There are many famous individuals through the history who made great impact on our lives. We can go on and on to list them all but for my topic I would like to choose one of the wisest person who ever lived is king Solomon. During his era the Israel kingdom achieved a lot of success in trading, expansion and fair judgment. Also Solomon regarded as an author of high skill and remarkable output. The writings that have been attributed to him are the biblical Proverbs, the Song of Solomon, Ecclesiastes, the Wisdom of Solomon, and the later Psalms of Solomon.

The book of Proverbs expresses the conclusion of the will of man. Together, the books of Psalms, Proverbs and Ecclesiastes give us the understanding of the soul of man. In Psalms you have the emotional nature, which is one part of the soul function. Ecclesiastes deals with the function of the mind, the search of man reason throughout the earth, analyzing, evaluating, weighing and concluding. But in the book of Proverbs we have the appeal to the will of man and the conclusion of the will. Therefore, this book is all about the things man should decide, the choices of life. This is beautifully set before us in the introduction to the book.

We all know that education is not only the key for our success and good life but also expansion of knowledge and information. “To know wisdom and instruction, to discern the saying of understanding, to receive instruction in wise behavior, righteousness, justice and equity; to the youth kn...

    Education has always been in existence in one form or another. As each child is born into this world regardless of who or where they are born, life lessons immediately begin. He/she will learn to crawl, walk, and talk by the example and encouragement of others. Although these lessons are basic in the beginning they evolve as the child grows. However, the core learning method of a child does not change. Learning from others, they will watch, listen, and then act for themselves. Thomas Jefferson believed that an education would lead men and women to the ability to be self-governed and become positive contributors to society (Mondale & Patton, 2001). Today, we can see how true this is by the examples of others. Those that are given the opportunity for education are more likely to find jobs and develop skills that not only improve a community, but influence the economic growth of their nation (Ravitch, Cortese, West, Carmichael, Andere, & Munson, 2009, p. 13). On the other hand, if an education is not provided to individuals, they can become a hindrance to that nation’s growth.

  • Human Trafficking Essay

    1514 Words  | 4 Pages

    “Smuggling implies a contractual relationship between those seeking to leave a country and those acting as agents to assist their client with entry to another country. Usually, the relationship ends once the migrants have arrived at their destination and have paid their legal fees. Illegal immigrants are individuals who travel to another country to seek employment, without possessing proper documentation. They may or may not have been smuggled. Human Trafficking, on the other hand, is a business involving coercion, abduction, fraud, deception, abuse of power as well as abuse of vulnerability of women and children for purposes of forced labor or prostitution. It is only the trafficker who gains.” (Clark, Michele A. "Human Trafficking Casts Shadow on Globalization”)

  • Research Paper On Human Trafficking

    1023 Words  | 3 Pages

    Human trafficking is a nefarious crime-ran industry accumulating $32 billion annually. It is an act that violates basic human rights in which all people should be free to exercise. The UN outlines trafficking having three inherent components; the act, means and purpose. Acts that entail harbouring, recruiting and transferring of people by means of coercion, abduction, fraud or deception for the purposes of exploitation including prostitution, forced labour, slavery, and organ removal constitutes trafficking. This definition is universally recognized providing uniformity across all nations that must control the trafficking epidemic. However, it is important to note that human trafficking and smuggling are two completely separate definitions where human smuggling is primarily a way for people to pay a fee to escape their home country while simultaneously crossing boarders illegally but remain free and unviolated. Human trafficking is a critical example of violating the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which stands to “fight against oppression, impunity and affronts to human

  • The Importance Of Identity In The African Diaspora

    Identifying with the global community of blackness is a very important part of identity building for people of African descent. By identifying with this diaspora, they align themselves with a history of a strong resilient people with a fluid and beautiful culture. To feel like you are a part of the African Diaspora, first, one must identify with the race that connects all the people of the Diaspora more so than their shared experiences or culture: the African race. In Racial Formations, Omi exhibits that in social interactions, “one of the first things we notice about people when we meet them (along with their sex) is their race. We utilize race to provide clues about who a person is” (Omi 87). Race is an extremely important part of not only identity, but also who we are in society, who we are in relation to the rest of

  • Unveiling Human Trafficking in the United States

    1330 Words  | 3 Pages

    One of the most comprehensive descriptions of human trafficking has been put forth by the United Nations, which defines the act of human trafficking as the “recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of individuals through the use of threat, force, violence, fraud, coercion, deception, abuse of power or the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person who is controlled by another person, for the sole purpose of exploitation” (Parreñas, Hwang & Lee, 2012, p.1015). As such, this definition focuses first on the concept of transportation and movement of the person, then on the concept of coercion, deception and fraud, finally the way this is established discusses exploitation as the last component. This definition differs from the definition of human migration and smuggling due to the fact that the consent of the individual involved is irrelevant (Parreñas, Hwang & Lee, 2012, p.1015). Human smuggling instead focuses on the illicit movement of individuals across national boundaries, in a manner that involves explicit consent from the individual involved (Parreñas, Hwang & Lee, 2012, p.1016). Regardless of these outlined
