Cooper had been invited to preach in New Zealand where he founded what we now know as Gloriavale. When the Gloriavale community grew too big for its property the Leaders made a group decision to buy the land on the West Coast and moved there over a period of time from 1991 to 1995.

Neville and three other people are in charge of leading their community. The three others are usually the elders of the community. So overall it is the men that have leadership over the whole of the community. But there are other leaders known as Servants, who take care of the management of the six companies in Gloriavale as well as the school, early childhood department and different parts of the daily planning in the community. The community of Gloriavale is devoted to the way the Bible is taught and interpreted especially the philosophy of the Church which in turn means that the leaders of the community don’t have or gain any special treatment or privileges over any of the other members of Gloriavale, they believe that through hard work, example guidance and counsel do they serve them. The leader’s role is the same as fathers, performed by …show more content…
The community believe that the 500 or so people that live in the community wouldn’t be alive if they didn’t have the beliefs and lifestyle that they have now in the community. The people in the community were all born outside of what is known as the ‘norm’ statistics for New Zealand families, and most families have an average of 2 children. They believe that if they had not followed their teachings and if the parents and grandparents of the children of the community had used birth control, then their future generations would probably not exist. But it is known that the people in the community have a fair chance at life. They know that they are all wanted, loved and cherished by their parents and members of the

“She may be unmarried or in a bad marriage. She may consider herself too poor to raise a child. She may think her life is too unstable or unhappy, or she may think that her drinking or drug use will damage the baby’s health” (126). The emotional appeal in this paragraph could make the reader think they are pro-choice. Apart from their use of pathos, the authors do a great job using a mixture of both ethos and logos. Page 130 is an example of both, which were used expertly to help the reader understand their point of view and the

Dowling’s pamphlet Race Suicide, presents a racially/politically charged, analysis of the birth control debate as a socio-religious dilemma. Race Suicide reflected the disillusionment of the general public towards the greed and decadence of the wealthy upper-class saying “the designs of God are frustrated by the prosperous classes; and that a period of moral decay has begun” (6, 1,127) Dowling quotes scripture throughout the essay and refutes claims that earth’s production cannot maintain annual population increase. “True progress” as he explains it, is maintaining “Christian principles” of “duty and sacrifice,” “increase and multiply” (6, 2, 127). On the surface the document goes a long way in that it expresses radical religious contemplations in a “Progressive” manner, by using cool reasoning.

She is celebrating life however she shows great empathy and compassion for all who may make a decision to not go ahead with bringing a life into the world.
On the one hand, in order to endure the “pressure of existence,” qualities such as pity, patience, humility and compassion become commendable. In this sense, “slave morality is essentially a morality of utility,” as it promotes qualities that would comfort and placate those who are living in pain. In another sense however, these aforementioned qualities are revered because the people are afraid of one another. The nobles valued and maintained some of “the highest and strongest drives, [which can] drive the individual far above the average and the flats of the herd conscience, wreck the self-confidence of the community, its faith in itself, and it is as if its spine snapped.” Wishing to prevent any possible danger to the stability of the community, the virtues of the nobles, which elevate the individual over the community, are condemned as evil. Since everyone is in fear of each other, slave morality is used to ensure that no one tries to subjugate the

Margaret Sanger was, at large, a birth control activist, but this speech was more about the questioning of birth control corrupting morality in women. People must remember, in the day and age where Sanger presented this speech, November 1921, women were considered very far from equal and much closer to servants or maids. In her speech, I saw that ethos was present in the sense that she gave herself credibility. Through Sanger’s detailed words and actions, and her statements including the presence of scientists and, or, professionals, the masses of listening people could infer that she was very well informed and solid in her statements. Though she presented herself as agreeable, Sanger was firm in her beliefs. In addition, Sanger says, “We desire to stop at its source the disease, poverty and feeble-mindedness and insanity which exist today, for these lower the standards of civilization and make for race deterioration. We know that the masses of people are growing wiser and are using their own minds to decide their individual conduct” (Sanger, par.15). To me, Sanger made herself appeal to the audience by using the word ‘we.’ In the practice of ethos, this focused on the author more than...
