Answer:

<em>I think that Faustus continues to speak of good things even after he has sold himself to evil because he believes that even though his heart has been hardened and he cannot repent there would still be hope and a chance for salvation if he repents according to the A - text.  </em>

<em>I, like some critics who focus on the B - text, believe that Faustus cannot possibly repent and is predestined which basically means that some, like Faustus are destined from day one or from the moment they are born to get in to paradise, whereas everybody else is doomed for all eternity. There’s nothing one could do about it. God’s choice if we are talking about the B - text published 12 years after the A - text.  </em>

Explanation:

<em>In Doctor Faustus by Christopher Marlowe there are actually two different versions of this text- A and B. This summary is going to cover the A- text.  </em>

<em>Doctor Faustus is at home one day bored as and he starts reading a couple of books including logic, medicine, law and realizes that he is bored by these topics. He proceeds to call his servant: ¨Wagner! Get those two magicians, Valdes and Cornelius, because those two probably know a thing or two about some conjuring and spells, do you hear me?”  </em>

<em>A – text was published in 1604 and B – text about 12 years later. Some critics think the A text is messy, repetitive in comparison to B- text. There’s only about a 600-line difference between the two. Critics think this pretty much changes the whole sense of the book.</em>

<em />

<em>The difference between the two being whether Faustus chooses to sell his soul or being tricked into doing it. A key question to ask ourselves is ¨Is someone pulling his strings? ¨ and if so, who? Is it good or evil?...  </em>

<em>Since Faustus chooses evil in text A, most of the suffering he goes through is psychological; so all throughout the play he goes back and forth between evil, the devil or representing good and God’s people.  </em>

<em>I think that Faustus continues to speak of God and good things even after he has sold his soul to the Devil because he believes that even though his heart has been hardened and he cannot repent there would still be hope and a chance for salvation if he repents.  </em>

<em>¨Does this suggest that Faustus could repent and be restored spiritually?¨  </em>

<em>Some critics believe that Faustus cannot possibly repent and is predestined which basically means that some, like Faustus are destined from day one, or from the moment they are born to get in to heaven, whereas everybody else is condemned to hell for all eternity, and this is what B – text makes clear as it focuses more on his suffering. B – text shows that there’s nothing one could do about it. God’s choice.  </em>

Answer:

An hour of physical education should be included in every student's school day because exercise and ground field activities helps in improving the health and mental state of a student.

Explanation:

In today's competitive world, a huge pressure and stress in mainly thrown on the school students especially the young children. Exercise is one of the roles in life that makes any aged person healthy in such case, games and an hour under the sun enhances and relaxes the mind and body of a student mentally and physically. Physical education is not a temporary good health but it keeps a student healthy for a long period of time and therefore  an hour of physical education should be included in student's everyday school life not just for an escape route from pressure but also to take them away from today's technology for quite few minutes.

Answer:

Humanities are the academic disciplines that reflect the different features of a society's culture. Moreover, humanities generally resort to critical or speculative methods instead of using empirical methods as natural sciences do. Besides art, literature and philosophy, the term 'humanities' also includes other disciplines such as religion, history and politics. Famous humanists are Bentham, Comte, Eco and Freud.
