This would add to the belief that the race or gender of the person did not matter. Instead, it was their character that was the most important. This would build upon these changing views, to create a different way of looking at other social groups.

Rationality, on the other hand, is based on reason and typically requires tangible
But it was not like that from the beginning." The Reformed Theology looks at marriage and divorce from the standpoint of being covenantal. They quote the Bible as saying in Malachi 2:14, "…because you have broken faith with her, though she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant" (Fielding, 2010). Fielding goes on to say, "In the Old Testament, "divorce" was carried out by a literal physical execution of
Treatment of Cancer Cultural and Ethnical Related Beliefs in the Treatment of Cancer Healthcare disparities among cultural or ethnic lines have been shown to not be as totally unbalanced burdens from disease, disability or death.
