Why do some mothers commit maternal filicide?

Most times maternal filicide occurs when the mother is mentally ill or insane. There are some other reasons  that mothers commit this crime. Some mothers hear voices in their heads telling them to kill their children. That is an example of a mother being insane. Another reason is mothers believe that it is in the best interest of their kid if they die. In some cases mothers don't mean to kill their children but they abuse their children too much. Although it may start off as just abuse after sustaining a large amount of it the child may die. Another way mothers commit the crime which is very unlikely is when mothers kill their children in order to get back at their husband. Euripides showed this in his play Medea when Medea killed her children to get revenge on Jason her husband. Also some mothers kill their children because they are a burden on their lives. However no matter how this happens it is wrong and should never occur.

Understanding Early Chinese History

This article shows how Taoist text helps deepen the understanding of Early Chinese History. I think this because this article shows how the amount of Taoist's have changed. In Early Chinese history the only Taoist's were Taoist preists. Now like it says in the story you can walk into a temple and say I want to be a Taoist. The exact text from the story says, "There are ordinary people who join temples and call themselves lay Buddhists or Taoists." For all of time China has always had an emperor but now with Taoism they have a theocracy based around a celestial master or  Tianshi who was supposed to create a new political structure.  The structure that was going to be used was gonna treat every person fairly and with the same respect. This was the opposite of confucianism because Taosim was going with the flow but Confucionism is that you need to put in the effort to succeed.  Unfortunately the political structure in China did not last. Taosim is an important religion in China, Thailnd, Laos, Vietnam. The Taoist's left behind no physical evidence so it was hard for historians to learn about the dynasty. That was how Taoist texts help deepen the understanding of Early Chinese History.

Is our world real?

At first I thought that there is no chance that we are living in a simulated universe. But then Mr.Reiff told us about how our computer skills are getting better and how would we know that we haven't made a simulation system that looks very real and you would have no idea that there is a difference. Now I kind of agree with Neil deGrasse Tyson from the Are We Living in a Computer Simulation- Scientific American article. He said "put the odds at 50-50 that our entire existence is a program on someone else’s hard drive." Although there is a very high possibility that our world is a simulation there is still a big chance of our world not being a simulation but being a reality. One piece of evidence that supports that is "Cogito ergo sum", said by René Descartes. In English this means I think therefore I am. This shows that nobody can know that people besides themselves are thinking things. You can only know that you are if you can think. I know that I am so I personally think that there is a lot smaller than a 50% of the world being fake. 

Holocaust survivors compared to the book of job

There are many differences and similarities between the book of job and the article called The Search  for Faith which was a story about some peoples holocaust experience. One of the similarities is Job, Moshe Yosef Daum, and Fela Nussbaum all suffered from something God did or didn't do. In the book of Job he tortures Job by taking away his kids, his house, and all of his animals. However for Moshe Yosef Daum and Fela Nussbaum it was what God didn't do. They were both survivors of the Holocaust and wonder why God did not help all the Jews throughout the holocaust.

"At the Passover seder, my mother would get annoyed as my father recited the Exodus story. She would ask him, if God did so many miracles during biblical times, then why hadn’t she seen any such miracles during the Holocaust?" This shows how God didn't help the Jews (about 6 million) while they got murdered. However in Biblical times he acted differently and helped the Jews a lot like giving Job all of his stuff back after taking it and helping Noah build and get all the animals on his arc.

Some of the differences between these two stories is in the book of Job all of his stuff is given back to him after all the suffering that he went through. However in The Search for Faith there is no way God could return her child or first husband and all the family that they both lost. That is why I think Job was able to restore his faith in God but Fela Nussbaum still thinks that God only helped the Jews in biblical times. 

Comparing the book of job to other stories

The book of Job is very similar and different to other stories that we have read in the Old Testament. The book of Job is similar to the Sacrifice of Isaac. I think this because in both of these books they both make offerings to god, however in the Sacrifice of Isaac God wanted him to kill his son but he stops and has him kill a ram instead. But in the book of Job, Job loses everything he has his family, his animals, and lastly he loses his faith in God. God is a little unreasonable in both stories. In the Sacrifice of Isaac he is forcing Abraham to kill his own son. But even worse in the book of Job he killed or took away all of his animals and he had over like 20,000 animals. That is a lot of animals. Also he killed all of his family. God made the house collapse on them. Worst of all God did all of this because of a bet he made with Satan that said Job would never be unloyal to God. After all this somehow Job still thought that this was all for some reason and God had a bigger plan to killing his family and animals. However this story is different in some ways. Like in the Sacrifice of Isaac God wouldn't let Abraham kill his son so he sent an angel down to slop him. However in the book of Job I thought God would somehow just threaten Job and not actually kill all of his animals and his family. But he did and that made me think of God like a jerk while in the Sacrifice of Isaac I thought he was Isaac's savior and a good person to realize that nobody should have to kill their own son.
