My oo Moment

 My oo moment for this week was last class when we were focusing on animal rights compared to human rights. I liked to see how everyone's reaction to each situation we focused on for animal rights was different, such as the chimpanzee and the human. The whole class seemed to be very interested in this subject and almost everyone was raising their hand. I liked this last class for ethics and I hope there are more similar and interesting ethics and opinions to come.

Hinduism devaluing women

In my personal opinion I believe that the religion of Hinduism does devalue women. This is because women have no choice of their own and our seen as slaves, they have no freedom. Women must treat their husbands as gods and obey his every command whether they want to or not. They do not have the freedom to travel where they want or even go outside without an escort. They are also forced to marry at very young ages and if their husband dies they have to kill themselves as well because there is nothing else to live for. Even if the woman wanted to live in that kind of situation, she could not because she is forced to die once her husband does.

Buddhism

I found studying Buddhism very interesting in class and am surprised that it is only the 4th largest religion today. I like its morals and how it focuses on the path to enlightenment,morality,meditation and wisdom. It was very interesting how it was created by 500 monks, where they debated to come up with final versions of Buddhism. Even though it is only the 4th largest religion, people from other religions are near some of their same morals and beliefs. An instance for this would include that life is interconnected, and reincarnation. I am looking forward to studying other religions as well as ethics.

Spiritual Song

Song:Creeping Death
Artist:Metallica


Slaves
Hebrews born to serve, to the pharaoh
Heed
To his every word, live in fear
Faith
Of the unknown one, the deliverer
Wait
Something must be done, four hundred years

So let it be written, so let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written, so let it be done
To kill the first born pharaoh son
I'm creeping death

Now
Let my people go, land of Goshen
Go
I will be with thee, bush of fire
Blood
Running red and strong down the Nile
Plague
Darkness three days long, hail to fire

So let it be written, so let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written, so let it be done
To kill the first-born pharaoh son
I'm creeping death

Die by my hand
I creep across the land
Killing first-born man

Die by my hand
I creep across the land
Killing first-born man

I
Rule the midnight air, the destroyer
Born
I shall soon be there, deadly mass
I
Creep the steps and floor, final darkness
Blood
Lamb's blood, painted doors, I shall pass

So let it be written, so let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written, so let it be done
To kill the first-born pharaoh son
I'm creeping death


I believe this song can be regarded as a very spiritual song. It talks about past events that were inscribed in the Bible through scriptures and what had actually happened. I believe this song can be spiritual to me because it tells of a story that was from the Bible, and coming from a religion of Christianity, this can be seen as a very spiritual song for a majority of people coming from certain religions

Scriptures in serial numbers

I believe the company Trisicon inscribing scriptures above the serial numbers for the sight of weapons should not be prosecuted, If people take offense to it, they should take care of it themselves and remove the serial numbers. Other soldiers for the military force are going to take assuage to it and would disagree on the behalf of the other soldiers. Its for a persons belief, they should at least have a request put for each soldier to see if he wants the scripture above his sight or not

My oo Moment

My oo moment has struck me over time. Through this quarter learning new things such as Islamic culture and view points on Haiti. I enjoy to learn about new culture and topics and to see other peoples views and opinions. This class is very unique, instead of the tedious over and over classes you probably get, where it feels like you learn the same thing everyday and always go home with work to do. I am glad I took this class, it will be one of the last classes in my High School career that I have enjoyed and is unique in its on way. If it was available earlier, I probably would of taken the class when I was a Junior or Sophomore.
