System Examples

Country Wide people feel that they have no connection with what is happening to the person that they are taking everyone thing away from and are getting what they need. When people get what they need they feel no need to really care about other no matter what situation the other person is in. We are selfish type of people and we do whatever the system tells us to do. We abide by the rules and what the authority of the system tells us what to do because it take too much effort in our minds to really do anything effective.

Systems

The thought of having pleasures and a life of prestige fills our mind with this thought of having it all to obtain this feeling. We will do anything that we can to keep this feeling and the life that comes along with it because we are selfish people worry about number 1, ourselves. We don't mean to screw other people over on purpose but to keep and obtain this life style most of the systems have been designed to protect that life style for those that will do anything for it. These systems have been built for the rich, the people with these pleasures, and the people that will do anything to keep and or obtain that life style because everyone wants it but to have it others must be below you because everyone can't live it. Systems have been made to keep the people on the bottom down and the people on the top on top. The system is run by the people on top so of course they will not let the people on the bottom up so they can stay on top. Our society has made it to where if someone comes up another goes down. So the people on top can't let the people on the bottom because they can't all be equal for some reason so if the people on bottom where to come up the people on top would become the bottom which is the poor and hard life that does not involve all those pleasures that make our lives to enjoyable and easy.

Systems are a theory and idea that provide benefits, they have rules, they have authority to enforce these rules, they also provide security, and with the faults in humans ignorance is the fault of the system itself. We can not take the position to blame the people that are in the system because they screw up but blame the system. The system is a theory it isn't real but the idea is what is real. The people part of the system comply with what the system asks them to do. The system sets everyone up to fight against each other to be on the top. The system is what makes people turn on each other because it gives an ultimatum. You can either be high or be low on the system and everyone will choose high. Now of course there are those few that will not comply with the system but for the most part they will. The theory of the system is what people live by and this is why the system is corrupt. It brings out the bad in people and works off of that because there is the need for authority and people fight and push people down to get up to that authoritative position so they themselves will not be the ones to be pushed down.

Unmerciful Servant

The parable that Jesus tells is about all of Jews that beg for forgiveness but betray others when they are the ones that need to give the forgiveness. These people have done horrible things beyond imagine and yet they beg for forgiveness and others forgive them. Once they have been forgiven they ignore the graces that have been given to them and they betray and do not forgive others for the most petty things and you should think of the grace people have given you and be grateful and offer it to others. No one should keep hatred...they should forgive and move on.

The main character is actually the Unmerciful Servant. The idea of the whole story derives from his actions. This story is meant to teach people the need for forgiveness and the amount that you should show. 77 times is just a number to show an infinite number of times that you are to forgive the people that do you wrong. The Unmerciful Servant is this idea of a regular Jew going and betraying the grace that has been given to him and also going against the law of God and betraying a fellow Jew. This servant ignores the great debt that he has been forgiven and does not have to pay any longer and begins to harrass a fellow Jew over a small amount of money and not just asks for the money he chokes the fellow Jew for it. Once he begs for forgiveness just like he himself had done just earlier to get out of a huge debt he calls the soldiers over and has the man thrown in jail until he could pay. This is rediculous since this should have happened to him if anyone.

The master may have been a man of god and knew that he should not oppress his fellow Jew. So after he had acted hastily by saying that his family be sold and their things to pay back the and then the servant told him he would pay the master finally agreed that he did not need the money that bad to ruin a fellow mans life. He cancelled the debt because he knew that he should treat people with forgiveness when asked for it and show like this man did that he would in time pay back the debt but the master was so rich that he cancelled it and lifted a great weight off the servants shoulders.

The servant does not follow the example of the king because when he got away with that he totally forgot about it. He thought ok I got out of this there is no need to lend that same slack to anyone else so I will get mine and get ahead. So he saw who owed him money and basically since things were rought back then he shook him down for the money and since he couldnt pay he wasnt gunna let him get away so he got him thrown in jail until he could pay. Things were tough back then and even though someone gave you slack you tried to get more and didn't give your own slack.

The kingdom of god is a place where God will forgive you no matter what but you too must show the forgiveness that god shows you. You cant take and not give or you will know the suffering that you put others through and sometimes worst. Respect the people around you and you will live a good life. You will be forgiven for a large large amount and you are asked to only forgive for a small amount so at least do that after you are forgiven for something so big and give people a chance like you yourself got and you will be fine. If you don't you will learn your lesson the hard way.

Israel Summary

How does the United States support Israel?

The United States supports Israel more than any other country! This country is fine off by itself because it is not a 3rd world country and can stand on its own two feet. The united states give Israel around 1.3 billion dollars in aid for whatever Israel sees fit to use it for. On top of that we give them around 2billion dollars for military use. We also give other countries money like this but possbily not as much and they can not buy from themselves or someone else. We allow Israel to buy weapons from themselves and from other countries while we let no other country to do that who we lend money to. We also make avaliable to them the most advanced weapons that we have. Maybe not the best and most secret but we provide them with advanced weapons. Israel has also been very contriversal to the world as they discuss in worldly meetings at the United Nations meetings. We defend Israel in what they do while no other country tries and argue against us.

Why is Bush not so involved like Clinton was?

Mainly a fact is that Clinton cared about bringing peace to the middle east while Bush not so much. Bush has gone into a war and although in a war he has been taking oil from the middle east. The United States is using that oil and going on with everyday life. Clinton really wanted to see the middle east have peace and progress while Bush is in it for the economic gain. We just go about our buisness and unlike Clinton who pressed for peace, Bush just walks past and ignores trying to fix things because he thinks it's their country so they should find peace among themselves. This is sorta true but they seem to not be able to do that so we do need to intervene.

What is Bushs' policy in the middle east?

After 9/11 the government tried to end all connection with the middle east government and tried to not be connected to it at all. We went in and invaded. From their we were about getting the oil and going on with out lives. It was fine because we called it the war on terror which allowed us to invade and get the oil. We don't really care about peace we just want the economic gains. The government proposed and idea but it was shot down. Since then nothing has really happened and we have broken many ties with Israel.

Part 3:

Part 3 explains about the state of the Jews and Arabs under Britian. This explains how Jews were not allowed during the holocaust but they tried to get in after WW2 was over. Then Britian gave up Palistine and after that they gave it to the UN who just was made the same year. Then Isralies took over most of the lad and Palistinians left because Jews were taking over the land. Then they said that possibly the Arab government told the Palistines to leave. War broke out and fighting began in the streets.

Part 4:

There was a 6 day war and the united states then came in. Israel was surrounded by Arab states. They were trying to push Israel into the sea. Israel struck first but was defensive. Israel had to prove that they tried everything other than war. Israel attacked egypt from air and on land and egypt was crushed. Israel took over the old city and most religious places. After 6 day war Arab could not seek arratication from map. Both sides claimed the land as their own.

Part 5:

Egypt attacked back because Israel had taken over their land. They find that they just keep attacking back and forth so no one ever always keeps the land. Also the pilistinians were not in this war. Egypt and Israel finally said they needed to make an agreement. This did not please the Arabs so they were mad. Israel would not let the palistinians be in the political. Carter brought them to the white house and they discussed and finally agreed so their would be no more fighting. Palistinians were mad because the egyptians betrayed them and they were not thought about when making this agreement. Palistianians made a huge uprising to get rid of Israel.

Part 6:

Palistinians in west bank and gaza confronted israel with stones and words. Palistinians were asking how long israel would make it so they had no state. Israel kept Jewish taking on palistinians land. Israel army truck ran into Palistinians and killed some palsitinians and this started this uproar. Israel finally thought they should leave the west bank and gaza. Israel and Palistinians brought self government peace treaty called the oslo on the white house lawn. This didn't work because when they thought they got a state they finally understood they did not. Leader assasinated and later another riot broke out 6 years later when they all knew the oslo was not into effect anymore this would be the worst riot ever.

Part 7:

Second intafada came. Raham ashrafi was visited by sharron. Palistinians didnt like this visit and started to attack police. 18% only by Palistinians and rest by israel. Bombs set off to kill oslo promise. Oslo needed to freeze the israli settlements. All presented agreements are not good and neither side will agree. Guirilla attacks keep happening. Arial Sharron launched full scaled israel attack. Neither side will change their views.

Wicked Tenants Parable

I really don't understand the quote inside the parable because I am not used to reading such a out there quote like bible one's but I will do my best to interpret it. Too bad my only idea that I can think for this is sorta aligorizing. I will try and stay away from that sutphin. Ok the stone that the builders rejected would be that teachings of Jesus. I would say jesus but that is aligorizing too much and everything is about Jesus. So jesus' teachings for us to learn from parables is what the people that were of the upper class rejected because it made them look bad and look like down right assholes. This really was meant for those Jews against Jews. So What it is trying to say is that the upper class knows that the poorer people should be treated fairly when that are of the same religion and they know that they have done wrong so they try and forget about it. These teachings that jesus' told us tell us that those are the cornerstones of all of the societies beliefs that they should have. They lost all sense of treating people fairly and people need to finally see that they have oppressed their own people and start to treat each others and people should have what they were fairly given or at least have a fair amount to live off of since there is enough for everyone.
