Quakers As Pacifists
In navigating their wartime options, Friends of military age had to consider their identity as
Quakers, as pacifists, as members of a local community of believers and of a national community of
service. The United States' intense effort to raise a national army to fight the Great War forced many
Friends to grapple with, likely for the first time in their young lives, what it meant to be a member of
a pacifist organization. This challenged them to define their beliefs and evaluate their relationship to
the religious community and the nation of which they were a part. However diverse their paths of
service, these individuals are united by their drive to meaningfully contribute to institutions,
communities, and ideals that they saw as larger than

The Perseviction Of The Quakers In England
The Quakers formed in England in 1652. Many people today considered the Quakers as radical
Puritans because they went to extremes many Puritan convictions. They stretched the deportment of
the Puritans into a "glorification of "plainness."". Faithfully they expanded the Puritan concept of a
church by the Holy Spirit to the idea of the need of the Spirit in every person. Quakers were severely
persecuted in England for daring to drift so far from orthodox Christianity. By 1680, 10,000 Quakers
had been imprisoned in England and 243 had died of torture and mistreatment in jail. This fear
caused Friends to seek refuge in Rhode Island in the 1670s. In 1681, when Quaker leader William
Penn parlayed a debt owed by Charles II to his father into a charter

Running Head: BRAND EQUITY AND POSITIONING
Quaker Oats – Brand Equity and Positioning
Abstract
Brand equity and positioning are integral parts of any marketing campaign. Any product or service
needs to provide value to its customers in order to be successful. A personal interview and research
reveal information about the Quaker Oats brand, how it created equity and its position in the market.
Having a solid foundation and keeping up with changes in trends and society are the keys to a
successful brand.

names, like Levi's (instead of jeans), Kleenex (instead of tissue), or Band–Aid (instead of adhesive

Primarily the loyalty is based on perception, not tangible evidence. Here we can see how important
brand equity and positioning can be to a product that is otherwise probably on par with many of its
competitors, but the message conveyed by the brand is quite different. Quaker Oats emerged from a
turn of the century merger of three milling companies over 130 years ago. It grew to become one of
the top companies in the world by providing reliable quality to its first customers. Quaker Oats has
been able to build a reputation of offering healthy, wholesome breakfast foods by targeting female
supermarket customers. Although advertising has gone from a "warm, healthy breakfast" to
delivering messages about "vitamins and minerals essential to a female metabolism" (Standaert,
2003), the target market is the same. Quaker is also hoping to reach nutrition professionals and
health–food retailers. According to Indra Nooyi, Chief Executive Officer of Pepsico (parent
company of Quaker Oats), they "...do not market to kids under 12..." since they "...do not have a
nutritious product..." they feel comfortable marketing to young kids (Farey–Jones, 2010). Quakers
are a religious sect noted for purity and an old–fashioned work ethic. Just the name evokes images
of vast farmlands that have been worked and harvested by hand and a perceived purity (Brand

A History Of The Gilpin Family
A history of the Gilpin Family in America From 1685 to 1810 (Change title) The Gilpin family, have
been an integral part of American History since their arrival in 1695. The family, who arrived, as
part of an initial large wave of Quakers in America, carved out a place in American, more
specifically Quaker History. Coming to America, at the invitation of William Penn, and deeply
embroiled in significant events in American History, the Gilpin 's were early founders of
Pennsylvania. Their Quaker background proved to be of primary importance in precisely how the
family participated in important events, like the American Revolution. From their peaceful relations
with Indians to their involvement in the American Revolution, their pacifist belief system influenced
their action. However, not all members of the Gilpin family remained pacifists. While one member
Thomas Gilpin held fast to his Quaker beliefs during the American Revolution, another, Colonel
George Gilpin, Became a close confidant of George Washington eventually serving as Pallbearer at
Washington 's funeral. . The Quakers were different from many of the settlers of other early
American colonies. The Quakers, also known as the Society of Friends, were built upon ideals of

Quaker Parrots Research Paper
Also known as monk parrots or grey–breasted parrots, Quaker parrots are native to South America
but have managed to make their home in some U.S. states and European countries, due to their
hardiness and ability to endure temperate climates. They measure about 12 inches from head to tail
and grow to about the same size as cockatiels. Quaker parrots are naturally green with grey chests,
throats and foreheads. They also sport some blue coloring on their primaries and tail feathers.
However, you may be able to find different colored quaker parrots that have been bred specifically
to give them a blue, white or other different color instead of green.
Quaker parrots are incredibly intelligent and you can very quickly teach them how to talk. With the
right training, you can even teach them to say things at appropriate times such as only saying "Good
morning" when its actually time–appropriate. Quaker parrots are noisy birds and although they
usually only communicate at a moderate volume, they will be whistling, chirping and talking all day

The Quakers And The Religious Society Of Friends
The Quakers were first founded in the mid–1600s in England and were formerly known as The
Religious Society of Friends. They were a very simple and devoted democratic group of people.
When they arrived in America, they began to try to settle in Massachusetts. Massachusetts was also
where the Puritan colonists had been settling and because they (the Quakers) threatened the Puritan's
beliefs in America they gave them and other opposing religions, such as the Baptists, harsh
punishments for inhabiting their land which included hanging, fines, whipping, and banishing the
people from Massachusetts. The Quakers later moved their efforts to the new land of Pennsylvania.
They established their land on "the equality of all persons (including women, blacks, and Indians)
before God." They proved this stance of equality by being the "first group of whites to repudiate
slavery" of Africans. They also purchased their found land from the Indians that owned it. These
actions show that the Quakers truly lived in equality. "Religious freedom was Penn's most
fundamental principle." The Quakers never gave an established church for Pennsylvania and
allowed almost all religious freedom in its land. Although the Quakers were lenient on race, gender,
and religious preference they did have a "strict code of personal morality." They "prohibited
swearing, drunkenness, and adultery" among many other activities that they thought were immoral.
Many of their beliefs spread throughout America and has

The U.S. government had accrued a $40 million debt fighting the War of Independence, and settlers
hungry for Indian land in the west would provide a sorely needed source of income. When Henry
Knox became secretary of War in 1789, he implemented a strategy which would come to be known
as "expansion with honor." According to Knox, convincing Native Americans to adopt an economy
based on the traditional European model would be a far more cost–effective way of separating
Indians from their lands. Agriculture required less land than hunting (which, according to Knox and
other contemporary Euro–Americans' assumptions, was the Indians' main source of income and
sustenance), and so once the Natives were settled onto farms, they would, presumably, gladly sell
the surplus lands to the federal government. Not only would the United States gain Indian lands
without waging war but, Knox argued, it change would be beneficial for Native Americans.

What Are The Religious Beliefs Of The Quakers?
The Religious Society of Friends, better known as the Quakers, is a Christian society who believes
God in is the presence of each and every person. The Religious group was founded in the mid–17th
century by George Fox in England. Eventually the group came to America for a better life and
religious opportunities.
In England, the Quakers beliefs were thought of as dangerous and devilish. Their beliefs were to
different from England's version of orthodox Christianity so England started persecuting the group.
After 10,000 Quakers had been thrown in to jail and 243 had died from the torture in the jails, they

Quakers Beliefs
The Protestant Reformation often gets the lion's share of attention when discussing religious reform
and renewal during the Early Modern period. However, to state that the Reformation was the only
significant shift in the ideology and practice of Christianity would be to greatly undersell the
importance of a myriad of religious reformers that denounced the decrepit and outdated relationship
between mainstream religious practice and God. For this new wave of religious reformers, the
traditions of the mainstream Church (whether Protestant or Catholic) were getting in the way of
godly men and women forging a personal relationship with their savior, one in which the individual

Breaking from Protestant tradition, in which church services tended to be muted and formal,
Methodist services often included "crying, moaning, and shouting"8. For Methodists, this
expression of true rapturous love for God was an outgrowth of the great personal love each person
had for his or her creator; for Methodists, loudly and passionately expressing your religious feelings
was to embrace God with all of one's being. This was a common thread among many reformers
during the time period: the idea that the church services being practiced by the mainstream
Protestant church were too far removed from the passionate love of God that many believers felt
from within their hearts. Methodism and its focus on personal relationships and contact with God
would prove very popular among disaffected Protestants, and would eventually become among the

George Fox: The Quaker Society
Origins and history
Quakerism was founded by George Fox around the time of the English Civil War (6142–1651), as
did many other denominations of christianity. George Fox was annoyed and unsatisfied with the
teaching of the Church Of England. He had a strong belief that "there is one, even, Christ Jesus, who
can speak to thy condition" (as quoted). His belief became strong enough to convince him that one
could have a direct experience with Jesus without the aid of the Church.
On Pendle Hill in Lancashire, England, Fox had a vision. "The Lord let me see in what places he
had a great people to be gathered" (Quoted). After this act he travelled to preach and teach all of the
soon to be Quaker denomination and gain followers. The main theme of his Gospel message was
"Christ has come to teach his people himself"". ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Cultural/ethnic links
The first Quakers lived in 17th century England. After he had a driving vision he travelled to try and
convert as many people to his faith as possible. The countries that he travelled were, the
Netherlands, England and Barbados.
The Quaker society gained many of its followers from England and Wales and its high reached a
peak of 60,000 in 1680, which is 1.8% of the full population at that time. Unfortunately the
population went downhill from there with Quakerism considered blasphemous. In 1662 Quakers
began getting tortured in North America. At this time Blasphemy could be punished by death or
worse torture methods.
The Friends are recognised all over the Globe, but mainly in the UK.

The Quaker Practice : Spiritual Baptism
Thus, being a member of my Quaker in–group involves being prepared to right this particular
misconception and also being willing to explain what Quakerism in fact is. This, I think, is what
makes Quakers different from most other religious denominations in America–we frequently have to
explain who we are and where we came from (what we believe) *"What we believe" goes better
with "practices" below. This creates a strong sense of group identity, for I have to know and be able
to explain my in–group's history and practices at any given moment. With these explanations, I am
constantly reminded that my denomination is unique and that I should carry my membership with
pride. The characteristic of little to no symbolism leads to the next foundational Quaker practice:
spiritual baptism. Quakers believe that water baptism is a public way to express your decision to
follow Christ and that the practice is not wrong, but also not necessary for one to be saved. Spiritual
baptism derives from the Bible verse, "I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes
one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with
the Holy Spirit and fire" (New International Version, Matt. 3.11). This verse was spoken by John the
Baptist, a man who frequently baptized people in the Jordan River. He was describing to those
listening that after the coming of Jesus, there would be a greater baptism than that which used
water–a baptism of the Holy Spirit

Quaker Tongue Bargainings
Is getting branded or getting a tongue boring worth being different or unique? Today, Quakers
("Friends") are considered very friendly and nice people. In the 1600's in New England, Quakers
were treated very unfairly because they were accused of many things and they were frequently
prosecuted. In the 1960's, Quakers were outlawed, imprisoned, exiled, and sometimes executed.
Quakers were not always the greatest people. Quakers would sometimes interrupt worship services,
were not always truthful, and sometimes even yelled and banged pots in the streets. They did this to
make points about their religion. Sometimes, they yelled at and humiliated the people who did not
agree with them. Quakers were known for calling many people names, and stripping off their clothes
in public. Puritans took action and punished the Quakers by public whippings, tongue borings,
banishment, and execution. There were Quakers who did not do these things, and also got
prosecuted for almost nothing. (amybeldingbrown.wordpress.com) ... Show more content on

Alice Paul And The Quaker Family
Alice Paul My name is Alice Paul and I was born January 11, 1885 in Moorestown, New Jersey. I
am the oldest of four children, and belong to a Quaker family. The Quaker values that were taught to

became a criterion that guided me through the rest of my life. Along with gender equality, the
Quakers believe in the need to work for the betterment of society the importance of staying close to
nature, and that all humans are worthy of respect. Some of my fellow suffragists came from a
Quaker background, including Sarah and Angelina Grimke, Lucretia Mott, and Susan B. Anthony.

The Colonial Settlements Of The Quakers
This paper will explore the history of the colonial settlements of the Quakers, who are also known as
the Society of Friends, who settled in New Jersey and Pennsylvania in colonial times. The history
surrounding the establishment and growth of the Quaker colonies of West Jersey and Pennsylvania
will be discussed. William Penn's efforts in establishing the colonies of West Jersey and
Pennsylvania were paramount to Quakers immigrating to America. John Fenwick also played a
major role in founding the colony of West Jersey, which is now known as New Jersey and the later
immigration of Quakers to Pennsylvania. The abolitionist efforts of the Quakers in their fight against
slavery, their equal treatment of slaves and the assistance that they provided to slaves will also be
discussed. Quakers provided shelter, financial support and harbored many slaves so that they could
avoid capture by their owners. Quakers were a large part of the abolitionist movement in the
colonies while slavery was legal. Many Quakers played a role in the Underground Railroad, which
assisted slaves in obtaining their freedom and avoiding capture. The terms "Quaker" and Society of
Friends are interchangeable and will be used throughout this paper accordingly.

"George was born to strict religious parents in Fenny Drayton, Leicestershire. George was self–
educated and attended parish church regularly. He became dissatisfied with the religious practices

experience of God, which he called the 'Inner Light' in 1647. George started to travel all around the
country, preaching and converting people to 'Friends of the Light'" (History of Quakers).
"By 1652 George Fox had been travelling in the Midlands and North of England, turning people into
the Quaker faith. George then met James Nayler, William Dewsbury and Richard Farnsworth, many
of the important early Quakers who would help and spread the religion all around. In Spring of
1652, George climbed Pendle Hill in Lancashire and had a vision of people waiting to be brought in
to the light. This helped George Fox's preaching, and over the years there was around 50,000

Compare And Contrast The Puritans And Quakers
The Puritans and the Quakers are two religious groups that played an important role in the
colonization of America. Both of these groups disliked the church of England and sought to gain
freedom of worship and lifestyle. Therefore, the Puritans and the Quakers are similar to each other
because they both faced persecution and left England to go to America with the goal and hope of
living the life they wanted, gain more opportunity, and to practice their desired religion freely.
The break from the Catholic Church began when King Henry VIII came into conflict with the Pope
over the divorce he wanted to obtain from his wife Catherine of Aragon. After several years of
bickering with the Papacy, Henry VIII eventually separated from the church of Rome to the church
of England. But this new entity, the church of England, was basically the Catholic Church without
the Pope and the monasteries. For the rest of the reign of Henry VIII, and that of following Tudor
monarchs there would be vicious competition between the new Protestants and Catholics for
supremacy. There was also dissension among the Protestants themselves over how far the reform of
the Church should go, and over the course of some years a split began to form between the members
of the Church of England.
In colonial America, two religions dominated its cultural history, the Puritans and the Quakers.

sudden silence for awhile. I did not understand what was going on but I just sat with them, trying to
imagine what would happen next. Later I found out that keeping silent is a way of seeking God's
will in order to make people open to one another. While there was silence, I felt a little
uncomfortable because of the long silence. People may worship entirely without words, but usually
there will be some brief contribution. The silence could be broken quickly, or sometimes last for the

Also when a customer tends to see the same company products everywhere and that too at a slightly
elevate rate, and then the element of 'Buyers illusion' comes into the picture. The customers tend to
believe that the product is priced higher as it is superior in quality and better as compared to other
similar products priced at a lower rate.
Any company prefers to diversify and systematically target and capture certain market segments in
order to provide that segment superior quality service and kill all forms of competition from that
segment. This seems to be the goal of PepsiCo too. It wants to diversify from being a supplier of just
carbonated drinks and branch into fruit drinks. To do this the merger was the ideal option, because

Sony's M&A style would be industry convergence due to the fact that Sony wanted to add software
to its production line to create a greater value chain as Sony believed the industry trend is to be able
to offer hardware and software at the same time. By doing so, Sony decided to acquire CBS records
and Columbia Pictures. At that time, as the value of Japanese yen versus the dollar had increased a
lot, therefore Sony finalized its decision of the two acquisition very quickly. Although Sony was the
first mover in its industry by investing tons of money to integrate its resources, and also hire
executives that understand the business well. However, the synergy that Sony wished to leverage
through the combination of the acquired firms in order to set the new industry standards for the

Emily Howland's Role In The Quakers And Education
Gradually, the Quakers started to rigorously promote education programs and played an important
role in raising the literacy rates among back Northern blacks and raised funds to establish schools in
the South, educating hundreds of blacks. Hugh Barbour and J. William Frost provide statistics in
their book, The Quakers, stating that, in 1866, Quakers were able to open nine new schools in
Columbus, Mississippi and later expanded to Macon, Mississippi (198). Emily Howland was an
abolitionist, educator, and a suffragist born into a family of Quakers in Sherwood, New York, in
1827. Her parents, Slocum and Hannah Howland, played prominent roles in the Society of Friends.
Following in their footsteps, she played an active role in trying to abolish slave and became a
teacher in a school for colored girls from 1857 to 1859. In 1864, she worked in a large camp,
educating the freed slaves in Arlington, Washington. She taught them to read and write and, lin
1867, went on to open an African American in Heathsville, Virginia. Throughout her life, she
promoted education for women and freed blacks.

Who Is Harriet Tubman And The Quakers
Harriet Tubman and The Quakers The Civil War was a monumental time when heroes like Harriet
Tubman and the Quakers showed themselves to the world. Harriet Tubman was famously known for
running the Underground Railroad. The Quakers were an anonymous group of people who fought
against slavery leading up to the Civil War. Harriet Tubman and the Quakers were fearless while
they strived to end slavery.
Harriet Tubman was a very famous women who saved many slaves by rescuing them in the middle
of the night and taking them to the North. She used a pathway called the Underground Railroad.
This path was very risky and secretive and was never found out by plantation owners in the south.
She was a very real threat to plantation owners who did everything they could to secure their slaves.
Harriet Tubman was also an inspiration to women all across the United States. "I could've saved

The Underground Railroad was created and ran by Harriet Tubman. The route was a secret pathway
that navigated through forests and hills. Nobody knew of this path but a few people. In the middle of
the night, operators who worked on the Underground Railroad would come and rescue slaves and
lead them to safety. The only fear was getting caught, if the slaves for one of the trail operators got
caught, the plantation owners would torture them for information. Some of the slaves wanted to turn
back out of fear of getting caught, but the operators warned them that they would be tortured for
information. The Underground Railroad frightened slave owners and plantation owners in the South.

Specifically, the Quakers were ardent about distancing themselves from the Ranters. The Ranters, as
one will see later, were considered the 'scum' of the dissenters, viewed as sexually promiscuous,

John Bunyan characterized them both as focusing on internal revelation and affording ministerial
opportunities to women, an incomprehensible concept. This characterization was not aided by the
rise of the Proud Quakers, a splinter group who indulged in Ranter activities, such as the tendency to
curse excessively. Often utilized by Anglican ministers, the term Ranter became an epithet for
slighting all dissenters. Gerrard Winstanley acknowledges that the Digger movement was "slandered

A Quaker Book Of Wisdom
Simplicity
Simplistic living to me means to live a life free of frivolous details. Wikipedia defines simplicity as
the state or quality of being simple. My husband and I have considered adopting a more simplistic
style of living for a few years now, we are more motivated now to commit to this change. We have
reached a new level of maturity discovering that less is more. I have learned that simplicity is a
virtue and vital to the Quaker faith. Robert L. Smith, author of A Quaker Book of Wisdom wrote, "A
person who is preoccupied with materialistic desires is ill prepared to sit in silence with other
worshippers and listen for the still small voice of God." The Bible confirms this statement,
mentioning that God's voice as quiet as a gentle whisper. I also believe that stillness is necessary
when seeking the voice of God. When you are living a busy lifestyle surrounded by material
possessions, it becomes difficult to hear what God is saying consequently making it easier to grow
distant in your relationship with Him. According to Smith, the fundamental of simplicity includes
asking, "What do I need?" He later adds that, "Acquiring too much stuff can get in the way of
happiness that can obscure what is best in us, leading to boredom and emptiness," (Quaker Book of
Wisdom, Smith).

William Penn was born in London, England in 1644 and eventually became a part of the Quaker
sect after hearing a sermon from Thomas Loe. Quakers, also known as the Society of Friends, is a
religious belief based on Christianity and the acceptance of all walks of life and religious views. In
England, William Penn had previously been involved in sending colonists to the New World but did
not travel himself. King Charles II who had a large loan from Penn's father, settled his debt by
giving Penn a large plot of land in southwest New Jersey. William Penn was officially granted the

Although there were many early leaders in the movement, such as the figure James Nayler, the
Quakers were primarily founded around the teachings and leadership of the singular figure–George
Fox. As a young man, George Fox believed that he received divine revelations or "openings" from
God calling for him to minister and teach amongst the people of England. For Fox, these revelations
became a commission, a belief that he had to fulfill the "work unto which he [God] had appointed
me." Throughout the 1640s, the foundations of Fox's beliefs, which would later be classified as
Quakerism, spread throughout many parts of northern and central England. The adoption of Quaker
beliefs became increasingly prevalent in the towns and villages of these regions. As George Fox

Compare And Contrast Quakers And Puritans
When colonists from Northern Europe obtained land in North America, they did not only create vast
settlements that traded goods between Europe and the Americas but also organized independent
churches that catered to their population. For instance, when the Puritans settled the Massachusetts
Bay in 1630, they developed their own government and rules compared to the Quakers who settled
Pennsylvania in 1681. Both these colonies had many aspects in common but due to the fact that both
settlements had different beliefs, ideals, and contrasting opinions on society, they naturally separated
and created too completely different colonies. For example, John Winthrop was the minister and
leader of the Puritan colony and was a strong believer in conformity ... Show more content on

This is shown greatly in John Winthrop's city upon a hill speech because during this he states that
the Puritans are above every other country and colony by saying, "For we must consider that we
shall be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us. So that if we shall deal falsely with
our God in this work we have undertaken, and so cause Him to withdraw His present help from us,
we shall be made a story and a by–word through the world" (Winthrop, 1630). In other words, what
Winthrop is saying is that if the Puritans as a colony failed it would not only be an embarrassment
but also because they believed that God was upholding their colony they were being watched by
every other country and colony. This clearly shows that the Puritans wished to not only isolate
themselves from the rest of the world but also it shows that the Puritans thought of themselves as a
higher caliber than others. This is very contrasting to the Quakers for several reasons. This is
because the Quakers were accepting of all into their community unlike the Puritans and wished to
not isolate themselves from other countries and colonies but wanted to connect with them. For

Quakers to reject positions in the military which caused them to be imprisoned. Quakers gave
women a higher status in society than other communities. Many women were ministers and nearly

Quakers As Pacifists

  • 1. Quakers As Pacifists In navigating their wartime options, Friends of military age had to consider their identity as Quakers, as pacifists, as members of a local community of believers and of a national community of service. The United States' intense effort to raise a national army to fight the Great War forced many Friends to grapple with, likely for the first time in their young lives, what it meant to be a member of a pacifist organization. This challenged them to define their beliefs and evaluate their relationship to the religious community and the nation of which they were a part. However diverse their paths of service, these individuals are united by their drive to meaningfully contribute to institutions, communities, and ideals that they saw as larger than ...

  • 3. The Perseviction Of The Quakers In England The Quakers formed in England in 1652. Many people today considered the Quakers as radical Puritans because they went to extremes many Puritan convictions. They stretched the deportment of the Puritans into a "glorification of "plainness."". Faithfully they expanded the Puritan concept of a church by the Holy Spirit to the idea of the need of the Spirit in every person. Quakers were severely persecuted in England for daring to drift so far from orthodox Christianity. By 1680, 10,000 Quakers had been imprisoned in England and 243 had died of torture and mistreatment in jail. This fear caused Friends to seek refuge in Rhode Island in the 1670s. In 1681, when Quaker leader William Penn parlayed a debt owed by Charles II to his father into a charter ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 5. Quaker Oats | | Running Head: BRAND EQUITY AND POSITIONING Quaker Oats – Brand Equity and Positioning Abstract Brand equity and positioning are integral parts of any marketing campaign. Any product or service needs to provide value to its customers in order to be successful. A personal interview and research reveal information about the Quaker Oats brand, how it created equity and its position in the market. Having a solid foundation and keeping up with changes in trends and society are the keys to a successful brand.

A brand ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Primarily the loyalty is based on perception, not tangible evidence. Here we can see how important brand equity and positioning can be to a product that is otherwise probably on par with many of its competitors, but the message conveyed by the brand is quite different. Quaker Oats emerged from a turn of the century merger of three milling companies over 130 years ago. It grew to become one of the top companies in the world by providing reliable quality to its first customers. Quaker Oats has been able to build a reputation of offering healthy, wholesome breakfast foods by targeting female supermarket customers. Although advertising has gone from a "warm, healthy breakfast" to delivering messages about "vitamins and minerals essential to a female metabolism" (Standaert, 2003), the target market is the same. Quaker is also hoping to reach nutrition professionals and health–food retailers. According to Indra Nooyi, Chief Executive Officer of Pepsico (parent company of Quaker Oats), they "...do not market to kids under 12..." since they "...do not have a nutritious product..." they feel comfortable marketing to young kids (Farey–Jones, 2010). Quakers are a religious sect noted for purity and an old–fashioned work ethic. Just the name evokes images of vast farmlands that have been worked and harvested by hand and a perceived purity (Brand Marketing Strategy, 2008). In 1877, Quaker began building its brand equity with its trademark ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 7. A History Of The Gilpin Family A history of the Gilpin Family in America From 1685 to 1810 (Change title) The Gilpin family, have been an integral part of American History since their arrival in 1695. The family, who arrived, as part of an initial large wave of Quakers in America, carved out a place in American, more specifically Quaker History. Coming to America, at the invitation of William Penn, and deeply embroiled in significant events in American History, the Gilpin 's were early founders of Pennsylvania. Their Quaker background proved to be of primary importance in precisely how the family participated in important events, like the American Revolution. From their peaceful relations with Indians to their involvement in the American Revolution, their pacifist belief system influenced their action. However, not all members of the Gilpin family remained pacifists. While one member Thomas Gilpin held fast to his Quaker beliefs during the American Revolution, another, Colonel George Gilpin, Became a close confidant of George Washington eventually serving as Pallbearer at Washington 's funeral. . The Quakers were different from many of the settlers of other early American colonies. The Quakers, also known as the Society of Friends, were built upon ideals of pacifism and benevolence. They did not come here as traders or merchants. The Quakers came here for religious freedom, as did many others. However, Quakers, who had experienced persecution in other colonies like ...

  • 9. Quaker Parrots Research Paper Also known as monk parrots or grey–breasted parrots, Quaker parrots are native to South America but have managed to make their home in some U.S. states and European countries, due to their hardiness and ability to endure temperate climates. They measure about 12 inches from head to tail and grow to about the same size as cockatiels. Quaker parrots are naturally green with grey chests, throats and foreheads. They also sport some blue coloring on their primaries and tail feathers. However, you may be able to find different colored quaker parrots that have been bred specifically to give them a blue, white or other different color instead of green. Quaker parrots are incredibly intelligent and you can very quickly teach them how to talk. With the right training, you can even teach them to say things at appropriate times such as only saying "Good morning" when its actually time–appropriate. Quaker parrots are noisy birds and although they usually only communicate at a moderate volume, they will be whistling, chirping and talking all day long – definitely not a pet for those who hate excessive noise. ...

  • 11. The Quakers And The Religious Society Of Friends The Quakers were first founded in the mid–1600s in England and were formerly known as The Religious Society of Friends. They were a very simple and devoted democratic group of people. When they arrived in America, they began to try to settle in Massachusetts. Massachusetts was also where the Puritan colonists had been settling and because they (the Quakers) threatened the Puritan's beliefs in America they gave them and other opposing religions, such as the Baptists, harsh punishments for inhabiting their land which included hanging, fines, whipping, and banishing the people from Massachusetts. The Quakers later moved their efforts to the new land of Pennsylvania. They established their land on "the equality of all persons (including women, blacks, and Indians) before God." They proved this stance of equality by being the "first group of whites to repudiate slavery" of Africans. They also purchased their found land from the Indians that owned it. These actions show that the Quakers truly lived in equality. "Religious freedom was Penn's most fundamental principle." The Quakers never gave an established church for Pennsylvania and allowed almost all religious freedom in its land. Although the Quakers were lenient on race, gender, and religious preference they did have a "strict code of personal morality." They "prohibited swearing, drunkenness, and adultery" among many other activities that they thought were immoral. Many of their beliefs spread throughout America and has ...

Kirkland Quaker Women Reverend Samuel Kirkland, a New Light minister, had a long career as a missionary amongst Native Americans in upstate New York which began before the American War of Independence and continued into the 1790s. His extensive, detailed journals and his role in the founding of Hamilton College have ensured that Kirkland has become one of the most famous missionaries of the late eighteenth century; however, there were several other individuals and groups who were competing with Kirkland for the attention and souls of Native Americans in that area. Of one of those groups, Kirkland wrote: "A minute & just history of the Quaker undertaking, the bigotry, Superstition &partiality which masked almost every Stage of their progress I think would be highly ...

The U.S. government had accrued a $40 million debt fighting the War of Independence, and settlers hungry for Indian land in the west would provide a sorely needed source of income. When Henry Knox became secretary of War in 1789, he implemented a strategy which would come to be known as "expansion with honor." According to Knox, convincing Native Americans to adopt an economy based on the traditional European model would be a far more cost–effective way of separating Indians from their lands. Agriculture required less land than hunting (which, according to Knox and other contemporary Euro–Americans' assumptions, was the Indians' main source of income and sustenance), and so once the Natives were settled onto farms, they would, presumably, gladly sell the surplus lands to the federal government. Not only would the United States gain Indian lands without waging war but, Knox argued, it change would be beneficial for Native Americans. According to popular thought of the time, all societies and cultures belonged to one of four hierarchical stages: hunting, pasturage, agriculture, or ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The Religious Society of Friends, better known as the Quakers, is a Christian society who believes God in is the presence of each and every person. The Religious group was founded in the mid–17th century by George Fox in England. Eventually the group came to America for a better life and religious opportunities. In England, the Quakers beliefs were thought of as dangerous and devilish. Their beliefs were to different from England's version of orthodox Christianity so England started persecuting the group. After 10,000 Quakers had been thrown in to jail and 243 had died from the torture in the jails, they came to America to find refuge.

  • 17. Quakers Beliefs The Protestant Reformation often gets the lion's share of attention when discussing religious reform and renewal during the Early Modern period. However, to state that the Reformation was the only significant shift in the ideology and practice of Christianity would be to greatly undersell the importance of a myriad of religious reformers that denounced the decrepit and outdated relationship between mainstream religious practice and God. For this new wave of religious reformers, the traditions of the mainstream Church (whether Protestant or Catholic) were getting in the way of godly men and women forging a personal relationship with their savior, one in which the individual is brought into the grace of God through a true lasting connection ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Breaking from Protestant tradition, in which church services tended to be muted and formal, Methodist services often included "crying, moaning, and shouting"8. For Methodists, this expression of true rapturous love for God was an outgrowth of the great personal love each person had for his or her creator; for Methodists, loudly and passionately expressing your religious feelings was to embrace God with all of one's being. This was a common thread among many reformers during the time period: the idea that the church services being practiced by the mainstream Protestant church were too far removed from the passionate love of God that many believers felt from within their hearts. Methodism and its focus on personal relationships and contact with God would prove very popular among disaffected Protestants, and would eventually become among the most well–known and populous Protestant ...

  • 19. George Fox: The Quaker Society Origins and history Quakerism was founded by George Fox around the time of the English Civil War (6142–1651), as did many other denominations of christianity. George Fox was annoyed and unsatisfied with the teaching of the Church Of England. He had a strong belief that "there is one, even, Christ Jesus, who can speak to thy condition" (as quoted). His belief became strong enough to convince him that one could have a direct experience with Jesus without the aid of the Church. On Pendle Hill in Lancashire, England, Fox had a vision. "The Lord let me see in what places he had a great people to be gathered" (Quoted). After this act he travelled to preach and teach all of the soon to be Quaker denomination and gain followers. The main theme of his Gospel message was "Christ has come to teach his people himself"". ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Cultural/ethnic links The first Quakers lived in 17th century England. After he had a driving vision he travelled to try and convert as many people to his faith as possible. The countries that he travelled were, the Netherlands, England and Barbados. The Quaker society gained many of its followers from England and Wales and its high reached a peak of 60,000 in 1680, which is 1.8% of the full population at that time. Unfortunately the population went downhill from there with Quakerism considered blasphemous. In 1662 Quakers began getting tortured in North America. At this time Blasphemy could be punished by death or worse torture methods. The Friends are recognised all over the Globe, but mainly in the UK.

  • 21. The Quaker Practice : Spiritual Baptism Thus, being a member of my Quaker in–group involves being prepared to right this particular misconception and also being willing to explain what Quakerism in fact is. This, I think, is what makes Quakers different from most other religious denominations in America–we frequently have to explain who we are and where we came from (what we believe) *"What we believe" goes better with "practices" below. This creates a strong sense of group identity, for I have to know and be able to explain my in–group's history and practices at any given moment. With these explanations, I am constantly reminded that my denomination is unique and that I should carry my membership with pride. The characteristic of little to no symbolism leads to the next foundational Quaker practice: spiritual baptism. Quakers believe that water baptism is a public way to express your decision to follow Christ and that the practice is not wrong, but also not necessary for one to be saved. Spiritual baptism derives from the Bible verse, "I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire" (New International Version, Matt. 3.11). This verse was spoken by John the Baptist, a man who frequently baptized people in the Jordan River. He was describing to those listening that after the coming of Jesus, there would be a greater baptism than that which used water–a baptism of the Holy Spirit ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 23. Quaker Tongue Bargainings Is getting branded or getting a tongue boring worth being different or unique? Today, Quakers ("Friends") are considered very friendly and nice people. In the 1600's in New England, Quakers were treated very unfairly because they were accused of many things and they were frequently prosecuted. In the 1960's, Quakers were outlawed, imprisoned, exiled, and sometimes executed. Quakers were not always the greatest people. Quakers would sometimes interrupt worship services, were not always truthful, and sometimes even yelled and banged pots in the streets. They did this to make points about their religion. Sometimes, they yelled at and humiliated the people who did not agree with them. Quakers were known for calling many people names, and stripping off their clothes in public. Puritans took action and punished the Quakers by public whippings, tongue borings, banishment, and execution. There were Quakers who did not do these things, and also got prosecuted for almost nothing. (amybeldingbrown.wordpress.com) ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Quakers would be prosecuted for things like using "thee" or "thou" instead of "you" because it was considered disrespectful to the Puritans (racc.edu).

  • 25. Alice Paul And The Quaker Family Alice Paul My name is Alice Paul and I was born January 11, 1885 in Moorestown, New Jersey. I am the oldest of four children, and belong to a Quaker family. The Quaker values that were taught to me as a child will carry into my adult years and my work. The Quakers believed in equality, which became a criterion that guided me through the rest of my life. Along with gender equality, the Quakers believe in the need to work for the betterment of society the importance of staying close to nature, and that all humans are worthy of respect. Some of my fellow suffragists came from a Quaker background, including Sarah and Angelina Grimke, Lucretia Mott, and Susan B. Anthony. When I was a child, my mother would take me to suffrage meetings, and there was where I found my passion. I believe that women and men should be treated as equals, and this starts with the women's right to vote. At age sixteen, I entered Swarthmore College, and was at the top of my class. Because of my hard work in the political and economic curriculum, I earned a fellowship to the New York school of Philanthropy. In 1907, I earned my Master's degree in sociology from the University of Pennsylvania. Then, I decided to travel to England to work on another fellowship, social work. I eventually lost interest, and I became a "heart and soul convert" of the Women's Social and Political union in 1909. They were known as the most radical suffrage group in Britain.

  • 27. The Colonial Settlements Of The Quakers This paper will explore the history of the colonial settlements of the Quakers, who are also known as the Society of Friends, who settled in New Jersey and Pennsylvania in colonial times. The history surrounding the establishment and growth of the Quaker colonies of West Jersey and Pennsylvania will be discussed. William Penn's efforts in establishing the colonies of West Jersey and Pennsylvania were paramount to Quakers immigrating to America. John Fenwick also played a major role in founding the colony of West Jersey, which is now known as New Jersey and the later immigration of Quakers to Pennsylvania. The abolitionist efforts of the Quakers in their fight against slavery, their equal treatment of slaves and the assistance that they provided to slaves will also be discussed. Quakers provided shelter, financial support and harbored many slaves so that they could avoid capture by their owners. Quakers were a large part of the abolitionist movement in the colonies while slavery was legal. Many Quakers played a role in the Underground Railroad, which assisted slaves in obtaining their freedom and avoiding capture. The terms "Quaker" and Society of Friends are interchangeable and will be used throughout this paper accordingly.

  • 29. The Early Quakers Quakers "George was born to strict religious parents in Fenny Drayton, Leicestershire. George was self– educated and attended parish church regularly. He became dissatisfied with the religious practices and beliefs, and decided to leave. He then came to the belief that people could have a personal experience of God, which he called the 'Inner Light' in 1647. George started to travel all around the country, preaching and converting people to 'Friends of the Light'" (History of Quakers). "By 1652 George Fox had been travelling in the Midlands and North of England, turning people into the Quaker faith.

Upon completing my education, I hope to work with the government to establish programs that educate people in impoverished areas about how to maintain healthy lifestyles and helps people who have been plagued with the pains of poverty to afford their prescription medications.

  • 33. Compare And Contrast The Puritans And Quakers The Puritans and the Quakers are two religious groups that played an important role in the colonization of America. Both of these groups disliked the church of England and sought to gain freedom of worship and lifestyle. Therefore, the Puritans and the Quakers are similar to each other because they both faced persecution and left England to go to America with the goal and hope of living the life they wanted, gain more opportunity, and to practice their desired religion freely. The break from the Catholic Church began when King Henry VIII came into conflict with the Pope over the divorce he wanted to obtain from his wife Catherine of Aragon. After several years of bickering with the Papacy, Henry VIII eventually separated from the church of Rome to the church of England. But this new entity, the church of England, was basically the Catholic Church without the Pope and the monasteries. For the rest of the reign of Henry VIII, and that of following Tudor monarchs there would be vicious competition between the new Protestants and Catholics for supremacy. There was also dissension among the Protestants themselves over how far the reform of the Church should go, and over the course of some years a split began to form between the members of the Church of England. In colonial America, two religions dominated its cultural history, the Puritans and the Quakers.

During the eighteenth century, unmarried Quaker women were the first to vote, stand up in court, and evangelize; although Quaker women enjoyed rights that women today take for granted, they were most known for their religious radicalism. According to Rufus Jones, a professor at Harvard, the Quakers "felt, as their own testimony plainly shows, that they were not solitary adventurers, but that God was pushing them out to be the bearers of a new and mighty word of Life which was to remake the world, and that the whole group behind them was in some sense embodied in them."

Usually the seating for the meeting on worship is arranged in a circle or square. When I visited, people were seated in circle. This is to help people both to be aware of one another and to be conscious of the fact that they are worshipping together. As soon as people were seated, there was sudden silence for awhile. I did not understand what was going on but I just sat with them, trying to imagine what would happen next. Later I found out that keeping silent is a way of seeking God's will in order to make people open to one another. While there was silence, I felt a little uncomfortable because of the long silence. People may worship entirely without words, but usually there will be some brief contribution. The silence could be broken quickly, or sometimes last for the entire meeting, which is usually an hour or so. In Quaker teaching, anyone may feel called to speak: man, women, child, friends, or first time visitor like I was are welcome.

My husband and I have considered adopting a more simplistic style of living for a few years now, we are more motivated now to commit to this change. We have reached a new level of maturity discovering that less is more. I have learned that simplicity is a virtue and vital to the Quaker faith. Robert L. Smith, author of A Quaker Book of Wisdom wrote, "A person who is preoccupied with materialistic desires is ill prepared to sit in silence with other worshippers and listen for the still small voice of God." The Bible confirms this statement, mentioning that God's voice as quiet as a gentle whisper. I also believe that stillness is necessary when seeking the voice of God. When you are living a busy lifestyle surrounded by material possessions, it becomes difficult to hear what God is saying consequently making it easier to grow distant in your relationship with Him. According to Smith, the fundamental of simplicity includes asking, "What do I need?" He later adds that, "Acquiring too much stuff can get in the way of happiness that can obscure what is best in us, leading to boredom and emptiness," (Quaker Book of Wisdom, Smith).

  • 70. The Quaker Summary The reading presents three hypotheses to explain the causes of the strange sounds known as " The Quaker". The lecture does not agree with the author. He cast doubt on several beliefs that are presented in the text. To begin with, the reading avers that the Oscar Whales are one of the causes. The author mentions that the patrolling area f the submarine is their inhabit. On contrary, the speaker reckons that the suspected area was the whales inhabit, but it is not possible to record the sound from long distance.

  • 72. Compare And Contrast Quakers And Puritans When colonists from Northern Europe obtained land in North America, they did not only create vast settlements that traded goods between Europe and the Americas but also organized independent churches that catered to their population. For instance, when the Puritans settled the Massachusetts Bay in 1630, they developed their own government and rules compared to the Quakers who settled Pennsylvania in 1681. Both these colonies had many aspects in common but due to the fact that both settlements had different beliefs, ideals, and contrasting opinions on society, they naturally separated and created too completely different colonies. For example, John Winthrop was the minister and leader of the Puritan colony and was a strong believer in conformity ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This is shown greatly in John Winthrop's city upon a hill speech because during this he states that the Puritans are above every other country and colony by saying, "For we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us. So that if we shall deal falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken, and so cause Him to withdraw His present help from us, we shall be made a story and a by–word through the world" (Winthrop, 1630). In other words, what Winthrop is saying is that if the Puritans as a colony failed it would not only be an embarrassment but also because they believed that God was upholding their colony they were being watched by every other country and colony. This clearly shows that the Puritans wished to not only isolate themselves from the rest of the world but also it shows that the Puritans thought of themselves as a higher caliber than others. This is very contrasting to the Quakers for several reasons. This is because the Quakers were accepting of all into their community unlike the Puritans and wished to not isolate themselves from other countries and colonies but wanted to connect with them. For example, in William Penn's letter to the Native Americans he states that it would ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 74. The Quaker Religion: 1647 By George Fox The Quaker religion was founded in 1647 by George Fox. He had a realization that members of every religion carried the "inner light of Jesus Christ" (Walton). The first followers of Fox were called "Children of the Light." They did not believe in violence or war, and this belief caused many Quakers to reject positions in the military which caused them to be imprisoned. Quakers gave women a higher status in society than other communities. Many women were ministers and nearly half of missionaries were women (Dandelion). Women were also imprisoned for the same actions as men. After facing persecution in England, Quakers moved to America for religious freedom. In 1827, a schism in the Quaker faith divided the Quakers into Orthodox Quakers and Hicksite ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
