Many of us say that we have faith, but when the chips are really down, the sky is most dark, and all seems hopeless, … I mean really hopeless … do we really? I didn’t, and it was a terrible mistake. I hope you will think about my comments here, and if you have young children, raise appropriate points with them as they are growing up.
Part of my talk about drugs, “The Dangers of Drugs – what YOU Should Know” touches on this topic, but I have decided to write this short essay solely on this subject. My hope is that it will reinforce YOUR faith.

Although I had the world’s best parent’s (by any definition), a great education, wonderful teachers and mentors, grew up in the church, was an acolyte, and thought I had faith, until age 44 nobody had ever prepared me a for an unexpected calamity. I certainly never expected any super serious problem. I had been successful in everything I did, blessed with much success in business and law, and simply was not prepared when disaster struck. My parents and others had always told me to do my best, expect the best, and all that sort of thing.

Nobody warned me that some unexpected, undreamed of, very sad, negative development might come along. I’m not talking about the sudden loss of a loved one in a car accident; we all understand that this sort of thing might happen. I’m talking about situations which we never thought might happen, and when they did our first thought might have been that all is lost, that there is no hope.

Answer:

Explanation:

Faith is important because it sets a certain amount of morals for us as humans to follow. When thinking about it, most religions have something that is similar between them and something that is different, most of the time the thing that is similar to that in which we all believe in a higher power. All throughout history, religion has set standards for us to follow. Without religion, I feel the world would be left in despair into some would- be life-threatening as it gives us a reason to live our lives and follow the basic principles that allow us to strive to become better people in this world of chaos.

Religion sets us up to succeed in following the basic principles of life by adjusting the way we live our lives. Without religion would we have been as advanced in society as we are today? Society strives off of accomplishing new advancements and new findings every day and allows us to correct the error found in our everyday lives. It is a well-known fact that no one is perfect and knowing that ahead of time allows us to be set for much more success than those who choose to ignore it. The overall concept of religion is, in theory, smart and allows for everyone to expand their views and even if there isn't some unknown power, or God, or whatever fits each individual religion, it helps us when it comes to funerals and other traumatic life-changing experiences. Without religion what would we do when a loved one died or we witnessed something bad? That is the power behind religion, it unites us all in our differences and gives each individual a reason to live and do good in the world.

what impact did christopher columbus and his men have once they came to the americas? i need help with an essay so a longish ans
damaskus [11]

Answer:

  Mestizos, encomienda, and the Columbian trade: Europeans, Africans, and the peoples of the Americas all felt the effects of Columbus's discovery. When Columbus stepped ashore, he merged and clashed with two distinct ecosystems. This experience with Columbian trading lasted for centuries after 1492. Thousands of Aztec Indians perished.

  The population of Taino Indigenous people in Hispaniola decreased from a million to a few hundred within fifty years after the advent of the Spanish. The "heathen lands" of the Americas were divided by the Treaty of Tordesillas, which united Spain and Portugal. Native Americans might be "committed" or given to select colonists in exchange for a pledge to attempt to convert them to Christianity.

  Mestizos have developed their own unique cultural identity over the last several centuries. To this day, Mexico's people are torn between pride and ambivalence about their country's unique fusion of the Old and the New Worlds. Columbus' landing in the Americas had a wide range of effects. To name a few: the Columbian Exchange, the Encomienda System, the Mestizo Culture, the Destruction of the Aztec Empire, and many more. Plants, animals, microorganisms, and humans were all transported over the Atlantic as part of the Columbian Exchange.

  Now Columbus landed, two ecosystems clashed, sparking the Columbian trade. Encomienda permitted the government to give her Native Americans to specific colonists in exchange for their efforts to convert them to Christianity. More than death and conquest, the Spanish brought mestizos into being. They brought fruits, livestock, their culture, and religion, and so forth... As a result, Columbus' presence in the Americas had both beneficial and detrimental repercussions.
