Role Of Women Anne Hutchinson
595 words
Anne Hutchinson challenged the traditional role of
women in the Puritan society through her opposing
religious beliefs. Anne Hutchinson was most likely
not the first woman to have her own thoughts. She
was simply the first to act on them. Anne
Hutchinson was born on or about July 17, 1591 in
Alford, Lincolnshire, England. She was the
daughter of Reverend Francis Marbury. Rev. Marbury
spoke out that many of the ordained ministers in
the Church of England were unfit to guide people's
souls. For th...

Good Angel Scene 5
627 words
Could Faustus have saved his soul had he repented
to God before facing his impending damnation?
Coming from a Christian upraising and parochial
schooling, I would have to think that Faustus
could have saved himself. I was always under the
assumption that sincere repentance could be given
at any time in ones life for salvation. God is not
an angry and merciless being. Being born with
original sin, salvation may be gained no matter
what the faults of any mortal. In fact, Christ
taught of love and ...

Salvation Army Man Life
302 words
One dazzlingly bright and sunny morning a dirty,
unshaven and unkempt man tentatively enters the
sanctuary and takes a seat in the last pew. Those
around him noticeably flinch as his pungent odor
reaches their nostrils, and slide as far away as
possible. No one talks with him, or deigns to even
look him in the eye. The man leaves the church,
humiliated, with nothing but a negative picture of
those who presume to call themselves Christians.
This tragedy hits directly home with me, and
provides an...

Wear The Scarlet Letter Hester Sin
1,222 words
What is the greatest sin that can be committed by
a human being? Is it murder, robbery, or something
else? There is no exact answer to this question;
it depends on one's own view of sin. In The
Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne, a woman by
the name of Hester Prynne is condemned for
committing a sin, which is adultery. The
townspeople, who are Puritans, consider adultery a
terrible crime that is worthy of prosecution.
However, Hester does not receive the death penalty
because they were sympa...

Classical Learning Vs Operant
1,633 words
There are many different fields of study in
psychology. One field of study is the cognitive
process of learning. Learning is any relatively
permanent change in behavior (or behavior
potential) resulting from experience (Baron G- 7).
The learning process helps us, all organisms,
adapt to changing conditions in our environment
and the world around us. Although the effects of

forms. Two of these forms are ca...

Justification By Faith Sinful Nature
1,302 words
... comments so far would be agreeable to a person
who advocated that both physical and spiritual
circumcision were necessary. But Paul's next
comment would be too sweeping: A man is one of
God's people if he is inwardly circumcised, since
the real circumcision is a spiritual matter, of
the heart, "not by the written code'' (verse 29).
What value is there in being circumcised? Or, in
synonymous terms, what advantage is there in being
a Jew? Much, replies Paul (Romans 3: 1 - 2). He
does not extol...

Political And Religious Dante Inferno

Dante's "Inferno" was a great epic poem of the
early Renaissance. It was known for its astute
commentary on political and religious levels, both
deeply woven into the work through allegory.
"Inferno, " written in 1314 by Dante Alighieri,
was the first canticle of the "Divine Comedy. "
Dante called it a comedy both because of its happy
ending and its style, "which lies between that of
the tragedy and that of the elegy. " (Vossler,

wrote in Latin, D...

"But when a whole family, or some individual,
happens to be so preeminent in excellence as to
surpass all others, then it is just that they
should be the royal family and supreme over all,
or that this one citizen should be king. " (1288 a
15 - 20) The key to Aristotle's quote is hidden in

context excellence refers to the excellence of a
citizen "relative to the constitution of which he
is a member. " (III: 4, 30 - 32) A state is

The Effects Of Sin Upon Arthur Dimmesdale
819 words
Hawthorn shows sins of several different kinds in
numerous people, as well as the consequences and
remedies of their sins. Three main characters;
Hester Prynne, Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale, and
Roger Chillingworth bare the most of these sins.
Arthur Dimmesdale, however, bares the most brutal
effects of such sin. This is due to several
reasons. The most observable reason for his
eventual breakdown is the fact that he keeps his
sin a secret. Arthur Dimmesdale's sin was the same
as Hester's, except ...
