Declarations of Independence!

He made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. What this really mean is that the king is taking it upon hisself to appoint members of the court who had the same opinions of him, controling their pay roll, and therefore corrupting the sytem of England. This is an example of rationalist thought because the king is using his reason and judgement to rule England in his favor. He does not rely on God to pick his officers or help him rule.

He has kept among us in times of peace standing armies without the consent of out legislatures. He's keeping armies around England when there's no war going on, without getting permission from the legislatures. He's again is taking it upon hisself to protect England using his own judgement rather than relying on faith to protect his country. This is rationalism because he is reasoning that incase their is a war he will have taking the necessary steps to fight his enemies.

He has dissolved representative houses repeatly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the right of the people. He invaded people rights, he wanted things to be done his way and he determined what the right of the people were. This is an example of rationalism because he don't need God's help to rule the people. The king decides what his people rights are without the help of God. As king, he takes on the position of God, forcing his people to live to his standards and rules. He determines the rights and wrongs that his people must follow, rather than a higher being.

Rationalism is the belief that human beings can arrive at truth by using reason, rather than by relying on the authority of the past, on religious faith, or on intuition.

These thirteen virtues will help me reach moral perfection in that they exemplify the qualities I need to succeed in life and be a good person. Power, i think is because i can control myself and do what ever i feel without anyone tell me what i should do. Inorder to succeed in something, i have to work very hard at it. If you dont love yourself, how could you possibly love anyone else. Money takes you where you need to go and get you what ever you might need, and money can also get you in trouble if you don't use it the right way. Sleep, get well rested so you will not be tired all the time and be more interjected. I like to repect people because i want to earn respect. My life, it's hard to trust anyone because people you think wouldn't turn on you, in up being the main one's.

Dome cosmetologists work part-time combining their jobs with family or other responsibilities. Everyday cosmetologists are exposed to chemicals to be used in hairstyling and nail care. Other may do their services at their home. Some use their knowledge to become sales representatives for beauty product, selling for also companies, or demonstrate and sell cosmetics, and skin care products in large department stores like Sally by Kroger on the eastside.

Now that I have researched all of the information about becoming a cosmetologist, I still feel that I want to become one; I feel this way because, I love working with people hair and making them look beautiful.

Writing One

The name of the book is “Chasing Destiny”. The book is based on different things like love, cheat, self-respect, trusting your partner, and violence. One person in the book uses the most violence.
There is a young girl by the name Destiny that is going through a lot with her parents. Her parents are suppose to be getting a divorce and it is tearing her up inside. Destiny let her parent’s relationship get the best of her which brought out all the evil in her.
One night Destiny snuck out of her grandparent’s house late at night to go hang with some guys she had met at the mall. When they came and got her, two other girls were in the car and one was talking bad about her. “I will beat a girls butt if she even looks at my man, let alone to step to him. I don’t play that mess,” the Chinese/Black said. That’s when Destiny beat that girl bad. She hit the Chinese/Black girl with her pocket book, which had a brick in it. Instead of Destiny fighting that girl, she should have just walked away and let the girl keep talking. Another thing she should have just stayed home like she was supposed to, then she wouldn’t have had that problem to deal with in the first place.
They left the Chinese/Black girls and went to a hotel. While at the hotel, they gave her something to drink and she passed out. She woke up the next day and saw things she didn’t want to see. Multiple boys were in the room and they raped Destiny. They left her there with no way to get home. She left the room hurting and the memories of what she had seen on the floor kept coming back to her; she was scared to go home. Her violence really started once she had left the hotel room. She was ready to take out revenge on everyone.
Destiny found the main people that she knew that had hurt her. She threw Clorox in one girls face. She found D’ Andre and shot him in the lower part of his body, causing him to go to the hospital. Since her mother had put in her head that Billie was trying to get their money, when she really wasn’t; she tried to kill her baby, Destiny’s father’s baby. She gave Billie some pills that would abort her child. Then Destiny found out the truth about Billie not wanting their money and old Billie about the pills, even though Billie really didn’t take them.
They was Destiny acted was very violent. I wouldn’t think a girl would let her parent’s situation bring her down to do a lot of horrible things. Destiny should have been strong and not let her actions get the best of her. It was wrong for the people she was with that night to have treated her like that, but to me she brought that on herself because she shouldn’t have left her grandparents house. What she did to Billie was also wrong she know she couldn’t have believed anything her mother says about someone who likes Destiny father. Destiny killed an innocent child that could have been her brother or sister, all because of stress and all the things that happened to her.
“Chasing Destiny”, you will understand all the violence it has in it. Destiny isn’t the only one in this book that dealt with violence; she is the person I chose to write about because I feel that she did the worst violence anyone else could have done in this book. She was fifteen going sixteen. I feel that she could have dealt with the situation at hand because she was old enough to understand that her parent’s weren’t happy anymore. I guess parent’s getting a divorce can bring a lot of kid grief.

Rationalist and Puritans!

Rationalist didn’t think God was the blame of everything, but the puritans thought he was. The puritans believed that everyone is born sinners. The puritans thought God chose those who he wanted to go to heaven. Everyone else would go to hell. Rationalist thought that human society was ran by natural law.

In order to correct their sins the puritans pray to god. Their only effort to fixs their moral corruption is by depending on god and not their actual selfs.
Ben Fanklin as a rationalist, took it upon hisself to come up with 13 virtues inorder to fixs moral corruptions. He takes up his only responsibilities coming up with his own morals instead of going by God. He tries to set goals for hisself. He is a good example of an rationalist.
The puritans are more about faith and rationalist is more about science and their own way of living, through the cause and the effect of their own actions. They know what is expected of them and they came up with their own way of fixing their morals without the help of God. Ben Franklin knew the difference of right and wrong, however he could not understand why he was still doing the wrong things. This is why he created the 13 virtures, setting an example for society to follow.
