The good is happiness for him. He urges us to choose the fine, the beneficial and the pleasant, and to avoid the shameful, the harmful
H. Richard Niebuhr’s piece “Christ and Culture,” is a piece that takes an in depth look at relationship between Christ and society. What Niebuhr thinks the major problem is how can Jesus interconnect with human-made culture?

He goes on to show five different ways that Christians attempt to

expected roles males were expected to fit in; I argue that its value comes from examining it not alone, but in relation to and in concomitance with femininity. As Richard H.

Also, though her appearance is much hampered by the scarlet letter, her mind is freed by it, that an intellectual passion rises from her isolation and suffering. Finally
