A husbands and wife with their children 2. The group that someone grows up in. 3. Basic social unit. 4. Biologically related group. 5. The group in which most humans spend a lot of time 6. Base for care for its dependants. There are two types of family – the nuclear family and the extended family. The nuclear family is the on most often shown in media today. This is where a husband and wife live alone with their children, without any close relatives living in their household. In the extended family, there are several generations of the family living together. This is not so prevalent in Britain but is still common in other countries and societies. Every family is different but most do the same things. They provide certain economic rights and responsibilities; teaches us an acceptable way to behave, and the customs and traditions of our society; family also allows wealth and property to be passed on to a new generation. Christianity believes that there is a need for mutual respect and tolerance in the family and that there are 3 main elements necessary and essential for
My hypothesis: Euthanasia should be legalized in the UK.I am going to answer a hypothesis to do with Euthanasia based on my collection of primary and secondary information.
Teacher: Mr Sulley My hypothesis: Euthanasia should be legalized in the UK. Throughout the investigation I am going to answer a hypothesis to do with Euthanasia based on my collection of primary and secondary information. A moral issue is a difference or conflict of opinion over a difference in beliefs, which usually involve a specific kind of experience1, i.e., an act which affect other people. These conflicts usually happen between religions, political parties, and countries, the holders of these beliefs are usually willing to act upon these beliefs. Moral issues are very controversial; the main reason for this is that there are many different opinions on them, and most of these opinions are very strong and the person who has the opinion would usually be willing to act on that opinion. At the moment Euthanasia is illegal in the UK; as it is in other European countries apart from the Netherlands. This is a map of the state at which countries are with Euthanasia: The hypothesis that I have chosen to investigate is: Euthanasia should be legalized in the UK. I have chosen this as my hypothesis because I believe it is an important statement and one that should be looked into in more detail. My key questions will help me to investigate my hypothesis and find out whether it is true or false. My key questions are: . What are the arguments for and against Euthanasia? 2.
This story centers on the controversy of abortion in an ambiguous writing style by Ernest Hemingway.
This story centers on the controversy of abortion in an ambiguous writing style by Ernest Hemingway. First of all, the perspective is not third person omnipresent. The author could not describe the characters' thoughts. Most of the information in the story was relayed through the dialogue. The characters' would say little things that would give away hints about their relationship. The man was pointed out as an experienced mature male figure ,he discussed an abortion that he wanted the girl to have after a train ride. He kept trying to reassure her, that it was just "letting a little air in" and it was perfectly simple. The man's discussion was simply to say for himself that he would not have any responsibility for her. He felt very distant from her and the world. He reassured her that things would be like they were "in old times." His point of view was that it was good to get past the "trouble" he and the girl caused. The girl in the story was labeled as a girl, which is interesting to note because the bar-worker was labeled as a woman. The impression that is given is that she is an immature character. Her point of view is that she will do what it takes to please the man. She is nervous but is in denial; she tries to reassure herself. She feels the man's distance from her and tries to draw him back in to her world. The setting was very important in "Hills like White

Discuss the merits of theories of secularisation with regard to religion in modern Britain
Discuss the merits of theories of secularisation with regard to religion in modern Britain INTRODUCTION The Aim of this Study Pack is provide an understanding of: . The question of whether or not secularisation is taking place / has taken place in modern, industrialised, societies. The Objectives of this Study Pack are to provide an understanding of: . The way in which the concept of secularisation can be operationalised through the use of three main indicators: a. Religious practice. b. Religious organisation. c. Religious belief. 2. Problems of definition associated with the concept of secularisation. 3. The reliability and validity of statistics relating to religious practice in Britain. 4. The relative level of influence exercised by the Church in "secular" societies Define what Secularisation is: The concept of secularisation is not, as we will see, a particularly easy one to come to terms with in relation to religious activity in any given society. To be sure it is a reasonably simple concept to describe, since it merely relates to the process whereby "religious activity" in any society progressively declines over time. For example, as the arch proponent of the secularisation thesis, Bryan Wilson, defines it ("Religion in Secular Society", 1966), secularisation is: "The process whereby religious thinking, practices and institutions lose their

The charaters in "Hills Like White Elephants," "Daisy Miller," and "Babylon Revisited" all communniacte with one another in very diffrent ways. The way the Daisy spoke to Winterborne, is diffrent from the way that The man spoke to Jig. The were many other ways in which the people in these stories communicated besdies speaking. Their emotions and feelings were expressed by the things they did, just as much as what they said. This is eveident in the way that Mrs Miller (Daisys mother) treated Winterbourne when they met, "she gave him no greeting-she certinaly was not looking at him"(297). The characters in these stories are complicated people, and they communicate mostly in complicated ways. "Hills Like White Elephants" is a very short story, but has just as much meaning as any short story that I have read. The man and the woman are at a train station haveing a altercation about weather or not she should get a abortion. She does not want to. It is ovious in the things she says to the man. She says "I dont't care about me. And then I'll do it and everything will be fine"(1). She is saying that she only cares about him, and dose not care about herself. If she did care about herself, then she definatly would not get a abortion. She can not just tell him straight out that she wants to have this baby. The woman is so in love with the man, that she is willing to take the
Domestic violence.
9699964 Introduction One in four women are victims of domestic violence, at some point in their life with violence escalating during pregnancy. This clearly makes the subject a health care issue for all health care professionals including midwives and the women in their care (DOH 2000). However, the subject can be undervalued, particularly with reference to antenatal screening, and the support of women thereafter as some midwives believe that this subject is not their business (Bewley & Gibb 2001). Midwives may question whether it is considered to be part of their role to intervene, or whether their role is simply to continue to support women through the medical and physical processes of childbirth. This negative attitude may be directly resultant of a dichotomy between theory and practice. This may occur as a result of lack of education within this area and supports the value of evidence based practice. The purpose of this in depth study is to examine the position of midwives in screening for domestic violence and supporting sufferers of domestic violence. Where midwives are now and what they need to know and do in order to move forward will also be considered. Firstly the author considers it appropriate to include a historical background relating to the subject of domestic violence. A problem statement will also be included. Current research relating to the
Citizenship Coursework
My Group For my citizenship coursework, I will be working with Muhammad Hayyat Khan and Ahmed Mamman because all three of us have been good friends for a long time. In addition, we get on together extremely well and never have problems deciding things between us. Both of my colleagues have had very good previous academic years and therefore together we should be able to come up with some really high-quality ideas of what possible things we can do for our coursework. I know by working with my two friends that I will surely decide on a good coursework project to do. Another advantage point is that we meet quite often outside of school so doing the coursework out of school would not be much of a problem. Advantages for working together include that we equally share the responsibility and each contribute to the work so it is not too hard. Furthermore if we have three people we will get three different ideas instead of one this also proves as a very big advantage as will be able to choose from a variety and pick the one idea which suits us the best. Also on the day of the activity, we will be able to spread out responsibilities so that the activity goes according to plan and smoothly so that there is no major problems. As if one person had to buy the sweets, write the names of contestants down, and deal with the money, it would be very hard instead; we could split the workload
Poverty and Wealth: a Christian Perspective.
POVERTY AND WEALTH: A CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE By William O. Ondari University of Eastern Africa, Baraton, Eldoret, Kenya INTRODUCTION Poverty and human deprivation have been recognized as the most central challenges to the development of human society ever since the dawn of history. Alongside them is the issue of wealth, its creation, possession, distribution and our attitude towards it. Poverty is considered a major constraint to any form of development of human beings. The ways and means of eradicating it are now intensely studied and researched in several academic disciplines like economics, politics, history, sociology, religion, theology, ethics and even law. Tremendous amounts of resources and time have been spent on this problem by both governmental and non-governmental organizations and institutions for several generations. Yet today (2001), there are more human beings suffering chronic deprivation than ever in history. Recent estimates show that nearly half the world's population, about three billion people, live on less than two dollars a day. Most of these are destitute, trapped in absolute poverty. All over the world, disparities between the rich and the poor even in the wealthiest of nations are rising sharply. Fewer people are becoming increasingly "successful" and "wealthy" while a disproportionately large population is becoming even poorer. Ironically,
What is meant by euthanasia?
Euthanasia Title 6 - Paper 2 a) i) What is meant by euthanasia? ii) Explain what Christian teachings might be used in a discussion about euthanasia? b) Explain how Christians may respond to the question of euthanasia? c) Is euthanasia every justified? Give reasons to support your answer and show that you have thought about different points of view. What is euthanasia? People have different ideas, concepts and understandings of the word euthanasia. These must be carefully clarified. The Oxford Dictionary defines euthanasia as the following : ' The act of causing somebody to die gently and without pain, especially when they are suffering from a painful, incurable disease.' ( from Greek eu = well/good and thanatos = death ) So euthanasia means literally a good death. Some people call euthanasia 'mercy killing'. I agree with the definition given in the dictionary, I think it clearly stresses the fact that the aim of euthanasia is to give as less stress and suffering as possible to the patient. However, it does not mention the fact that can be quite an unpleasant and horrible act when the person being killed did not agree to it. There are basically two different types of euthanasia : * Active : Voluntary, Involuntary, Compulsory * Passive Active euthanasia is when you play a part in helping a person to die. ' It is referred to the
