The Spirit Of ’98: A Defense Of Civil Or States’ Rights?, William Hopchak
The Spirit Of ’98: A Defense Of Civil Or States’ Rights?, William Hopchak
The Kabod
The Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions of 1798 and the subsequent Virginia Report of 1800 have created a great deal of controversy since their adoption. Passed in response to the recently enacted Alien and Sedition Acts which collectively extended the naturalization period, gave the president power to expel immigrants, and criminalized criticism of the government, the Resolutions and Report denounced the Acts as unconstitutional.
Classical Liberalism, John P. Heaphy
Classical Liberalism, John P. Heaphy
The Kabod
Classical Liberalism is a political philosophy that has stood the test of time. Developed by the English philosopher John Locke, classical liberalism is rooted in the ideals of individual rights and social contract. It is ultimately a Christian philosophy, as it admits the inherent sinfulness of man and the sovereignty of God. The United States of America is the greatest application of this philosophy as it prioritizes the protection of individual liberties and derives its power from the consent of the governed.
Human Language Origins: Icon For Evolution Or A Higher Order?, Dominique Lopiccolo
Human Language Origins: Icon For Evolution Or A Higher Order?, Dominique Lopiccolo
The Kabod
In his text Icons of Evolution, Jonathan Wells endeavors to reveal some of the many discrepancies supported as scientific fact in current evolution literature. His goal, to discredit such falsely contrived theories as Haeckel’s embryos and Darwin’s finches, is successfully managed through the observance of clear, observational evidence. Meanwhile, Wells renders these so-called “icons” of evolution as nothing more than distorted data. The question of human language origins and the evolutionist’s response serves as another icon in the rhetoric of scientific evolution, yet observations pulled from current scientific research appear to disregard this notion altogether and instead, point towards …
The Man Behind The Music: Beethoven’S Critical Early Years, Dominique Lopiccolo
The Man Behind The Music: Beethoven’S Critical Early Years, Dominique Lopiccolo
The Kabod
The early years of Ludwig van Beethoven’s life are not usually emphasized as much as his later days writing symphonies, but they were critical in his development towards musical virtuosity. In fact, it was those years growing up under an unstable household with an alcoholic musician for a father that led Beethoven to form his characteristically dynamic mannerisms, which, in turn, revolutionized his musical career. His early years can be traced according to the various developments made in his musical education. Initially taught by his tyrannical father, Ludwig underwent physical abuse in order to learn correct fingerings and scales. Although …
Covenant, Kingship, Grace, Sacrifice, And Prophetism In The Old Testament, Rickie S. Scott
Covenant, Kingship, Grace, Sacrifice, And Prophetism In The Old Testament, Rickie S. Scott
The Kabod
This essay examines the major themes of covenant, kingship, grace, sacrifice, and prophetism that reoccur throughout the Old Testament and contribute to a proper understanding of the ancient biblical text. Through covenant, God reveals his divine nature and relates to his people. Through kingship, God reveals his plan for Israel. Through grace, God loves his chosen people and shows them mercy, and through sacrifice, God cleanses and sanctifies the Israelites. Finally, through prophetism, God discloses his divine calling for the Israelites. Each of these themes exposes God’s self-revelation and contributes to an enhanced understanding of the Old Testament.
Genre-Savvy Sonnets: Shakespeare’S Subversion Of Problematic Conventions Of Courtly Love, Kelly Kramer
Genre-Savvy Sonnets: Shakespeare’S Subversion Of Problematic Conventions Of Courtly Love, Kelly Kramer
The Kabod
In an analysis of Shakespeare's 130th Sonnet, Kramer finds that the Bard champions a better way to love rather than the idealization of another that is the convention of courtly love. Actually knowing and loving someone's flaws and oddities is more constructive and enduring in contrast to the courtly love tradition which Shakespeare implies is harmful and misleading in its teaching to value the wrong thing in another.
The Five Main Themes Of The Old Testament, Laura E. Mumme
The Five Main Themes Of The Old Testament, Laura E. Mumme
The Kabod
Definition and history of the Old Testament themes of covenant, kingship, grace, sacrifice, and prophetism.
A Comparative Analysis On The Skill Acquisition Of Music And Language, Dominique Lopiccolo
A Comparative Analysis On The Skill Acquisition Of Music And Language, Dominique Lopiccolo
The Kabod
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate some of the shared cognitive processes, which seem to underlie both the acquisition of music and language. Since linguists have separated language acquisition studies into one of two major categories, that is, child versus second language acquisition, the following comparative study will predominantly focus on the similarities found between second language acquisition and music acquisition. This is due in large part to the fact that our current understanding of how child language acquisition works is still in its primitive stages, and it most likely follows a more intuitivist paradigm. Second language acquisition, …
Brotherly Love In Twelfth Night, Sara Heist
Brotherly Love In Twelfth Night, Sara Heist
The Kabod
Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night draws an intriguing contrast between brotherly love and romantic love. Through the relationships of Sebastian-Antonio and Viola-Orsino, the playwright illustrates these two types of love in the lives these characters, showing that the two distinct types of love may conflict or harmonize, depending on the situation. An analysis of these two relationships provides insight into the tension between the two types of love in the play. The comparison of the motives, characteristics, expectations, and transience of the four characters’ amicable relationships illustrates the benefits and shortcomings of amity.
The Crisis Of Self-Understanding In Dostoevsky, Joshua Miller
The Crisis Of Self-Understanding In Dostoevsky, Joshua Miller
The Kabod
This paper seeks to explain the characterization of Raskolnikov in Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. It makes the argument that Raskolnikov exemplifies the inexhaustible depth of the human consciousness, the quest for self-understanding, and the radical schism of the psyche which Dostoevsky wrote about in other works such as Notes From Underground. Contrasting Crime and Punishment with Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, this paper concludes that Conrad's main character Marlow loses himself in the schism and that Raskolnikov finds peace through confession and repentance.
Gustavo GutiéRrez – Liberation Theology & Marxism, Todd Cameron Swathwood Jr
Gustavo GutiéRrez – Liberation Theology & Marxism, Todd Cameron Swathwood Jr
The Kabod
Since 1968, liberation theology has emerged as a prominent feature of religion and politics, particularly in South America. Originally stemming from the writings of Peruvian priest Gustavo Gutiérrez, this at-once theological and overtly political ideology decries the institutionalized violence of the world’s capitalist society on the poor and oppressed, and argues that God is particularly concerned with the plight of the suffering masses. Christians should therefore make assistance of these poor souls their highest priority, and advocate for any and all methods of alleviating suffering, especially those that work from the premise that society must be toppled and rebuilt for …
Scriptural Roots Grow Strong, Jaymee L. Wagner
Scriptural Roots Grow Strong, Jaymee L. Wagner
The Kabod
This article looks at five areas where Scriptural truth shines through in Louisa May Alcott's Little Women.
All Shall Fade: Homer's Foreshadowing Of The End Of The Heroic Age In The Iliad, Sabrina Hardy
All Shall Fade: Homer's Foreshadowing Of The End Of The Heroic Age In The Iliad, Sabrina Hardy
The Kabod
Homer's epic poems are filled with demi-gods and great heroes. However, in The Iliad, Homer undermines the triumph of these heroes by foreshadowing the end of their age and the forthcoming time of mortals. This essay examines how Achilleus' shield, Nestor's longevity, Paris' effeminate nature, and Odysseus' reliance on craftiness rather than physical prowess all indicate the rapid advance of the age of mortal men.
Altered Perspective, Jaymee L. Wagner
Altered Perspective, Jaymee L. Wagner
The Kabod
This paper analyzes Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations by discussing how and why Pip’s perspective on social classes and individual morality changes as a result of the various characters and events he encounters throughout the novel.
Under The Influence, Seth Rosamilia
Under The Influence, Seth Rosamilia
The Kabod
This is a true story about a ruffed grouse that became drunk on fermented berries and then ended his life by flying under the influence into a window. The author thinks that humans ought to have more intelligence than a grouse about drinking and driving.
