The argument of the “Greater Good”. God has a plan for the world which is unfolding as it should; this involves some suffering at the hands of evil for the arrival at a destination for the greater good of all. This is also called the Ultimate Harmony Theodicy .
 The Augustinian defence, originating from Saint Augustine of Hippo. God created the world as pure and good but it was spoiled by man through his sins and disobedience of God. This is also known as the Original Sin Theodicy, which says that evil came into the world because of humanity's original sin and so is the creation of humanity, not God.
 The  Irenaean  theodicy which was made by Irenaeus, a bishop who died in AD 202. This argues that God gave man free will, in other words the freedom to choose to do good or evil; this allows for the moral development of man.
 The Finite God Theodicy says that God is all-good but not all-powerful and so cannot prevent evil.
"The best of all possible worlds" theodicy, which was thought up by Leibniz in 1710, says that God, because he is an infinitely perfect being, created a world that has the greatest possible balance of good and evil.
 Some forms of reincarnation believe that people suffer evil as a punishment for their wrong-doing in a previous life.
 Contrast Theodicy holds that evil is needed to enable people to appreciate or understand good.
 Warning Theodicy rationalizes evil as God’s warning to people to mend their ways.

After graduating from Dermott High School in May 1971, Alexander moved to Pine Bluff, Arkansas, where he studied architecture at Pines Vocational Technical School, which is now Southeast Arkansas College. One of his earliest series of paintings, the "Dermott Series", depicted his childhood memories of growing up in Dermott,Arkansas. Six of those paintings are now a part of the permanent collection at the Arts and Science Center for Southeast Arkansas in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. His career as a professional artist began when he created several lines of greeting cards in 1991. He called his first line of cards "The Expressions Line", but did not trademark the name. As a result, Hallmark Cards now has used the name on a line of their cards since 1997. His greeting cards are not tied to the Hallmark line in any way. Between 1991 and 1994 he created many drawings, including "Renetta", "Girlfriends", "Cowboy Fiddler", "Young Kennedys", and "Roundup"
. In 1999 Alexander painted his "Detroit Series", a series of paintings of many sites in Detroit, Michigan. The paintings were first shown at the American Black Artist Institute in Detroit.

It includes a painting of Graceland, Elvis Presley's former home, the "Greenville Courthouse" in Greenville, Mississippi, a painting of the famous "Beale Street" in Memphis, and his painting of a "Cotton Farm" among others. Alexander's most popular series of drawings, "The Sixties Series" has been shown in schools, libraries, and art galleries in several cities since it was completed in 1993.

Láadan is a feminist constructed language. Its creator was Suzette Haden Elgin. She believed that Western languages were better for saying what men think than what women think. She created the language to make it easier for women to say what they think. For example, Láadan has many words and suffixes for saying how you feel about what you are saying. It also includes words for saying if you know that what you are saying is true, and if so, how.

The language became part of a series of science fiction books, Native Tongue. In the book, a group of women create Láadan as a way to fight a society ruled by men.

Tones
Sounds

Tones 

Láadan is a tonal language. Some syllables are said in a higher voice or tone than others. There are two tones:
 lo – /lō/ or /lò/, a short, flat, or low tone. Vowels without accent marks (a, e, i, o, u) are said in this tone.
 ló – a short, high tone. Vowels with accent marks (á, é, í, ó, ú) are said in this tone.
Láadan itself is a three-syllable word, LA-a-dan, where the first syllable is said in a high tone.

Vowels 

Láadan has five vowels:
 a – like English calm (/ɑ/).
 e – like English bell (/ɛ/).
 i – like English bit (/ɪ/).
 o – like English home (/o/).
 u – like English boon (/u/).

Consonants
Consonants 

Láadan does not have the consonants p, t, k, g, or s. The consonants b, d, sh, m, n, l, r, w, y, and h are the same as in English. There is also:
 th – always like English think, never like then (/θ/).
 zh – like English pleasure (/ʒ/).
 lh – there is no English sound like this. To say it, a speaker first places their tongue on the roof of their mouth near the teeth. Then they blow air around their tongue. It sounds like a hiss (/ɬ/).

Rules
Most Láadan sentences have three short words called particles:
 a word that says what type of sentence it is. These are like periods, question marks, and exclamation marks, but spoken. They are:
Bíi: says the sentence is a statement.
Báa: says the sentence is a question.
Bó: says the sentence is a command. These are usually not given to anyone other than small children.
Bóo: says the sentence is a request. These are much more common than commands.
Bé: says the sentence is a promise.
Bée: says the sentence is a warning.
 a word that says when the sentence is happening. These are:
ril: says the sentence is happening now (present tense).
eril: says the sentence happened before now (past tense).
aril: says the sentence will happen later (future tense).
wil: says the sentence might happen or should happen (optative).
 a word that says whether the speaker knows the sentence is true and why. These are:
wa: says the speaker knows that the sentence is true because they found it out using their own senses.
wi: says the sentence is obvious.
we: says the sentence happened in a dream.
wáa: says that someone who the speaker trusts told them what is in the sentence.
waá: says that someone who the speaker does not trust told them what is in the sentence.
wo: says that the speaker imagined it or made it up.
wóo: says the speaker does not know whether the sentence is true at all.
In Láadan, the verbs come first. Verbs are the same words as adjectives. There are no articles like an or the. The object of a verb has the suffix -(e)th. It usually comes after the subject. The prefix me- says that the subject of a verb is plural. The word ra means the same thing as English not.
Making new words 

New Láadan words are made by adding prefixes and suffixes to old words. Each part of a word stays the same when it combines with other parts. Because of this, it is called an agglutinative language. The affixes (prefixes and suffixes) can be used to show feelings and attitudes. Many languages can only show these by tone of voice, body language, or roundabout speech.

Pronouns 

Pronouns in Láadan are made of many parts. The letter l is used for I and we. The letter n is used for you. The letter b is used for he, she, it, and they.

The vowel e usually comes after these letters. a can come after them instead to show that someone is loved. If the person is hated, lhe- can be put before the word.

The suffix -zh makes a pronoun plural but less than four. -n makes it plural and greater than four. So lazh means "we, who are few and loved." Lheben means "they, who are many and who I hate."

It is now used in hospitals and research labs around the world.

Early life and career
Samuel Lee Kountz first became interested in medicine at the age of eight, when he went with an injured friend to a local hospital for emergency treatment. He says he was so moved by the way the doctors' helped his friend, that he decided from that moment to become a doctor. During his senior year of high school, Kountz had met Senator J. William Fulbright, who had once been president of the University of Arkansas. The senator was so impressed by Kountz's energy and enthusiasm, that he urged him to consider the medical school at the University of Arkansas, Little Rock. Kountz applied but was turned down. He spent the next two years finishing up his graduate work in chemistry at the university's Fayetteville campus. He did so well that he was awarded a full medical scholarship, and in 1954 became the first black student to be admitted to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.Kountz completed a master's degree in chemistry in 1956; two years later he received his M.D
.D. He spent the next year as an intern with the Stanford Service of San Francisco General Hospital. In 1959, he began his surgical training at the Stanford University School of Medicine. It was at Stanford that he studied in organ transplants, and decided to make transplant surgery his life's work. In 1976 Kountz  performed a kidney transplant on live television, The Today Show and inspired some 20,000 viewers to offer their kidneys to patients who needed them. In 1972 Kountz had been appointed Professor of Surgery and Chairman of the Department at the State University of New York's Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York. He also served as Surgeon-in-Chief of Kings County Hospital. The University of Arkansas awarded him the honorary Juris Doctor in 1973. Doctor Kountz also developed the largest kidney transplant research and training program in the country at the University of California, San Francisco.
Illness and death

Doctor Kountz contracted a brain disease while on a speaking tour in South Africa that left him bedridden and unable to talk or care for himself. His illness was never diagnosed, and he died on December 23, 1981, at the age of 51. At the time of his death, he had personally performed some 500 kidney transplants, the most performed by any physician in the world at that time.
