Nakedness

Nakedness: a symbol of many different things. Through history it has been seen differently, on the Greek society it represented perfectness, that afterwards the same though was reborn during the renaissance. In orthodox and conservative societies it represents, beauty, although one not to share, only when married your couple had the honor of admiring that beauty.
Through the bible nakedness is recurrent, Adam and Eve, Abraham, Noel, ect. All of these characters have been chosen by God for something special, which makes them highly important. Therefore these people appearing naked are a strong symbol. David, the “hero” of the people of Israel, as well appear unconverted, “How glorious was the King of Israel today, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one vain fellow shamelessly uncovered himself!”-Sam.2.6.20. God brought humans uncovered; this is a symbol of purity, of cleanness. Exempting Noel`s nakedness, the rest represent purity, they represent the prototype of a good human, a god`s messenger.
It very interesting that David (when he is king of Israel, on Samuel 2) wasn’t so of a prototype, he committed adultery, assassination, within other violations of the Ten Commandments; he is never punished by God. Although while a person touched the Arch of the Lord and was instantly pulverized.

Judging Harshly

Humans tend to judge harshly. Every one of us may call it differently, but we either judge or categorize each other by their appearance. A first impression may be important, although believing that through a person’s appearance we may decide who he is or how he should be. Terrible wars have happen by the fact that people either generalize a conduct or ideology to a group of people, or consider somebody something by their look. Some may consider these actions as fascist; I share that point of view. We shall mimic Gods decision of, "the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart." -Sam. 1 16.7.
During many wars nationals have to serve their country. The ideology for which they are fighting is irrelevant when choosing who goes to war. I read a autobiography of Nicolas Mosley “Time At War” were he describes all of his experiences in the second world war (he is British), although you can resume the book with a phrase: “The war wasn’t necessary, the only ones who were going win something, were the Americans and Russians.” We will never know if those who fought next to Saul and David against the Philistines shared the idea for which they fought (God in this case).

DNC Acceptance Speach

Ms. Obama is definitely a great orator. His tone and presence are incredible; Barack distributed equally his speech with the various types of rhetoric. The first twenty minutes were used between forensic and demonstrative rhetoric, and the remaining was completely occupied with deliberative .
During the first half the democrat nominee applied allot of ethos, acknowledging McCain’s service to the nation, although criticizing his decisions in congress:
“Now let there be no doubt. The Republican nominee, John McCain, has worn the uniform of our country with bravery and distinction, and for that we owe him our gratitude and respect. And next week, we'll also hear about those occasions when he's broken with his party as evidence that he can deliver the change that we need.But the record's clear: John McCain has voted with George Bush ninety percent of the time. Senator McCain likes to talk about judgment, but really, what does it say about your judgment when you think George Bush has been right more than ninety percent of the time? I don't know about you, but I'm not ready to take a ten percent chance on change.”
During the middle of the speech Obama constantly applied logos. Although there is something to make it clear, democrats and Barack understand his policies as logical ones. When speaking of this topic the democrat used a tone as if he was saying was very logical. How his proposals were viable and positive, and Ms. McCain’s were a simple continuance of George W Bush policies, were invaded with logos:
“Senator McCain… said that the fundamentals of the economy are strong. And when one of his chief advisors - the man who wrote his economic plan - was talking about the anxiety Americans are feeling, he said that we were just suffering from a "mental recession," and that we've become, and I quote, "a nation of whiners."A nation of whiners? Tell that to the proud auto workers at a Michigan plant who, after they found out it was closing, kept showing up every day and working as hard as ever, because they knew there were people who counted on the brakes that they made. Tell that to the military families who shoulder their burdens silently as they watch their loved ones leave for their third or fourth or fifth tour of duty. These are not whiners. They work hard and give back and keep going without complaint. These are the Americans that I know.Now, I don't believe that Senator McCain doesn't care what's going on in the lives of Americans. I just think he doesn't know. Why else would he define middle-class as someone making under five million dollars a year? How else could he propose hundreds of billions in tax breaks for big corporations and oil companies but not one penny of tax relief to more than one hundred million Americans? How else could he offer a health care plan that would actually tax people's benefits, or an education plan that would do nothing to help families pay for college, or a plan that would privatize Social Security and gamble your retirement?It's not because John McCain doesn't care. It's because John McCain doesn't get it.”
There wasn’t presence pathos in the debate.

Human’s And God’s Jealousy

Jealousy is one of the strongest feelings and individual may feel. When you are under its effect you are mad, sad and frustrated. Although a weak and manageable one (very difficult kind of jealousy to experience) may be a positive feeling. When you desire something which another person has, you are challenged and motivated to acquire it. My grandfather always told me “if you want something, work hard for it, and I promise you will achieve your goal” although my grandfather was “paisa”, (which firmly believe that by working hard they will achieve whatever they want; and that’s probably why Antioquia is the richest and most productive region of Colombia) he was giving me a very important message for life.
God experienced this feeling, he felt jealous of the amount of worshipers that admire false idols, "Thou shalt not bow thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me." (Ex. 20.5) I interpret gods “jealousy” as a feeling of protection of humans. He isn’t actually “jealous” of other idols (that don’t exist) but worried that people believe in them. They are ignorant of the holy power, one whose followers are safe and prosperous, thanks to the LORDS protection.

Gods Justice: The Perfect Excuse

Believers are supposed to follow the commandments preached by Jesus. When something happens its attributed to gods will and judge, “And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.” –Exo.13 Line.3. The bad on earth will be judged in heaven. The honest (very difficult to be on earth) will be rewarded in the afterlife. Everyone grows thinking that the fallacies made in earth, if are not judged on earth will be in heaven. All of us are relieved by the fact, although none of us can prove it correct.
God’s justice will be present, but during life his will is in charge. Priests and rabies preach that everything on earth is caused by the holy power: success, failure, death, and life. What molesters me, is the fact that we humans attribute everything to the LORD; we create our own destiny!

Rhetoric In Presidential Debate

The third presidential debate was rich in deliberative and demonstrative rhetoric. The questions made to the candidates, were based on their proposes (which logically will involve lots of deliberative). The only part of the debate were forensic rhetoric was used was when both candidates attacked each other, of their voting statistics in the senate.
The use of rhetoric:

Forensic rhetoric: Sen. Obama accusing his opponent on “being a vigorous supported of President Bush”

Demonstrative rhetoric: Sen. McCain speaking of his negative adds to Ms. Obama.

Deliberative rhetoric: when both senators were presenting and arguing of their environmental policy.

Perseverance

Perseverance is the most important aspect when achieving goals. God asked Moses to liberate the Hebrew people enslaved in Egypt, “Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.” –Exo. 10 verse 10. He was given several proves, he had been selected for the task by god. The prophet had Hebrew origins and was later saved by the daughter of a pharaoh, from which he later escaped. LORD appeared several times to the individual in various forms. He was ordered to present a series of arguments and threats to the pharaoh. The Egyptian king refused the arguments and accepted the consequences he had been advised before. The rod stick becoming into a serpent, the river becoming blood, and the different plagues were indented to hearken the monarchs´ heart, which all failed.
For one to achieve something he must perseverate, all the people who are successful have had to persist in all situations. In countries were employment and education are not developed people had to be persistent so they can feed their children. Every morning a low-class worker has do wake up a the crack of dawn, eat whatever he can afford and head to his job, where he will probably spend lots of hours for a average salary. The people suffering of incurable disease that fight with whatever they can to maintain the hope. It’s that kind people who will finally accomplish something. That will make the step from good to excellent.
Moses holds a very important quality that will permit the liberation of Hebrews. All the plagues, all the argument and all the prove will become something big in the following chapters of the book (book=bible). Every hero has a special quality that not all hold, the prophet holds perseverance.
