Raven's Song: an Original MusicalTarleton, Angela Brannon 05 1900 (has links)
Raven's Song is an original musical dramatizing the conflict between paganism and Christianity. The play revolves around a woman who has become disillusioned by her people and her gods. The only gods she has ever known were blood-thirsty, appeased only by the blood and entrails of human sacrifice. Therefore, Raven resists all religion. Through providential circumstances, she is married into a Christian family and is overwhelmed by their love, and the kindness of their God. In search for truth, Raven begins to question her disbelief. All men search for truth in their own way, and all, at one time, will question the existence and nature of God. The play does not presume to answer these questions, but allows each participant to decide for himself, as Raven must decide for herself.

Previous issue date: 2011-08-24 / Esta tese objetiva investigar as muitas manifestações religiosas do personagem-narrador
Riobaldo, no romance Grande Sertão: Veredas, de João Guimarães Rosa, e sua “inusitada” religiosidade. O foco central da pesquisa é a análise psicorreligiosa dos conteúdos presentes nas falas deste protagonista e, de alguns episódios simbólicos da narrativa. As investigações visam compreender as dúvidas e inquietações, que sempre perpassam o pensamento deste sujeito, considerado o representante universal do “homem humano”. Pressupostos teóricos psicanalíticos de Freud, Lacan, Ana-Maria Rizzuto e alguns seguidores respaldam a prática terapêutica do narrador no contar sobre sua vida. Já velho e, descansando em sua rede, ele precisa falar para se entender, superar suas dificuldades e “atravessar os fantasmas” de sua existência. Sua religiosidade, assim como sua psique, e as formas de compreensão do mundo são tão multifacetadas, que nenhuma religião lhe satisfaz completamente. Mas é através do amor e da reza, que ele busca compreender a realidade, pois considera a religião como “coisa do coração” e a condição de ser solitário e impotente é que o faz crer em Deus. / The present thesis aims to investigate the many religious manifestations shown by the
character-narrator Riobaldo, as well as his “unusual” religious views, in the novel The Devil to Pay in the Backlands, by João Guimarães Rosa. The research focuses on a psycho-religious analysis of the protagonist’s lines and of some symbolic episodes of the narrative. The investigations intend to comprehend the doubts and unrests that are always in this subject’s thoughts, considering the universal representative of the “human man”. The psychoanalytical theoretical grounds of Freud, Lacan, Ana-Maria Rizzuto as well as some of their followers support the narrator’s therapeutical practice of narrating his life. Already as an elderly and resting in his hammock, he needs to talk as a way of understanding himself, overcoming his difficulties and “crossing the ghosts” of his existence. His religious views, just like his psyche, and the forms of understanding the world have many sides, which no religion can fully satisfy. But it is through love and prayer that he tries to comprehend reality, for he considers religion as a “thing of the heart”, and his lonely and powerless condition is what makes him believe in God.

Euthanasia : A study of its origin, forms and aspectsRockman, Priscilla January 2012 (has links)
The death-and-dying debates, especially where they focus on euthanasia is now a global debated issue and this act (euthanasia) is now practiced in a lot of countries worldwide despite some countries have not legalized it. Some religious groups and individuals are in line with the arguments for euthanasia because it provides a way to relieve extreme pain, provides a way of relief when a person’s quality of life is low and it frees up medical funds to help other people while on the other hand, other religious groups and individual base their arguments against euthanasia because such act and practice devalues human life, and because there is a "slippery slope’ effect that has occurred where euthanasia has been first been legalized for only the terminally ill and later laws are changed to allow it for other people or to be done non-voluntarily. A current debated issue is whether effective palliative care laws are changed to allow it for other people or to b e done non-voluntarily. A current debated issue is whether effective palliative care can have an influence over people’s choices towards euthanasia.
