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

Section K1 Beliefs and Values Terminologies Tawhid The oneness of Allah Shirk The sin regarding any thing as the equal or partner of Allah Khalifah Custodian or steward of the world for Allah Adam The first man and the first prophet of Allah Al-Qadar Allah's control of future events Risalah Muslim beliefs about the Prophet of Allah Ibrahim The prophet Abraham who is connected with much of the Hajj Isa The prophet Jesus Tawrat The holy book given by Allah to Musa Zabur The holy book given by Allah to the Prophet Dawood Injil The holy book given by Allah to the prophet Isa Akhirah Muslim belief about life after death Tawhid: Muslim beliefs about Allah Muslims believe that there is only one God, Allah. They believe that God is one, therefore Allah can have no plurals, polytheism is wrong and Christianity is wrong because Jesus was not God's son. Because Allah is one, he must always have been and always will be and he depends on no one but himself. Because Allah is one, the universe he created must be a unity. This is why following the way of Islam makes Muslims a united community (ummah). Surah 112 states, "Say, 'He is God the One and Only, God the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not nor is He begotten; and there is none like unto Him.' This means that Muslims reject the Christian belief in the Trinity and will not allow anything to interfere
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.
Explain the Ontological argument.
Explain the Ontological argument (33) The ontological argument is a 'priori' argument. This means to prove Gods existence through the definition of the word 'God', it is not dependent on proof but if the premise is correct, then so must be the conclusion. Saint Anselm of Canterbury first propagated the argument through a series of works named "Proslogion", which attempted to prove both the nature and existence of God. Anselm defined God as "that which nothing greater can be conceived". According to Anselm even an atheist must have a definition of God, if nothing more than to dismiss his existence. Anselm went on to argue that there are two types of existence, existence in the mind and existence in reality. To exist in reality is far better to exist in the mind, for example the thought of a £1,000 would be nice but it would be better in reality. Therefore God has to exist in both the mind and in reality, because otherwise something greater could exist in reality. Anselm then went on to prove that God is necessary because something exists cannot be argued not to exist and God must be such a thing if he is "that which nothing greater can be conceived." Thus Anselm establishes God, as a being that was necessary existence, whose existence does not rely upon contingent items such as a perfect island. Whereas everything in the world is reliant upon something else, God is not

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
Religious Education Hajj Coursework
Section A: i) What is Hajj? A pilgrimage is a journey to a sacred place. This journey can be physical and emotional, and the Hajj is often both for all concerned. It is also a spiritually powerful journey in search of great religious or moral significance that shows power and faith in the religion the participants follow. Sometimes, as in most religions, it is a journey to a sacred place or shrine that is important to the person or religion. The aim of a pilgrimage is to confirm and place faith in God, and to show you are part of your faith. Muslims show that they are part of the Ummah (The Family Of Islam) by taking this journey. A pilgrimage can also be a journey about repent and forgiveness for a person's actions, and they would take the pilgrimage as a means of saying sorry (repenting) to their God. The Hajj (the pilgrimage to Mecca), for Muslims, is about the submission to Allah, and following the 5 pillars. The whole aim of the pilgrimage is to show your religion and to show your faithfulness and submission to Allah. Among the main themes and messages of Hajj is submission and obedience to Allah. The submission to Allah is so very important because that is what Islam is all about; worshipping and trusting in the one true God: Allah. Therefore, a great deal of respect and hope is placed around the stand before Allah as people from all over he world experience his
