Assignment 1: The Problems of Evil and Suffering All human beings encounter pain and suffering in life. This can present some difficult questions to organized religions. On some level, all religions answer fundamental questions of human existence, including, "why are we here?" Pain and suffering complicate these basic questions of human existence, whether the religion is monotheistic, polytheistic, or atheistic. Some people endure much more pain and suffering than others. Why is this so? What is the origin of suffering? Is evil external or internal? Does it have any meaning? How should we respond to it? Even more difficult is the problem of moral evil: some people deliberately cause other people to suffer. Why? If there is meaning in the universe, and especially if the universe is ruled by a beneficent deity, how can this be? Write an essay of 1,000 words that examines the basic positions of each of the five religious traditions considering these human questions In your essay, address the following questions: How does each religion respond to the problems of evil and suffering? How are those responses similar? In what ways do the responses differ? What factors account for these differences? Which way of addressing evil is the most similar to your own? What role does reason play in your personal understanding of evil? How does that overlap or contradict with the major religions' uses of reason in explaining evil? Assignment 1 Grading Criteria Maximum Points Introduce how each of the five religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism) responds to or address the problems of evil and suffering. 68 Compare the five religions and identify commonalities or similarities between them in addressing both the problem of evil and the problem of suffering. 40 Compare the five religions and identify differences between the five religions and how they address the problem of evil and the problem of suffering. 40 Discuss the factors that account for these differences in how the five religions address the problem of evil and the problem of suffering. 40 Describe which way of addressing evil is the most similar to the student's personal belief system. What role does reason play in your personal understanding of evil?

Assignment 1: the sociological viewpoint toward social problems (Due Week 2) Overview One of the most crucial components to this course concerns addressing social problems in society from a sociological viewpoint as opposed to a strictly policy-oriented, psychological, or criminal justice viewpoint. Although many different viewpoints in social science are valid and have a lot of importance, it is equally important for us to understand how sociology looks at the nature of social problems in society today. This paper will enable us to explore why certain social problems seem to be regarded as more significant than others. Our job will be in defining the sociological viewpoint, and choosing one social problem that we think is of high importance. We will build upon the topic we choose in this paper for our second and third writing assignments. Instructions Construct a 2-4 page paper that fully explores each of the following areas: 1) Citing our textbook material, explain how the sociological approach toward social problems differs from other approaches. Why are certain problems considered significant and others are not? 2) Next, choose one social problem that exists in society that you think is particularly serious, and explain it in sociological terms. This social problem should be measurable in some statistical way. (Is it increasing, and if so, how? Among which groups of people, and for how long, etc.?) 3) What might be one important way in which the social problem is currently being addressed in society? 4) Please define and identify at least four concepts from our text relevant to your chosen social problem. 5) Analyze the way in which these concepts help us better understand the nature of the social problem you are discussing. Don’t forget to include proper APA-style citation and reference. (Assignment One is worth 10% of the total grade.) .

Assignment 1: Should the U.S. Convert to a Zero Personal Income Tax? In a recent news article located at http://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/heres-where-your-federal-income-tax-dollars-go-f654971 NBC News reported that the U.S. Government spends $3.6 trillion per year to fund Social Security, Medicare, homeland defense and safety, education, transportation, and the interest on debt obligations. In spite of the services and benefits that the government provides, many taxpayers dread paying income taxes but consider them a necessary evil. Consequently, there is much debate about the inequities contained within the tax code, due to tax shelters and tax credits provided to some taxpayers which thereby increase the tax burden on others. Using the internet, research at least two (2) countries that have a zero income tax rate. Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you: Analyze the way in which the two (2) countries that you have researched provide services and benefits to its citizens without collecting personal income taxes. For the countries that you have chosen, determine whether or not he U.S. could adopt their taxation model without reducing its total amount of revenue generated by collecting personal income taxes from individuals and business. Justify your response. Suggest at least three (3) advantages and three (3) disadvantages of the U.S. adopting a zero income tax model. Provide a rationale for your response. Create a proposal for where the revenue would be derived if the U.S. were to adopt a zero income tax model.

The Primary way in which the IRS would calculate the tax rate in order to ensure that the same level of tax revenue would still be collected. The primary way in which your plan will achieve equity. Speculate on the primary way in which the federal government could make up any shortfalls if it does not collect its targeted revenue from person income taxes, and ascertain the most significant way in which the U.S. Department of the Treasury, through the IRS, can still adhere to its fiscal and monetary policies. Justify your response. Use at least four (4) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Assignment 1: Political Belief Profile The relationship between public opinion and political participation raises many questions associated with how the public thinks, why they behave in the manner they do, and what outcomes in the form of ideological expressions will probably tak e place because of citizens’ behavior in the political scenario. Essentially, “who, what, and where” issues again surface in response to evaluation of political socialization. Political socialization may be expressed in a singular way, depending on the issue of concern, but it is not derived from any single impact throughout the life of American voters and nonvoters. Qualities and conditions such as gender, race, economic status, education, and religion impact voter behaviors. Indeed, whether or not an individual votes, or takes part in any of the varied available options for participation, is closely allied with the political socialization of individuals and even entire socioeconomic groups. The Political Compass Web site ( http://www.politicalcompass.org ) offers a self-test that helps you analyze your personal political views on what the test authors call a “left–right” scale. Take the test and review your results to see where you stand on the economic scale and the social scale. Discuss the results using the following questions: Did your “test result” match what you thought were your political beliefs? What is “politically correct” thinking? Give examples of what might be considered “politically correct” and “politically incorrect.” To what degree do you think your values and beliefs represent the norms, values, and traditions of society? Define your answer using the following Likert scale—extremely common, common, moderately common, uncommon, and extremely uncommon. Write your response in 150–200 words. By Saturday, March 5, 2016 , post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area . Through Wednesday, March 9, 2016 , review and comment on at least three peers’ responses. .
