whereas if I were to be dealing with people who I barely knew the situation would be different. Furthermore, if I was to try to greet people especially in a white predominant society while walking down the street or in a public place with a kiss on the cheek they would think I was some crazy person crossing boundaries. Since it is not normal in white cultures to express this type of greeting it would be strange if I tried to do that just like it would be strange that I didn’t greet in my Latin culture
molestation of a young white girl. The case is known as “The Kissing Case”, a case that has been much forgotten and to some even unheard.

When the ferry ride was over we exited the boat, hand in hand. Enjoying the moment, I was in, I felt as if this day couldn’t get any better.

I was becoming head over heels, and I just met him. I had no idea for the rollercoaster ride I just entered, but then again, not all great love stories start with a prince

it's not God who's arguing: We're the ones who do all the complaining and yelling and struggling. Being peacemakers means we live as His children by handling conflicts the same way He does. We love our "enemies" unconditionally. We turn the other cheek. Read 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. It tells us that God wants us to handle conflicts by being patient instead of demanding, by showing kindness and serving the person who fights against us, by not being rude, by not seeking our own interests or defending

Christians of Oberlin meeting. This is a group of generally open-minded individuals that get together on Sundays to have dinner and discuss topics related to Christianity. Topics range from "What is the Kingdom of God?" to "Pacifism: Turning the Other Cheek." Our topic this Sunday was "Women and the Bible." At first I thought that we might be studying Esther or one of the many Marys - prominent women in the Bible that are always mentioned whenever the subject is brought up. I was partly correct: we
Love Your Enemies Jesus said, “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth.’ But now I tell you: do not take revenge on someone who wrongs you. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, let them slap your left cheek too… love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” Is it possible to follow this teaching of Jesus today? The answer is yes, conveying this teaching is possible. There are still some people who do live in this way. One person who lived this
mosses from God in Exodus Chapter 20. "Love your neighbour as yourself". Mathew 22.37-39 which is one of the two greatest commandments given by God. Mathew 5 teaches people to take punishment and not to be quick to take revenge. "Turn the other cheek." Jesus tells people to be good.

reads, "You have heard that it was said, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. But now I tell you do not take revenge on someone who wrongs you. If someone slaps you on the right cheek, let him slap your left cheek too." What this means is, if someone hurts once, do not respond in a violent manner, turn the other cheek and let them do it again. It shows that Jesus was against violence. Gandhi said something similar: 'An eye for an eye and we shall all be blind'. Gandi meant that so mang people hurt

Justice in The Tempest and Merchant of Venice In both Merchant of Venice and The Tempest, Shakespeare proposes ideas of justice and mercy that hold true in both plays. In order to see if the actions taken were just and/or merciful, definitions of these words must be set up. If we were to assume that Shakespeare's definition of mercy was what Portia espoused in act four, scene one, specifically lines 205 - 206, the definition of mercy must be viewed in a biblical sense. Thus, in order to judge
creating a protagonist figure in Tea Cake Woods. Hurston’s characters just naturally fit into the roles and personalities that African American women have been socialized to expect and accept from black men. The good over the bad; turn the other cheek; don't let it get you down. Forever taught that the road ain't gonna be easy and that a ain't-half-bad man is better than no man, African American women have been instilled with the belief that abuse, bitterness, and sadness can be ignored if there

Capital Punishment – It’s Time to Turn the Other Cheek If... he has committed murder, he must die. In this case, there is no substitute that will satisfy the legal requirements of legal justice.There is no sameness of kind between death and remaining alive even under the most miserable conditions, and consequently there is no equality between crime and the retribution unless the criminal is judicially condemned and put to death."

ministers in every congregation. Having all of this religion around you instills attitudes of guidance from the bible. I feel that Booker T. Washington was heavily influenced by the bible whether he knew it or not. It states in the bible, “turn the other cheek, forgive one another and seek treasures of comfort from heaven, when someone is mean to you be kind to them and coals of fire will burn on their heads.” We have all heard these phrases throughout our life time. Could these ideologies be in stowed in
~My Kissing Hand~ In my palm, I hold the love. I squeeze the love. I feel the love. I love the love. Cherishing my possession, I press my palm to my fiery, blotchy cheek, and I remember that the love is always with me. Inside of my young hand, warmth radiates through the rest of my body as I hold it to my face. I recall what my mommy has told me hundreds and hundreds of times, “‘Mommy loves you. Mommy loves you.’” I wipe away the salty tears; I wipe away my fears. Breathe Justina, just breathe
