Jesus Christ One Man
452 wordsHow Christian was Seneca? Seneca was born 4 years before Jesus Christ, so it was probable that the eventual teacher of Nero was influenced by the words of Jesus Christ. His first point was about the crowds and the abhorrent gaming going on everywhere. Nothing stopped this crowd from yelling for more as they saw a man get ripped apart by a lion or two men battle to the death with swords and spears. He had experienced these games several times and found the blood lust hideous, to the point where h...

Civilization Human Nature Values That Society Defines Humans
689 wordsThe roots of human nature are sunk deep into our history and experiences.

Now take for example if we placed a newborn in the wild or in a high-class, well-mannered, wealthy family. The human nature of the newborn in the wild will be exactly that, wild and chaotic. While on the other hand the newborn in the well-mannered society will be well mannered and moralistic. Human natu...
