virgin Mary roles in the Church Catholics have a special place in their hearts for virgin Mary, the mother of God, and they have given her an exclusive role in the catholic saints’ pantheon. Through many years, more paintings, statutes, sermons, hymns, icons, and treatises have been made to honor her than any other woman in human history. To understand how Catholics are more attached to Mary, one needs to look at the relationship between a child and her mother. The devotion comes from affection she had with her child Jesus. There is a doctrine called Mariology that supports this, explaining her role in the Church. Mary was also one of the people who were appeared in heaven bodily assumed, and many saints have seen her in their visions. Some of her roles in the Church include: Mother of God. She gave birth to Jesus; although she was human and was not able to create God, she gave birth to the Son of God. Jesus is identified as God and hence the reason Mary was named the mother of God.…
Discussion Response Dear Chinmay Tappu, The paper is a good structure with properly organized paragraphs. From the first paragraph, it is evident that the reflection on the topic is consistent with the week 11 discussion. The introduction paragraph brought out the meaning of the topic. The main idea of the discussion is to analyze project control during the evaluation stage. The advancement in technology has yielded the development of more advanced software that is aiding in analyzing and tracking of project parameters in project control.

It is evident from the discussion that project managers can employ the deviations from the two forms to make necessary corrections. However, the discussion lacks incite citation. Though the…

Great Awakening In the 1720’s the Great Awakening occured, this was a time of religious reintroduction that affected English colonies in America. The Great Awakening began because civilians became curious about their individual role in religion (Kelly, Martin). Biblical leaders traveled through multiple towns, preaching about the gospel and the importance of salvation (“Great Awakening”). This began to undervalue authority of the church doctrine whereas it was wanted to put a urgent attention on an individual’s divine involvement (Kelly, Martin). The First Great Awakening, also called the Enlightment, in which was a European movement. This was introduced to the colonies when colonist crossed the Atlantic Ocean to the American colonies (“Great Awakening”). During this time it was emphasized the power of the individual to understand the universe based on scientific laws, while they downplayed religion (Kelly, Martin). This led to individuals growth on becoming more dependent on personal approach on salvation than leaning towards church doctrine. This became an issue because it made religion become less personal, in which led to a decrease in church attendance (“Great Awakening”). During the…

American Grace: How Religion Divides and Unites Us Address Three critical points from the reading that caught your attention. Religion is closely linked to politics in numerous ways. In the traditional setting, religious leaders were considered as both temporal and political leaders. Even though there has been a significant separation between politics and the church, religion plays an essential role in influencing policymakers and decision-making process in governmental institutions. In various nations across the world, religious leaders influence political leaders to formulate policies that are in line with the necessities of religious beliefs. Issues concerning the role of religion in politics and public life, have taken on new meaning in various academic works in the twenty-first century, especially within the discipline of international relations. Regardless of the lasting influence of religion in the global sphere, discussion of religion in international relations is usually influenced by a noteworthy “secular bias” the final acceptance of the secularist division between politics and religion. But the dominance of this secularist bias is rapidly being challenged, and researchers are beginning to discover alternative ways of…

Social Control Agencies When people are born, they know nothing about the world, its rules, and culture. They have to be socialized by their parents, teachers, and the broader community. As people grow up, they are introduced to the expected and appropriate behavior that every society member has to uphold. Since we all live in a community, some universal rules and norms are to be followed by everyone. Anyone who deviates from these established norms receives a minimum level of punishment in an attempt to maintain social order. There are formal and informal agencies of social control that regulate group or individual behavior in society. Formal Social Control Agencies One way of regulating human behavior is by use of authorized agents, including the police, military officers, and employers. These agencies are always the last resort, as the community should provide social order without using force or violence (Deflem, 2015). However, social control institutions are used in cases whereby informal social control mechanisms are ineffective. In such cases, force has to be applied to ensure that individuals or groups of people…
Natalia Ginzburg’s He and I In Natalia Ginzburg’s He and I, what intrigued and puzzled me in equal measure was how the writer has gotten used to the mediocre state of her marriage. She vividly paints the picture of a single-sided relationship where the woman is underappreciated. She plays second fiddle to her indifferent husband and relies on his validation and approval. The inequality that characterizes this relationship is evidenced when the writer points out that “My tidiness and untidiness are full of complicated feelings of regret and sadness. His untidiness is triumphant. He has decided that it is proper and legitimate for a studious person like himself to have an untidy desk” As a result of this broken relationship, the writer undervalues herself and doesn’t think of herself as having great taste, being intelligent or useful for a lot of things. The writer makes use of first-person narration as though she was narrating to either herself or an audience. Her frequent use of “I’ to continually refer to herself makes the narrative personal and establishes trust with her audience.…
