Common Themes In Jesus Mary

2402 Words10 Pages

1. There are a great many amount of themes that can be used to describe an even greater amount of women within the bible, the ones that I noticed that were the most common, however, were:
1) The first theme noticed is that there are women who are dedicated.
a. This can first be seen in Tamar, who was a childless widow. After her husband’s death, she was given to her brother-in-law; this marriage was intended to continue the name and inheritance of her deceased husband. However, while Tamar's brother-in-law had sex with her, he refused to give her the child she desired, and for this he was killed by God. Judah refused to give Tamar any of his other sons, because of fear of having them slain as well, in response to this, Tamar opted to disguise …show more content…

a. Mary Magdalene, a woman who was plagued by seven demons was saved by Jesus. She demonstrates her faith in Jesus in numerous ways, however most prominent would likely be her anointing of His body for his coming burial, she does this by pouring a vile of alabaster over His head, and wiping His feet with her hair, a gesture used to show deep love and reverence.
b. The second example is of Martha, at one point Martha sent a message to Jesus, asking him to come and save Lazarus, her and Mary's brother, He responds by saying that he will. However, Jesus puts off coming for two days, allowing enough time for Lazarus to pass from his illness, and be buried through normal Jewish customs. When He arrives on the fourth day, Martha goes out to meet him, and rather than be angry and curse him, instead says to Him that she believes in Him and that her brother will again rise through the power of the Lord and His Son.
4) The fourth theme was …show more content…

The recent acts of terrorism are the most prominent example of when a masculine view point is necessary. Diplomacy is often the best choice, however there will always be that one person, that one group that just cannot be talked down, in this situation action must be taken, it must be taken quickly and efficiently in order to protect the innocent.
b. There is also the case regarding government support, such as section 8 housing or welfare. These are beneficial programs, and in no way should be removed, however, it is necessary to show that these aren't free passes, they're there to help citizens get back on their feet, not so that they can live under the governments paycheck for free, and as such a masculine voice would be needed, that tone of authority that says when enough is enough and it's time to stop relying on others and start doing more for yourself.
4. I learned that, despite all the different view points, all the people who are feminine or those that are masculine, we're all rather similar in nature, and in this sense I learned that I'm just as strong-minded, often pig headed, in my stance. Because of this I can often miss other perspectives, or even miss a bigger picture entirely. So most of all this class demonstrated that I have more maturing to do, more in the sense that I need to see more of the world, rather than base everything off of what happens around

Before this class I had never watched or heard of the film The Hunting Ground. I immediately downloaded Lady Gaga’s song to my phone. I felt I learned the most from this unit as well as feeling the most connected to what we were talking about in class. The film taught me that sexual assault on campuses is more common than I thought as well as less reported than I thought. It was shocking to learn of how colleges had ways of protecting a lot of the accused offenders, for example the athletes or fraternities.

My view of the world changed a ton after taking this class. Before taking this class, I didn't know much about other countries, and what was happening around the world, but now I know what is happening worldwide.

Within Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and Saving Private Ryan, we are given two different examples of what it means to possess masculine tendencies. Depending on whom you ask, the definition of what it is to be masculine can vary. From what we have learned from Bird’s article, “Welcome to the Men’s Club: Homosociality and the Maintenance of Hegemonic Masculinity”, is that in order to be masculine, one must be able to be detached and possess a sense of independence (125). As for the article written by Schrock & Schwalbe, “Men, Masculinity, and Manhood Acts”, we are presented with the idea of gender roles. The article goes on to discuss how men have to act a certain way in order to be perceived as masculine (278).

Josef Mengele was a Nazi SS doctor notorious for his gruesome experiments conducted on Jewish and Roma inmates, including those involving twins in Auschwitz-Birkenau, Poland. Before WW2, Josef Mengele was an assistant to a well-known researcher, Dr. Otmar von Verschuer, who studied twins. When the war started, Mengele relocated to Auschwitz where he had access to an unlimited supply of twins and the authority to maim and kill subjects without consequence (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum). Initially, Josef Mengele was not necessarily feared by children he experimented on. He was often known to appear with pockets full of candy and chocolates, to pat them on the head, to talk with them, and sometimes even to play with the kids(Rosenberg).

Mary, the mother of Christ, influences the people who read her Biblical and non-Biblical stories. Since the Bible was written, she has been responsible for many different movements, mannerisms, political revolts, and deaths. This is odd because the Bible portrays her as such a docile woman. She inadvertently laid the ground work that would later promote the Church’s idea of what a woman should be physically, sexually, and emotionally. It was only the Church’s interpretations of Mary from the Bible that caused these standards, she cannot be held accountable for these ‘Marian moral rules’ came into play long after she was dead.

This class has been an eye opener. It made me realize how connected we are with the rest of the world. It has also opened my eyes on the inequality many people experience today. The problem is that many turn their heads away and ignore the problem hoping it will go away. Others see and accept the problems but refuse to do anything about it, but then there are those that see the problem and they are doing something about.

I learned so much about having hard conversation, and being respectful too. I know now that even if you don’t agree with someone, you can still be respectful to them, as they should be to you as well. This conversation taught me how to communicate with others even if the topic is hard to talk about. I know that this conversation will continue to contribute to my success here at K-state, and through

My observation is based off what occurred during the meeting with Mary on 1/8/16. James tried to explain to Mary that she should not speak negative things out loud on the floor for other people to hear. Mary did not acknowledge what James was trying to tell her she went right into saying that Denis was abusive to her out on the floor by calling her obsessive. James made several attempts to keep Mary calm and focused on the main reason why we were in there, but Mary continued to talk about Denis and how he had been abusive to her and how talking about it made her pulse race and her blood pressure rise.
