Analysis of Hopkin’s Poem "god’s Grandeur"
Gerard Hopkins wrote God’s Grandeur in 1877 right around the time he was ordained as a priest. The poem deals with his feelings about God’s presence and power in the world.

My Views on Civil Disobedience
Henry David Thoreau takes his views of government and expresses them through this essay. He starts off by saying “I heartily accept the motto, ‘That government is best which governs least’…” I disagree with this quote, although, too much power to the government is never a good thing either.

Does the Book of Job strengthen your faith in God's justice?

Descartes - 2nd Meditation
SECOND MEDITATION At the beginning of the Second Meditation, Descartes is stuck in the middle of nothingness. As he regards everything that is around him to be false he has nothing to believe in.

Everything that he has ever seen, learned or thought is now external from what he believes to be true and

Descartes
Descartes, are you there? “To be, or not to be.” That certainly isn’t necessarily the question but is a question when it comes to Descartes. Does Descartes exist? In theory he should, right?

The legalization of marijuana is, and has been a heavily disputed issue for decades. On one hand, marijuana could lead to a medical breakthrough, or at least provide relief to cancer and AIDS patients. On the other hand, legalizing a drug could expose it to too broad an audience. As a drug, marijuana has never proven to be anywhere near as harmful as cigarettes or alcohol. Each year in the United States, 400,000 people
