A place for the past? Establishing a permanent museum at Bushnell

Currently Bushnell does not have permanent museum to honor the school’s rich heritage and inspire the current generation of students, when we know our history, it can connect us to a deeper and bigger mission. It can also motivate us to preserve what we have already inherited.

The Perspectives of Death

When my grandparents and Nina passed away 5 and 10 years ago, I couldn’t imagine what would they be doing now. Socrates had a belief of two ways life after death could be like. After reading his story, I can see that may be they are okay and are living pain-free from the physical world and enjoying themselves in another plane of existence.

Zarathustra’s Views on Good & Evil

My presentation looks at Zarathustra’s view on humanity’s inherent good and evil, based on the teachings of Zoroastrianism, one of the oldest monotheistic religions. I will examine the duality of good and evil and the ethical foundation Zarathustra established for humanity. The main points will include free will, moral responsibility, and the victory of good over evil. I will explore the impact of Zarathustra’s ideas on future religions and today’s view on ethics, connecting ancient wisdom to modern ethical and moral ideas.

A Value Built Upon Treasures; Ancient Egypt and Modern Day Qatar

My ACE Day presentation is about a document called, “Harkhuf’s Expeditions to Nubia.” This document gives an account of an Egyptian royal official from the Old Kingdom and the letter sent to him from Pharaoh Neferkare about his return. This story tells us that great treasures were found in Nubia for the people of Egypt and the return of officials from these countries brought excitement at the offerings they held. It shows the power of an object to convey the feeling of anticipation for one’s return, and in some cases this anticipation could even be associated with the feeling of missing someone. The impact of his travels on both himself and the Pharaoh of Egypt tell a story of one’s role in society. Harkhuf’s role became greater and was appreciated more because of his acts in seeking out and returning with valuable objects. The story I tell in relation to this conveys the same feeling, that one can amplify their importance through their absence and the excitement of their return. My story is related to a specific time when my father was deployed to Qatar on a United States Air Base called Al Udeid. I connect this story and the anticipation of my father’s return to the same anticipation the Pharaoh had for Harkhuf’s return. The idea is that our anticipation changes the way we may view someone, suddenly giving them emotional power or belonging in a way that they never would have been able to gain before. My story and the story of Harkhuf’s expeditions tell of the material joy of one’s return, and the potential harm in this manipulation of their image, whether this harm is done on purpose or accident.

The Quran: A Story of Change

My presentation looks at the Quran as a story of rebirth and how it changed how people thought about faith and life back then. Using the PechaKucha method, I’ll talk about how the Quran shows Allah as a caring and merciful guide who helps shape his followers’ values and choices. The idea is to see the Quran as more than just a religious text and how it inspired people to look at their beliefs in a new way. I’ll also connect this to my own experience of rebuilding after a big loss, showing how change can lead to transformation. This presentation won’t be about convincing anyone of anything, just giving space to think about the Quran differently.

The gender roles in ancient society and today

The story that I am going to tell is a tale as old as time, the story of gender roles in society. The primary source I am choosing is “Mexica Expectations of Boys and Girls.” In the Mexica way of life, the men were warriors, priests, cultivators, artisans, and Merchants while the women were told that “It was not necessary for [them] to go anywhere”. I think that the gender roles found in this primary source can be related to societies throughout history and today’s societies. While gender roles in America become looser by the day, they remain strong in many other parts of the world so I am going to discuss that.

Martin Luther Pecha-kucha

Throughout the early sixteenth century, Luther challenged the moral and religious sanctity of Catholicism. Luther’s writings on Christian liberty often disputed what the Catholic Church taught. He argued that it is faith and not works that save one’s soul. Luther gained credibility by citing different passages from the Bible such as parts of Peter, Romans, and Corinthians. When Luther describes liberty he doesn’t use it in a physical sense, but rather a spiritual one. He explains that salvation isn’t something that you can purchase because it is by faith people are saved

Mans wealth and how it relates to political rights

The story that I am going to be telling for my ace day Pecha Kucha is going to be the story of why a man’s wealth was so important for possessing political rights. I think that this will be the best story for me to do for my presentation for a few reasons. It is important for why certain political leaders were political leaders, and if it was for their knowledge, or because of their wealth. The emotional impact that I am trying to leave the audience with is that we should not base our political decisions off just how much money someone has, but we should base it off their knowledge and their decision making. I think there is a lesson to be learned here, and it is exactly that. We should base who we vote for not based off their income or their net worth, but we should base it off their knowledge and how good they would be as a leader. I think that I will be able to successfully relate the primary source to my own life because I feel as if in my own life, I tend to lean towards and be around people who are wealthier, but don’t have my best interest at heart.

God of the Valley: How Latin American “Liberation Theology” Differs from Theologies of Suffering

While some say that liberation theology is just another theology of suffering and differs only in geographical location, liberation theology is a unique grassroots theological movement in Latin America as seen in its’ focus on action before doctrine, its’ concentration on helping the poor, and its’ ties between politics and religions.

Wollstonecraft versus Rousseau: Early Feminism in the Enlightenment 

In the world’s modern discourse, it is nearly impossible to avoid conversations about the nature of contemporary feminism. Despite the notion that feminism and the push for women’s rights is a fairly recent issue, Mary Wollstonecraft is arguably one of the key matriarchs of the modern feminist movement. Wollstonecraft highlights the hateful ideals surrounding women at the time in “A Vindication for Women’s Rights” to respond to the hateful ideals encouraged by Jean-Jacques Rousseau in “Emile.” With her main argument critiquing the fallibility of enlightenment logic, Wollstonecraft effectively mothers the main question surrounding feminist rhetoric: how can society claim to prioritize equality under God, when half of those on the planet are unequal? In focusing on the irony surrounding this backward logic, the argument between Wollstonecraft and Rousseau helps frame feminism today.

The Significance of Scatological Humor in the Protestant Reformation

Martin Luther, well-known for his vociferous theological statements opposing the papacy, was one of the founders of the Protestant Reformation. What most people are not aware of, however, was his frequently use of potty humor when describing his spiritual experiences and encounters with the pope. This was revolutionary for the time because it shattered the illusion that people had toward religious authority as the ultimate spiritual mediator between them and God. This shift in mindset brought about a great change in 14th century Europe, resulting in the many Christian denominations we have today.
