Genesis and The Enuma Elish (50 pts.)
1. Creation myths often make claims about the workings of the natural world. Discuss 3 of these claims as found in Enuma Elish and/or Genesis. What, if anything, do these claims suggest about the culture that produced them and their understanding of the natural world?
2. Secular scholars suggest that Genesis 1 (written around 600 BCE) is most likely a retelling of the older Enuma Elish (written around 2000 BCE). What commonalities between the two do you see? Are they enough to warrant this conclusion? Why? Why not?
3. Identify and discuss 3 differences between Genesis 1 and Genesis 2. Are these differences enough to justify the position that these stories come from different traditions and different authors? Why or why not?
4. Many ancient cultures imagined life as formed in the clay and then quickened by the gods through their blood, their breath, or other means. Discuss the motif of the golem and the fragmenting of the deity. How do they play into the idea of “the god within?” Reference at least 2 works in your response.

Essay:
·
One aspect of the story of Noah and the Flood focuses on God’s punishment. Do you think destroying the world with a flood was justified or do you think it was too extreme? What do you think was God’s rationale in doing so? Why do you think God chose water as the instrument of punishment? Suppose you were in God’s place, what form of punishment would you have chosen? Why? Do you think the animals also deserved to be punished? Why or why not? Finally, think about various punishments given in our society today. Do you think punishments serve any useful purpose?

Another aspect of the story of Noah and the Flood focuses on Noah and his family’s salvation in the midst of God’s punishment. What does this reveal about the character of God? Is God’s sparing of Noah and his family consistent with his desire to destroy the world? Analyze the words/expressions used to describe Noah’s character. What do you think they mean in relation to the kind of person he was? What explanation could there be for the difference in his character from the other people? Finally, we are not told anything regarding the character of Noah’s family. Did they deserve to be saved? If so, why? If not, why not?
·
Both Noah and Abraham exhibited a measure of faith in God. Compare and contrast their faith as found in the assigned pieces. Why do you think they had such faith in God?

Prepare three 7 to 10 minute mini-lessonslectures on myth in .docx
Prepare
three
7 to 10 minute mini-lessons/lectures on myth in our world. Each of your lessons/lectures should be about 900 words long (double-spaced, Times 12-point font, with 1-inch margins). This is not much time, so you will want to be concise but conversational, as this is a presentation rather than an essay.
a) Mini-Lesson/Lecture I: Myth in Culture and the Arts
Examine how a particular myth influenced/inspired something specific in culture or the arts, including but not limited to a work of art, a poem, a religious ritual, a film, a statue, a carving, a religious symbol, a novel, a video game, or a specific TV episode. Compare the original myth with its presentation in the chosen medium.
b) Mini-Lesson/Lecture II: Myths and Values
Choose a specific myth and identify the specific values expressed through it. Explain how the myth functions to uphold, enforce, or reinforce a set of values within its culture/society/religion, to the detriment or benefit of that culture/society/religion.
c) Mini-Lesson/Lecture III: The Impact of Myth
Briefly describe a historical event, a controversy, a world event, a current event, a military group or action, a political event or group, a religious group or action, or a similar phenomenon. Then, show how a specific myth relates to that event, group, or action, as well as examining the impact that the values, attitudes, and ideas imparted by that myth have on the people, ideologies, and points of view in play.
In choosing your phenomenon, considerhistorical or political events that might be said to have myths as their ideological basis, such as the creation of the state of Israel, the Spanish Inquisition, the Salem witch trials, the Holocaust, the reign of Hirohito, Jonestown, the
Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir movement
, the Branch Davidians, jihadist suicide bombers, kamikaze pilots, Manifest Destiny, Heaven's Gate, the Tea Party movement, and so on.
You could also consider founders of religions and heroic culture bearers who have mythic biographies or quest stories in their histories. Think of scriptural material, such as the New Testament gospels, which tell about the life of Jesus of Nazareth; and hero myths that have inspired courageous action, such as the story of Percival and his quest for the Holy Grail.

3) Early archaeologists went searching for physical evidence of the myths they studied, which was due to Heinrich Schliemann's finding of Troy. Was this method of searching for mythology a good idea for searching for artifacts and physical cities? This question is asked because the stories of the myths lasted for about 2600 years before someone went looking for and found the myths of the Greeks. Why didn't someone do this before Schliemann? This idea of "myth-chasing" still goes on, so what kind of modern "myth" do people search for in our present time?

Abraham & Isaac:
·
God’s test for Abraham & Abraham’s reaction
·
God’s intervention & promise to Abraham
Essay:
·
One aspect of the story of Noah and the Flood focuses on God’s punishment. Do you think destroying the world with a flood was justified or do you think it was too extreme? What do you think was God’s rationale in doing so? Why do you think God chose water as the instrument of punishment? Suppose you were in God’s place, what form of punishment would you have chosen? Why? Do you think the animals also deserved to be punished? Why or why not? Finally, think about various punishments given in our society today. Do you think punishments serve any useful purpose? Or are they just a form of control and power by those in authority? Give specific examples to support your answer.
·
Another aspect of the story of Noah and the Flood focuses on Noah and his family’s salvation in the midst of God’s punishment. What does this reveal about the character of God? Is God’s sparing of Noah and his family consistent with his desire to destroy the world? Analyze the words/expressions used to describe Noah’s character. What do you think they mean in relation to the kind of person he was? What explanation could there be for the difference in his character from the other people? Finally, we are not told anything regarding the character of Noah’s family. Did they deserve to be saved? If so, why? If not, why not?
·
Both Noah and Abraham exhibited a measure of faith in God. Compare and contrast their faith as found in the assigned pieces. Why do you think they had such faith in God? Who do you think exhibited greater faith? Why? Analyze faith in your own life/experience. Do you have faith in someone or something? If so, who/what? If not, why not? Would you be willing to go to the extent that Noah and Abraham did? Why or why not? Finally, do you think people today misuse faith or confuse faith with something else? Give specific reasons to support your answer.

Week 4 The Problem of Suffering and God’s Existence and the Mind.docx
Week 4: The Problem of Suffering and God’s Existence and the Mind/Body Problem
Overview
A 2012 Pew survey demonstrated that 68% of Americans believe in the notion of God or a “universal spirit.” This week’s materials will provide you with a portal for examining philosophical arguments for and against God’s existence.
You will investigate one of the primary reasons for skepticism about God’s existence – the problem of suffering. Suffering is part of the human condition, and we have all experienced it in varying degrees. For many, the fact of suffering means it is impossible to believe in an all-powerful, all-good, and all-knowing God.
Richard Rubenstein, a Jewish rabbi and religious studies scholar, is an example. He famously argued that it was no longer possible to believe in God after Auschwitz, for surely an all-good and all-powerful being would have intervened in human affairs to stop the brutal suffering of millions of people (1992). But another rabbi and scholar, Eliezer Berkovits comes to the opposite conclusion. He argues that the problem of suffering, specifically the Holocaust, is not a problem for God, but a problem for human beings (Berkovits, 1973). It was human beings who perpetrated the crimes against humanity, not God. You will wrestle with problem of suffering and determine where you stand on the issue.
You will also explore the mind/body problem. This branch of philosophy raises questions about the relationship between the mind and body. Specifically, we will investigate the nature of the self. At some point in our lives, most of us have asked the question, “Who am I”? This topic will allow you to investigate modern and contemporary conceptions of the self and determine how they might help you better understand the nature of the self.
There are a number of important questions that arise when addressing this topic. Do human beings possess a soul? If so, what is a soul, and how does it differ from a body? Is the soul the essence of who we are as human beings? (In other words, is the soul the nature of the self?) Dualism, most famously popularized by Descartes, maintains that human beings possess an immaterial, rational soul housed in a physical body. Importantly, the soul is the essence of the self.
Dualism allowed Descartes to maintain his commitment to Christianity, but it has been soundly criticized for its failure to account for the interaction between the soul (or mind) and body: how does an immaterial substance like the soul (or the mind) interact with a physical body? A number of alternatives to Cartesian dualism have been proposed. These run along a continuum, ranging from the behaviorism (there is no self/soul) to physicalism (the self is reducible to brain functions). As you work through this material, ask yourself which account provides the best explanation for the nature of the self and why?

I need a paper on1) Scenario Pursuant to the 2010 Health Care R.docx
I need a paper on
1) Scenario: Pursuant to the 2010 Health Care Reform Bill, the United States will be challenged to bring into its health care population some 32 million more patients. Formerly, many of these patients were uninsured. Some of these patients were seen and treated in safety-net hospitals, but mostly in emergency rooms. Reliable, independent studies have shown that this population is low income and is disproportionately made up of ethnic and racial minorities; however, it is important to point out that due to the economic downturn at the turn of the decade surrounding 2010, this 32 million will include a significant number of non-minority unemployed individuals. Consider that health care institutions must move beyond simply taking in and treating the sick and injured who come through the door. In the near future, the health of the community will be measured in terms of low disease burden, high vaccination rates, controlled chronic disease rates, healthier life styles, and a better educated public. Clearly, the impacts to the health care system will have to be addressed.
2) Write a paper (1,250-1,500 words) that describes the roles and responsibilities of health care management in addressing this pressing dilemma. Apply the following questions to generate your conclusions about how you would proceed:
a) How do the considerations under the concept of governance apply?
b) What are the major financial issues being faced?
c) What are the major physical issues being faced?
d) What are the major demographic issues being faced?

I need a 5 page essay for Let The Great World Spin, double spaced. This is the prompt:
One of the themes discussed is storytelling. The importance of of sharing stories is that it often gives a voice to the unheard and beauty to the mundane. How does the author embody this idea in his work?
Consider the author's use of composition as an art form. How does syntax function in illustrating and highlighting story development? In other words, consider the author's use of sense structure, language, grammar, and word order as "characters" with direct influence on how details unravel throughout the text. Also consider how all of the above help to create a mood or theme throughout the novel. For example, certain words or the arrangement of language represent a color, mood , idea, etc.
It may be helpful to select a specific passage, idea, theme, etc. in the text and develop your idea from a perspective that is focused on a centralized idea. However, your approach is completely up tp you. It should be organized and focused on an idea that you found interesting, significant and/or unusual.
That is the prompt. I need a very well-written essay.

• Identify why there are limits on what the manager of change can achieve.
• Recognize how stories of change can illuminate key issues in managing change.

Prepare three 7 to 10 minute mini-lessonslectures on myth in .docx
Prepare
three
7 to 10 minute mini-lessons/lectures on myth in our world. Each of your lessons/lectures should be about 900 words long (double-spaced, Times 12-point font, with 1-inch margins). This is not much time, so you will want to be concise but conversational, as this is a presentation rather than an essay.
a) Mini-Lesson/Lecture I: Myth in Culture and the Arts
Examine how a particular myth influenced/inspired something specific in culture or the arts, including but not limited to a work of art, a poem, a religious ritual, a film, a statue, a carving, a religious symbol, a novel, a video game, or a specific TV episode. Compare the original myth with its presentation in the chosen medium.
b) Mini-Lesson/Lecture II: Myths and Values
Choose a specific myth and identify the specific values expressed through it. Explain how the myth functions to uphold, enforce, or reinforce a set of values within its culture/society/religion, to the detriment or benefit of that culture/society/religion.
c) Mini-Lesson/Lecture III: The Impact of Myth
Briefly describe a historical event, a controversy, a world event, a current event, a military group or action, a political event or group, a religious group or action, or a similar phenomenon. Then, show how a specific myth relates to that event, group, or action, as well as examining the impact that the values, attitudes, and ideas imparted by that myth have on the people, ideologies, and points of view in play.
In choosing your phenomenon, considerhistorical or political events that might be said to have myths as their ideological basis, such as the creation of the state of Israel, the Spanish Inquisition, the Salem witch trials, the Holocaust, the reign of Hirohito, Jonestown, the
Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir movement
, the Branch Davidians, jihadist suicide bombers, kamikaze pilots, Manifest Destiny, Heaven's Gate, the Tea Party movement, and so on.
You could also consider founders of religions and heroic culture bearers who have mythic biographies or quest stories in their histories. Think of scriptural material, such as the New Testament gospels, which tell about the life of Jesus of Nazareth; and hero myths that have inspired courageous action, such as the story of Percival and his quest for the Holy Grail.

Creation of the Universe and Ife (Yoruba)
The Creation (Maya)
Osiris, Isis, and Horus
The Creation of the Titans and Gods
Far East and Pacific Islands

Please choose one of the following questions, and post your resp.docx
Please choose one of the following questions, and post your response of a minimum of 150 words. Be sure that your comments are original, thoughtful, and well developed. This discussion will be open for the whole course, so check back frequently:
1) Most films and popular scholars would say that New Kingdom Egypt is the height of their civilization, but all the "Great Pyramids" and other culturally defining ideas are from the Old Kingdom. Which do you believe is the best period which shows the height of the Egyptians, the Old or New Kingdom Egypt? Or do you think the Middle Kingdom is the height of the Egyptians? To answer this question, choose one building, site, city, or artifact which supports your belief from either the Old, Middle, or New Kingdom. For this topic, you may use an example from the textbook, but you must find supportive information that is not mentioned in the textbook about your example from an external source (website, book, or article) to support your response. Your example could also be something not mentioned in the textbook at all. Please cite your sources for this submission.
Or
2) Discuss which of the Early Greek cultures you would like to have lived in. You may choose from the Cycladic, Minoan, Mycenaean, Athenian, or Spartan. In answering this question, please give reasons why you chose the one you did, and also give one reason for each of the other cultures as to why you would NOT want to live in that culture.
Or
3) Early archaeologists went searching for physical evidence of the myths they studied, which was due to Heinrich Schliemann's finding of Troy. Was this method of searching for mythology a good idea for searching for artifacts and physical cities? This question is asked because the stories of the myths lasted for about 2600 years before someone went looking for and found the myths of the Greeks. Why didn't someone do this before Schliemann? This idea of "myth-chasing" still goes on, so what kind of modern "myth" do people search for in our present time?

·
OT – sacred writings of the ancient Hebrews associated with the religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam
·
All three religions stress ONE God (e.g. first of the Ten Commandments).
·
OT contains a variety of literary genres – stories, poetry, songs, history, prophecy (know any 3)

Abraham & Isaac:
·
God’s test for Abraham & Abraham’s reaction
·
God’s intervention & promise to Abraham
Essay:
·
One aspect of the story of Noah and the Flood focuses on God’s punishment. Do you think destroying the world with a flood was justified or do you think it was too extreme? What do you think was God’s rationale in doing so? Why do you think God chose water as the instrument of punishment? Suppose you were in God’s place, what form of punishment would you have chosen? Why? Do you think the animals also deserved to be punished? Why or why not? Finally, think about various punishments given in our society today. Do you think punishments serve any useful purpose? Or are they just a form of control and power by those in authority? Give specific examples to support your answer.
·
Another aspect of the story of Noah and the Flood focuses on Noah and his family’s salvation in the midst of God’s punishment. What does this reveal about the character of God? Is God’s sparing of Noah and his family consistent with his desire to destroy the world? Analyze the words/expressions used to describe Noah’s character. What do you think they mean in relation to the kind of person he was? What explanation could there be for the difference in his character from the other people? Finally, we are not told anything regarding the character of Noah’s family. Did they deserve to be saved? If so, why? If not, why not?
·
Both Noah and Abraham exhibited a measure of faith in God. Compare and contrast their faith as found in the assigned pieces. Why do you think they had such faith in God? Who do you think exhibited greater faith? Why? Analyze faith in your own life/experience. Do you have faith in someone or something? If so, who/what? If not, why not? Would you be willing to go to the extent that Noah and Abraham did? Why or why not? Finally, do you think people today misuse faith or confuse faith with something else? Give specific reasons to support your answer.

Week 4 The Problem of Suffering and God’s Existence and the Mind.docx
Week 4: The Problem of Suffering and God’s Existence and the Mind/Body Problem
Overview
A 2012 Pew survey demonstrated that 68% of Americans believe in the notion of God or a “universal spirit.” This week’s materials will provide you with a portal for examining philosophical arguments for and against God’s existence.
You will investigate one of the primary reasons for skepticism about God’s existence – the problem of suffering. Suffering is part of the human condition, and we have all experienced it in varying degrees. For many, the fact of suffering means it is impossible to believe in an all-powerful, all-good, and all-knowing God.
Richard Rubenstein, a Jewish rabbi and religious studies scholar, is an example. He famously argued that it was no longer possible to believe in God after Auschwitz, for surely an all-good and all-powerful being would have intervened in human affairs to stop the brutal suffering of millions of people (1992). But another rabbi and scholar, Eliezer Berkovits comes to the opposite conclusion. He argues that the problem of suffering, specifically the Holocaust, is not a problem for God, but a problem for human beings (Berkovits, 1973). It was human beings who perpetrated the crimes against humanity, not God. You will wrestle with problem of suffering and determine where you stand on the issue.
You will also explore the mind/body problem. This branch of philosophy raises questions about the relationship between the mind and body. Specifically, we will investigate the nature of the self. At some point in our lives, most of us have asked the question, “Who am I”? This topic will allow you to investigate modern and contemporary conceptions of the self and determine how they might help you better understand the nature of the self.
There are a number of important questions that arise when addressing this topic. Do human beings possess a soul? If so, what is a soul, and how does it differ from a body? Is the soul the essence of who we are as human beings? (In other words, is the soul the nature of the self?) Dualism, most famously popularized by Descartes, maintains that human beings possess an immaterial, rational soul housed in a physical body. Importantly, the soul is the essence of the self.
Dualism allowed Descartes to maintain his commitment to Christianity, but it has been soundly criticized for its failure to account for the interaction between the soul (or mind) and body: how does an immaterial substance like the soul (or the mind) interact with a physical body? A number of alternatives to Cartesian dualism have been proposed. These run along a continuum, ranging from the behaviorism (there is no self/soul) to physicalism (the self is reducible to brain functions). As you work through this material, ask yourself which account provides the best explanation for the nature of the self and why?

I need a paper on1) Scenario Pursuant to the 2010 Health Care R.docx
I need a paper on
1) Scenario: Pursuant to the 2010 Health Care Reform Bill, the United States will be challenged to bring into its health care population some 32 million more patients. Formerly, many of these patients were uninsured. Some of these patients were seen and treated in safety-net hospitals, but mostly in emergency rooms. Reliable, independent studies have shown that this population is low income and is disproportionately made up of ethnic and racial minorities; however, it is important to point out that due to the economic downturn at the turn of the decade surrounding 2010, this 32 million will include a significant number of non-minority unemployed individuals. Consider that health care institutions must move beyond simply taking in and treating the sick and injured who come through the door. In the near future, the health of the community will be measured in terms of low disease burden, high vaccination rates, controlled chronic disease rates, healthier life styles, and a better educated public. Clearly, the impacts to the health care system will have to be addressed.
2) Write a paper (1,250-1,500 words) that describes the roles and responsibilities of health care management in addressing this pressing dilemma. Apply the following questions to generate your conclusions about how you would proceed:
a) How do the considerations under the concept of governance apply?
b) What are the major financial issues being faced?
c) What are the major physical issues being faced?
d) What are the major demographic issues being faced?

I need a 5 page essay for Let The Great World Spin, double spaced. This is the prompt:
One of the themes discussed is storytelling. The importance of of sharing stories is that it often gives a voice to the unheard and beauty to the mundane. How does the author embody this idea in his work?
Consider the author's use of composition as an art form. How does syntax function in illustrating and highlighting story development? In other words, consider the author's use of sense structure, language, grammar, and word order as "characters" with direct influence on how details unravel throughout the text. Also consider how all of the above help to create a mood or theme throughout the novel. For example, certain words or the arrangement of language represent a color, mood , idea, etc.
It may be helpful to select a specific passage, idea, theme, etc. in the text and develop your idea from a perspective that is focused on a centralized idea. However, your approach is completely up tp you. It should be organized and focused on an idea that you found interesting, significant and/or unusual.
That is the prompt. I need a very well-written essay.

Introduction: Stories of Change
Learning objectives
On completion of this chapter you should be able to:
• Understand why change is both a creative and a rational process.
• Identify why there are limits on what the manager of change can achieve.
• Recognize how stories of change can illuminate key issues in managing change.
• Appreciate the “roadmap” for this book and the multiple “images” approach that underlies it.
