Crazy to think he would even consider attempting this, but honestly most people would not be surprised.
This was also the first presidential impeachment in which all majority caucus members voted unanimously for impeachment.
I'm sure this will make it to history books.
Trump's second impeachment marked only the fourth impeachment of a president in U.S. history. With ten Republican representatives voting in support,
Again this adds on to the idea that not all republicans on will be on Trumps side.
Nevertheless, a majority of the House of Representatives, including one Republican, passed a resolution urging Pence to either invoke the 25th Amendment or have the House majority impeach Trump.[8]
This goes to show how regardless if someone is on Trumps political stance, they can also acknowledge what is right from wrong and can step out of their comfort zone to do what is best.
The article was introduced with more than 200 co-sponsors.
Not sure what it means by Co-sponsors but I don't think it is good to have that many.

A series of forts and stations was spread out along the major road systems connecting the regions of the Roman world. The relay points or change stations (stationes) provided horses to dispatch riders and (usually) soldiers as well as vehicles for magistrates or officers of the court. The vehicles were called clabulae, but little is known of them. A diploma, or certificate, issued by the emperor himself was necessary to use the services supplied by the cursus publicus. Abuses of the system existed, for governors and minor appointees used the diplomata to give themselves and their families free transport. Forgeries and stolen diplomata were also used. Pliny the Elder and Trajan write about the necessity of those who wish to send things via the imperial post to keep up-to-date licences.[4]

There is also a temple in the middle of the forum to Annona Augusta, the Divinity of Imperial Supplies, or Ceres Augusta.

The Stoics also held that certain destructive emotions resulted from errors of judgment, and they believed people should aim to maintain a will (called prohairesis) that is "in accordance with nature." Because of this, the Stoics thought the best indication of an individual's philosophy was not what a person said but how a person behaved.[2] To live a good life, one had to understand the rules of the natural order since they thought everything was rooted in nature.

The Canon of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church is wider than the canons used by most other Christian churches. There are 81 books in the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible.[88] The Ethiopian Old Testament Canon includes the books found in the Septuagint accepted by other Orthodox Christians, in addition to Enoch and Jubilees which are ancient Jewish books that only survived in Ge'ez but are quoted in the New Testament,[citation needed] also Greek Ezra First and the Apocalypse of Ezra, 3 books of Meqabyan, and Psalm 151 at the end of the Psalter. The three books of Meqabyan are not to be confused with the books of Maccabees. The order of the other books is somewhat different from other groups', as well. The Old Testament follows the Septuagint order for the Minor Prophets rather than the Jewish order.[citation needed] Peshitta
I had no idea about this.
The content of the Protestant Old Testament is the same as the Hebrew Bible canon, with changes in the division and order of books, but the Catholic Old Testament contains additional texts, known as the deuterocanonical books. Protestants recognize 39 books in their Old Testament canon, while Roman Catholic and Eastern Christians recognize 46 books as canonical.[citation needed] Both Catholics and Protestants use the same 27-book New Testament canon.
this is an issue, or debate, I could research adn write about.
Christian systematic theology will typically explore: God (theology proper) the attributes of God the Trinity as espoused by trinitarian Christians revelation biblical hermeneutics – the interpretation of Biblical texts the creation divine providence theodicy – accounting for a benign God's tolerance of evil philosophy hamartiology – the study of sin Christology – the study of the nature and person of Christ pneumatology – the study of the Holy Spirit soteriology – the study of salvation ecclesiology – the study of the Christian church missiology – the study of the Christian message and of missions spirituality and mysticism sacramental theology eschatology – the ultimate destiny of humankind moral theology Christian anthropology the afterlife
Although when I began this assignment I was wanting to do it on Biblical Studies because I thought I would prefer to study that over theology, but these topics all seem so interesting, I am begining to think that theology is the topic I want to study. I will have to do much more research on both of them and the differences between the two to be sure which one I will want to study in the future, but I will just have to pick one for the sake of this project.
Christian theology varies significantly across the main branches of Christian tradition: Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant. Each of those traditions has its own unique approaches to seminaries and ministerial formation.
This could be considered an "issue" among this topic. Although all three branches of Christianity believe in the 66 books of the Bible there is much disagreement about whether aditional deuteronomical (I hope I spelled that right haha), there are many other theological and hermeneutics differences including but not limited to: how an individual is saved (faith alone or faith + works), whether Mary (the mother of Jesus Christ) was sinful or sinless, church leadership and traditions, and more.
help them better understand Christian tenets[2] make comparisons between Christianity and other traditions[3] defend Christianity against objections and criticism facilitate reforms in the Christian church[4] assist in the propagation of Christianity[5] draw on the resources of the Christian tradition to address some present situation or perceived need[6]
Theology is a study very similar to Biblical Studies within colleges and this is why a student may study theology. It is hard for me to think about eventually deciding which of the two I would like to study because although they are similar, there are distinct differences in them as well.
Such study concentrates primarily upon the texts of the Old Testament and of the New Testament, as well as on Christian tradition. Christian theologians use biblical exegesis, rational analysis and argument.
This is answers the main question of this page "What is Christian theology?"

whether the focus is on the Hebrew Bible, the Old Testament,
This is confusing to me because I thought that the Old Testament was just the Hebrew Bible? Am I incorrect or are they just pointing out the difference in that the Hebrew Bible in non-Christian communities is typically still read in its original written language while the Old Testament (and the New Testament as well) have been translated into languages across the world? I am really not sure..
it asks when and where a particular text originated; how, why, by whom, for whom, and in what circumstances it was produced; what influences were at work in its production; what sources were used in its composition; and what message it was intended to convey.
This is so so important to studying and understanding the Bible, even from a non-academic point of view. For example, if a reader did not know that the book of Philippians was written as a letter to the church in the town of Phillipi, by Paul while he was in prison for talking about Jesus, then they would miss one of the key themes of that book: Joy in the midst of trial and persecution, and sharing the Gospel no matter the risk! Context is key in reading any type of literature, and that is true with the Bible as well.
Several academic associations and societies promote research in the field. The largest is the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL) with around 8,500 members in more than 80 countries. It publishes many books and journals in the biblical studies, including its flagship, the Journal of Biblical Literature. SBL hosts one academic conference in North America and another international conference each year, as well as smaller regional meetings. Others include the Evangelical Theological Society, the Institute for Biblical Research, the American Schools of Oriental Research and the Catholic Biblical Association.
I have never heard of any of these but they do sound very interesting, so I will have to look into them.

this is another major I have considered studying, but I think I would prefer to study biblical studies, but they do have a lot in common and I would get a lot of knowledge out of either of them.
Biblical scholars do not necessarily have a faith commitment to the texts they study, but many do.
I do, but it is intersting that some of these scholars don't have the same faith I do, so it will defintely give me a different perspective and background on what I am learning which is always great!
For its theory and methods, the field draws on disciplines ranging from archaeology, ancient history, cultural anthropology, textual criticism, literary criticism, historical backgrounds, mythology, and comparative religion.[1]
This is a big combination of things I am interested in! As someone who has always found much fasination in history and how people live, plus my love for and desire to know more about the Bible, not just what it says but also the context in which it was written, how it has been used, and how it has changed things. Although I don't know my plans for future study, this genuinely sounds like the most interesting and best topic or major I could study!

Nursing care went to the inexperienced as traditional caretakers, rooted in the Roman Catholic Church, were removed from their positions. The nursing profession suffered a major setback for approximately 200 years.

Before the foundation of modern nursing, members of religious orders such as nuns and monks often provided nursing-like care
Interesting!
600 BC in India, it is recorded in Sushruta Samhita, Book 3, Chapter V about the role of the nurse as "the different parts or members of the body as mentioned before including the skin, cannot be correctly described by one who is not well versed in anatomy. Hence, any one desirous of acquiring a thorough knowledge of anatomy should prepare a dead body and carefully, observe, by dissecting it, and examine its different parts."

In contrast, any evidence that directly supports their claims is generally of low quality. For example, conspiracy theories are often dependent on eyewitness testimony, despite its unreliability, while disregarding objective analyses of the evidence.
so there is usually not very much strong evidence to support conspiracy theories.
Conspiracy theory rhetoric exploits several important cognitive biases, including proportionality bias, attribution bias, and confirmation bias.[19]
This bias defintely give oppurtunities for information to be changed or skewed in a way that it is incorrect.
Conspiracy theory conversely posits the existence of secretive coalitions of individuals and speculates on their alleged activities.
Becuase it says here that conspiracy theories are based largely on speculation, which means they likely aren't very accurate or trustworthy.
People who believe in health-related conspiracy theories are less likely to follow medical advice, and more likely to use alternative medicine instead
Interesting!
People formulate conspiracy theories to explain, for example, power relations in social groups and the perceived existence of evil forces
connection to evil?
Similarly, they depict the public as ignorant and powerless against the alleged conspirators, with important aspects of society determined by malevolent forces, a viewpoint which is likely to be disempowering.
Agree with this as they are hoping to "brainwash" people, in a way.
perceived sense of powerlessness, exposure to conspiracy theories immediately suppresses personal feelings of autonomy and control

Conspiracy theories are most likely to inspire violence when they call for urgent action, appeal to prejudices, or demonize and scapegoat enemies.[26]
I never thought of them as having a violent or urgent outcome - so this is an interesting twist.
Health-related conspiracy theories often inspire resistance to water fluoridation, and contributed to the impact of the Lancet MMR autism fraud.[16][23]
Some people truly still believe this today. As a person studying nursing I cannot see the connection they attempt to make
linked to prejudice, witch hunts, wars, and genocides.[
SCARY
Any minor errors in the response are heavily emphasized, while deficiencies in the arguments of other proponents are generally excused.[16]
Thinking back on some conspiracy theories I have heard, I am able to notice that this was noted.
the continued lack of evidence directly supporting conspiracist claims is portrayed as confirming the existence of a conspiracy of silence; the fact that other people haven't found or exposed any conspiracy is taken as evidence that those people are part of the plot, rather than considering that it may be because no conspiracy exists
This makes sense
Conspiracy theories typically justify themselves by focusing on gaps or ambiguities in knowledge, and then arguing that the true explanation for this must be a conspiracy.[
Agree
Belief in conspiracy theories is correlated with anxiety disorders, paranoia, and authoritarian beliefs.[110]
I have never heard of this- I would be interested in doing more research about this.
Such theories tend to get more traction among election losers in society, for example, and the emphasis of conspiracy theories by elites and leaders tends to increase belief among followers who have higher levels of conspiracy thinking.[112]
Something that we can relate to as the U.S recently had a big election.

I feel like there are typically some evidence that is associated with the conspiracy theory, but it is always twisted in a way.

While his original major was in English, Harris became interested in philosophical questions while at Stanford University after an experience with the empathogen–entactogen MDMA (colloquially known as ecstasy).[12][13][14] The experience led him to be interested in the idea that he might be able to achieve spiritual insights without the use of drugs.[15] Leaving Stanford in his second year, a quarter after his psychedelic experience, he visited India and Nepal, where he studied meditation with teachers of Buddhist and Hindu religions,[15][16] including Dilgo Khyentse.[17] Eleven years later, in 1997, he returned to Stanford, completing a B.A. degree in philosophy in 2000.[18][19][20] Harris began writing his first book, The End of Faith, immediately after the September 11 attacks.
