Explain what divine simplicity is.

The book is called “The Essential Summa Theologiae” by Frederick Bauerschmidt.
This is just a rough draft. The first page should be titled “Exposition”. Explain what divine simplicity is. For example for someone who has no idea what divine simplicity is, they could fully understand it from the first page.
The second page should be titled “Evaluation”. Here you come up with counter arguments to Aquinas. For example god is love and god is wise. How can he be both at the same time?

Should People Be Required to Obtain a License Before Becoming Parents?

Reading Assignment with Persuasive Essay Prompt
Should People Be Required to Obtain a License Before Becoming Parents?
By Bobbi Leder, OpEd News, September 7, 2009
We have to obtain a license before getting married and driving a motor vehicle, yet we aren’t required to get a license to become parents. How does that make sense when raising a human being should be the most important job in the world? It seems that having children isn’t always a decision that is well thought out, and in some cases it just happens by accident. Some people choose to bring life into the world knowing full well they are not capable of taking care of that life – I guess they assume the government, teachers, or family will pitch in and do their job for them.
Of course, there are extremely responsible and loving parents out there, and there are people who would make wonderful parents, but for reasons beyond their control, they won’t ever achieve that goal. But I’m talking about people who have children and raise them irresponsibly, which inevitably affects not only society, but scars those children for life.
I know only a few people who have had children for the right reasons; I also know a few who have had children to save their marriage – which is a horrible burden to place on a child. I’m sick of watching the news and learning about people abusing their kids, neglecting them, and leaving them in cars (during the sweltering heat) with the windows rolled up. I just don’t understand why these people have children. Having a child is a gift, and parents should treat their children as such. Raising a human takes patience, love, education, compassion, sympathy, and time. If you don’t have the time or the desire to spend your weekends reading to your child, teaching them how to ride a bike, going to the zoo, cleaning up dirty hands, or helping with homework, then don’t do it.
There are so many unwanted, neglected and abused children and it saddens me that they were brought into the world by irresponsible people. Often these children grow up with low self esteem and wind up falling into a life of crime. I know there are also children who go through adversity and wind up better human beings for it; they go on to become psychologists, teachers, and social workers. They go into politics to help change the world, and they become successful in whatever field they choose – but that is not the norm. Go into any inner city where kids are growing up with one parent who they rarely see and another one who left years ago and never contacts the kids – see how successful those children become when they turn into adults. Chances are they will just repeat the cycle and wind up becoming what they loathe most: their own parents.
Why is it that when we adopt, we have to go though strict tests to make sure we are going to be fit parents, yet when it’s a biological child no tests are required? The government should make sure that people have the resources, the knowledge, the proper housing (one where there is no mold), and the time to take care of children before being allowed to become parents. Shouldn’t a license to become a parent be just as important as a license to drive a car?

What attitudes and social practices of both the Irish and the English does Swift condemn?

– A modest Proposal by Jonathan Smith (https://www.gutenberg.org/files/1080/1080-h/1080-h.htm)
1. What warrant (Links to an external site.) about the treatment of the Irish people is suggested by Swift’s proposal? Consider the metaphors “just dropped from its dam” (paragraph 4) and “whose wives are breeders” (paragraph 6).
2. The author Swift assumes a persona in this satire. He pretends to be a different person in order to make his point. What are the characteristics of his persona? Where in the essay does he reveal them?
3. There are places in the satire where the author Swift reveals his true feelings. Where do you see that he does this? What true feelings does he reveal?
4. In the satire Swift relies on lists of facts, or statistical evidence. Do these facts help persuade the reader?
5. What attitudes and social practices of both the Irish and the English does Swift condemn?
6. All satires have embedded in them a real solution, which Professor Crane calls the “kernel of truth”. In “A Modest Proposal”, the satirical solution is harvesting babies. What is the real solution that Swift endorses? Where did you find it? How can you tell it’s real. (Hint: This question connects with question 3.) Does Swift think his real proposal will be embraced by his peers?
7. Many of Swift’s peers took this satire literally and were enraged. Why do you think they failed to recognize the satire and irony?

How do women grapple with the ideals of American womanhood?

PROMPT: The experience of women who immigrate to the United States is in no way universal. The reasons for leaving, the families left behind–each individual has a unique story. Yet Ko asks us to examine how the role of gender in the context of immigration surrounds/impacts the agency of the immigrants who leave their homes for a new American life. How do women grapple with the ideals of American womanhood? How do they exert their power and their voice as both women and foreigners? Note: I currently have a thesis [attatched below], but if you feel like there is a better argument to be maid, then do whatever you think is best! “Through the protagonsit Polly Guo, Lisa Ko explores how gender and immigrant status restrict the mobility of minority peoples and leads them to the same outcome: restlessness.” – Body Paragraph One: how gender and immigrant status restrict Polly in China – Body Paragraph Two: how gender and immigrant status and gender restrict Polly in the US – How the limitations of gender and immigrant status ultimately lead to restlessness (not feeling settled) *the thesis has to be clear, specific, and argumentative*
