Why creating one universal definition of religion is so difficult? Comment by Dr. Joseph DeLeon: This is a statement, not a question. In American English, questions usually begin with a verb, in the case of your title, if you wanted to frame the title as a question, you should have written it as:
“Why is creating one universal definition of the notion of religion so difficult? Notice that I highlighted the verb “is” to show its location at the beginning of the sentence.
If you have issues with writing in English, I would highly recommend visiting the Writing Center. There you will find a wonderful group of individuals who are very good at helping students do well with their writing assignments so that they can earn the high grades that they may deserve.
Religion is the most difficult word to define it meaning primarily to various individuals from diverse communities. Every community views the word religion in a clear manner, making it believe the real meaning of the word. The term is usually utilized globally by various individuals asserting own meaning according to their belief. It is an argument that the religion power has to bind a person to a community, course of action in their daily life, culture ideology among other activities that the community undertakes believing that they are religious. Besides this argument, there are different individuals with their arguments that try to elaborate religion, making it difficult to understand the real meaning of the word. Religion is a word with no data or environment that tries to prove its purpose, making it is considered as the creation of many scholar’s study search as Rudolf Otto, James Martineau, Antony Wallace, and James Frazer among others. Comment by Dr. Joseph DeLeon: Your sentence should have been written so that it would read something like this:
Religion is a difficult term to define because it has a different meaning to different individuals around the world. Comment by Dr. Joseph DeLeon: Again, your sentence should have read:
Most communities interpret the term “religion” from their own particular point of view and sincerely believe that their perspective is the most valid.
It would also help if you had identified your source of information regarding this statement. Supporting your opinions and assertions is a requirement in this class. Comment by Dr. Joseph DeLeon: You’ve already asserted this – you are merely repeating yourself. Comment by Dr. Joseph DeLeon: This is not English and I would recommend that you have someone review your entire paper and help you re-write it. I will allow you to have a one-time opportunity to resubmit this MOD ONE assignment. However, all of your other assignments will be checked to make sure that your submissions the University’s college level quality standards and will be graded accordingly.
These individuals have used their life experiences and thoughts to explain the real me.
Dr. Carol Sharicz and Stephen Cummings facilitate a discussion using about new paths to growth and relationships by first locating ourselves on Otto Scharmer's Theory U in each of our marriages (Relationships, Work, and Self - from David Whyte's newest book "Three Marriages"). There was a rich discussion around the affect each "marriage" has on the other marriages and what circumstances act as catalyst for engaging in movement through the "U".

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
Romans 12:2 (New International Version)
So often, we are quick to judge our neighbors and others around us. Today's society has allowed us to forget what Christ has taught us: to love thy neighbor. Romans 12:2 is a blueprint that is set forth to show us how each one of us should transform our character and renew our mind. The biblical perspective recognizes the active opposition of a personal adversary. In the business world, we diversify ourselves with others from all walks of life, not knowing that God has placed each of us together for the common good. Thinking back on your workplace, how do you engage with others from other backgrounds? Do you place judgment on others? Do you reflect your views on social media and other blogging components? Is this right?
Upon successful completion of this discussion, you will be able to:

THE LEADERSHIP
CHALLENGE Kouzes and Posner
“Based upon evidence collected from around the world and over decades, THE LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE
provides guidance on how to lead and inspiration to make the effort.”
—Jeffrey Pfeffer, professor, Stanford Business School,
Kouzes and Posner sug-
gest that “practice” is
what leadership is all
about. Their model, THE
FIVE PRACTICES OF
EFFECTIVE LEADER-
SHIP, is offered as a
guide for all modern day
leaders in all aspects of
administration. The au-
thors found, when re-
searching for their book,
that these five practices
were common among ex-
emplary leaders. This
book is meant to be used
as a tool by leaders to
guide others to reach
their maximum potential.
Kouzes and Posner warn,
however, that in order
to become an effective
guide for others one
must have their own
house in order first.
They suggest and offer
questions by which lead-
ers may challenge them-
selves as to their be-
liefs, practices and abili-
ties. Gayle Hamilton
speaks to this as she
says, ”You can’t follow
someone who isn’t credi-
ble, who doesn’t truly
believe what they are
doing-and how they are
doing it.” Gayle is head
of the Pacific Gas and
Electric Company, one of
the many exemplary
leaders that the authors
have showcased in their
book. Each practice in
the book has with it nu-
merous examples of
leaders at their best.
Along with the Five
Practices, are the Ten
Commitments of Leader-
ship. These are offered
as time-tested strate-
gies through which lead-
ers attain their goals.
1. Find your voice by clarifying
your personal values.
2. Set the example by aligning
actions with shared values.
3. Envision the future by imag-
ining exciting and ennobling
possibilities.
4. Enlist others in a common
vision by appealing to shared
aspirations.
5. Search for opportunities by seeking innovative ways to grow,
change, and improve.
6. Experiment and take risks by constantly generating small
wins and learning from mistakes.
7. Foster collaboration by promoting cooperative goals and
building trust
8. Strengthen others by sharing power and discretion.
9. Recognize contributions by showing appreciation for individ-
ual excellence.

Consider the Audience• Analyzing the audience is cen.docxdonnajames55
Consider
the Audience
• Analyzing the audience is central to the
speechmaking process; consider your
audience at every step of the way in
preparing and presenting your speech.
• Gather information about your audience
by asking questions or surveying them
more formally.
• Summarize and analyze the information
you have gathered.
Select and Narrow Your Topic
• Consider the audience: Who are your
listeners and what do they expect?
• Consider the occasion: What is
the reason for the speech?
• Consider your own interests and
skills: What are your strengths?
Determine Your Purpose
• Decide whether your general speech
purpose is to inform, to persuade, or
to entertain, or a combination of
these goals.
• Decide on your specific purpose:
What do you want your listeners to be
able to do after you finish your speech?
• Use your specific purpose to guide
you in connecting your message to
your audience.
Develop Your Central Idea
• State your central idea for your
speech in one sentence.
• Your central idea should be a single idea
presented in clear, specific language.
• Relate your central idea to your
audience.
Generate Main Ideas
• Determine whether your central idea
can be supported with logical divisions
using a topical arrangement.
• Determine whether your central
idea can be supported with reasons
the idea is true.
• Determine whether your central idea
can be supported with a series of steps.
Gather Supporting Material
• Remember that most of what you
say consists of supporting material such
as stories, descriptions, definitions,
analogies, statistics, and opinions.
• The best supporting material both
clarifies your major ideas and holds
your listeners’ attention.
• Supporting material that is personal,
concrete, and appealing to the listeners’
senses is often the most interesting.
Organize Your Speech
• Remember the maxim: Tell us what
you’re going to tell us (introduction);
tell us (body); and tell us what you
told us (conclusion).
• Outline your main ideas by topic,
chronologically, spatially, by cause
and effect, or by problem and solution.
• Use signposts to clarify the overall
structure of your message.
Rehearse Your Speech
• Prepare speaking notes and practice
using them well in advance of your
speaking date.
• Rehearse your speech out loud,
standing as you would stand while
delivering your speech.
• Practice with well-chosen visual aids
that are big, simple, and appropriate
for your audience.
Deliver Your Speech
• Look at individual listeners.
• Use movement and gestures that fit
your natural style of speaking.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Slide 1: Title: Exploring the Mindfulness: Understanding Its Benefits
Slide 2: Introduction to Mindfulness
Mindfulness, defined as the conscious, non-judgmental observation of the present moment, has deep roots in Buddhist meditation practice but has gained significant popularity in the Western world in recent years. In today's society, filled with distractions and constant stimuli, mindfulness offers a valuable tool for regaining inner peace and reconnecting with our true selves. By cultivating mindfulness, we can develop a heightened awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and surroundings, leading to a greater sense of clarity and presence in our daily lives.
Slide 3: Benefits of Mindfulness for Mental Well-being
Practicing mindfulness can help reduce stress and anxiety levels, improving overall quality of life.
Mindfulness increases awareness of our emotions and teaches us to manage them better, leading to improved mood.
Regular mindfulness practice can improve our ability to concentrate and focus our attention on the present moment.
Slide 4: Benefits of Mindfulness for Physical Health
Research has shown that practicing mindfulness can contribute to lowering blood pressure, which is beneficial for heart health.
Regular meditation and mindfulness practice can strengthen the immune system, aiding the body in fighting infections.
Mindfulness may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity by reducing stress and improving overall lifestyle habits.
Slide 5: Impact of Mindfulness on Relationships
Mindfulness can help us better understand others and improve communication, leading to healthier relationships.
By focusing on the present moment and being fully attentive, mindfulness helps build stronger and more authentic connections with others.
Mindfulness teaches us how to be present for others in difficult times, leading to increased compassion and understanding.
Slide 6: Mindfulness Techniques and Practices
Focusing on the breath and mindful breathing can be a simple way to enter a state of mindfulness.
Body scan meditation involves focusing on different parts of the body, paying attention to any sensations and feelings.
Practicing mindful walking and eating involves consciously focusing on each step or bite, with full attention to sensory experiences.
Slide 7: Incorporating Mindfulness into Daily Life
