The Human Condition
Humanity has the capacity for reasoning and emotions. These wide range of emotion contribute to a human’s ability to love, hate, create war and art. 'The human condition' is an expression commonly used to describe an individual’s reaction to circumstances that they often encounter. This paper will prove that the study of the "human condition" plays an instrumental role in understanding art and literature. The study of the human condition addresses the subject of human nature, human society and worldviews. These subjects are the fundamental topics of human existence that help people understand the nature of the human condition and the larger social preparations that structure human lives.
Impacts on the Human Condition
Worldviews
Worldviews and the human condition are intertwined. Worldviews are inherited and developmental, they can be influenced and change overtime. An individual’s culture, religion and society influence their worldview. Worldviews are significant to the human condition because they are the structure of beliefs, values and assumptions regarding the way the world operates. A worldview also makes an individual challenge their beliefs and views of reality. Worldviews make people question where they come from and the meaning of life. Giving an individual meaning, purpose and a connection to the world.

  • The Branch Davidians

    1666 Words  | 4 Pages

    In 1929, Victor Houteff, a Bulgarian immigrant, claimed that he had a new message for the Seventh Day Adventist church. He submitted it to the church in the form of a book called "The Shepard's Rod". In the book he points out how the church has departed from basic church teachings. The churches leaders frowned upon his claims and felt that they would start uproar in the church. The leaders decided to ban him from the church. Once he was banned he formed a new church called the Davidian Seventh-day Adventists. He got the Davidian from the belief to restore the Davidic kingdom. In 1955 after Houteff's death the movement split forming the Branch Davidian Seventh-day Adventists. The term branch refers to the new name for Jesus Christ. The group, founded by Benjamin L. Roden, settled outside of Waco, Texas. The group occupied land formerly owned by the Davidian group. George Roden, the son of Benjamin, claimed he was the group's prophet but was sent to jail. The group never had a clear-cut leader until Vernon Howell took charge in 1988.

    The history of the Branch-Davidians can be dated back to 1831 to a man named William Miller. According to chronological studies, Miller began studying end of time prophecies of the Bible in 1833 and concluded that by 1843, the end of the world was imminent. The year 1843 arrived and to the disappointment of Miller and his followers, the world had not yet come to an end as predicted by Miller, this eventually led to him revising his prediction date to 1844. In 1844, Christ failed to appear once again. This second blundering prediction by Miller known as “The Great Disappointment” led to the disbanding of the Millerites. After the splitting of the Millerites, a group of former followers formed their own organization. They formed what is known today as the Seventh-day Adventist Church who eventually became a recognized denomination by 1863. Three people who stood out among the leaders of the Adventists were Joseph Bates, James and Ellen G. White. History shows that they were the nucleus of the group and among the three; Ellen grew into a gifted author, speake...

    Hey Doug, I was wondering what your worldview is. In case you don’t know what a worldview is I will give you the definition for it. A worldview is basically how a person sees the world. Every person is entitled to have a worldview and I was wondering which was yours because everyone has a worldview whether the person knows it or not. A person might just even see the world as a happy place and that would count as a worldview because that’s how the person sees the world. Colossians 3:17 “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” There are many different worldviews per person in this world.

    In conclusion, my worldview encapsulates the fact that a God exists and he has created the human race in his image. Being created in his image, I am bestowed with God’s character of love, kindness, righteousness, forgiveness, and all other great attributes expressed by him. Our duty as those who claim the title “Christian” is to live with a Christ like attitude and to walk the walk instead of just talking the talk. I need to put my knowledge, talents, and skills to work for Christ till his return. The choice to live my life for him is what gives my life meaning and purpose.

  • Frontline Outbreak Ebola Summary

    419 Words  | 1 Pages

    The theory behind how Ebola was introduced was from children eating bats which were infected. A man’s 1-year-old son suddenly became sick with a fever, had diarrhea, and stopped eating; later, he died. The government of Guinea didn’t know how to respond to the outbreak, and the Ministry of Health thought they could contain it. Meanwhile, Ebola was spreading to Sierra Leone, and eventually the 3 poorest neighboring countries were infected. A corpse of an Ebola patient was highly infectious, but traditional practice of Africans was to wash and dress the body, which enabled the virus to infect those

People need to care and help to stop Ebola. (Sharf)

    In the year 1976, Ebola outbreaks occurred for the first time in rural villages, which are close to tropical forests of Central Africa, but the first ever diagnosed case was reported in the last quarter of the year 2013 in Guinea, which is in close proximity with Liberia and Sierra Leone(Team, 2014). The knowledge of the viral transmission from any animal species to human beings is missing. WHO, an active entity of the UN, is accountable of coordinating international action in any severe disease emergencies like this as WHO has been successful in eliminating disease of high severity like small pox. The question that disturbs us is how did this ailment go horribly out of control? I believe that Ebola has exposed the lack of communication between

    I personally think that the 7th Day Adventist and Jehovah Witnesses have faced opposition from established forms of Christianity and government because of their different interpretations of their beliefs. One of the ways is that Jehovah’s Witnesses do not consider themselves to be Protestants as the 7th Day Adventist believes. The Jehovah’s Witnesses and the 7th Day Adventist have become separated because of their different ways of working toward to God and of the teachings from the Bible. For instance, in the book of World Religions in America, Chapter 13 by Dell deChant mentions, “Still, the Witnesses share common elements with many Protestant groups. First among there is its acceptance of the Bible as the inspired Word of God. The official Bible of the Witnesses is the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, a text produced by the movement. Although it contains the sixty-six books found in Protestant Bibles.” Since the 7th Day Adventist considers them Protestant, they do follow the Bible and they do not use New World Translation which the Jehovah’s Witnesses do. This is one of the problems that will interfered with the different believes between these two religions and will place a different thought. By the Jehovah’s Witnesses using these different version makes them conclude that God dies in a stake not a cross which 7th Day Adventist make it conclude in a different way base on the original version of the

It includes the ideas, value, customs and artifacts of a group of people (Schaefer, 2002). Culture is a pattern of human activities and the symbols that give these activities significance. It is what people eat, how they dress, beliefs they hold and activities they engage in. It is the totality of the way of life evolved by a people in their attempts to meet the challenges of living in their environment, which gives order and meaning to their social, political, economic, aesthetic and religious norms and modes of organization thus distinguishing people from their neighbors.
