Is God Still Relevant Today?
Many people have wondered whether God is relevant today. Additionally, there is a common belief that the whole idea of God was created by the early man to seek for answers to events that occurred in his life.   The current technological advancement has been seen to bring answers to what puzzled   the early man. For this reason, it is fair for those who think that God was created by the early man is no longer relevant.
 On the other hand, there are people throughout the history who have written questioning the whole idea of the presences as well as the relevance of God. Some literature such as, ‘Gay Science’ and ‘Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance’ have also written about this topic.   Civil Society Groups such as TED have also written to contribute to this topic using well refined information regarding global statistics.
 In ‘Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance’, the Author(Pirsing) talks about the term quality and insist how a person’s perception is important to improving his quality of life. He gives a good example by using ability to master his old motorcycle and fix it well whenever a need arises.  He asserts that it is important to achieve quality, a statement that is right. He points out the flaws that exist in the current definition of the term ‘quality’ and suggest that there must be an expectation when the term is applied.
This suggests that there is a higher conviction that humans need to continuously improve. For instance, some parts of the world say the US, Japan and Europe are well developed. Despite this, their governments and the people are continuously seeking a higher degree of refinement that is beyond early human comprehension. If God was only relevant to give answers to the unfortunate events of the past, these people would now relax as they are free of those challenges but instead, the concept of higher power brings some quest for more refinement.
 ‘Gay reasoning’ on the other hand has many poems that seems question to the general norms system in Europe. Some of the poems suggest that the concept of love was brought about by gay people. Another poem suggests that God is dead and likens this to Buddha who died and people immortalized his burial place. Another poem likens the continuous search of God by humans to a mad man’s pursuit of murderess of God.
 The author has given many suggestions that God is not relevant but he has given no evidence that he is actually not.  However, standards such as International Human Rights Declaration among others go beyond every individual. Such ideologies point to direct relevance of God in the current generation,  as the governments are the standards of law and order in the current generation, there is a standard of higher quality such as human rights, international co-existences and other qualities or refinement that today’s advanced world aspire to.
            TED on the other hand brings around a more empirical reasoning with data and statistics.  The movement contributes more to the discourse by bringing facts concerning world civilization, health among others.   Consider a world where societies are developed and have all their generation requires and still gets a need to boost the living standards of the humanity by availing resources and information to the less privileged.  This is the relevance of God in the modern society.The subject, character and all representations of God represents the epitome of refinement for humanity which all people aspire or should aspire to attain.
However, these ‘experts’ inspire more thinking about the whole topic of God and his relevance. Whether the early mans discovery or ‘creation of God’ is true or not, people today experience the influence of God through the action of others. The Concept of God has inspired many movements whose results has been the betterment of people’s lives still in this technological age. An example is the Civil rights movements of the 1960s in the US.

A drunken ride, a tragic aftermath

A drunken ride, a tragic aftermath Introduction Ignorance has been castigated as the precipitate of drunk-driving demises. Driving while drunk has long been one of the major causes of road accidents and death related incidents with the young population engendering a large proportion of that. However, activists and crusaders have administered seminars, public campaigns, and advertisements against driving while intoxicated. Notwithstanding the efforts inaugurated by the government, activists, and parents, the youth have persistently indulged in this immoral behavior. Ranging from egotism and the thrill of adventure many theories have been put in place to explain the phenomenon. Nonetheless, the government has the greatest role in curbing the predicament by regulating alcohol prices and taxes, drunk-driving detection and interlock devices, and strict penalization of offenders. Altering alcohol taxes and prices The approach is by far the most effective strategy in controlling t...

Early childhood psychosocial development Psychology

The minor theories of development disagree about the origins of gender roles and stereotypes. Two of the theories (psychoanalytic and epigenetic) emphasize the power of genetic and biological forces on development. The remaining three theories (behaviorism, cognitive theory, and sociocultural theory) emphasize the pervasive influence of family and culture in children's learning of gender patterns. In this exercise evaluate the evidence relative to the following question: Is gender development the result of biological forces or cultural learning? First decide whether each of the three research findings listed below more directly provides evidence in support of the biological argument or the culture-learning argument, and explain your reasoning. Then, use the same research to develop a counterargument that supports the other side of the controversy. Provide the counterargument as responses to your classmates posts. 1. There are more male than female engineer...
