I personally believe that Habermas is trying something quite idealistic: conciliate the principles of liberal democracy, such as the state neutrality regarding beliefs and deliberation using arguments accessible, understandable and acceptable by all the citizens, with religious principles, not only considering them legitimate but at the same time indispensable for a democratic coexistence. I do not disagree with a pre-disposition to listen to each other and be open to see the potential truth-content, translatable to values of public reason, such as solidarity or the respect to certain human rights. When Habermas indicates that if the State obliged the believers to argue “like if God did not exist” it would involve a huge renounce for them and inexistent …show more content…
What is the point of allowing the introduction of certain arguments in the political sphere when they have no prospective to inform the law? I am certainly afraid that one day the Parliament will become as, said before, a battlefield for the religions and eventually one religion will rule the Modern States and oppress others’ beliefs. In my opinion, a essential pre-condition of the democratic State is remaining apart from religious influences, and must limit itself to guarantee the freedom of religion of the citizens. In the terrain of the public opinion this matter changes, and as well when it comes to elections. The citizens, when casting votes, obviously can choose parties that support to their religious beliefs without justifying why, as other citizens vote for parties just because they sympathize with the ideology of certain parties without having even read the programme for that legislature. But, as said in the text, they must understand that within the institutions, the only admissible values are to be justified under the light of the constitutional
I have selected Apple as the company that I will be following financially for the duration of Accounting 561. Not only am I a passionate Apple user, I also believe in how the company develops, creates, and markets their product lines for consumer use. They have created products that are so complex at their core with an extremely simple user experience, which has been nothing short of remarkable to watch from the time I was a child through adulthood. I look forward to studying the company and their financials further as we dive deeper into Accounting 561.
Transformative learning is basically changing the way one thinks, feels, acts, and sees life now, as opposed to the past. It can have a small or huge impact on the way they see different aspects of their life. The four stages of the transformative learning process are: Recognizing a specific problem – this is when one would decide if there is a need for change. They would recognize that there is a problem and specifically what it is. Confronting the problem intensely – They would then avoid apprehension and immediately confront the problem, while remembering to consider all possible solutions.
Due to the increase in racial and ethnic diversity in the United Sates there is a great need to provide counseling interventions that cater for social issues that are attributed to the racial and ethnic diversity. Presently, efforts are being made to implement social justice advocacy strategies and interventions into counseling practices. Thus, counselors are encouraged to be agents and advocates for social justice, oppression, and discrimination (Ratts & Hutchins, 2009). At the forefront of social justice counseling approaches, is the need to empower the oppressed or marginalized individual by confronting injustices and inequalities that affect the individual at the systemic level (Pedersen, Lonner, Draguns, Trimble, & Rio, 2015).
The staff will be trained appropriately to fit their role in the program. The staff has a goal of being an effective staff in which they want to provide the best care for the suffering inmates. The top three health officials beginning with the psychiatrist, will be required to attend multiple mental health seminars in order to be an effective program. The staff will base their training off of moral standards such as the four basic rules by Suresh Bada Math which are “1. Protect, promote and endorse human rights of the prisoners. 2.

Pay special attention to the vulnerable
Before Humanities 210, how would you have described the philosophies/religions that influenced your processes for decision making, thinking, and developing preferences? How would you describe your level of conscious choice of and commitment to these philosophies/religions? What helped form or develop the belief in that philosophy/religion?
Goodwill’s mission is to promote equality and fairness for people with disabilities as well as the disadvantaged. They achieve their helping goals through retail sales and through successful programs like CEO. They are funded from retail sales from their thousands of retail outlets and the money from each store stays locally to help in that particular community. Services offered by Goodwill Industries vary from area to area and the particular needs in that area. They take part in everything from a gift shop in an airport, to manufacturing clothing for the US military; whatever the do there are always meeting or exceeding the goals set. “The services provided by Goodwill Industries of Forth Worth are a fraction of what we have to offer nationwide. Goodwill Industries of South Florida manufactures 1,400 pairs of camouflage pants daily for the Marine Corps and the U.S. Army, and is the sole supplier of garrison caps to the U.S. Air Force” (Grandy, 2000, p. 46).

In this activity we were given three separate tasks based on one theme. The first activity we were given was to form five questions that we could ask a specific person that we knew. The questions had to be based on a journey that a specific person has either been on or had been taken part in. Once we had formed these questions our second task we had to complete was to interview the specific person that you based your questions on. We had to ask the questions that we created to them and then we had to record their answers. Our third and final activity we had to complete was to turn the interview and answers that we were given into a story based on our subjects journey. We had to change the interview into a story which meant that we had to change the interview into past tense. We also had to put the interview together into sentences rather than questions and answers.
Right from the beginning of this course I had a terrible feeling that I was not going to learn what I had to or finish it with a good grade. It all began when I found out that I had to be in contact with an administrator in order to obtain the data needed to complete the final project. Dirksen (2014) wrote that one should never give up, even when everything seems against you. That is exactly what I did. I tried and fortunately, I was able to find help, gain a lot of knowledge from the material I had to read, good advices from my assistant principal, and learn how analyze school data in detail and put together a Data-Driven Decision Making Team together (3D). Also, and probably the most important, I learned to think more like a leader than a teacher.

In conclusion, the two speakers have common feelings and morals that have changed as they have aged. The granddaughter who once was her grandmother's secured possession and learned about the faith that her grandmother had taught her changed when she got into the real world. Likewise, the son who never realized that his father worked hard to provide his family comfort changed him as he became more mature, this leads him to realize that he made a mistake by not thanking his father. Overall both of the speaker's morals and feelings change as they grow up and realize the change they are going through and the regrets both have from not being able to tell their loved ones of what they have learned.
Wolterstorff believes that the people should use their most amount of freedom that they have. However, he does believe that no one should minimize their freedom to make another person maximizes more their freedom. In other words, Wolterstorff says, “Let citizens use whatever reason they find appropriate” (112). Remembering that his or her reasoning must come from both his or her religion. Therefore, in a reasonable debate about religion there must be three restraints according to Wolterstorff. The three restraints are how to discuss; bind to the rules, and the ultimate political goal is justice. These three restraints are for the citizen of a liberal democracy.
We are not speaking here of the secularist idea that the state should marginalize religion and discourage people from voting their consciences as Christians. We are talking about the idea that church and state are not the same thing and that they have different spheres of activity.
