Indira Gandhi, Empress Myeongseong, and Queen Hatshepsut
Indira Gandhi, Empress Myeongseong, and Queen Hatshepsut represent three female iconic figures in different societies at unique historical times. Indira Gandhi, as one of the most influential women, through the role she played in her attempts to transform the political and social situation in the Indian society. Queen Hatshepsut is one of the female pharaohs who managed to rule the country of Egypt at the expense of male counterparts in the society. In the Egyptian history, she is the most remembered female pharaoh following her qualities during her era. Empress Myeongseong is an iconic figure in the history of Japan. She is considered an iron woman in the ancient Japan based on her tough moves whenever her rule was threatened.
Differences in the way Indira, Myeongseong, and Hatshepsut ran their societies
The three iconic females in unique societies differ in the capacities they served during their era in their ancient societies. Indira Gandhi in the Indian history used the party formula to impose her authority on the society. During her era, she joined congress party in order to champion for the rights of the less unfortunate members in the society. Because of lack of clear vision in the fight for social and economic justice within the society, she decided to follow her dreams by forming another party as split from the original congress party.
Through this party, she served her society as a prime minister. Hatshepsut in Egypt adopted a different scenario in her role as a leader in the ancient society. She served as a pharaoh in the land of Egypt. She used divine powers to rise to the throne, which she held until her fateful disappearance from the society. Myeongseong served the Japanese society as a queen unlike the other two female icons from India and Egypt. In the presence of men and women, in the ancient Japanese society, Myeongseong represented her country in all matters from the political to social relations as a queen

Hatshepsut in her method to impose authority over the ancient Egyptian subjects adopted manly qualities such as male physicality, growing of beards and men dress code. Her behavior was also man like in order to exert her authority over both male and female members of the society. This supplemented her tough rule of law she applied without consideration one's social, economic or political background. Indira and Myeongseong in ancient Indian and Japanese societies respectively did not apply any manly behavior or characteristics in their service to the society.
In her rule of the ancient Japanese society, Myeongseong adopted alliances in order to suppress rebellions in her society. This is noted by the alliances formed by the Russian society in order to prevent the fall of her society from within. Hatshepsut and Indira majorly used the society resources in order to suppress their respective uprisings. They adopted personal and societal measures to deal with problems that faced their societies during their reigns.
Similarities on the way Indira, Myeongseong, and Hatshepsut used to rule their societies
Indira, Myeongseong, and Hatshepsut applied iron-faced system of the ruling during the eras in the Indian, Japanese, and Egyptian, ancient societies respectively. The women are considered no-nonsense women due to their dictatorial and radical system of administration as a way of imposing their authority on their respective subjects. In her role as the leader of India, Indira Gandhi led her country into wars against Pakistan.
Her radical nature is based on the radical changes she brought to the agricultural sector in the Indian society. Hatshepsut also in her reign of the ancient Egyptian society led her community into wars with bordering communities as a show of her war leadership abilities. Empress Myeongseong led her troops against any rebellious group that advocated for the expansion of the Japanese territory across the international borders, hence considered as an obstacle to the expansion of the society in which she was the leader.

Again, his initial attempt in forming this belief was to limit the role that man would play in determining the salvation of believers. It was important for him that the Sacrament only be received in faith of God and not through the grace of man, as it were. This is a chief distinction between Lutherans and Methodists; the latter regard the Holy Communion as symbolic of God's grace. Therefore,
" Owen maintains that it is not important that people engage in the particular actions Jesus engaged in, like washing another's feet, but instead that people strive to express their moral duty of brotherly love, in condescension and mutual helpfulness. The fourteenth question posed by Owen is, "May not the church find out, and appoint to be observed, such religious rites as being adjoined unto the celebration of God's instituted worship,
Rick Cole of Capital Christian believes that the door cannot stay closed forever, and feels that by offering different services based on music preference is an opportunity for the entire congregation to unite (Garza). Contemporary worship music began with the Jesus movement of the early 1970's and the rise of charismatic churches, and although it paralleled the growth in contemporary Christian rock and pop music, it remained separate until a
Worship is universal. It allows people of various races and ethnicities, backgrounds to come together and pray. However every church and every religion have their key differences. Even in the Christian religion, there are variations existent all throughout Christianity. Some differences are small, while others are fundamental.
