on this behavior pseudonyms are slowly being replaced with our real identities. However, the use of pseudonyms may have a beneficial impact as well. Through lack of example we often lose sight of this, but it is by observing an example in which pseudonymity breeds positive consequences in which we can understand the importance of it online. One such example of this is in the semi-autobiographical work Ruth Hall: A Domestic Tale of Present Time, by Fanny Fern (Sarah Willis), written in 1854. Even though

Tumblr, a social networking site that gained popularity in the Philippines, is becoming an avenue for people to express themselves which is being overused through pseudonymity and degrades the self esteem of an individual.

INTRODUCTION The three books from the canonical New Testament, namely 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus form a distinct group known as the Pastoral Epistles. They are among the group of letters of Apostle Paul’s parting counsel addressed to his protégé, Timothy and Titus whom he has left in charge of the churches. Timothy was left to have oversight of the church in Ephesus while Titus was entrusted the care of the churches in the island of Crete. The Pastoral Epistles contain Paul’s pastoral theology
Pseudonymity, according to Patzia (1995), means that something may have been written: “in the name of someone else” (pg. 122) for example, Ephesians written in the name of Paul, to communicate a message with the authority of Paul. Many scholars may view this
variations in literary form and doctrinal emphases, as compared to other known Pauline writings, to substantiate their claim. Based on this argument many believe the pastorals to be written under pseudonymity, meaning some later follower wrote these letters and attributed them to the apostle. While pseudonymity was more commonplace in the Gospels and the apocalypses, letters written in this way are very rare. If one were to take the position that the pastoral epistles were written by anyone but Paul
According to Pell (2014), “but in colonial West Africa, anonymity and pseudonymity had dimensions not found in Europe”. They meant resistance to the colonial obsession with eliminating the elasticity and mobility of West African naming practices. They also made possible continuities with African oral genres (PECK, 2014). Thus
Numerical Symbolism One of the structural features of apocalyptic is that events and times are often arranged into distinct units, or epochs, which are then ordered into significantly numbered sets. 3, 4, 7, 10 and 12, and their multiples are especially significant. The seventy weeks of years in Daniel 9 is a prime example. This periodisation of history both highlighted the idea that the number and length of these units was determined - thus, despite all present circumstances, Gods purposes would
The end. Absolute in its finality, the end provides at once both a tempting and alluring topic of discussion. Attributable to this fact is the popularity of literary works which discuss the resolution of humanity. Examples of so called apocalyptic literature predate the Old Testament, however, the most controversial biblical example is John’s The Book of Revelation. The work is controversial because it falls to the subjective application of qualifying elements to determine Revelation’s in- or exclusion

What are privacy rights and does our government respect this fundamental human right? Glenn in his book, The Right to privacy: Rights and Liberties Under the Law, defines privacy as the right of an individual to determine for oneself if and to what extent personal information is disseminated and the right to control the intimacies of life (Richard, 2003, p. 3). Further, privacy is termed as the freedom from intrusion into one's personal life, dignity, and protection of individual’s independence.
Behind the mask: anonymity on the internet Introduction : With the advent of the internet, anonymity is easily achieved.

We define internet anonymity as a state where an individual feels like he/she is not being tracked, recorded or viewed
