Essays On Proverbs

Mira Ramesh Spoken Language Analysis
In origins of gender dichotomy of various adjectives and phrases is debated. Some, such as myself,
believe that gendered expressions derive their meanings from the intentions of the speaker. Others,
such as Mira Ramesh, believe that the interpretation of the listener is key in developing the gendered
meanings of these phrases. While Ramesh makes some good points, many of her statements are
one–sided and left unexplained or unanalyzed.
One of the first points Ramesh makes is that gendered phrases derive their meanings due to the
cultural background of the listener. I don't oppose this idea, however, Ramesh neglects to mention
how the cultural background of the speaker can also affect the gendered meanings of words. For
example, when Ramesh discusses the desirability of lighter colored skin in Indian culture, she only
talks about how the listener's cultural background drives him to interpret the phrase in a particular
way. She doesn't even acknowledge that the speaker's cultural background could also play a role in
determining whether the intent of telling...show more content...
Each speaker choses her own words, and while performing or describing genders, each speaker will
choose words that exemplify the gender he is describing. The adjectives the speaker uses will
depend on his cultural experiences. Ramesh's examples of the German view of bridges versus the
Spanish view of bridges support this statement. According to Ramesh, in German, adjectives like
beautiful and elegant are considered feminine adjectives. Therefore, if the intentions of a German
speaker were to describe a woman, he would probably use adjectives like these. By themselves,
these adjectives could describe any number of things. However, the cultural experiences of the
speaker would drive him to use these words to describe femininity, by assigning genders to
"arbitrary"

Proverbs 31 Essay
BIBLICAL WOMANHOOD BASED ON PROVERBS 31
INTRODUCTION
As a fairly young girl, in my early twenties, I read Proverbs 31. Not that that was the first time I
was reading it. It just happened that this time, it so captivated and impressed me that I found
myself praying it back to God on an almost daily basis after that. I desperately desired to be like this
woman of noble character candidly described in Proverbs 31. Could it be that having just come
out of that age and season of teenage and adolescence I had increasingly become aware of my
femaleness and hence my womanhood? Could it be that I was unconsciously reaching out for an
anchor by which to measure my womanhood? Was it the inner realization that I was falling far too
short of God's will and expectation of me as a woman, at least from my point of view? What would
it take to be the godly woman God wanted me to...show more content...
Let me say that having done this study a number of years now with young women, and having had to
check what God was also saying to me, I realized the need to put on paper the various aspects of
the godly woman that God had revealed to us from His Word in a way that the young woman on
campus or college, and the young single and married woman can identify with and work towards,
as I said earlier, in the spirited endeavor to align her life to what God is saying; a gesture that
honors the lord through obeying his word
Secondly, I must say I have been a beneficiary of the writings by godly women from the west.
Their books have been an immense blessing to me. I however began to realize that there didn't
seem to be a book based on Proverbs 31 written in our African context addressing our realities; at
least not in the way I was seeking to have these realities addressed. As I sought to contextualize the
book I was using to suit and address the young women's needs, the thoughts of someday writing a
book on this chapter began to solidify in my

A proverb that describes a basic rule of conduct may also be known as a maxim. If a proverb is
distinguished by particularly good phrasing, it may be known as an aphorism. The study of
proverbs is called: paremiology (from Greek ПЂО±ПЃОїО№ОјОЇО± – paroimГa, "proverb") and
can be dated back as far as Aristotle. Paremiography, on the other hand, is the collection of
proverbs. Subgenres include proverbial comparisons ("as busy as a bee"), proverbial interrogatives
("Does a chicken have lips?") and twin formulas ("give and take"). Typical stylistic features of
proverbs are: alliteration (Forgive and forget) parallelism (Nothing ventured, nothing gained) rhyme
(When the cat is away, the mice will play) ellipsis (Once bitten, twice shy)
Internal features that can be found quite frequently include: hyperbole (All is fair in love and war)
paradox (For there to be peace there must first be war) personification (Hunger is the best cook) To
make the respective statement more general most proverbs are based on a metaphor. Further typical
features of the proverb are its shortness (average: seven words), and the fact that its author is
generally unknown (otherwise it would be a quotation). We should also understand the difference
between a proverb and a saying. A proverb distinguishes from a saying by its instructive nature and
maturity. Whereas a saying is usually not quite complete and has no conclusion.

Theoretical Analysis Paper
Theoretical Analysis This section aims to give a platform in understanding the human
communication that occurs in the workplace. As we discuss, people with high apprehension would
likely to have a tendency to avoid communication with others. Therefore, when a person
communicates with another person, sometimes it may involve some uncomfortable feelings between
them. This situation might be related or could be examined by using communication theories, in
particularly, Cognitive Dissonance Theory and Expectancy Violations Theory.
Cognitive Dissonance Theory
According to cognitive dissonance theory (Festinger, 1957), individuals feel uncomfortable when
they gain information which does not match the existing pattern or inconsistent. West & Turner
(2010) explained that the dissonance as inconsistent between...show more content...
However, if they were not able to avoid and withdraw from the unfavorable communication
situations, then the dissonance would not be reduced and consequently, they become less satisfied
with their jobs (Gibbs, Rosenfeld, and Javidi, 1994).
There are three ways of reducing the dissonance between actions and attitudes: selective exposure,
post–decision dissonance, and minimal justification (Griffin, 2012). First, Festinger believed that
people tend to avoid information that increases dissonance and find out the information that is
consistent with their attitudes and behavior. The selective exposure hypothesis could explain why
the high CA members still choose to avoid communication, even though it was necessary and
compulsory in the workplace. For example, high apprehensive workers were fear of negative
evaluation (Winiecki and Ayres, 1999) and this emphasized that they refuse to gain information from
others, as they would avoid the dissonance and become consistent with their aversive behaviors.
According to Festinger (1957), after people made a decision, they could produce a huge amount of
internal tensions. The theory mentions that the more important the

The Book of Proverbs Essay
The Book of Proverbs
The book of Proverbs explains the wisdom of the Lord and the duties towards God and our parents.
We should praise God for his wisdom because He created us and the world. God tells us that we
need to be prepared when we serve Him because He will judge us when we die. We need to accept
whatever falls upon us and make the best of it like God would want us to do. The book of Proverbs
tells us that we need to cling on to Him which to me that means we should follow His teachings and
do whatever it takes to be with God so we can share in
God's life in heaven. When something bad happens to us and we don't know how to handle it we
can always pray to God for help, instead of doing what may seem right to...show more content...
That to me is one of the biggest commandments that God gave us. In chapter four it talks about the
poor. I think that most of the poor did not choose the way they live but they do need our help most
of all.
We can help the poor by not turning away from them but by helping them with what they need,
like giving them food or water, by giving them shelter and clothes, and by helping them turn to
God for help too because that way they can try and live the way God wants them to live. There
are also poor people who bring it onto themselves by maybe dropping out of school, quitting their
jobs, running away from their homes, and by taking big risks. But they too need help and we can
help them by doing all that we can for them. Chapter four also talks about the rewards of wisdom.
I know that if we help people who need help then God will in return will let us be with him in
heaven. But if we don't then we will eventually regret the things that we could of done in our lives
on earth when we are judged. We also need to ignore the evils so that we don't fall into sin.
God tells us not to show favoritism because it is to our own discredit. I think when we do show
favoritism that is when people will use us and that is when it is to our discredit. He also tells us
that we should not refrain from speaking at the proper time and not hide our wisdom. God wants us
to use our wisdom and our talents that is why he gave them to

Ap English Proverbs
A proverb (Hebrew marshal) is a short poetic sentence conveying wisdom in a concise and
memorable form. (p.259) Solomon the writer of proverbs, was told by God" he could ask for
anything he wanted and God would give it to him. Solomon asked for wisdom to lead the people, so
they would know the difference between right and wrong."(1Kings 3:5–9 paraphrased) According to
Hindson and Yates "Hebrew wisdom literature taught people not only how to make good choice s
in life but how to make godly choices." (p.259) Proverbs shows many parallels and contrasts,
usually in a two sentence form. In this essay we will look at the teachings of Hebrew wisdom on
diligence and laziness, and how it corresponds with the contrast between wisdom and folly. "The

"Let all who are simple come in here!" she says to those who lack judgment. "Stolen water is
sweet; food eaten in secret is delicious!" But little do they know that the dead are there, that her
guests are in the depths of the grave." Solomon depicts wisdom as a woman who has diligent,
understanding, one who is prepared and ready to share with all who are lacking in judgment.(1–12)

Bible Project
The book that I studied was the Book of Proverbs. The book of Proverbs is part of the Books of
Wisdom in the Old Testament of The Bible. The books in the wisdom section of The Bible
(includes the book of Job, Psalms, Proverbs,Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, Book of Wisdom and
Sirach) are meant to try and spread wisdom to the reader and show the right way, or better ways to
live your life in faith. The book of Proverbs is made up of guides on how to live a faithful life, and
how to deal with different situations that you may come across in your life.
Proverbs is a collection of instructions and sayings composed into a book (usccb.org, 2016). The
Book of Proverbs is made up of both long and short guides to life that have to deal with certain
situations. These passages can range from a length of seven verses to thirteen chapters. The
situations that are written about are very common in today's society. These situations that are
written about in Proverbs range from laziness to laughter. Proverbs includes two types of writings:
long instructions that are addressed to younger people and shorter sayings that are meant for all
ages. Parallelism, which is the state of being parallel to something, or corresponding to something
is very common in The Book of Proverbs. The book of Proverbs stresses that faith is a matter of right

Proverbs Essay
The age of the proverbs and sayings, as well as the age of the folklore is very difficult to be
determined. There is relatively little and seldom convincing evidence about their origin. They
appeared in literary form, and are in most of the cases and adaptation of the oral communication. The
proverbs have been transmitted from generation to generation, until they were recorded as being a
national treasure. Each country has its own proverbs that represent the culture [16]. It is also said
that the proverbs are so old that they are going out of fashion or changing into clichГ©s but still
they have a very important role for the language.
Most of the proverbs have unknown authors. It is told that the origin of proverbs can be traced back
to the time when lived Aristotle. Many proverbs and sayings have their origin in Bible and other
kinds of holly books. The origin of proverbs can be also traced according to the earliest Sumerian
cuneiform tablets (2500 B. C. ) which gave grammatical rules in proverbs, and the philosophical
writings of Aristotle....show more content...

Jenet Heseltine has pointed out that proverbial sayings can be found in religious manuscripts from
the first half of the eighth century beginning with brief collections of proverbs included half in the
vernacular, the whole in Latin, probably with the reason to facilitate the teaching of Latin. Some
sources, however state that the proverbs appeared for the first time in the 12th or even in 14th
century. [http://www.merriam–webster.com/dictionary/proverb

Meaning Of Proverbs
Each and every proverb has its own meaning and can only be used in particular situations, many
times, the meaning of a proverb is not obvious and this is why knowing all necessary information
about isabout is of the utmost importance. Using proverbs in text or in speech incorrectly may cause
misunderstandings and confusion.
Norick (1985) marks two levels of comprehension: literal and figurative (implied). The former relates
more to proverbs that can be understood on literal level, e.g. Like mother, like daughter (Oxford
Dictionary of Proverbs 2004), the literal meaning of this proverb is 'mother and daughter are alike',
there is nothing metaphorical in it and it is understood literally, the letter, however, is more

Mieder (2014) claims that proverbs are irreplaceable tools in teaching children moral behaviours,
experience and general wisdom. However, not every proverb has its didactic function, and one
should be careful while selecting them in order to teach others (Norrick 1985). Proverbs can be
also used to teach foreign languages by translating exercises and at the same time pupils can learn
about specific culture, heritage and moral precepts (Mieder op. cit.). Worth mentioning is the fact
that proverb can have direct and indirect didactic tendency. Nevertheless, all proverbs can be
considered as a didactic tool in particular context (Norrick op. cit.). In conclusion, it is commonly
known that proverbs are good sources of wisdom and experience that can be also transmitted into
other purposes, for example learning foreign languages or teaching about human nature (Mieder op.

Proverbs: Choice and Discernment, the Two Ways of Living
In studying the book of Proverbs there is a similar theme of choice and discernment, the teachings of
decision–making and the repercussions of your actions. These books are made up of extremes and
polar opposites. The dualisms are the rich and poor, the righteous and the wicked, and the wise and
the foolish. There is advice given and it is up to the judgment of the person to which category they
will fall into. There are two ways of living, and based on the person's discernment and ultimate
choice to which one they will get to live. This paper will focus on Proverbs 10, 12, and 14,
Solomon's Proverbs, to display this theme of choice and discernment. Proverb 10 is an...show more

The passage is most explicit to what will actually happen if a man chooses the wrong kind of
wife. He will greatly suffer if his judgment was bad on whom to marry, he will experience
physical ailments. If the man uses wisdom in making the decision to marry a capable wife, he
will be rewarded for acting wisely. "If you are lazy, you will never get what you are after, but if
you work hard, you will get a fortune" (12:27). This passage shows that the repercussions to your
decisions can be very bountiful. If you make the right decision to work hard and not be lazy, you
will come into wealth and get what you are after in life. "Retribution is not an entirely satisfactory
term, however, for the English word connotes punishment rather than reward, and immediate
rather than gradual consequences". This passage is showing that there is not just consequences,
there are rewards for discernment, and God/dess will provide those to you. Again, this Proverb is
about choosing which way of life suits you; in all cases, having better judgment and being
righteous will always bring you a better life, and be profitable. Proverb 14 continues to address
this dualistic approach on advice. "Homes are made by the wisdom of women, but are destroyed
by foolishness" (14:1). This passage is very interesting because Proverbs has been directed mainly to
men, and this is telling the men that their women are wise. It would be foolish to not listen to a
woman. Your house is not built with

This would be an observational saying because it is obvious that you cannot be caught if you
have chosen to never do anything wrong. These are simple teachings, if you make the decision to
behave, good things will come to you. Also, if you make the decision to be a good person, good
things will come out of you. "Righteous people know the kind things to say, but the wicked are
always saying things that hurt" (10:32). This is also an observation or confession, advice that is
based on personal experiences. These passages focus on human's interactions with each other.
"[Proverbs] is mostly concerned with advice about relationships in different areas of life". Your
personal life, and your relationships with others will prosper if you use good judgment and make
the decisions to be wise, hardworking, and righteous. Proverb 12 is also an antithetical
parallelism. The admonition tends to be positive, these are advices; do this, rather than, don't do
that. "Wickedness does not give security, but righteous people stand firm" (12:3). There is no true
foundation for those who chose to be wicked, nothing stable for them to grasp onto. "The
condition of the wicked man is impermanent and uncertain, whereas the righteous man cannot be
torn from the ground in which he is deeply rooted". Having the keen insight to make the decision
to be righteous will protect you; you can feel secure with where you are and who you are. "A good

behavior that includes thoughts, communications, languages, practices, beliefs, values, customs,

ethnic, religious or social group; and the ability to transmit the above to succeeding generation. This
means that language is not only part of how we define culture, it also reflects culture. Thus, the

Language is of the most important way of communication. In folklore among all the variety and
richness of its poetical significance and forms it is difficult to find more interesting and
researchable genre than proverbs and sayings. Proverbs and sayings play important role in language.
