The Meaning of Equality

The Meaning of Equality

What does equality really mean? If there was ever a subject that has confused us humans, this is it. The definition of equality is “the state of being equal, especially in status, rights, and opportunities.” Equality though doesn’t just refer to these examples, it also refers to all aspects of life. As humans, we don’t go through a day without treating someone with inequality, whether it’s just teasing someone, or bragging. All those things are a form of inequality. God showed us the greatest act of equality and love ever. He died so that we can all be equal under Him. None of us can achieve equality without God.



Equality means that no matter how different you are you will always have a place in the world. Ephesians 2:14 “For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one, and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility.” This verse is talking about the segregation of the Jews and the Gentiles. God broke down the wall that divided them, so that they could all have a chance to follow Jesus. Many people who feel they don’t have a place in the world have been exposed to discrimination and inequality.  This include the homeless, or people of different races.  Helping people to understand that they are equal and as powerful as those around them, inspires them to do great things.



Equality means that God loves us all the same. Deuteronomy 10:17 “For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes.” God makes everyone with unique gifts and talents so that they can use them to benefit others.  In this way, everyone gets a chance to make a difference. God created everyone different and unique and if he wanted to show favoritism, he would probably have made only one person different.  Our gifts don’t make us better than others, just different.  Doctors and police officers both use their giftings to help others and they are both important.



Equality means that even though our sinful nature tells us we’re better than others, we have to ignore that and do what God wants.  Sin has influenced people that have introduced segregation, stereotypes and inequality.

Sin gives us the idea that its all right to be unfair and discriminate against people.  This is not God’s way or what he intended for us.  We need to be his examples.  Many people have been brought to Christ by being treated with equality and fairness, and seeing God’s love through that.  This is our greatest mission as God’s children.



Equality can mean many different things but knowing how to apply it is one of the many trials we have to face as humans.  Equality is God’s way of saying that we are all loved the same.  Treating people with equality is our mission from God. He gave us this task so we have something to strive for when we show others His love.  Equality is loving, even through hard times.  Equality is peace among people.  Treating people with equality isn’t always easy, but it’s the glue that holds every single one of us together.

1 John 2:2  “He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. “

Spanish Art-Interpretation

This report has been prepared by: Caileigh Watson

Hi everyone and welcome back to FPWC (Famous Painters With Caileigh) Today we are going to be learning about George Littlechild’s painting “Red Horse Boarding School” and Frida Kahlo’s “The Wounded Deer.”

George Littlechild was born in 1958 in Edmonton and was taken from his family at birth. He was sent to 5 different foster homes by the time he was 4.

Frida Kahlo was born Jul 6, 1907. When she was a child, she caught polio and from then on, she had a limp. In 1925 she was in a bus accident and spent the rest of her life suffering from it.

The important details of these paintings lie within the artist’s story. In the Red Horse Boarding School one of the hidden details lie in the stars. In the schools George was forced to go to if you did a good job you got a gold star if you did a bad job you got a red star.

In The Wounded Deer Frida symbolized herself as a stag with arrow sticking out all over her. The arrows symbolize her pain and disappointment over her failed back surgery that she hoped would be successful.

In “Red Horse Boarding School” the two symbols that are important are the stars and     the horse cut in half.  The horse symbolizes how the First Nations people had their history torn away from them.  The stars represented the stars that they got as a grading method.

In “The Wounded Deer” the two important symbols are the broken branches and the arrows.  The branches represented pain and depression and the arrows represented her feelings towards her failed back surgery.

A similarity between these two paintings is the pain and suffering that they both portray that the artist went through.  This shows how many paintings are inspired through pain and suffering.

From these art pieces we can learn pieces of these artists that can only be expressed through paintings. We can learn their secrets that were too painful to share and we can make connections that were never there before.

Health/Bible

The verses 1 Corinthians 6:19 (Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own) and Romans 12:1(I appeal to you therefore, brothers,^[a] by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship) talk about respecting your body. How do you respect your body? Respecting your body can include protecting yourself from things that can harm you like Drugs, Smoking and Drinking alcohol. Respecting your body also means exercising and doing brain teasers or puzzles doing these thing can help your body as well as mind grow. 

Mental well-being

Understanding What mental well being is can be very difficult. Nowadays there is lots of stress about little things like tests and friends and jobs. Ways to promote mental health for you and others can include doing things to release stress like deep breathing staying calm and doing things to relax you. You can also try and learn new things learning new skills helps to challenge your brain and keep it sharp. Try to be active as being active can make you brain feel great. Connecting with other people can also help you to be social and can also help to relive stress.

Exercise

Exercising and doing activities that are active helps your body. Different activities help different parts of your body, for example, doing a fitness circuit exercises many parts of your body so it is a very beneficial exercise to do. Doing a fitness circuit can also help you build up stamina a little bit at a time. Doing competitive swimming can build up your arm muscles and your leg muscles. Another benefit is being able to control your breathing well. An emotional effect competitive swimming can have is it helps you to develop good sportsmanship.  Effects that doing yoga can have on your body include flexibility, the ability to hold a pose for a long time and it relaxes people. Being active can help your body to work better and help you to feel better physically and emotionally.

My favourite kind of exercise is running and swimming because it uses my legs as well as my arms.  I have recently discovered that I like basketball through Faith and Fitness.  I like being able to work with other people and to dribble down the court while communicating with everyone else to work to pass to them.
