanted more. According to Ed Hindson and Gary Yates, the authors of The Essences of the Old Testament: A Survey, “The...

...AFRICA NAZARENE UNIVERSITY TOWN CAMPUS NAME: NJIHIA MARK ADM NO: 12S03ABT003 DEPARTMENT: UNIVERSITY COMMON COURSES COURSE: UCC 105 OLD TESTAMENT LECTURER: Dr. THUO TASK: DESCRIBE THE HISTORY IN THE OLD TESTAMENT DUE DATE: 28th January, 2013 Introduction The Old Testament was written over a wide historical period, it describes the relationship of God and the people of Israel before the coming of Jesus. To make it easy to explain the history in the Old Testament, I have seen it best to look at it under the following periods: 1. Primeval History Primeval history refers to the earliest history in the Bible. Genesis chapters 1 to 11 are considered the primeval history portion of the Bible. This is the Biblical time period from creation to the flood. The final section of the primeval history of the Bible tells the story of the flood or deluge. Noah and his family were righteous and followed God's instructions, and were therefore spared from death during the deluge. 2. Patriarchal Period (1900BC-1800BC) Though the beginning of Israel’s history as a nation is usually placed at the time of her departure from Egypt, an account of her history must start with Abraham and the patriarchs. Only after Israel had moved across Egypt’s border did she have size and identity with which other nations would have to reckon with, but she already had a history that stretched back through the years to her fathers, Jacob and Abraham. To Jacob the twelve heads of the respective...

...Ho Man Chan RELI 1301 05 J. Jonathan Kim, Ph.D. 11-12-2010 Books of Wisdom Literature Wisdom Literature is a style of Hebrew literature. It was originated from 6th century BC, when the Israelites in exile after being swept into the AD era. These literary works are such as "Wisdom books." "Wisdom literature" has four main characteristics: 1. The writing time should be after the Israelis were swept and before the birth of Jesus Christ; 2. The contents should focus on ethics, but not designed to focus on theology; 3. The way of expression are mainly the maxim, aphorism, metaphor, fables, poems, eulogy, etc; 4. The writing object is not only limited to Jews. There are five main books of Wisdom Literature, Book of Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Psalms and Song of Songs. First, Job is a faithful servant of God who is known for piety and patience. At that time, the Israelites were polluted to worship the Egyptian demons, but only Job is adhered to worship the God purely. The most ancient tradition believed that Moses is the author of this book. Many Jewish and early Christian scholars also agreed with this proposition. It is because the style of Job is very similar with the Pentateuch. So, the time of writing should be estimated around 1500 BC of the Patriarch Period. Most of this book (3:1-42:6) is a form of play or epic written. The front (1:1-2:13) is a prelude and (42:7-17) is the end. These two parts is written in prose form. Job not only teaches a great truth. “The Book of Job...

...William Wyatt Bible 105: Old Testament Survey February 9, 2014 As Ed Hindson declares, the Judgeship of Samuel is a successful one. Though the period of the judges overall was one of failure.1 The era of the judges nominally a time of Theocratic government in Israel is characterized by backsliding and sin. By the time of Samuel’s judgeship the people were tired of the repeated cycles of war and the tension with their neighbors when they were not actually fighting them. Samuel’s sons were obviously leading the nation back into a time of corruption and greed by the priesthood under the administration of Eli (1 Samuel 8:3). The people were not looking for a God honoring ruler. A government that would give them what they wanted and get the cooperation from other nations, in their minds would probably look like the governments around them. Despite Samuel’s grief over the situation, in 1Samuel Chapter Eight, God gives permission for them to have a king. Saul was not the right man for the job, he was a popular choice. As Saul was a poor choice by the people he was a man who also made poor choices2. Although chosen by the people and permitted by God, Saul is ultimately rejected by the Lord. Saul allows being king go to his head and in Gilgal offers sacrifices in “usurpation of priestly functions while awaiting Samuel”. 3 More than just illegally performing a priestly duty not permitted under the law, Saul’s sacrifice demonstrates a lack of faith, he was unwilling to wait on...

...Proverbs 31: The Assumptions and What We Should Learn From Her A normal assumption of the Proverbs 31 woman is a woman who is perfect. A woman who has her whole life put together, is simply astonishing in every way, and is surprisingly a woman that many Christian women dread to read about. What makes this woman so significant is not that she knows how to cook, clean, care for her children, and work hard, it is her wisdom that shines through and her fear of the Lord that makes her a woman of virtue. Other people have speculations of the Proverbs 31 woman; being too feministic, figuratively speaking on what a woman should and should not be, and trying to create a cookie cutter woman that is seen as perfect. Proverbs 31 is a great chapter, yet why do so many hate on it? Most people know about the Proverbs 31 woman, but most people actually don’t know the real story of the man behind this. The content of this chapter was written by a mother to her son, King Lamuel, who most people believe to be King Samuel. So if it was King Samuel than that means that the mother was Bathsheba, also the wife of King David. Proverbs 31 was actually meant for men, not necessarily women. It’s the man’s responsibility to find this woman who is rare to find because she is a jewel among many stones that symbolize the worldly women. Proverbs 31 was meant to be memorized for Jewish men. Yet many Christian women seem to cringe when reading Proverbs 31 because of the feeling of inadequacy. Some even speculate...

...Life as a King Solomon Anselet is our new king and now rules the kingdom on his father’s (King Harold Anselet) behalf. The Kings father retired and handed his role over to his son, Solomon Anselet. Harold Anselet quotes “My son Solomon Anselet will now take over my position as King and rule the entire kingdom and the crown shall pass down through many generations throughout the middle ages.” Solomon quotes, “I will be a loyal and trustworthy king and I will make sure to protect my people from all dangers to come.” This sounds pretty promising to me. All hale King Solomon. King Solomon’s Food King Solomon is very new to all the different foods and quotes “All this food is so overwhelming and I have never been so full.” This obviously states that being on the Royal table truly is heaven on earth. King Solomon stats that there is a large variety of food starting from every meat to finishing with every single fruit you can think of. The main meal was usually served early, before midday and would usually go on for a couple of hours. It has been said that the closer you sit to the king the more important you were. Having these big feasts was really good for the kings and would state there wealth and status. King Solomon’s Housing/Clothes King Solomon lives in a huge castle. Starting near the river and making its way up the hill ending on top of the hill. The castle is so huge he states “I could probably fit at least 500 people in my castle.” The King’s castle has stone walls to keep...

...The nation of Israel, or God’s chosen people, had every opportunity to set themselves apart from other nations. Israel had a covenant relationship with God, which means Israelites only had to live holy lives to receive God’s blessings. The book of Judges describes the cycle of the Israelites forsaking God and then Him raising up judges to bring them to repentance. After this time of uprising, and sorrow, the cycle would begin again. Just like the situation of Israel, Christians have the opportunity to set themselves apart from others. In my opinion, it is of utmost importance to look to God for leadership, and to learn from the lives of others, like Saul, David, and Solomon. It is common, in the human experience, to look for leadership. This was the case of the Israelites during the time of the prophet Samuel, who lived during the time of the Judges. In the fifth verse of the book of 1 Samuel chapter eight, the people of Israel said to Samuel , “….Therefore, appoint a king to judge us the same as all the other nations have” (Holman Christian Standard Bible). God’s chosen people, in this verse, made it known that they desired to be like everyone else. God gave the nation of Israel what they desired and told Samuel, “Appoint a king for them” (1 Sam 8:22). The reasoning behind why peoples may choose their leader is not infallible. For example, sometimes a leader may be chosen because his physical appearance is more appealing than his competitor. This was proven during the...

...2013 Solomon and His Wisdom Many individual throughout history have greatly impacted society and our lives. One such person is King Solomon. Ellen G. White in Prophets and Kings (Chapter 1) states that Solomon was anointed king when his father abdicated the throne. God had a great plan for Solomon to take him from strength to strength and glory to glory while inspiring the people of Israel to draw ever nearer to God and fulfill their covenant and destiny as His chosen people. Solomon’s early beginning was so full of promise and he did achieve a great deal of success during his reign.Solomon was anointed and proclaimed king in the closing years of his father David, who abdicated in his favor. His early life was bright with promise, and it was God's purpose that he should go on from strength to strength, from glory to glory, ever approaching nearer the similitude of the character of God, and thus inspiring His people to fulfill their sacred trust as the depositaries of divine truth. Throughout his reign, he achieved a great deal of success. Some of these achievements include great accomplishments in trading, expansion, and perhaps his most famous, his accomplishments in fair judgment. In addition, Solomon was viewed as an author of remarkable skill and noteworthy output. Several writings in the Bible recognize King Solomon as a contributor; these writings include the biblical Proverbs, the Song of Solomon, Ecclesiastes, the Wisdom of Solomon, and the later Psalms of Solomon. King...

...Literary styles used in the Bible Name Date of Submission Even though the Bible is a religious text, it is also a literary masterpiece, which uses various literary styles in the presentation of its content. As a library of books, each book in the Bible has a style of writing, which enhances the effectiveness of the message to the readers (Tanzer, 2012). The following chart offers a direct comparison by showing the difference in style of writing and content between a psalm and a passage in 2 Kings. Historical Narrative in 2 Kings | Poetry in Psalms | The book uses historical narratives as a style of writing. Its main content is a continuation of the history in 1 Kings. The history opens with the translation of Elijah into Heaven, and ends with the story of ungodly Jews moving to Babylon (Tanzer, 2012). Chapter One of 2 Kings sets the record of its documentation of what happened in the past, appearing in prosaic style. This passage assumes that its contents are the actual records of what transpired, and does not give much room for evaluation (Wilt, 2014). | Chapter One, just like the entire books of Psalms employs the poetic style in the presentation of its contents. The content is presented in the form of a poem, which gives the book a distinct structure. Unlike in Chapter One of 2 Kings, characterized by narration, there is an element of meter, alphabetic matching, as well as rhythm in the book of Psalms. Furthermore, there is a sense of hyperbole and fantasy in...
