What is unity? Unity is the state of being one, or being of one mind. There are many aspects in our lives that needs unity to be able to move on forward.

Over the last century, due to war – mothers have lost sons, daughters have lost fathers, many lives have been torn out from the world. Wars are caused by greed, selfishness, and disunification, but if the world continues to disunites, then there would be more wars, which means more death, more …show more content…

Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.” In The Hiding place, Corrie’s father said, “I pity the poor Germans, Corrie. They have touched the apple of God’s eye.”(Page 69) Instead of raging and hating the Germans for mistreating the Jews, Corrie’s father pitied them. This shows an example of unity that was formed even in the midst of war between him and God. Moreover, Ephesians 4:11-12 says, “Equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.” Although Corrie’s family were christians, they gave lots of their efforts on helping the Jews, finding a safe place for them to stay in, giving ration cards to the Jews, and allowing some of them to stay in their home. Although they knew it was dangerous to help Jews, they reached out their hands to them so that the body of Christ would be built up. This too, shows unity within Christ, even in the midst of dangerous

  • The Sunflower: On the Possibilities and Limits of Forgiveness, by Simon Weisenthal

    Forgiveness is crucial for a clear conscience and peace of mind for the both of them. However, all of this is arguable by the fact that today’s experiences are incomparable to those of Hitler’s times. One cannot begin to place one in each other’s shoes and know exactly how to respond to the events happening. One can only guess how they would respond, but until they are in that moment, all plausible reasoning can change. Nevertheless, forgiveness continues to be an aspect of everyday life in every century.

    Specifically, crime shows have given us, the TV audience as a whole, scripts or an expectation of what will/should happen in a variety of situations. It leads people to think about what is appropriate and what isn’t in terms of how the results of these situations play out. For example, in the CSI franchise, as the plot unfolds in each episode, it takes forensic evidence, such as DNA or fingerprints, to convict the villain. Before the technological breakthroughs made in the fields of biology and forensics, juries relied more on circumstantial evidence, and eyewitness accounts to prove someone was guilty. This is just one example of how crime shows have changed the general representations of what is the “correct” way to solve a crime.

  • Dewey: Synthesis Essay

    627 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Democracy and Education, John Dewey, described as the father of experience-derived education, gave his opinion of how democracy and education should interact in order to create a sound democratic society. He wrote of how a democracy cannot flourish if education is tuned for the masses or if only a select few can get higher education. He also discussed how the “three R’s” (reading, writing, and arithmetic) are faulty, and how the curriculum must help students develop the ability to tackle social issues in the “real world.” However, high schools today are not preparing citizens to achieve Dewey’s vision; rather, they are moving farther away from it.

  • War Creates Social Division, Not Cohesion

    5389 Words  | 11 Pages

    In attempts to truthfully learn from our past and make progress towards a peaceful world with equality for all, the topic of war, and the effects of war, is an importance issue. Many people believe that war, although obviously destructive, does lead to social cohesion within the particular nation-state at war. The Senate of Canada defines social cohesion as the capacity of citizens living under different social or economic circumstances to live together in harmony, with a sense of mutual commitment. (Culturelink, par. 2) The idea that war leads to social cohesion is based upon the assumption that during a time of crisis, such as a war, people will come together out of the necessity to survive. This belief that the masses unite, neglecting prior dispositions towards one another while opposing a common enemy, has been fairly prominent throughout history. The Second World War, the Cold War, and the Gulf War will be used as examples to research the assumption that social cohesion is a result of warfare. I will argue that warfare, opposed to popular belief, causes large-scale discrimination, which in turn creates social division, not cohesion. Once an understanding of the discriminatory effects war causes is expressed, the backbone derived from the research is that we must valiantly oppose military action to uphold our freedom and equality for all, rather than trying to fight for freedom.

    Television has affected every aspect of life in society, radically changing the way individuals live and interact with the world. However, change is not always for the better, especially the influence of television on political campaigns towards presidency. Since the 1960s, presidential elections in the United States were greatly impacted by television, yet the impact has not been positive. Television allowed the public to have more access to information and gained reassurance to which candidate they chose to vote for. However, the media failed to recognize the importance of elections. Candidates became image based rather than issue based using a “celebrity system” to concern the public with subjects regarding debates (Hart and Trice). Due to “hyperfamiliarity” television turned numerous people away from being interested in debates between candidates (Hart and Trice). Although television had the ability to reach a greater number of people than it did before the Nixon/Kennedy debate, it shortened the attention span of the public, which made the overall process of elections unfair, due to the emphasis on image rather than issue.

  • Napoleon and German and Italian Unification

    3348 Words  | 7 Pages

    Unification in the simplest form is the process of creating one from many. Unifying a nation uses this same basic idea in creating one integrated nation from many; many territories, many economies, many governments,many social structures, many peoples, many histories, many memories. It is more than drawing lines on a map or bringing together many entities under a single government, unification is a detailed cultural process in which independent individuals come together to form a people and a loyalty, often sharing a common history, language, religion, or other factors. When a country is created, the world changes. Suddenly, the balance of powers is shifted, the social framework is altered, entire economies are influenced and history is almost rewritten to dig to the roots of the formation. Such an astronomical change certainly must require equally incredible efforts to occur. Many factors play a role in the creation of a country, including just the right political climate and social context but the leadership of an influential public figure is often a crucial component. History has seen the development of many nations from this process known as unification led by the campaigns of successful leaders. Two of the most significant countries brought together through this application, are none other than the thriving current-day nations of Italy and Germany. Two of the worlds greatest powers, who since their conception, have played an enormous role in altering the world into its current state. Two countries that, although relatively young in the scheme of nation building, have influenced history. Two entities with stable, independent economies, political bodies, so...

    Similarly, unity lessens hostility, hatred, conflict, mistrust, destruction and ruins; rather it consolidates cooperation, trust, brotherhood, friendship and so on. If people are united, they certainly contribute to the development of the country because of the spirit of patriotism; and they can intensify their steps for the advancement of the country. If they are aptly united, they enhance the spirit of 'We', but not 'I'. This builds up and boosts up the rights and freedom of the people. It won't be exaggeration to say that harmony within diversity absolutely intensifies human prosperity.
