“I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.”- Mother Teresa. Indian nun, Mother Teresa, was an outstanding individual, who's ideals and morals were saint-like which she displayed in three major events that she globally sunned everyone; Von Der Schulenburg death, her aid for the poor, and her fight against abortion. As these are all but a few over her courageous acts, she showed a Godly roll modal for other religions, and was rewarded with a nodel bell prize to show for her selflessness. In the book “Something Beautiful for God”, the anther was heavily criticized for not being impartial, however, which sets a higher president, “Inspiring” or “impartial”?
“The hunger for love is

much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.”- Mother Teresa. Before discussing, we must understand was it means to be “impartial”; impartial means to treat all rivals or disputants equally, fair and just. Von Der Schulenburg served as leader of the soviet union; an all atheist country, which executed Christians and other religions. Mother Teresa payed her respects to Von Der Schulenburg, despite his hatred towards religions. Was the author showing impartial behavior? Or was Mother Teresa projecting inspiration to others? “We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless.
The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.”- Mother Teresa. Another beautiful act of a humble nun, was her main philosophy of the poor, and how all of us are spiritually poor in some way. Though, her philosophy could be taken one of two ways, she still had respect for the rich and kindness for the poor. Some say Mother Teresa was a saint, others would say she resembled a kind hearted individual, unfortunately, people thought she was abusive towards poor children, but as this was made very clear that she isn't a hospital but rather a home- and to provide a home, she also trained abandoned infants. Was this impartial poor or rich people? Was there really any form of rank in Mother Teresa?
“The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between.”- Mother Teresa. Despite the importance of assisting the poor, Mother Teresa was serious about abortion, as this was an injustice to the unborn and encroaching on human morals. Though, this is a sensitive subject, Mother Teresa doesn't hesitate to bring it to others attention. Any like minded individual would agree, right? Sadly, this is still a ongoing debate, But did Mother Teresa inspire the masses to being open-minded about human
value? In the end, Mother Teresa, was an outstanding individual, who's ideals and morals were saint-like which she displayed in three major events that she globally sunned everyone; And her selfless kindness towards everyone. In the book “Something Beautiful for God”, the author was heavily criticized for not being impartial, however, which sets a higher president, “Inspiring” or “impartial”? I believe Mother Teresa inspired everyone in one way or another through helping the poor and abandon or through the church. Much can be learned by this courageous woman, as this has impacted everyone in some delightful way. “Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.”- Mother Teresa
I, Susan B. Anthony, am a transcendentalists and women’s right activist. I was raised in a family where everyone was politically active. My family was active in the abolitionist movement and also the temperance movement. When I was campaigning what the temperance movement it inspired me to fight for women’s rights. The reason being is because when I attended a temperance convention I was denied the right to speak because I was a women. I was infuriated by this. I also realized that if women didn’t earn the right to vote no one would take any women seriously where politics were involved. So i founded the National Women Suffrage Association with activist Elizabeth Stanton. Then I began speaking and protesting all round america. In 1872 I even
She argued and fought for all women to have access and with it freedom to choose when and or if they wanted to be mothers.
...women, Jews, and Negroes were just some of the many things she believed in and worked for. With more equality between the different kinds of people, there can be more peace and happiness in the world without all the discrimination. Her accomplishments brought about increased unity in people, which was what she did to benefit mankind. All of her experiences and determination motivated her to do what she did, and it was a gift to humanity.
However, she never really experienced the actual life of living in poverty as the majority of people living in poverty experience. Barbara, an educated white women had just that on other people living in poverty, because of the color of her skin and education level that is more often than not restricted from people living in poverty. She was able and more qualified for jobs than other people living amongst the status she was playing. She also was able to more readily seek better benefits than people living in poverty. When she first start her journey in Florida she had a car, a car that in most cases people living in poverty do not have. She was also able to use the internet to find local jobs and available housing in the area that many people living in poverty are restricted from. Another great benefit she had was the luxury of affording a drug detox cleansing her of drugs deemed bad. Many people living in poverty do not have much extra cash laying around much less fifty dollars to afford a detox for prescription drugs. She also had the luxury to afford her prescription drugs, another option that many people living in poverty do not have. Another element that made Barbara’s experience not that genuine was the fact that she was not providing for anybody other than herself. Twenty-two percent of kids under the age of 18 are living below the poverty line (http://npc.umich.edu/poverty/#5) , Barbara did not have to provide for pets or kids which would of changed her experience altogether of living in poverty. Not to belittle Barbara’s experience, but many factors of what life is like living in poverty were not taken into consideration during her
Does helping the poor, saving lives, shielding families and inspiring individuals interest you or do you feel that it is your duty to uplift individuals in social classes? The purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast Jane Addams and William Sumner. Although Addams and Sumner bear some superficial similarities, the differences between the both of them are clear. Although Addams and Sumner share a similar background, they each have their own worldview on people that are poverty stricken and individuals that are wealthy. Addams’ main focus was to contribute in any way that she could to help the poor and impact lives for a more efficient society. Sumner believed that the supply of wealth was based on people’s skills and those that have
Without doubt, Helen Keller is now a household name in nearly every part of the world (too bad she could never hear it.) Helen Keller faced many childhood and adulthood difficulties, and remains to be seen as an extremely positive influence for all women. From my perspective, she was a hardworking activist with her own personal views and opinions despite her ailments. Keller is a true role model for all women – especially those with their own diseases or disabilities. Feminists of all ages could look to the path Keller made for them in the world of women suffrage and equality.
Mother Teresa was one of the most renowned humanitarians of her time. She dedicated her life to other people never to herself. She had many missions throughout her lifetime and was well known throughout the world. Mother Teresa was a kind-hearted woman whose quest was to make this world a better place.
... the poor and sick when she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 (Tucker). (WC-827)
But still, some were still selfish and did not appreciate him and his work. Those people think high on themselves and think that they are better than the others. That’s just because their hearts are not pure, their mind is not set to the correct way of life. And they’re living their life the wrong way. The right thing to do might not always be the easiest, but most importantly it is the responsible thing to do. For example, Mother Teresa surrendered her heart and soul in order to help others and make their life better. Even most of them were diseased in a dangerous way, she didn’t cared, because she knew that they weren’t only hungry for bread and thirsty for water, they were also hungry for love. They wanted to know that they are special and perfect for someone, that someone cares for them, that they aren’t just a dead weight for some people. Mother Teresa won a Nobel prize for peace, and a big amount of cash, but she didn’t accepted them because she knew that money are the root of all evil and that if we can’t be there one for another, then we’ve lost our purpose. The meaning of life isn’t about being rich on cash
Activists women of the 20th century engaged in various crusades in order to emancipate women and change the conventional stereotyping society that continued to compartmentalized people according to their gender. Eleanor Roosevelt was one of those feminists who advanced the political and social freedom of women. Amidst the ongoing racial discrimination against certain groups of people, the Jews in particular, Roosevelt courageously opened the eyes of the people about the worldwide prejudices that were hindering the exercise of freedom of people (Cook “Reading 4” 535). Through her writings, she became very vocal about human rights abuses. In one of her articles, she rebuked the “kind of anticommunist hysteria that had resulted in fascist triumph and appeasement throughout so much of Europe” (Cook “Reading 4” 535). When virtually the entire America hated the Jews, some even called them “dogs”, Eleanor Roosevelt called for worldwide educational campaign to address the prejudi...
Mother Teresa should have helped the poor for three reason. Mother Teresa was called to minister to the poor by God, she would help the children of the poor, and she would reflect the love of Christ to the outside...
Mother Teresa believed God worked through the world by prayer, in conclusion she mentioned how prayer was really important in her life and that’s how she connected to God. She mentions in the reading, “The more you pray, the better you will pray.” Not on in prayer but in silence she believed we can connect through God, as she states, “In a vocal prayer we speak to God; and in mental prayer he speaks to us.” Mother Teresa really believed we knew and can be certain that God is possible. Her knowledge of God is related to faith, since she has a knowledge of God she continues her life based off of what she should do for him. She gives to people and serves people for God. An example in the reading is when the poor family with children is given rice, and the mother ends up giving half of the rice to the other family she knows that was starving. This is a Godly act that was preformed.
in her life, but most importantly she inspired other women to be independent and to improve their lives.
In August 1948, at the age of 38, Mother Teresa decided to adventure into the poorest neighborhoods of Calcutta, India, in order to live out her utopian dream by providing food, care, education, and shelter for the poor. Feeding people the Word of God; clothing them with dignity; educating them with knowledge, peace, truth, justice and love; nursing the mind and spirit; and sheltering them with a heart that understands. ("servants") I believe that a utopian vision is any vision that follows natural law, creates happiness in the community, and is feasible. Mother Teresa's visions are, in fact, effective utopian visions. Mother Teresa's visions included living a simple life, serving the poorest of the poor, treating everyone as equals, suffering cheerfully, and loving all until it hurts. In this paper, the ideas and visions that Mother Teresa cherished will be evaluated and questioned based on my three defined criteria of a utopian vision.
Helen Keller, a political activist, an author. How is a single woman able accomplish many things, especially when that woman is deaf and blind? According to Helen Keller the key to becoming successful in her chosen field was by staying optimistic no matter what obstacle was thrown her way, and in Helen Keller’s case, she truly fit the description of an optimist.
