ito ay ang epiko ni gilgamesh na isa sa panitikan sa mundo.. tinatalakay ito upang bigyang bigyang interpretasyon ang suliranin ng mga tauhan sa panitikan. Siya ay itinuturing pinunong may kayabangan at isang abusado. Kung kaya naman ang kanyang nasasakupan ay nananalangin na siya ay magkaroon ng katapat upang mawaksi ang kapalaluhan. Ang panalangin ng mga tao ay sinagot ng mga diyos sa katauhan ni Enkidu. Ito ay kasinlakas ni Gilgamesh subalit ng sila ay nagtunggalian, natalo si Enkidu. Subalit kalaunan, naging sanggang-dikit ang dalawa. Dahil sa pagkakaibigan, naging magkakampi ang dalawa sa pagpapatumba sa mga kalaban tulad ni Humbaba. Subalit dahil sa patuloy na pakikipagdigma ng dalawa, ang mga diyos ay hindi natuwa kaya naman ang isa sa kanila ay nakatakdang mawala, at ito ang naging sanhi ng pagkakaratay ni Enkidu sa mahabang panahon. Dahil sa pagkakaratay ay nagkaroon ng iba’t ibang panaginip si Enkidu na siyang nagbigay ng katuturan sakanya kung bakit niya sinapit ang kinahantungan. Binigyan niya ng paalala si Enkidu na siyang nagundyok upang manalangin ito, subalit sa paglipas ng mga araw, binawian ng buhay si Enkidu. At hindi makakalimutan ni Gilgamesh ang huling tinuran nito “Kaibigan, pinarusahan ako ng mga dakilang diyos at mamamatay akong kahiya-hiya. Hindi ako mamamatay tulad ng mga namatay sa labanan; natatakot akong mamatay, ngunit maligaya ang taong namatay sa pakikipaglaban, kaysa katulad kong nakahihiya ang pagkamatay.” Nalungkot si Gilgamesh sa pagkawala ni Enkidu kung kaya naman pitong araw niya utong ipinagluksa. Matapos ng panahong ito, siya ay nagpagawa ng estatwa upang alalahanin ang yumaong kaibigan.. Anu – ang diyos ama ng langit Ea – ang diyos ng karunungan at nagsilbing kaibigan ng mga mamamayan Enkido – ang matapang na katunggali ni Gilgamesh na kalaunan ay naging matalik niyang kaibigan Enlil – ang diyo ng mundo pati ng hangin. Gilgamesh – pinuno ng Uruk at pangunahing tauhan ng epiko Ishtar – ang tinaguriang reyna ng mundo at diyos ng digmaan at pag-ibig Ninurta – diyos ng alitan Shamash – diyos na kaugnay ng batas ng mga indibidwal at ng araw Urshanabi – manlalakbay sa dagat na tinatawag na kamatayan Utnapishtim – biniyayaan ng walang hanggang buhay Ang aral na matutunan sa epiko ay ang tunay at busilak na pagmamahal at pagpapahalaga sa isang kaibigan na hanggang sa pagkawala nito, walang makatitibag sa tiwala at pagmamahal sa isa’t isa.

Unit 3 Assignment 2: Interview Analysis For this Assignment, please interview at least two (or more) friends, relatives, colleagues, etc. to ascertain answers to the following questions: 1. What impact did the events of 9/11 have on their sense of security/vulnerability? 2. Do they agree or disagree with the U.S. response to the attacks?  Which aspects of the U.S. response do they feel have been most successful and effective?  Which aspects of the U.S. response do they feel have been least effective or even counter- productive?  Do they feel safer now than they did after 9/11? Why, or why not?  What areas of vulnerability do they think have not been addressed that should be? 3. The U.S. is a melting pot; do you believe interaction with people with different religious practices help to enrich the cultural life of our country? Do you feel the events of 9/11 stimulated more interaction with Muslims? Be sure to ask detailed follow-up questions. Here are some suggestions to get you started.  Do they agree or disagree with the term “War on Terrorism”? Do they think the “war” will ever be “won,” and all terrorist threats completely eliminated? If they disagree on the term, what would they suggest as an alternative?  Do they feel civil liberties, including privacy rights, have been curtailed significantly in the wake of the U.S. response? If so, in what way? Is some curtailment of some civil liberties for some individuals a necessary step, even if not ideal? Do they agree with the government’s justifications for wiretapping, etc.?  Do they agree with holding captured suspects indefinitely without charge? Or do they think suspects should enjoy due process and be tried in civilian courts?  What are their thoughts on secret prisons, extraordinary rendition, and the enemy combatants at Guantanamo Bay?  Do they agree with the rationale behind the invasion of either Afghanistan or Iraq or both?  Are citizens of other countries at all justified in their negative view of America’s stand in the world? Write a 3−5-page paper identifying the specific questions on which your interview subjects differ, and articulate the interviewee’s reasoning behind those answers.  Share your opinion on the same questions, and on the subjects’ answers. Did any of their answers change your mind, or cause you to rethink your own opinion? If so, how? If not, why not?  As you analyze your responses to the same questions, think about how these feelings will impact your current or future organization. How will your perspectives toward other cultures and diversity impact your day-to-day actions with an organization? Directions In addition to fulfilling the specifics of the Assignment, a successful paper must also meet the following criteria: • Include a cover page and references page in 10–12 point font (Arial, Courier, and Times New Unit 3 [CJ355: Homeland Security] Roman are acceptable) ...

REL 223 - Religions of the World: East and West Journal Guidelines and Rubric Guidelines The journal is to be an example of the student’s ability to write and analyze the material he or she is reading. An attempt should be made to integrate material from the myriad of books and notes in this course. Journal entries should be made for each of the seven major world religions considered. Your journal should contain complete sentences and be grammatically correct. While you are reading, write down what goes on in your head in "stream of consciousness" style in the margins of your book, in a notebook, or in a computer file. You will be making a record of images, associations, feelings, thoughts, judgments, etc. You will probably find that the record contains:  Questions that you ask yourself about the narrative and events as you read (answer these yourself when you can).  Memories from your own experiences provoked by the reading.  Guesses about how the text might proceed and why.  Reflections on striking moments and ideas in the book.  Comparisons between how you behave and how the author describes actions and behavior.  Thoughts and feelings about content.  Comments on how the story is being told. For example, write any words and phrases that make an impression on you, or motifs/themes which you notice the author using.  Connections to other texts, ideas, and courses. A journal entry consists of two parts: 1. The first part is a direct quotation of the part you noted from the text, copied word for word, and enclosed in quotation marks. Be sure to include the author's last name and the page number of the quotation in parentheses after the quotation. MLA format requires that you use the last name, a space, and then the number, e.g., (Ludwig 89). 2. The second part of the journal entry is a paragraph that explains why you found the passage to be important or interesting. Sometimes students ask questions about the reading, or they explain it, or relate to it in some way. Whatever you do, do not simply summarize the contents of the passage. Instead, go beyond it somehow, analyze it, offer thoughts about why it seems important to you or to others. In essence, by writing about the importance of the passage, you will give it meaning. It is also helpful to explain what is going on in the text at the time of the passage (the context). Some students like to write (1) what is happening in the story, (2) what the passage says, and (3) why the passage is important or interesting. This structure is not necessary, but sometimes it helps you organize your responses. The quality of your thinking and the energy with which you attempt to analyze your reading are the most important aspects of this assignment!

Groups in Action Workbook – Evolution of a Group (Segments 4 and 5) Upon viewing the Groups in Action DVD (Segments 4-5, you will answer workbook questions that emphasize the application of concepts and techniques appropriate to the various stages of a group’s development. As you watch the DVD, you will come to an icon number (17-29). It is at this time that you must stop the DVD and read the text corresponding to the icon number in the workbook. For example, the first icon you will come to is 1: Initial Stage. Stop the DVD and read the text for Icon 1: Initial Stage in your workbook (pp. 20-21). Icon 17: Questions 1 and 2 (p. 59) 1) A member (SusAnne) tells you she wants to work, yet she keeps herself very vague and global. What do you say to her? 2) You are leading a group and ask, “Who wants to work?” There is a long silence and nobody gives any indication of wanting to work. What assumptions might you draw from this situation? What might you say? Icon 19: Questions 2-5 (pp. 61-62) 2) Assume that after Casey disclosed that she was gay, one member of the group said, “Casey, I need to let you know that I have a hard time hearing this, because I am not comfortable with homosexuality.” How would you intervene? 3) In a role play, Casey spoke to her symbolic mother in Vietnamese. As she did so, what did you observe? 4) Would you have any concerns for Casey if she indicated her intention to tell her mother that she is gay? Would you address your concerns with her? Why or why not? 5) What would you say if several group members began pressuring Casey to talk to her mother in real life and let her know about her sexual orientation? Icon 20: Question 2 (p. 63) 2) How would you decide what to focus on with Jyl? Would you focus on her sadness over losing her father? Her issues with men? Her disappointment of not having become a pianist? What would guide you in your decision? Icon 21: Question 2 (p. 64) 2) Given that Jackie has insight into her behavior, would you be inclined to suggest homework to her, and if so, what would this be? Icon 22: Questions 1 and 2 (p. 64) 1) Jacqueline talks about striving to get her mother’s approval. What strategies would you use to facilitate her work? 2) Discuss what you consider to be the pros and cons of the leader being utilized by group members in role play. Icon 23: Questions 1 and 3 (p. 67) 1) How were you personally affected as you observed Darren’s work described above? How might that influence the way you work with him? 3) Assume you are leading the group and after Darren’s work, he announces, “I’m feeling vulnerable and embarrassed. I can’t believe that I lost control like that.” How would you deal with this statement? Icon 24: Questions 3 and 6 (pp. 69-70) 3) Assume that several members displayed anger toward James for having hurt a woman in his life. How would you respond? 6) Observe the nonverbal behavior of James when SusAnne is finished hand ...

Reflective Post Anthony Johnson posted Apr 2, 2020 3:18 PM The readings and assignments throughout this course have been very important in enhancing my skills and knowledge about human resource management both in the public and private sector. Based on these readings, I was able to learn about the various legal measures that have been established to enhance the welfare of employees across the country from the actions of their employers. In addition, the readings and assignments enabled me to learn about the various approaches that are used by the employers to motivate their employees and ramp up productivity. some of the key concepts that I believe are applicable to my work experience, profession, and career plans for the future include the use of total rewards to motivate employees, the role of employment at will and other legislations, as well as the changes that have been made in employment laws to improve the working conditions for the employees. Employee motivation has a key role in ensuring that individuals are able to achieve high standards of performance and productivity. Employers use different approaches to ensure that their employees remain fully committed and satisfied with the workplace environment. Lack of satisfaction is likely to negatively impact their performance, which in turn affects the performance of the entire organization. The various legislations that have been passed by the government such as the employment at will, aim at protecting the interests of both the employees and their employers. From the readings and assignments, I was able to learn the rights and obligations that I have as an individual as well as what I should expect from my employer. Such knowledge is important not only for my present career but also for my future career plans. The government, through the Department of Labor (DoL) has made significant efforts to ensure that the interests of the American employees are adequately protected. At the same time, the government seeks to ensure that the employers are acting in a manner that benefits the economy while focusing on the interests of the employees. Over the years, the regulatory environment has changed, in a bid to adapt to the changes occurring in the workplace. This has ensured that effect HRM practices are adopted across the board thereby enhancing the welfare of all the employees. One key part of the course that helped shape my perception of the role of HRM in the private sector was the Module 3 Assignments. These assignments enabled me to evaluate some of the tasks carried out by the HRM in private organizations and how they rhyme with the practices in the public sector. Based on the assignments, I was able to learn how legislation such as Employment at Will Doctrine, Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), and the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) have impacted the private sector human resource management practices.

Reflective Personal Development Paper (25 Points) 5-to-6 page paper [double-space, APA style] Students will write a narrative essay about your own life, describing the experiences that have shaped your views of race, culture, and issues of diversity and how your life experiences, perceptions, education, and family background have led to your current ideas about teaching and learning diverse student populations. By researching and studying your own family background, it is possible to gain an appreciation about ways in which we share many similarities and differences. As a brief, introductory section of this assignment, try to gather as much information as you can about your family background including religious affiliation, ethnicity, culture, language(s), country of origin, education/occupation and any other information you think is of interest and value. Then, reflect on your own experiences in terms of your cultural reference, your family background, your interactions with others unlike yourself, and other factors determined by your own circumstances and your upbringing. Include SPECIFIC EXAMPLES OF EVENTS AND SITUATIONS that you feel shaped your views on these issues. Be sure to situate your examples in the context of assumptions about schooling and education. Write a five to six page paper [double-space, APA style] recapturing your recollections and emphasizing your experiences with cultural diversity as a student in elementary, secondary, and higher education. Some suggested questions you may want to ask yourself: What messages did I receive growing up a bout what it meant to be a member of my racial/ ethnic group, religious, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic class, etc.? How has these, or later life situations that challenged it, informed the way you interact with students or colleagues or parents, either in or out of your group? Have you been encouraged (or forced) to think about issues like racism, sexism, heterosexism/homophobia, or classism? If so, how did those experiences shape your teaching and/or learning? If not, how has the lack of consideration of those issues informed your teaching and/or learning? What are some of your life experiences, or dimensions of your identity, that give you a unique insight into multicultural issues? What are some of the areas or isms with which you still struggle? What are some of your stereotypes or prejudices? How might you confront them? Try to think deeply about parts of your identity that put you in a privileged group (whiteness for race, maleness for gender, heterosexuality for sexual orientation, uppermiddle class for socioeconomic status, etc.) and the inequities around those areas. Challenge yourself. Use this as an opportunity to practice and model self-critique.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DEPRESSION AND PAIN 5 Relationship Between Depression and Pain Among College Students in Us Kean University Research and Technology 05/08/20 Expected Results Since correlation and regression analysis will be used to test the research hypothesis, it is expected that the results of the research will show there is a positive relationship between depression and pain among college students in the United States. From the literature reviewed, it was clear that chronic pain is a predisposing factor for depression. The results will show that a higher percentage of people who are depressed also experience pain. The results can be summarized using figure 1 below. Figure 1: relationship between pain and depression. The results will show that people who are in pain and depressed often turn to drugs to manage pain. Drug abuse among the depressed people is expected to high as the ability to manage stress is annihilated by pain. It is also expected that the relationship between depression and pain will be pronounced among women participants than among the male counterparts. The coefficient of correlation between pain and depression will be higher in women than in men. People experiencing chronic pain have an escalated risk of experiencing mood disorders such as depression. Another significant proportion with persistent pain suffers from clinical depression. Conversely, depression should also have the ability to increase severity of chronic pain There are other factors such that mediate the relationship between chronic pain and depression. These include religious practices, values and beliefs. Similarly, meditation and prayer can help reduce the strength of the relationship between the two variables. This is in line with the published literature that highlights that positive psychological factors that can be used in helping people adjust to pain and optimism. Hope has been identified as one of the psychological factors that can be used in reducing pain and depression as it increases the likelihood of a person accepting the pain and suffering and hence coping positively. Discussion:Potential Significance of the Results Pain and depression are closely intertwined. As such, there is a positive relationship between chronic pain and depression. Just as depression can cause pain, pain can also cause depression. If not effectively managed, pain and depression can create a vicious cycle where chronic pain worsens the manifesting symptoms of depression. The depression that results also worsens the experiential pain. Women are more vulnerable to depression because they are too emotional. Women have a lower tolerance to pain and hence become easily depressed (Amirifard et al., 2017). This explains why the coefficient of correlation between pain and depression is higher for women and men. It therefore follows that teaching women pain management skills can empower women to avoid getting depress.

Rejepov 1 Rejepov 2 81022 9/11/2018Technology and its impact on our environment 2018 was one of the hottest years of the century. And most people claim that the use of modern technology is the reason for such climate change. However, the government spends millions and millions of money on scientists who are researching on eco-friendly technology and source of energy. James Gustave Speth, then-President of the World Resources Institute, in 1992 wrote an article suggesting a national strategy to combine the goals of a healthy environment and a strong economy. He suggests that we can reduce pollution by recycling waste. This process makes products more affordable for people to buy and use. A year after year the eco-friendly technology is becoming more affordable for people. More people are installing solar panels on the roofs of their houses which helps to reduce the use of eco-harmful sources of energy. Scientists calculated that by the end of the XXI century everyone will be using eco-friendly tech products which will reduce the harm to the environment to zero. Technology requires energy. In the early XX century, the coal was the main source of energy. Years after the coal was changed with oil. In the 1950s scientists started using a nuclear power as a main source of energy. However, none of them are eco-friendly. They deal inevitable damage to our environment, damaging the air we breathe, the atmosphere that protects us from Sun and soil where we plant our vegetables and fruits. The changes scientists started paying attention to the damage we are dealing with the environment in the 1990s. That was the time when scientists started researching on alternative sources of energy. Marine energy, hydroelectric, wind, geothermal and solar power are first renewable and alternative sources of energy. China is one of the first countries to start using renewable energy. In 2004, “The New York Times” published an article which states that the government of China declared by 2010 10 percent of the whole of China’s power will be generated through renewable sources. Indeed, in 2018 China’s 12 percent of power is generated through renewable sources of energy and China is not going to stop on this. Now they are planning to increase that number from 10 percent to 20 by the year 2030. With renewable sources of energy comes the eco-friendly technologies. Some of the tech companies are working on so-called “greenhouses”. This houses are entirely eco-friendly and do not require energy that is harmful to the environment. The price of these houses starts at 75000$ which makes it affordable for people. Also, solar and wind farms are being built which will help to reduce the use of energy sources such as nuclear power. Tech products are more eco-friendly then they were before. For example, phones these days come with Lithium-ion batteries which lasts for years and requires less electricity. Gas powered cars are now being replaced by electric cars which do not produce.

Creating an Ethically Strong Organization CATHERINE BAILEY AND AMANDA SHANTZ Ensuring that all employees clearly understand appropriate ways to address daily ethical issues can prevent your company from spiraling into corporate scandal. When German car manufacturer Volkswagen was caught cheating on its diesel emissions testing regime a few years ago, the subsequent scandal launched numerous lawsuits, cost billions of dollars in fines, and severely harmed the company’s reputation. The actions — and inaction — of dozens of employees at all levels, across divisions and countries, contributed to this disaster, including the software engineers who designed the cheating device, the workers who installed it, the managers who approved the fitting and testing, and the members of the senior leadership team who either orchestrated the scam or simply turned a blind eye. 1 Of course, VW isn’t an isolated example. Consider the costly lapses in judgment at Wells Fargo, 2 for instance, and at Samsung Electronics. 3 Why do such scandals continue, despite the clear moral and financial imperatives for ethical action? And — perhaps more important — what can be done to change matters? Although some argue that people are innately inclined to behave unethically out of self-interest, 4 our research reveals that organizational ethics matter significantly to most employees and managers, and that people want to work for employers whose values and principles are aligned with their own. This suggests that ethical employers are likely to attract and retain ethical employees. 5 What’s more, research has shown a link between ethical leadership and task performance, organizational citizen.

Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy, Vol. 11, No. 1, 2011, pp. 300--313 This paper is part of an ASAP special collection on Social Psychology and Contemporary Immigration Policy Economic Dynamics and Changes in Attitudes Toward Undocumented Mexican Immigrants in Arizona Priscila Diaz,∗ Delia S. Saenz, and Virginia S.Y. Kwan Arizona State University Mexican immigration to the United States comprises an important social issue in contemporary public policy debate, particularly given the recent passage of Arizona’s Senate Bill 1070 (SB 1070). The current study investigated how individuals’ sentiments toward undocumented Mexican immigrants shifted between 2006 and 2009 in Arizona, and also examined economic concomitants to these shifts. Participants included 3,195 culturally diverse students attending a state university in Arizona. They reported their attitudes toward undocumented Mex- ican immigrants regarding housing, employment, values, social welfare, citizen- ship, health care, and education issues. Results show less-positive attitudes as each year progressed among European and Latino Americans, as well as other ethnic minorities. Further, anti-undocumented immigrant sentiment increased as unemployment increased and gross domestic product real growth rate decreased. Ethnic differences emerged in the relative negativity toward undocumented immigrants such that European Americans were less positive towards undocumented Mexican immigrants than Latinos over 4 years. These findings suggest that economic dynamics may beget anti-immigrant sentiment, leading to contentious legislation, such as Arizona’s recent immigration law. “America has constantly drawn strength and spirit from wave after wave of immigrants. . .They have proved to be the most restless, the most adventurous, the most innovative, the most industrious of people.” – Bill Clinton, 42nd U.S. President Nearly all U.S. citizens have roots in other countries from which they, their parents, or one of their ancestors from 300 ye.

REL/133 v8 Hinduism, Jainism, and Sikhism REL/133 v8 Page 2 of 4 Religion Comparison Part 1: Hinduism Overview Hinduism has no founder, but an integration of different beliefs. Its development was influenced by the nomadic Aryan Indo-European races that occupied Northern India. The religions originated from Russia and Central Asia as they attacked the Harappans residing in the area. Veda is the oldest scripture in Hindu that means wisdom and knowledge. It has hymns, prayers and ritual texts introduced during in the ancient times. The secret teachings in Hindu are known as the Upanishads, and it includes the mystical concepts of man and the universe. Hinduism has a term known as Ramayan and is one of the significant Indian tales. Puranas is a vital source used to understand Hinduism, and it includes the legends, gods, and demons. A common feature between Hinduism and other religions is that most of its festivals fall in two classes (Doniger, 2010). There are those who celebrate saints and others celebrating notable scriptural events. Om is a symbol in Hinduism and used in meditation. The swastika is another symbol associated with a negative connotation in other parts across the world while in Hinduism, it is a sign of luck and fortune. Part 2: Compare and Contrast Two Religions Religion 1 Hinduism Religion 2 Jainism Similarities Differences Points of origin Jainism and Hinduism came from India. Moreover, they are all knows as the traditional faiths of the Indians. The existence of Atma The two religions accept the reality of Atma, also known as the soul. They believe in the immortality of the soul. In the contexts of both religions, the physical body can die, but the spirit that inhabits it lives on and leads to reincarnation. The ideas of Moska, Karma, and Reincarnation Jainism and Hinduism both believe in Karma. Karma can refer to the good or bad. They also believe in reincarnation, the idea of life after death (Babb, 2015). Both religions also believe in moska, the liberation from the cycle of life and death. However, the meaning of these concepts is different in each religion. Temples and Idols The religious activities in both religions are similar. They both have temples and conduct idol worshiping. They also have times when they fast as a way of worship and purification of the soul. The concept of Karma In Hindu, Karma is an essence of transgression to atone for blessings to get in the next life. Jains consider Karma a kind of activity that attaches to the soul in each life. While Hindus try to do the right thing to atone for the spiritual debt, Jains follow actions intended to clean the soul of a polluting nature. The idea of Moksha Hindus believe that Moksha and liberation take place where the soul meets the universal soul and results to eternal life in Vishnu’s territory. The Jains considers moksha an activity-less and tranquil that is said to take place in Siddhabhumi. Animal Sacrifices Jainism do not engage in ani.

REL101(WI): World Religions Reflection Paper #2 The Problem of Evil The most formidable challenge a believer in God must face is known as “the problem of evil.” This problem, which goes back to ancient times yet is no less distressing today, asks about the relationship between belief in God and the existence of evil in the world. If God is truly good and cares for us, why do bad things continually happen to good people? How can there be so much unmerited evil and suffering in the world if an all-powerful and all-loving creator governs the universe? Like many other faiths, Judaism has had to confront such questions head on. While much of Jewish history is full of pain and suffering, nothing has tested the Jewish faith like the mass slaughter of Jews during the Holocaust (or Shoah). Given God’s covenantal promise of a blessed existence and God’s declaration that the Jews are his “chosen people,” many wonder today how they can possibly square the extermination of 6 million such people with belief in a deity who is said to be both compassionate and just. For this second Reflection Paper, you are asked to weigh in on this conflicted debate. Before you begin to write, consider the discussion of Judaism in class, read carefully the article “The Problem of Evil” posted under “Course Materials” on Blackboard, and research at least two other articles of your choice that address this topic. Then, in your paper, expand this difficult issue to all of the Western religions and offer your best insights on the ongoing attempt to make sense of the problem of evil. If you are a believer, how do you reconcile your belief in an all-powerful, all-loving God and the immense evil that surrounds us? Which of the many solutions to the problem of evil (officially known a “theodicy”), do you find convincing? If you are not committed to a religious belief, what is your opinion about the problem of evil? Is this problem great enough to lead one to atheism, as many have argued? Is one of the counterarguments presented in this discussion particularly powerful? The Problem of Evil Introduction: The Great Problem We live in a world in shadow. It’s a fact, noted by every religion and belief system throughout history, that suffering plagues the human condition. Some of us experience far more pain than others, but it’s something we must all face during our lives. Possibly even worse than the existence of suffering is the randomness with which it strikes—often in the lives of people who have done nothing to deserve it—and our too-frequent powerlessness to help the afflicted innocent. The great and terrible fact of suffering has been humanity’s constant companion. Our history as a species is a long, slow climb up from the darkness, punctuated by much faltering, backsliding, and frustration. For thousands of years of human history, every day was a struggle to stay alive. Plagues and epidemics swept continents like wildfire. Natural disasters led to the collapse of great empires..

REL 212 WEEK 7 DQ Week 7 Discussion The roots of Christianity and the growth of this religion. Please respond to the following: Main discussion questions for the week: We have seen/suggested that Zoroastrianism influenced Judaism. Jesus was a Jew and used the Jewish scripture when he taught. Some even say that Christianity is a sect of Judaism (see Rabbi Norman Solomon, Judaism: A Very Short Introduction). Yet, most Christians claim that their religion is unique. · Did Zoroastrianism and/or Judaism provide the basis for Christianity or not? · Pick a side and defend it with three (3) reasons. Explain each reason. In our chapter we have seen numerous splits in Christianity: In the Book of Acts; the division between Roman Catholicism and the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Protestant Reformation, and on and on. Modern Christianity is sometimes characterized by the split between followers who believe in the literal interpretation of the Bible and those who believe in a figurative interpretation. · How can one Bible, especially one New Testament, be used to justify so many divisions? · Is one of these divisions/denomination the "right" denominations? Why? Be sure to respond to at least one (1) (BELOW) other student. Samantha Anglin RE: Week 7 Discussion Collapse Top of Form Total views: 13 (Your views: 1) Hi Class! I believe that Zoroastrianism/Judaism provided a basis to Christianity. Since Zoroastrianism did exsist before Christianity, I think this is a major reason why Christianity came about. I will use the example of Hinduism and Buddhism, Buddhism originated mainly from Hinduism (since Hinduism is one of the oldesst realigions) because some people wanted to take some of the philosophies from Hinduism and create their own set of beliefs. Christianity has some of the same basics as Judaism and Zoroastrianism, but they created new philosophies and values to fit the kind of religion that they wanted. Like the religion, there was a basis that was used to start the religion. It was influenced by many factors including religion and culture so there is going to be one bible that started it all. I think that they all use the Bible as the center stone that each new division expands and revolves on. I think that every single sect can believe that their denomination is the 'right' one, but ultimately the only right one would be the one to start it all.But they are all revolving around the same basis, so it really depends on your morals and values as to which one is the 'right' one.
