If we are united none can destroy us. Unity helps in achieving triumph. It can destroy terrorism. The ultimate success always depends upon the people. The security of a nation depends upon the integrity and harmony among its citizen. During the past many countries were in the control of foreign powers.

We achieved our freedom through the combined effort of our great leaders and our ancestors.Unity is essential to maintain peace in the world. Unity helps to avert wars. We must also live in accord with the environment. The thought that "I am a human, all humans are my brothers and sisters" symbolizes unity.

...How does N.C.F.C. Demonstrate Oneness When I look at the oneness, I think of numerous words such as the fact or state of being unified or whole, comprised of two or more parts. Oneness can also mean being one in number belief in the oneness of God. I don’t want to spend too much time defining oneness. As me being a member of the National Christian Fellowship Conference. I observe the oneness that the N.C.F.C. family has been displaying. The way the N.C.F.C. family display this oneness is by us coming together as one under one banner of unity, Praising and worshipping one God, and fellowship. I’m glad where able to come under banner one and man of God, because we have different demonstrations and teachings, but were serving one God. We live in a world where individualism is encouraged to the extinct, where we are sometimes forced to consider ourselves separate from one another. That’s why I’m glad I have Bishop James McNeal Jr. in my life. He knows how to bring the people of God together. N.C.F.C. also shows oneness by coming together @ 7:30 nightly to be together in the worship service. We all come to worship and honor the same God that’s able to bring us together, no matter what we are. If God was able to bring his disciples as one at the Last Supper. So that being said Bishop McNeal is able to gather his organization together. That’s my insight on how N.C.F.C. Demonstrate...

...A very good morning I bid to the panel of honourable judges, dedicated teachers, my fellow competitors last but not least beloved audience. Where there is unity there is always victory. Well, we all know about the story “Three Musketeers” which is a classic English novel written by Alexander Dumas. D’Artagnan, Athos, Porthos and Aramis are always united facing the challenges in their lives. When Cardinal Richelieu's guards appear to arrest d'Artagnan and the three musketeers, the four men win the battle that follows even though they are outnumbered. The reason for their success was that they were united according to their famous motto “All for one and one for all.” This brings me to my topic today that is “1 MALAYSIA” which portrays national unity. 1Malaysia is an on-going programme designed by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak on 16 September 2010, calling for the cabinet, government agencies, and civil servants to more strongly emphasise ethnic harmony, national unity, and efficient governance. An official logo and slogan has been introduced along with the launch of the 1Malaysia concept. The official logo is the symbol of '1' which incorporates the national “Jalur Gemilang” flag and the word Malaysia. RM 38 million has been spent by the government to promote 1 Malaysia since 2010. Improving government efficiency is an important aspect of 1Malaysia.The use of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and National Key Result Areas (NKRAs) is an important part of the 1Malaysia...

...INTRODUCTION What is the definition of unity? Unity is the combination or arrangement of parts into a whole; unification. Malaysia is the land of multi-races combining the Malays, Chinese, Indians and other minorities. The unity of citizens is an important objective for a multi-racial country as it forms an important security for strengthens of the country and its administration. Without unity, a country will be exposed to various weaknesses. These weaknesses are capable to cause its sovereignty to be affected as it cannot afford to resist trespasser from inside and outside. Therefore, citizen unity is an issue that needs to be taken seriously in strategizing the country’s development and administration so that it could retain and defend its freedom as a country which is sovereign. To practice unity, Malaysians first practice “RUKUN NEGARA”, then form political unity, studies unity, social and culture unity such as culture program, festival celebration and foods.

...Outline Plan. Define & Justify: The area which I have chosen to study is the topic of Unity Mitford, 1914-1948. in my study I will pay specific attention to Unity and her abiding search for Hitler during this time period. I felt this was a very underdone topic which deserved a lot more gratitude than what it was getting. Although this all happened before my time period i still found it extremely interesting, my curiously into Hitler came from studying him as part of my research topic so i knew from the beginning of my topic that i wanted Hitler to be the prime focus of my study. When i came across Unity’s story i was instantly curios to find out more on it. Aims: While doing this project i aimed to find out how Unity's addiction to Hitler first began. I wanted to find out how her search for Hitler began, progressed, and turned into the magnificent chronicle which it is today. I hoped to find out if this contributed to Unity and her connection to the state of Germany. I also want to see if Unity has any of the same unique charastics which Hitler embodies. I hoped to develop self directed learning and a sense of critical thinking and learning skills. I hoped to progress my spirit to gain a further understanding into Unity and her life. Initial Approach: Oral Source: i.e. Interview. My oral source i hoped would be a interview with Unity’s sister Deborah, Dowager Duchess of Devonshire (born 31 March 1920), née The Hon. Deborah is the youngest and last surviving of the six noted Mitford...

...presented by Dr. Towns, which argument do you find the most convincing? Explain why you think that it is a strong argument. Include at least 2 quotes from the article to support your points. The argument in which I found the most convincing from this week’s reading and presentation from Dr. Towns was, the unity of the message from different human sources. It is almost an unheard of task that there would be such unity in a book with a minimum 36 authors, over 1600 years, from such diverse occupations and regions. Elmer Towns states, “The Bible was written over 55 generations, yet there remains a singular unity. Only God who transcends all time could be its source.” Towns also wrote, "There is a unity of literary emphasis, even though there are numerous authors, so that the reader gets the impression that there was one mind that guided the preparation of the entire Bible." There are many different time periods, circumstances, situations, geographical, occupational, literary styles and much more separating the 66 books and authors that make up the Bible. But there remains one main theme throughout, the message of Jesus and Salvation of the World. The reason for such unity in the Bible is because although there are many physical authors, there is only one inspiration for the writings, God. This is known as dual-authorship, because God guided the...

...The unity of the message from different human sources is a strong argument that the Bible is the Word of God. The fact of at least 36 to 40 authors participated in writing the 66 books of the Bible for me is inspiring. As Dr. Towns stated in his article, “Yet in spite of the diversity of authors, there is unity in the Bible, reflecting its supernatural origin.” The human authors have diverse backgrounds such as Politicians, Shepherd/King, Prophet, Fisherman, Tax-Collector, Theologian and Butler/Cupbearer to name a few. Not only were the author’s background diverse so were the language, and writing styles. Another important fact is that the Bible does not have a single author but rather it has dual authorship. This means that each book of bible was written by a human author guided by the Holy Spirit. Dr. Towns also discussed the unity of the message of Scripture, “As a person objectively reads the Bible, he finds a unified message that centers in Jesus Christ, a unified theme which is the redemption of God, a unified structure so that each part of the Bible contributes to the whole.” Knowing that the message of Bible centers in Jesus Christ which is the redemption of God is inspirational but also gives me a true sense of peace and security in the unifying message of the Bible. Because of the consistent message of love, I know without in doubt I am God’s child and loved unconditionally and He is always with...

...Canada is a country that values unity because the ones known to be separatists desired to remain Canadian. Above all, Quebec was one of the four original provinces joined Confederation. As a result, 60% of the Quebecers participated in the 1980 referendum for the province’s independence voted against sovereignty. Despite that, the French Canadian also supported the Meech Lake Accord. The Accord recognized French Canadians the distinctiveness of French Canadians through granting the provincial government the right to opt out social programs. It also strived to increase Quebec’s population through limiting the amount of immigrants other provinces can take so a fair amount of immigrants would go to Quebec. 3/9 Moreover, it stated that three out...

...Discuss the importance of multicultural unity in developing a culture of peace in the Mauritian Nation. Mauritius is one of the polyethnic country that has the most peaceful and stable democratic government. Mauritius is also known as a multicultural unity and being that the Mauritian population enjoys a rich ethnic background, consisting of Hindus, Muslim, Tamils, Africans, Malagasy descents and Chinese. The main religions are Hinduism, Christianity and Islam. Mauritius is a small country where religious festivals, rituals, customs and traditions abound in all their splendors. In any multicultural society, the degree of tolerance and respect plays an important role in determining whether a multicultural society is an advantage or not. The presence of tolerance in a society amongst members of different backgrounds and ethnic groups can ensure a stable political situation as well as a stable economy. This enables the society itself to cultivate friendship amongst members of different cultures and helps the country to grow and prosper. The Mauritian population should develop an attitude of sharing. The national output should also be equally distributed among people of different communities. It is not fair when one community is richer than the other is. Similarly, it is not just when one community is the victim of exclusion. Whenever there is injustice, in a multiethnic country at the expense of the weaker races, there is bound to be rebellious against the authorities. Then...

...Introduction Reconciliation and Union with Christ are the two topics I will discuss in this paper. The Christian faith is built on reconciliation. We should be in unity with Christ as Christians, and if we have no reconciliation we have no union with Christ. I will explore the theological definition, Biblical foundation, and practical application of each. Part I Reconciliation The theological definition of reconciliation is, “ To make man who was once an enemy of God have peace through Christ’s atoning death. A change of relationship between God to man from hostility to harmony”. (Oppenheimer, 2009) Another definition from the Webster Dictionary describes reconciliation as “the act of causing two people or groups to become friendly again after an argument or disagreement”. (Webster, 2014) Reconciliation is required for our relationship with God, and it is also required for our relationships with others. Reconciliation is a foundation for the Christian faith and is not just an act we do with others, it begins when we reconcile with our Creator. Reconciliation follows forgiveness, both of these acts God expects from us as his followers. Hebrews 12:14 states, “Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord”. God wants us to live in an intimate relationship with Him, and He also wants us to live in peace with each other. Neither of these can be accomplished without reconciliation. The world in which we live in is a sinful place and...

..."Man by nature is a political animal." This quote was of course said by the great Greek philosopher Aristotle. What he meant was that every man has a desire for a say in what goes on within a community. A say in how the authority should be run, a say in how much taxes one needs to pay, a say in just about anything worth having an opinion on that is up for debate. Having solidarity and unity in a community is absolutely critical for any society to properly function efficiently, along with everybody being given equal opportunities. Every person on this earth has this nature Aristotle speaks of, and everyone should be given that chance to use it. It has always been a habit of mankind to follow tradition, or believe in what your parents said when you were growing up. With this being true, it is very difficult to permanently abolish racism. In order to get rid of it, the beliefs of one generation must be changed, or else the next generation will follow. Our world has proved this to be true, as slavery was used all around the globe until certain stops were made by certain people. Abraham Lincoln was the first man to put his fist down as his Emancipation Proclamation gave slaves their first taste of freedom in 1863. Martin Luther King Jr. finalized Lincoln’s intentions as due to his determination and perseverance many people started accepting different races and ethnicities. Unfortunately, not only do many towns across our nation still have racist views but other countries throughout...

...Pioneers of Modern Architecture: Importance of Their Contribution in the Development of 20th Century Architecture” “Pioneers of Modern Architecture: Importance of their contribution in the development of 20th Century Architecture” Modernism roughly spans the time between World War I and the early 1970s. In regards to architecture, this particular movement or style is characterized by simplification of form and subtraction of ornament from the structure and theme of the building. Intrigued by the emerging technologies of the day, they mostly used concrete, glass, or steel in their revolutionary creations. They eschewed ornament, rejecting what they saw as the frivolous strokes of Victorian and art nouveau styles. At the same time new technological developments continued to influence architects' designs, such as the development of complex air conditioning and heating systems allowed modern architectures to spread from the temperate climates of Europe and North America to countries with extremely varied weather conditions such as India, as seen in the National Assembly Building in Dacca Bangladesh by Louis Kahn. Instead of viewing a building as a heavy mass made of ponderous materials, the leading pioneers of modern architecture considered it as a volume of space enclosed by light, thin curtain walls and resting on slender piers. The visual aesthetic of modern architecture was largely inspired by the machine and by abstract painting and sculpture. Since World War II, modern...

All the major religions of the world are practised here. We have several varieties of costumes, food habits and social customs. We have about one thousand six hundred fifty two languages and dialects afferent parts of the country. India is often called a geographical, social, etimological and cultural museum.

We have to co-exist with each other peacefully, respect the culture and religions of our fellow Indians. Our Constitution is the most important force that binds the nation together. It has given recognition to eighteen languages as National langauges. Our national festivals also act as an important unifying force. Independence Day, Republic Day and Gandhi Jayanti are festivals that are celebrated by all Indians and in all parts of the country, regardless of languages, religion or culture. They remind us of our common nationality. Our national symbols like the National Flag, the National Anthem and the National Emblem also help to remind us that we are all one.

...To what extent were the actions of Nasser the most important factor in encouraging Arab unity in the years 1954-70? Overall, it seems that Nasser was an important figurehead in uniting the Arab population because he managed to unite Arab thought into being independent both in terms of within The Middle East and on the world stage. Nasser managed to gain Egypt and the concept of Arab nationalism an increased status through his running and appeal of Egypt. It could however be argued that hostility against Israel and the effects of this, as well as the fact that Arab unity was not exceptionally strong during this period may also have meant that his attempts to encourage Arab unity may have been unsuccessful. It is clear to a large extent that between 1945 and 1970, Nasser was at least partially responsible for fuelling feelings of Arab nationalism in Egypt that caused other countries to wish to join him in his cause. Nasser rose to power when he overthrew the Egyptian government in 1952 following Egypt’s humiliating defeat during the War of Independence. In 1954, Nasser managed to negotiate less British control on the Suez Canal. The West, specifically Britain and the USA tried to convince Nasser and the Egyptians to move into an anti-Soviet alliance, The Baghdad Pact, in 1955. Instead, Nasser founded a radio channel, the ‘Voice of the Arabs’, which spread ideas about Arab nationalism by broadcasting them across the Arab world. In 1956, Nasser nationalised the Suez Canal, in order...
