2)      Background knowledge on Feinberg
   a)      Grew up in Brockton Massachusetts
   b)      Graduated from N.Y.U.’s Law school
   c)      Gained fame by settling the Agent Orange Case
   d)      Known to be effective and abrasive

3)      Truth behind the V.C.F.
   a)      Feinberg claims to receive no pay for his work, but he does.
   b)      VCF was created to protect the airlines from victims.
   c)      Families who accept payment can not sue the airlines, the Port Authority, or any other
      domestic entity.

4)      Distribution of money
   a)      According to Feinberg’s figures, a widow of a forty-year-old man who was making
      20,000 dollars a year with two dependent children receives the least amount of
      compensation.
   b)      Feinberg claims Congress told him to distribute the awards according to the economic
      loss suffered by each family.
   c)      When confronted by victims who are entitled to millions of dollars in compensation,
      Feinberg gives them a figure that is far less than what they are entitled to. Feinberg
      contradicts himself and states the law gives him discretion to do what ever he wants.

 Economic injustice is apparent in the handling of the V.F.C.  Feinberg should be honest with the
victims and come up with a systematic method of distributing money based on need.

The social responsibilities of business in a free enterprise system
    - Provide employment
    - Eliminate discrimination
    - Reduce pollution

A corporation is an artificial person with artificial responsibilities.
A corporate executive is an employee of the owners of the business, therefore, his responsibility is to
conduct the business in accordance with the owners desires.
An executive may have other responsibilities that he assumes voluntarily-(may include)
    - His conscience
    - Charity
    - His church
    - His clubs
    - His city
    - His country

If he regards these as social responsibilities, he is acting as a principal, spending his own money.
Should he act on the social responsibilities of employment; discrimination; and pollution, he is taxing the
owners, stock-holders, customers, and employees of the         business.
Taxes are governmental - "Taxation without representation"
The one responsibility of a business is to act in its own self-interest to increase its profits.

1) Ruth was a Moabitess..
 a) Moabitess were a race that didn’t worship God.
2) Faithfulness
 a) Ruth’s life was guided by faithfulness toward God and it showed itself in loyalty toward the people she knew. She was loyal to the laws that where set for women in that culture and time period. Showing her obedience to God.
3) Prosperity and Blessing.
 a) Ruth and Naomi came to Bethlehem as poor widows, but they soon became prosperous through Ruth’s marriage to Boaz. Ruth became the great-grandmother of King David. Yet the greatest blessing was not the money, the marriage, or the child; it was the love and respect they gained.

 Conclusion: Ruth was a woman and belonged to a race that was often despised by Israel, she was blessed because of her faithfulness. She was the great-grandmother of David and a direct ancestor of Jesus. No one should feel disqualified to serve God because of race, sex, or national background. God can use every circumstance to build His Kingdom.

"Justice in Gender" deals mostly with the empowerment of women, but there are cases that deal
with the equality of both sexes as well.  For instance:

1) Kahn V Shevin: USSCT upheld a tax exemption for widows that was not available to widowers
because "there can be no dispute that financial difficulties concerning the lone woman exceed
those facing the man."

Women are treated as though they must be spared from hearing certain things in court:

2) Bailey V State: ...Criminal Court trials involve testimony of the foulest kind...use of filthy,
loathsome words, references to intimate sex relationships, and elements that would prove
embarassing and degrading to a lady.

The bottom line: there is always a miniority.  It is always the interest of the weaker party to be
empowered and recognized as equal.

We are separate, but are we really equal???
NO!!! Just as blacks were oppressed as slaves by whites, woman have been in a sense
"oppressed" as well by men and their societal roles of wife, mother, homemaker, etc.  Because of
our experiences both as members of a race and gender, we have not all been given equal
opportunity:
(i.e. segregation of African Americans meant that most were not able to receive proper educations,
which led to inability to provide for the next generation,thus starting the cycle over again...; women
hold roles as mothers and homemakers, which leads to stereotypes and thoughts of what a woman
"should" do.)  Races are different because of cultural differences and varying experiences, while
men and women are just "wired" differently.  This has been a hindrance to the success of women in
the workplace, but this is quickly changing.

Today's solutions:
1) Racial Profiling among colleges and universities.  For instance, a white student with an SAT
score of 1400 as compared to a latino/hispanic/black student with the same score and credentials
is likely to be denied admission if there were only one opening.  The reasoning is to provide
diversity, as well as opportunity for the race in the long-term within the workplace.
2) Many businesses hold quotas for a certain percentage of women employed in relation to the
percentage on men employed.

a. ‘position of’
b. Misrepresentation Through Literature
c. Absence of References into Women’s Daily Lives

a. Shakespeare’s Sister Judith
b. Genius of Women
c. Hindered Women

a. Hardships of Male Writers
b. Hardships of Female Writers
c. Opinions of Important People

Ellis Cose, Stirrings of Discontent (1995)
by Keshia Belle, 2004 I. Men Feel Powerless
   A. Men feel in whatever they do they are the victims.
        1. The white American male feels he is a prime target for male-bashing feminists,
            “diversity” trainers, and equal opportunity.
        2. Some married men feel they are trapped between work and their families. Do men
            consider the fact that working women are also trapped between work and their
            families?
        3. If they are divorced fathers they are worried about being lousy dads. Don’t
            single moms have to worry about being a good mother and father?
II. Men’s power over Women
    A. Do American men have more privileges than American women?
        1. Psychologists Judith Sherven states that “the mythology still among women today
            is that men have all the power; and if you’re male, you must have all the power.”
        2. According to some men they feel a tremendous pressure “to have a certain
            sort of status and maintain it. And no matter what anybody says they feel
            responsible.”
        3. Sneiechowski, founder of the Menswork Center in LA, says he has come across
            many men who feel distressed about everyday life. One of the men he
            encountered stated “…They care about all these disadvantaged people but they
            don’t care about me.
       4. Are American men feeling neglected because now all the attention is not on them?
      5. Is it fair for a man to be told “given your qualifications you Could just waltz into
          the job, but we have decided we really want to hire a woman?”
No, it is not for a man to be rejected from a job because of his gender, but times have changed, and women and minorities
want a piece of the pie also. Things are not the same as they were 20 and 30 years ago therefore, in order to achieve equal
opportunity among everyone the most powerful group then can not have as much power now.

The lecture and service we had at the Temple was definitely a new experience.  I found it quite
interesting because I have never been in a service like that. Here are a few things I found interesting.
·        The Torah was kept in the Ark of the Covenant and a little hand on the end of a stick was
used to pin point the chosen scripture.

·        The service was totally different than what I am used to.  There was song after song and the
people that were of the congregation would repeat stuff after each thing the Rabbi would say.

·        Overall it was a learning experience and I was glad that I went because I did not know
anything about that religion, but in a way a learned a little about it.

-Theology is faith in search of reason.
I like this one because I have never really thought about why theology was really made for
us. I know its sad. So I looked up the definition of the world theology. "The science which
studies God and all that relates to Him."Than I remember  a verse in the Holy Bible that
reads, "Let a man regard us in this manner, as servants of Christ, and stewards of the
mysteries of God.(1 Corinthians 4:1,Italics mine). We, as Christians, are like theologians
in a sense because we are looking for the mysteries of God's plan.

Second one that the Rabbi said was, "God has limited His power to grant us freedom."

-And that just hit me because His power is so great and His glory is so awesome that it
can knock my socks off. So He limits His power so I can get close to Him.

All in All the Temple was great,
Richard Cash (Ricky)

·        The first part of the 31st Book of Proverbs deals with the wise teachings that King Lemuel
received from his mother.

·        V. 3-7    Promiscuity (sexual immorality) and drunkenness can cloud the mind and lead to
injustice and poor decisions, when practiced by leaders.

·        V. 8-9    Talks about how leaders should seek justice and speak for the people who have
no voice.  And also defend those who cannot defend themselves.

·        V. 10-31 Proverbs has a lot to say about women.  The woman in this passage has strong
character, great wisdom, and many skills.

·        V. 10-31 The woman represented in Proverbs 31 is a far cry from the picture society paints
of a “Biblical Woman.”  She is not a servant or of less worth than her male counterpart.  Rather,
she embodies great qualities:  hard work, respect, compassion, wisdom, and fear of God which
leads to joy, success, honor, and worthiness.

1)Canaan was a well know culture for sexual immorality.

2) Incest
 a) Marrying relatives was prohibited by God for physical, social, and moral reason. Children born to near relatives have many health problems.

3) Homosexual.
 a) Pretty self-explanatory and what the law says. It is a abomination to God’s law.

4) Bestiality.
 a) Having sex with animals. These practices where common in heathen religions and cultures.

Conclusion: Again the book of Leviticus is full of laws. After reading the ones in this chapter we can see why God dealt harshly with those who began to follow them. Such practices lead to disease, deformity, and death. Society today takes some of these practices lightly and tries to make them acceptable. But still sin in God’s eyes. God is the inventor of sex. He designed every sensation associated with intercourse as a gift which HE desires us to enjoy after marriage with the woman or man He chooses for you. But a pleasurable sensation is never and ends in itself. Food have flavor, but the function of food is to fuel life. If we are making these sins acceptable, we are not trying to understand the heart of God.

1) Sin of Corinth
 A) Fornication :is a sin against a man’s self. By falling into this a person has reduced themselves into animals.
  1) Incest
  2)Homosexuality

 B) Greed: is a sin against our neighbors.
 C) Idolaters: is a sin against God.

 Explanation: God tells us not to tolerate unashamed sin because leaving that sin will have a dangerous influence on other believers.
 Conclusion: That is why Paul says to “deliver such a one to Satan” means to exclude him from the fellowship of believers. Without the spiritual support of Christians, this person would be left alone with Satan and his sins, and perhaps would drive them to repentance. Just as a parent or leader does to one who is acting up.  Paul seems to be very mean in this chapter, but it is because of the greater good. He is using hard love, just as Jesus teaches in Matthew 18: 15-17 the church has to disciple. Just as your parents did. Paul loved the community of Corinth he didn’t want to see it go down like some other cities in the past

Greek Homosexuality:  In Greek society, it was a common practice for older men to have a sexual
relationship with younger men as along as they constrained their emotions.  Plato and Socrates
supported homosexual attractions as along as they were not taken to the physical climax.  However,
before Plato died he stated that humans should not participate in homosexual behavior because
animals do not participate in homosexual behavior.

Christian Tradition:  The Bible clearly states in Leviticus 18 verse 22 that it is an abomination to lie
with a man as a woman.  Furthermore, in the New Testament Paul condemns homosexual behavior
and all other sexual immorality.  St. Augustine also spoke out against homosexuality by saying one
can commit sins such as lying to avoid homosexual advances.  Thomas Aquinas believed humans
should follow natural law and that homosexuality violated natural law because it did not lead to
children.  He believed homosexuality should be doubly condemned because it is in conflict with the
natural pattern of sexuality for the benefit of the species.

Modern Ethical Philosophies:  Kant said sex in which one person uses another person as an object
instead of an end to bring about the fulfillment of sexual desires is wrong.  He said there are two
kinds of abuses of one’s sexuality.  The first act goes against the moral code established by humans.
( example adultery) The second act goes against our animal nature.  (example homosexuality).

Bentham argued that homosexuality was acceptable for anyone who wanted to indulge.  He said there
is no possibility that homosexual behavior may influence other people.

Is Homosexual Behavior Biologically Unnatural:  Plato and Christian philosophers said that
animals do not participate in homosexual behavior so it is unnatural.  The argument occurs that
animals do participate in homosexual behavior.  Another argument for homosexuality is we should
not base our sexual emotions on animal standards.

Homosexuality and the Modern Philosophers:  The author states that there is no reason why
homosexuals should reach out in a loving and giving relationship any less than heterosexuals do.  He
believes if a homosexual relationship would satisfy a person more, then, he or she should pursue a
homosexual relationship.

Sexual Perversion:  In this section the question what is it about homosexuality that brings forth so
many negative judgments is asked.  The answer to this is homosexuality is seen as a perversion.
Based on her criterion, Sara Ruddick sees homosexuality as a perversion, but states perverted sex
acts are preferable to natural ones if the later are less pleasurable or less complete.  The author states
perversion involves breaking an aesthetic rule not a moral one.  To the author, a perversion is going
against anything a culture sees as desirable.  He also says in the argument neither side is completely
right about homosexuality being right or wrong.

I must say that after reading this article I completely disagree with the author.  There are a couple of
questions I have to ask.  What is a perversion in the eyes of God?  God is a sinless God who cannot
tolerate any form of sin.  Therefore, I believe all sin is a perversion which means homosexuality is a
perversion.  Another question I must ask is which side is right or wrong.  The Bible is the infallible
word of God, and it quite plainly states homosexuality is a sin.  Regardless of whether homosexuality
is genetic, it is wrong.  People cannot pick and choose which parts of the Bible to believe.  God says
it is wrong, and I believe He is the ultimate authority

LeVay stated that although his studies lead people to believe that people such as himself who were gay at birth that is not what his studies meant. Yet LeVay pointed out some research done by a team headed up by Dean Hamer that found an X chromosome that may turn out to carry a gay gene.

LeVay is proud to say that his research has done some good to helping families understand the lives that some of their gay children may lead. He has received numerous letters and reports from gay people and their families telling him how their research has helped them. LeVay hopes that his research will lead to more discoveries and eventually help gay people around the world to fit into the community and the society in which they live.

But LeVay also worries about his work being misused. The misuses that he fears would be include discriminatory employment tests and fetal tests followed by abortions of potentially gay children.

After LeVay’s study was published he decided to open a school. He helped found the West Hollywood Institute of Gay & Lesbian Education. He said that he felt that gay people weren’t learning as much about being gay in school as he thought they should.

A. In the early twentieth century, there were many topics being discussed among American Christians, such as civil rights, the Holocaust, etc.

B. Since many of these topics are now resolved, we have turned our sights to a more current topic, homosexuality.

II. The General Argument is that The Bible condemns homosexuality. Homosexuality is therefore an abomination to God, and the homosexual is a sinner. We must therefore condemn homosexuality to remain pure to the scripture. If the Bible expresses prejudice, then it certainly would not be wrong to act on that prejudice, right?

III. What The Bible says about homosexuality

A. How much does The Bible say about homosexuality? Not a lot, actually. The Bible seems to be more concerned with things such as bestiality, incest, etc.

B. It is very possible that The Bible is not condemning homosexuality, but is just making it “part of the story”.

C. Bible verses that mention homosexuality are: Genesis 1-2 The Creation Story, Genesis 19:1-9 – Sodom and Gomorrah with parallel passages to Judges 19 and Ezekiel 16: 46-56, Romans 1: 26-27, I Timothy 1-10, and I Corinthians 6:9.

D. The word, homosexual is an invention of the late 19th century, there are no words
In any of the languages in which ancient bibles were written, that are equivalent to homosexual. The only one that is close is “sodomita”, which is derived from Sodom and Gomorrah. However, sodomita has been applied to heterosexual adultery, bestiality, and incest far more than homosexuality.

IV. Peter Gomes’s responses to some of the verses.

A. Genesis: He explains that Genesis was written to explain where we came from, And the answer is from the union of man and woman. The Bible does not attempt to explain relationships. It does not say anything about friendships, the state of being single, etc.
B. Leviticus: God gave to the Jews the land of the Canaanites. This was written in Bible because it would help the people to fill the land.

C. Sodom and Gomorrah: He states that the homosexuality was not why God was about destroy Sodom. The homosexual rape just happened to be in there. The city was to be destroyed regardless of whether or not that happened.

D. Saint Paul: He states that Saint Paul is not writing about homosexuality in the that most people understand it today, but rather he is writing about the fallen nature and corrupted will of mankind. When the will of mankind is allowed to corrupt, he sins. It is this corruption which Paul speaks out against.

    In verses 8-14 it kinda changes from Submission to Authorities to Loveing your fellow men. In
verse 9 it reads some of the Commandments "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not
steal," "Do not covet," and the rest of the commandments. Then in verse 11 it sais And do this,
understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber because
our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. Then in 13 it said "let us behave decently,
as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in
dissension and jealousy.

    So basically what the Bible is telling us is that our authority comes from he who is above us and
that is where we get our authority. But WE as humans should obay the law of the land and that if
we disobay that it is kinda like disobaying him.

“But Peter and the other apostles answered and said, “We ought to obey God rather than men.”"

 The apostles knew their priorities. While we should try to live at peace with everyone, conflict with the world and its authorities is sometimes expected for a Christians.
 

1) Luke 6:22, “Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake.”

2) Reason and discernment a big part of following God.

I. Legal cases the led to Brown v. Board of Education

A. The 14th Amendment was ratified stating that all people born or naturalized in the United States is a legal citizen. It states that all citizens are entitled to due process, according to the Bill of Rights.
B. Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) upheld segregation as long as the facilities and other tangible ideas were the same.
C. Sweatt v. Painter (19  ) required that the University of Texas School of Law integrate after Marion Sweatt sued the school after his application was rejected

A. To separate children based on their race generates a feeling within themselves that they are inferior. This feeling of inferiority in the community is likely to never be undone.
B.  In Sweatt v. Painter, the conclusion of the case was that a segregated law schools for Negroes can not possibly provide them the equal educational        opportunities that white law students receive.
C. A sense of inferiority affects how a child learns.
D. Lawfully sanctioned segregation has a tendency to stunt the mental development and education of Negroes.

A. Explain the problems assessed by the Court.
B. Assess the problems assessed by the Court.
C. Solve the problems assessed by the Court.

A. Perform judiciary appraisal of the defendants’ actions.
B. Require that the defendants, in compliance of the newly passed laws, make sure that the actions are taken in a quick and orderly manner.
C. Consider problems relating to the administration, from problems arising from the school’s transportation system, school’s physical condition, revision of school districts and attendance, and personnel in order to achieve a system of fairness to the plaintiffs.
D. Consider adequacy of plans proposed by defendants.

I. Problems with the District of Columbia and desegregation

A. The District of Columbia is not a state. The Fourteenth Amendment applies to states.
B. The Fifth Amendment that applies to the District of Columbia does not have an equal protection clause as the Fourteenth Amendment does.

A. The Negroes’ personal liberty was infringed.
B. Segregation was not an objective of the government.

            In April of 1963 Martin Luther King and his followers paraded the streets of Birmingham protesting
desegregation. White authorities were furious and King and his protestors were beaten and attacked with dogs, and
jailed. King was jailed for parading without a permit. Not long after King was thrown in jail eight well-known
Alabama clergymen publicly announced that King’s actions were ”unwise and untimely.” Kings responds with his
letter from the Birmingham jail proving he was neither unwise nor untimely.

I. My Dear Fellow Clergymen:

   A. King refers to the men as “fellow clergymen” implying he works for the same man
        they do, GOD.

   B. In the first paragraph, King responds to the men’s accusations of being “unwise and
       untimely” because he respects them and by showing them respect in this letter he
       hopes they will hear him out. (King usually doesn’t respond to criticism.

  C. In the second paragraph, King tells the men why he is in Birmingham. As president
       of the Southern Christian Leadership he was invited there by Alabama Christian
       Movement for Human Rights, a sister organization, one of eighty-five organizations
       across the South. Several months before they asked him and several members of his
      staff to participate in nonviolent direct-action program and they decided they must
      support.

D.  King goes on to say, “injustice is a threat to justice everywhere.” Despite the fact
      King was invited to Birmingham he states basically that he is obligated to set an
      example as a Civil Rights activist, to let people know that Blacks can no longer
      tolerate racial injustices.

E.  King goes on to say he requested they negotiate and they never responded. He states,
     “We know through painful experience the freedom is never voluntarily given by the
       oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” He exclaims “for years now I
       have heard the word wait.” King proves he was not untimely and that they have
      waited too long for freedom.

F.  King then admits they had broken laws but it was necessary. He goes on to tell the
     difference between just and unjust laws stating “A just law is a man-made code that
     is square with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of
     harmony with moral law…Any law that uplifts human personality is just. Any law
     that degrades human personality is unjust. All segregation statutes are unjust because
     segregation destroys the soul and damages personality.”

G. King goes on to say that time does not change the state of things and they can’t sit
     around and do nothing. He states, “It is immoral to urge an individual to withdraw
     his efforts to gain his basic constitutional rights, “simply” because it precipitates
     violence.”

H. When King discusses the fact that one of the clergymen called him an extremist he
     seems disappointed at first but then he uses examples of highly respected people who
     were extremists for their cause, such as Jesus, an extremist for love.
     Amos, an extremist for justice.
     Apostle Paul, an extremist for the Gospel of Christ
     And Martin Luther, Thomas Jefferson, and Lincoln.

I. King also states that he is disappointed with the white church and its leadership. He
    argues the church has been corrupted and instead of leading people to do as the Lord
    teaches they have become comfortable with how society says they should live their
    lives. He states in early days of Christianity people committed themselves more to
    God and stayed to the church instead of outside influences.

J.  As King begins to close his letter he talks about neither keeping nor preventing
    Violence because the clergymen commended the police for commending order and
    preventing violence when in fact they had not. He states police dogs attacked unarmed
    and nonviolent Negroes, pushed and cursed old Negro women and young Negro girls,
    and they also physically abused Negro men and young boys and refused to give them
    food because they wanted to sing their grace together while in jail.
    as the letter ends he thanks the clergymen for reading the letter thus far and closes the
    letter in the same respect he began the letter.

The part of the play that I saw was very close to the actual story, most of the time plays and movies are not as similar as the book or written version.  I missed most of it due to personal reasons, but here is my summary of the play, which I read in the library.  Hope this is what you were looking for.
In a thunderstorm, three witches decide to meet. Next, a captain reports to King Duncan that Macbeth beat Macdonwald in battle. Ross adds that the Thane of Cawdor was disloyal to Scotland during the battle. The three witches confront Macbeth and Banquo on their way home from the battle. They predict that Macbeth will be King of Scotland. The witches leave and Ross informs Macbeth that he has inherited the title Thane of Cawdor (as also predicted by the witches). Macbeth thinks of the prediction of him being king, and wonders if he should help make it happen. To Macbeth's dismay, King Duncan declares his eldest son, Malcolm, Prince of Cumberland (i.e. the next king). At Inverness Castle, Macbeth's wife learns of his encounter with the witches and decides that she'll persuade Macbeth to fulfill his destiny through foul play. She then learns that King Duncan is coming to her castle to stay the night, strengthening her decision to murder Duncan. Macbeth appears and his wife tells him she'll do the foul deed herself. Duncan arrives and Macbeth tells his wife he doesn't want to murder Duncan. She talks him into it, adding that they'll frame Duncan's own guards with the murder.
Past midnight, Macbeth converses with Banquo, then alone, hallucinates that a bloody dagger is in front of him. Macbeth meets his wife and tells her he murdered Duncan. He also begins hearing voices. Macbeth forgets to return the daggers to the king's guards, so his wife does it for him, bloodying herself too, as Macbeth loses himself in insanity. Macbeth accidentally admits of the murder, then withdrawals his admission. Duncan's sons, Malcolm and Donalbain, flee to England and Ireland, fearing for their own lives. Subsequently, Macduff and Ross discuss that all have decided that Malcolm and Donalbain bribed the guards to kill Duncan. Consequently, Macbeth is declared king.
At Scotland's castle (Forres), Macbeth contemplates how he fears Banquo may give breed to children who may overthrow Macbeth. Macbeth hires men to murder Banquo and his son, Fleance. Macbeth scares his wife by informing her of Banquo and Fleance's looming death. The murderers successfully murder Banquo, but Fleance escapes. At dinner, Macbeth imagines he sees Banquo's ghost.
The three witches make a brew chanting "double, double, toil and trouble." Macbeth approaches and asks three questions. The witches answer: 1. Beware Macduff, 2. None of woman borne will harm Macbeth, and 3. Macbeth will until Birnam Wood come to Dunsinane Hill.
A doctor and servant observe Macbeth's wife's sleepwalking and sleep-talking about Duncan's death. Menteith, Angus, Caithness, and Lennox discuss the impending battle with Macbeth and Birnam wood. An Dunsinane Castle, Macbeth is informed that an army of 10,000 is near. At Birnam wood, Malcolm orders his soldiers to cut the trees and use them as disguises. In the castle, Macbeth learns that his wife has died by her own hand, then learns, to his dismay, that Birnam wood is moving toward the castle. The army arrives and Macbeth fights and kills young Siward. Next, Macduff and Macbeth fight. Macduff informs Macbeth that he was ripped from his mother's womb, and thus not born of woman. Soon after, Macduff kills Macbeth. Macduff then crowns Malcolm the new King of Scotland.
 
 

Barber’s definitions relative to the reading:

 Jihad- a religious struggle which can result in violence through the political and militaristic means of the crusade. The term, while many times associated with Islam is used in the context of any heartfelt struggle. Eg. Montana militia, Nazis, even Christians

 McWorld- the rapid economic and cultural expansion throughout the world of popular culture and goods. McDonalds is international and can be found within any and every culture. It is representative of the global encompassment of American culture, popular culture.

Jihad and McWorld balance each other out. They are two opposite forces which continuously struggle against each other, and neither one of them will ever truly die out. There will always be a cause for Jihad, a new effort for radicals to be involved in, and at the same time, society is continuously changing. Even those who fight against change embrace it in their actions.

 Bosnian assassins wear new Adidas apparel, Middle Eastern zealots watch satellite network television, and radical organizations listen to and play rock music in an effort to release their message.

 McWorld is the theory of globalization, and Jihad is anti-globalization. Together they balance each other out.

What do Jihad and McWorld have in common?

 Both are negative
  Jihad focuses on destroying nationalism and sovereignty through isolating communities, while McWorld hurts national interests by the forging of global markets which hinder the sovereignty of nations. McWorld’s most powerful negative factor is the greed which is the focus of McWorld globalization.
