OR how can I not be interpreting the Bible as an enumerative guide and instead as a change in my worldview? I believe the Bible works through people beyond what it says because it is living and active (Hebrews 4:12).

    This article was written by Maggie Astor, a reporter on The New York Times, a newspaper considered to be one of the most reliable source of information. Astor also has a degree in political science from Barnard College, therefore the information she provided is highly credible. In the article, she reports of a recent Dove ad that caused an outcry in the social media for its racist undertones. Astor quotes Dove’s spokeswoman and her apologetic remarks, stating that the ad was intended to convey a different message and that the company will re-evaluate its internal processes for creating and reviewing content. Critics are unimpressed of the apology. Astor then lists examples from the past of ads that were accused of racism: Intel, Popchips, Nivea…

    Then DRUMMOND notices the Bible, on the JUDGE’S bench. He picks up the Bible in his other hand; he looks from one volume to the other, balancing them thoughtfully, as if his hands were scales. He half-smiles, half-shrugs. Then DRUMMOND slaps the two books together and jams them in his briefcase, side by side.)In the end of Inherit the Wind, Drummond understands that the Bible and Darwinism should be treated equally together. Instead of having them be at opposite ends, the Bible and Darwinism should both be treated fairly. One is not wrong or better than the other. They are just different ways of thinking. North Korea has decided that they will be sending a team to the Winter Olympics in South Korea. This relates to my quote because Drummond balances the Bible and Darwin as equal after the two sides were competing against each other. North Korea and South Korea are finally coming together at the Olympics after being at opposite ends for years.Trump cancelled a program that kept Salvadorans protected in the United States.…

If the people choose to disregard their own safety and put another person’s life before theirs, it shows how ethically responsible they are. For an action to be ethically responsible, it must be done out of someone’s own intention to ensure the wellbeing of someone else. Ethical responsibility is defined as the obligation to do something that is morally sound in order to make sure a person is in good physical and emotional health. In the article titled, “Can the Law Make Us Be Decent?,” written by Jay Sterling Silver, the author states that there is not a federal…
