The week of September the 23rd Dr.Cain Felder spoke about freedom. To start off he explains how in America people may talk about freedom, and all the time but that it would usually be the majority race. Freedom is a matter of an unfeathered ability to exercise choice. Everyday we have the chance to exercise this freedom of ours (either good or bad). Both sides of freedom have consequences.
Dr. Felder then began to speak on the garden of Eden, which is located in Africa. Even though everything started in Africa he made sure to tell us not to have any negative thoughts towards Greece and Rome. He connects the first book in the bible, Genesis chapters one through 11 to crime and punishment.
History never began at slavery, which is what the average high school teacher will not tell you. This generation has been getting lied to from the people that are suppose to be teaching us. History is always written from someones perspective. "We are people of the day before yesterday" - Dr. Felder
Human beings have a need to gain POWER, most of the time, when we do have power we abuse it. Instead of using it and distributed help among others we continue to be selfish, and this always backfires on us, which is how we lose the power that we once had. Also justice played a major role in Dr. Felders lesson. He spoke of how justice is just establishing the right relationship, basically when it is "well balanced".
In the ending of his speech he mentioned two amazing freedom and justice leaders. Sojourner Truth was born into slavery and had a stroing sense of destiny and courage. Dr. Felder also mentioned Nkruma Kwame, he was the prime minister of Guana. He knew his destiny included great things. Kwame was brought up in a Catholic school and developed the sense that GOD definitely had major plans with his life.
