Original Sin The meaning of sin varies from person to person. For example, some believe all sin is equally damaging in God’s eyes, whereas others believe that God unconditionally loves everyone. Many take sin seriously, attempting to live by every virtue and repenting after a blunder. Yet, others see sin as a mirage, focusing on unrealistic virtuous ways of living. These ideas bring up much discourse and opinion swapping, especially in online blogs.

Democracy - the word As Americans, we follow a liberal democracy, meaning we elect representatives to exercise the power to make decisions and laws. Under majority rule and popular sovereignty we exercise the right to choose our leaders and those who hold office. However, the United States was never established as a “pure” democracy, which would mean that citizens would have a more direct say in how it’s run. This is why, for example, in the 2000 presidential election, George Bush was named the winner despite there being more individual ballots cast for Al Gore. Many say that the closest form of a “pure” democracy happened in Athens, Greece, where the word originated.
