Thy anger had overshadowed me, and I knew it not. I was become deaf by the rattling of the chins of my mortality, the punishment for my soul's pride; and I wandered farther from Thee, and Thou didst "suffer" me; and I was tossed to and fro, and wasted
Augustine's reflections in this passage brought into fore the fact that rebellion against the divine authority was, for him, through the accomplishment of what he considered as 'immoral actions.' Thus, the "dark concupiscence of the flesh" and "pure affection from unholy desire" characterized his rebellion, where he continued committing these undesirable acts despite his knowledge that they were against the standard of morality or what is considered wrong, not only in his society, but in the eyes of God as well. Augustine's personal narrative showed that rebellion against divine authority happened when he was not able to conform with society and the Church's standards of living a 'moral life' -- that is, life lived according to the Church's standards and principles. In effect, Augustine's direct divine authority was the Church, though he was referring to God in his writings.
A similar depiction was evident in Milton's "Paradise Lost," most especially when he re-created his interpretation of Eve's 'rebellion' against God, when she succumbed to the temptation and her want to become as powerful as or more powerful than...
Rebellion was not only evident in Eve's character, but in the Serpent's characterization as well, whose desire to challenge God's authority was reflected in his desire for humanity to commit the original sin against God. Milton described the Serpent's rebellion by characterizing him as an immoral creature, qualities that were considered undesirable by Milton's society and the Church: "...the evil one stood abstracted from his own evil, and for a time remained entranced, disarmed of enmity, of guile, hate, envy, or revenge. But the hot hell that always in him burns...Fierce hate regrew and returned all thoughts of mischief, to destroy all pleasure save that which is had in destroying."
Milton's depiction of the theme showed that rebellion against divine authority was the commitment of a life led and motivated by "guile, hate, envy, or revenge." His depiction of this kind of immorality stemmed from the fact that humanity had committed its first sin based on these evil characteristics, hence Milton considered it the foremost of all immoral acts. In effect, feelings of guile, hate, envy, or revenge were considered as immoral by Milton, thereby making an individual who feels these as rebelling against the divine authority, God.
John Steinbeck, why soldiers won't talk. "Why soldiers won't talk:" John Steinbeck's imaginative essay on the psychological impact of war One of the most interesting aspects of John Steinbeck's essay "Why Soldiers Won't Talk" is the way in which he subtly shifts from the first person to the second person in the essay. He begins the essay stating that he himself is not a soldier: "During the years between the last war and
These group standards differed from society to society, but every social construct had them - including large societies such as countries all the way down to small societies such as family units. The idea behind the group standards was that rules were created that belonged to a group, and people who wanted to be part of that group and be accepted by that group had to follow those rules. Otherwise,
This led to the rise in monetarism and the tax cuts promoted by President Reagan, the fiscal conservatism of the Volker-Greenspan Federal Reserve System, and the economic prosperity of the 1980s and 1990s (Ross, 1998). Currently, monetarism and the importance of monetary policy in determining economic growth and stability are widely accepted. However, it is important to note that Friedman himself has cautioned against assigning to monetary policy a larger
This is obviously an escape in her dream from the societal norms and from the strict rules that are imposed in the garden and that govern her existence, as well as her role in this environment. Being able to escape them, even with help from Satan, is possible in Eve's dream. Eve's road towards independence grows with each book in "Paradise Lost," some pointing out to the way her autonomy becomes
