1,525 words
The Symbiotic Relationship of Violence and Grace
Extending reality outward until it embraced
religious mystery, says Gilbert H. Muller (56), is

extraordinary finesse. The mystery of grace

the indispensable need of God to correct the
absurdity of man s conditi...

Advantage Of The Stronger Line Of Logic Justice

Plato's profound early writing on politics, ethics
and education discussed in the Republic are the
foundations of todays governments, nations and
discourses. At least that is what I am told.
Plato's ideology and reasoning are not always the
most believable and desirable, it makes me wonder
which part of todays government practices must
give due to the Republic (to be discovered in Gov
101). While it is easy to be disgusted with
Plato's idealism and philosophy, which seems to

they are in life. In trying to come up with a
logical answer they dwell on it and it becomes
even more confusing. Afterwards they settle upon
the conclusion that things happen for a reason and
not in any kind of order. Wideman also claims that

Owen? s poem serves to uncover the lie that it is
sweet and becoming to die for one? s country.
