Narrative Review

The kind of life Lafeyette and Pharoah lead show the efforts that kids put in place to just be kids. Despite the situations they find themselves in, deep inside they still remain kids.

Philosophy

1. The author’s argument about neonatal male circumcision is on the following lines: Neonatal male circumcision is a radical medical procedure providing little medical benefits, while being complex and carrying a risk of complications and pain.

Arguments supporting the practice on religious grounds lack merit as similar religious injunctions for female circumcision stand discredited and are not followed. Male circumcision is done at an early age primarily to avoid opposition from the subject; an aspect borne Continue reading...

Based on humanity, Sartre’s ideologies revolve around religious beliefs where God created human beings with a purpose in mind. In fact, all that exists serves the purpose that God intended and that is why animals can make different noises but do not necessarily have the sense of humor that humans possess. According to religious teachings, humans live to serve God, and during Sartre’s time, serving God entailed going to houses of worship and respecting the Catholic Church. On that note, although Chimpanzees closely resemble human beings, they do not have religious functions because God did not intend Continue reading...

Principles of Christian Discipleship

Principle 1: Disciples Must Be Called Christian discipleship is exclusively rooted in Christ (Jn. 15.1-2).
