“What Are The Perceptions of The grieving Process of The Church Of God in Christ and The Missionary Baptist.” CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Introduction Death is one of the issues that pose a great challenge to the human race. Many individuals always try to understand, accept it, and rationalize the finality of the event as it affects them. Losing a loved one is never easy on anyone, especially when the affected individual remembers that death is a final and permanent loss that no one can reverse (Feifel, 1977). Once there is a loss of an individual, there’s nothing anybody can do to bring the person back. The pains from the loss and the sorrow resulting from it can never be over no matter the number of years that passes after the burial. Therefore, both individuals and the church must understand the deep sense of loss which death evokes in the bereaved. That way, it’ll be easy to analyze and determine the best grieving process that will help affected individuals to find closure in such a loss. Death, as a necessary end,…
Compare the voyages of non-European people before 1500 to those of the Portuguese and Spanish from 1400 to 1550. The non-European people used their knowledge of the heavens and in essence the weather for them to navigate the seas. This was different from the Spanish and the Portuguese, who had maps and navigational equipment for their expeditions. The size of the fleets used by the non-Europeans was also larger than that of the Spanish and the Portuguese. The Chinese would travel with large ships and many ships in the fleet as compared to the others. Spain and the Portuguese went on an expedition to spread Christianity to the newly discovered areas. This was their major reason for sending out expeditions. The non-Europeans went on expeditions to showcase their wealth or to conquer and rule the new world. Why were the Spanish able to establish a territorial empire in the New World? The Spanish had a larger population and a greater resource base which made it easier for them to build a larger territory than their Portuguese counterparts. Although they…
Black theology For many, religion provides an outlet for everyday life problems. The church served as the foundation for the whites to ‘stand out’ from other races. The black theology rose to help the African Americans overcome the oppression. It seeks to fight against the many forms of political, economic, social, and religious injustices against blacks. Black theology mixes Christianity with the question of civil rights, which has been the main fight of many blacks for many years. It is no secret that slavery was practiced in America. The white Christians showed interest in the practice of slavery and racism as well. They questioned such practices because of the implication of inequality in the bible. They were also afraid that providing education to the slaves could lead to them fighting against them. Church elders assured the whites that no relationship existed between Christianity and freedom in civil matters. Some even argued that Christianity made black slaves even better. Christianity began with the white people, and they took the initiative of slavery as an institution and segregation as a pattern in…

The Washing Ritual The essay titled The Washing by Reshma Memon Yaqub is a piece of writing that was done by the author with intentions of showing the diversity between the Islamic culture and the American culture. Having migrated from Pakistan to America with her family, the author still practiced Islam, which has a very different type of rituals when it came to funerals, which were nothing like the American rituals. In Islam, before a body is buried, there is a ritual of washing it together with its clothes. Yaqub performed the ritual to her Dadee, a woman she had met a few hours before her demise. Since Yaqub had never experienced such a thing in her life, it was frightening and hard for her at the beginning, but she got used to it later. Throughout the essay, Yaqub illustrates the washing process in detail, which shows her spiritual connection and respect for her culture. The author of this easy wrote it with intentions of educating people on the important Islamic ritual, which might seem weird to some people. She…
ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY EXAMPLES SAMPLE ONE: Is Buddhism better than Christianity? Buddhism is one of the religious practices which mainly focus on the life and the teaching of Gautama Buddha. On the other hand, Christianity is also a spiritual practice that focuses on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ (King, 2016). Buddhism does not believe in a supreme creator such as God, unlike Christianity which is monotheistic and involves the belief that the Creator of the world is God or Jesus Christ the Son of God (Harding, 2018). From this viewpoint, the primary objective of this is to indicate whether Buddhism is better than Christianity doctrines. From my viewpoint, I will support that Buddhism is better than Christianity. According to Buddhism, God is not the Creator of the Universe. However, Christianity indicates that God is the Creator of all creatures in the Universe (Harding, 2018). Buddhism supports activities associated with meditation, while Christians believe that prayer is essential in connecting with God. Mindfulness and meditation practices are highly valued in Buddhism (King, 2016). Buddha is the centre of attention in…

The Field of Gerontology Introduction Gerontology is the study of social, cultural, psychological, and cognitive aspects of aging. This field deals more with the various factors that revolve around the aging process. The name was firstly gotten in 1903, from a Greek word Geron, which meant older adult and logia, which means the study of. Some gerologists are professionally trained to handle older adults in all fields. These gerologists are from various fields such as psychology, nursing, medicine, anthropology, housing, public health, among many other things. The number of older adults that is over the age of 65 years has dramatically been increasing each day. This, therefore, calls for serious attention to these people.
