Religious Similarities Despite the constant conflict between Christianity and Islam throughout history, we have seen that there are some great similarities in them. What similar paths did these religions take as they spread from small groups to millions of believers across whole continents? How did they spread from small groups to large swaths of believers? There are many answers to this question, but the best contributions with be specific about the parallels in the history of these two religions rather than their specific beliefs. Then please respond to at least two students with substantive, thoughtful reactions to their ideas. .

Meditations on the First Philosophy (1641)
Meditation II� Of the Nature of the Human Mind; and that it is more easily known than the Body.
The Meditation of yesterday filled my mind with so many doubts that it is no longer in my power to forget
them.� And yet I do not see in what manner I can resolve them; and, just as if I had all of a sudden fallen
into very deep water, I am so disconcerted that I can neither make certain of setting my feet on the
bottom, nor can I swim and so support myself on the surface.� I shall nevertheless make an effort and
follow anew the same path as that on which I yesterday entered, i.e. I shall proceed by setting aside all
that in which the least doubt could be supposed to exist, just as if I had discovered that it was absolutely
false; and I shall ever follow in this road until I have met with something which is certain, or at least, if I
can do nothing else, until I have learned for certain that there is nothing in the world that is certain.�
Archimedes, in order that he might draw the terrestrial globe out of its place, and transport it elsewhere,
demanded only that one point should be fixed and immoveable; in the same way I shall have the right to
conceive high hopes if I am happy enough to discover one thing only which is certain and indubitable.
�I suppose, then, that all the things that I see are false; I persuade myself that nothing has ever existed
of all that my fallacious memory represents to me.� I consider that I possess no senses; I imagine that
body, figure, extension, movement and place are but the fictions of my mind.� What, then, can be
esteemed as true?� Perhaps nothing at all, unless that there is nothing in the world that is certain.
�But how can I know there is not something different from those things that I have just considered, of
which one cannot have the slightest doubt?� Is there not some God, or some other being by whatever
name we call it, who puts these reflections into my mind? That is not necessary, for is it not possible that I
am capable of producing them myself?� I myself, am I not at least something?� But I have already
denied that I had senses and body.� Yet I hesitate, for what follows from that?� Am I so dependent on
body and senses that I cannot exist without these?� But I was persuaded that there was nothing in all the
world, that there was no heaven, no earth, that there were no minds, nor any bodies:� was I not then
likewise persuaded that I did not exist? Not at all; of a surety I myself did exist since I persuaded myself of
something [or merely because I thought of something].� But there is some deceiver or other, very
powerful and very cunning, who ever employs his ingenuity in deceiving me.� Then without doubt I exist
also if he deceives me, and let him deceive me as much a.

Removal of cash payments at LOCLBus Ltd.OverviewLOCLBus Ltd .docx
Removal of cash payments at LOCLBus Ltd.
Overview
LOCLBus Ltd are a bus operator in the East of England, in the UK. With a fleet size of 60 vehicles, ranging from large minibuses to 60 seater vehicles, they are a well known independent operator in the region, second only to the main contractor, First Group who operate the main local authority contracts in the region.
In response to demand from customers and the local authorities who contract LOCLBus to operate key services on their behalf, the management team have decided at a recent board meeting to stop accepting cash payments on all services where customers pay the driver (so not, for instance on school services) and replace cash with card payments and, they hope an App for mobile devices. The board realise this is a huge change for them, as since their inauguration in 1972, the only way they have accepted payment is via cash and it totals £2.7m per year, around 40% of their revenue (the rest being from local authority payments and other commercial contracts).
You have been recruited, due to your experience in commercial vehicles, to project manage this process, from fact finding to roll out of the
first phase
(card payments on vehicles) to the
full roll out
which will cover Contactless card, Apple Pay and Android payments and their App which will allow customers to buy virtual tickets in advance. The current status is that the project has been discussed, and you have some guidance documents from the board, but nothing has been started yet. You are expected to plan the complete process, and write a discussion report which will go to the board in the form of a 2500 written report and supporting documents outlining the key steps in the project.
On your first day in the office, you bring your trusted guide books;
Project Management by Harvey Maylor
and the
PMBOK Guide from the Project Management Institute
. You will be referencing these as best practice and anything else you think is suitable in terms of sources.
You admit to feeling a little overwhelmed by the new job, but with the tools and techniques you have learnt and guidance from best practice, you think ‘if they sent man to the moon’ you can do anything...
Further information and tips to help you complete and create your project plan:
LOCLBus plan to buy the equipment, that includes card reader, control system and web based storage and part of the project which will be to source a suitable supplier who will partly define the roll out based on their timelines and experience.
A supplier who is of interest to LOCLBus is detailed in Appendix 1
LOCLBus require their own custom mobile app to be developed, this will be branded with the company image and provide fee-free transfer (to the customer) via the different payment methods. They require a plan to be defined, to understand timings and cost for the mobile app development.
A quote has been included in Appendix 2 to help you.
A Risk register will need to be produced .

19.4. RICHMOND PLANET AND WISCONSIN WEEKLY ADVOCATE, EXCERPTS FROM LETTERS FROM AFRICAN AMERICAN SOLDIERS IN THE PHILIPPINES (1899–1900)
Black soldiers serving in the Philippines to put down the insurgency against the United States sent letters to African American newspapers relating their experiences on the islands. Some disheartened soldiers found that the color line extended far beyond the boundaries of the United States, while others saw action in the Philippines as a chance to prove their patriotism and their equality. The first and third letters below were published in the Richmond Planet on December 30, 1899, and December 22, 1900, respectively. The second letter was published in the Milwaukee newspaper Wis- consin Weekly Advocate on May 17, 1900.
Dear Mr. Editor: We received copies of the Planet sent to us at this point. You can imagine how much we appreciated them when we had not seen a paper of any kind for weeks, and as for an Afro-American paper, I can not remember when I last laid eyes on one. . . .
The whites have begun to establish their diaboli- cal race hatred in all its home rancor in Manila, even endeavo.

REMAKING MEXJCO LAW REFORM AS FOREIGNPOLICYDeborah M. W.docx
This document summarizes and critiques rule of law programs promoted by the United States in foreign countries, using the Merida Initiative in Mexico as a case study. It argues that such programs often oversimplify problems, serve U.S. interests over local needs, and can undermine sovereignty. The document outlines the drug violence context in Mexico and the U.S. response through Merida. It then evaluates Merida's rule of law component and critiques the practice of exporting legal systems without consideration of local differences.
Rely on discussion questions (3)I grew up in a small rural .docx
Rely on discussion questions:
(3)
I grew up in a small rural community, where people had a job, not a career. I knew I wanted more than a job. Throughout high school, I figured I would go into the military and make that my career, I eventually got cold feet. I started venturing out into the closest cities seeking the right job. I knew it would mean, I would have to commute an hour coming and going. I knew to gain the status I was seeking; I would have to make some sacrifices. “Sociologists use the term status to describe the responsibilities and benefit a person experiences according to their rank and role in society.” (openstax. P. 92) The status I was seeking was the “achieved status”, the status obtained by choice.
Once I obtained a job that I could turn into a career, I realized one other change was needed, relocating. I knew if I continued to live in a rural community, I could not find myself, my self-worth. Growing up in a rural community tends to put people in a box, they’re placed in a comfort zone with no desire to leave.
Relocating opened doors of opportunities for me, spiritually, economically, and personally. I was introduced to cultures and beliefs I found to be fascinating and confusing. I was able to find the career I had been seeking; however, it came with a disturbing price…racism. I never directly dealt with racism until I started working for the federal government. I felt discrimination from men who felt females should not work in a prison, nor did they feel females should be supervisors. Racism was and still is being displayed every day, especially now with the upcoming election. People still strongly believe African Americans are not entitled to a government job, well guess what, I have five years to go before retirement.

Relpy to discussion questions 1. Social influence is a change.docx
Relpy to discussion questions:
1. Social influence is a change in behavior caused by real or imagined pressure. Social influence differs from persuasion because persuasion is the change in attitudes and not necessarily behavior. The three primary categories of social influence are: conformity, compliance, and obedience. Choose one category then discuss an instance you were affected by it. Could you prevent it from happening now? Why or why not?
2.
I have had to change my attitude many times in my life. One example of a time that was really difficult for me to change my attitude was when I was faced with the fact that my family had to move back to a city near my hometown, that we had previously lived in, that I really disliked. The reason we had to move back was due to a job loss in our current area. A slow economy made it very hard for my husband to find a new job in our current area and in other more desirable areas. My husband was the main provider in our family at the time, because I was a stay at home mom taking care of very young kids. My husband finally was able to land a job after trying very hard for over 5 months. He had been unemployed the entire 5 months and it was getting really scary trying to take care of our family at that point. The job he was able to land was back in the area we had previously lived that I disliked very much. I literally moved back there kicking and screaming, but I knew how hard my husband had tried and that we had literally no other options. That didn’t stop me from feeling very negative and internally having a very bad attitude. I had to learn to focus on the things I was thankful for in order to get my attitude to change. The factors that kept me from changing my attitude sooner were seeing all the negatives instead of the positives involved in the situation. I found myself totally focused in on the negatives for the longest time.
After learning a big lesson from that situation, I would put that knowledge to use when trying to help others change their attitude. I would work to help them see all the positives and all the good that could come out of the situation rather than dwelling on the negatives.

Rely to these to questions1. I believe that we should con.docx
Rely to these to questions?
1. I believe that we should continue collecting data on race in nearly every situation. Data should be collected for census reports, and in studying differences in pay, opportunity, treatment by authority, as well as in intimate (such as marriage statistics) and aesthetic settings. This term, we have touched on all of the ways in which whites benefit from the domination of people of color. By collecting this data, we have proof that there is a racist aesthetic that sets out to depict people of color in a negative way (Desmond and Emirbayer, 2010, p. 364). We know that between 1998 and 2000, the average family income for blacks was $29,000 and $45,000 for whites (p. 157). We know that people of color are far less represented across nearly every form of media than white people. We know that modern segregation exists. Without data being collected, these are things we would not know—things that would continue to go unchanged for decades to come. We have also learned of the supposed “color-blind” badge of honor many tend to wear. Without such data being collected, people could argue that we are in a post-racist society. But because of the data collected on the above topics, we know otherwise. We know that racial equality is still something we need in our society—something to continue striving and fighting for—and collecting this sort of data helps in this fight.
2. The authors, Desmond & Emirbayer, expressed that Neil Gotanda pointed out that colorblindness is, “self-contradictory, because it is impossible not to think about a subject without having first thought about at least a little…To be racially color-blind…is to ignore one has already noticed.” (Desmond and Emirbayer 2010, 41) As we learned early on in our readings, race is societies way of categorizing people into groups. Ethnicity is closely related to race, in that, it summarizes one’s family’s culture and traditions.
With the upcoming 2020 census, race is collected but not ethnicity. Race categorizes how many of what nationality the population is made up of. But after the data is collected, I am not sure if the information is translated correctly. The US is a melting pot of races and ethnicities. People have come from all over the world and have created and raised generations of families. The races have mixed and intertwined so much that it is hard to specify one race or another by itself. I have done a DNA background check and the information that I was provided was where my lineage originated from according to my DNA markers.
I think in that respect, 2020 Census, it is important to collect data as accurately as you can to gain statistical data, provided that the people respond on time and accurately. In medical settings, where race and ethnicity are questioned, may be a defining factor to some illnesses to look out for. There are some races that are predisposed to certain illnesses or health concerns than others. There was a 2018 article in The Washin.

Rely to dis. questions
1. Discuss times that you have been hesitant to change your attitude. What factors increased the likelihood that you would change your attitude? What factors kept you from changing your attitude? How do you try to persuade others to change their attitudes?
2. Social influence is a change in behavior caused by real or imagined pressure. Social influence differs from persuasion because persuasion is the change in attitudes and not necessarily behavior. The three primary categories of social influence are: conformity, compliance, and obedience. Choose one category then discuss an instance you were affected by it. Could you prevent it from happening now? Why or why not?

Relpy to discussion questions:
1. Social influence is a change in behavior caused by real or imagined pressure. Social influence differs from persuasion because persuasion is the change in attitudes and not necessarily behavior. The three primary categories of social influence are: conformity, compliance, and obedience. Choose one category then discuss an instance you were affected by it. Could you prevent it from happening now? Why or why not?
2. I have had to change my attitude many times in my life. One example of a time that was really difficult for me to change my attitude was when I was faced with the fact that my family had to move back to a city near my hometown, that we had previously lived in, that I really disliked. The reason we had to move back was due to a job loss in our current area. A slow economy made it very hard for my husband to find a new job in our current area and in other more desirable areas. My husband was the main provider in our family at the time, because I was a stay at home mom taking care of very young kids. My husband finally was able to land a job after trying very hard for over 5 months. He had been unemployed the entire 5 months and it was getting really scary trying to take care of our family at that point. The job he was able to land was back in the area we had previously lived that I disliked very much. I literally moved back there kicking and screaming, but I knew how hard my husband had tried and that we had literally no other options. That didn’t stop me from feeling very negative and internally having a very bad attitude. I had to learn to focus on the things I was thankful for in order to get my attitude to change. The factors that kept me from changing my attitude sooner were seeing all the negatives instead of the positives involved in the situation. I found myself totally focused in on the negatives for the longest time.
After learning a big lesson from that situation, I would put that knowledge to use when trying to help others change their attitude. I would work to help them see all the positives and all the good that could come out of the situation rather than dwelling on the negatives.

Removal of cash payments at LOCLBus Ltd.OverviewLOCLBus Ltd .docx
Removal of cash payments at LOCLBus Ltd.
Overview
LOCLBus Ltd are a bus operator in the East of England, in the UK. With a fleet size of 60 vehicles, ranging from large minibuses to 60 seater vehicles, they are a well known independent operator in the region, second only to the main contractor, First Group who operate the main local authority contracts in the region.
In response to demand from customers and the local authorities who contract LOCLBus to operate key services on their behalf, the management team have decided at a recent board meeting to stop accepting cash payments on all services where customers pay the driver (so not, for instance on school services) and replace cash with card payments and, they hope an App for mobile devices. The board realise this is a huge change for them, as since their inauguration in 1972, the only way they have accepted payment is via cash and it totals £2.7m per year, around 40% of their revenue (the rest being from local authority payments and other commercial contracts).
You have been recruited, due to your experience in commercial vehicles, to project manage this process, from fact finding to roll out of the
first phase
(card payments on vehicles) to the
full roll out
which will cover Contactless card, Apple Pay and Android payments and their App which will allow customers to buy virtual tickets in advance. The current status is that the project has been discussed, and you have some guidance documents from the board, but nothing has been started yet. You are expected to plan the complete process, and write a discussion report which will go to the board in the form of a 2500 written report and supporting documents outlining the key steps in the project.
On your first day in the office, you bring your trusted guide books;
Project Management by Harvey Maylor
and the
PMBOK Guide from the Project Management Institute
. You will be referencing these as best practice and anything else you think is suitable in terms of sources.
You admit to feeling a little overwhelmed by the new job, but with the tools and techniques you have learnt and guidance from best practice, you think ‘if they sent man to the moon’ you can do anything...
Further information and tips to help you complete and create your project plan:
LOCLBus plan to buy the equipment, that includes card reader, control system and web based storage and part of the project which will be to source a suitable supplier who will partly define the roll out based on their timelines and experience.
A supplier who is of interest to LOCLBus is detailed in Appendix 1
LOCLBus require their own custom mobile app to be developed, this will be branded with the company image and provide fee-free transfer (to the customer) via the different payment methods. They require a plan to be defined, to understand timings and cost for the mobile app development.
A quote has been included in Appendix 2 to help you.
A Risk register will need to be produced .

19.4. RICHMOND PLANET AND WISCONSIN WEEKLY ADVOCATE, EXCERPTS FROM LETTERS FROM AFRICAN AMERICAN SOLDIERS IN THE PHILIPPINES (1899–1900)
Black soldiers serving in the Philippines to put down the insurgency against the United States sent letters to African American newspapers relating their experiences on the islands. Some disheartened soldiers found that the color line extended far beyond the boundaries of the United States, while others saw action in the Philippines as a chance to prove their patriotism and their equality. The first and third letters below were published in the Richmond Planet on December 30, 1899, and December 22, 1900, respectively. The second letter was published in the Milwaukee newspaper Wis- consin Weekly Advocate on May 17, 1900.
Dear Mr. Editor: We received copies of the Planet sent to us at this point. You can imagine how much we appreciated them when we had not seen a paper of any kind for weeks, and as for an Afro-American paper, I can not remember when I last laid eyes on one. . . .
The whites have begun to establish their diaboli- cal race hatred in all its home rancor in Manila, even endeavo.

REMAKING MEXJCO LAW REFORM AS FOREIGNPOLICYDeborah M. W.docx
This document summarizes and critiques rule of law programs promoted by the United States in foreign countries, using the Merida Initiative in Mexico as a case study. It argues that such programs often oversimplify problems, serve U.S. interests over local needs, and can undermine sovereignty. The document outlines the drug violence context in Mexico and the U.S. response through Merida. It then evaluates Merida's rule of law component and critiques the practice of exporting legal systems without consideration of local differences.
Rely on discussion questions (3)I grew up in a small rural .docx
Rely on discussion questions:
(3)
I grew up in a small rural community, where people had a job, not a career. I knew I wanted more than a job. Throughout high school, I figured I would go into the military and make that my career, I eventually got cold feet. I started venturing out into the closest cities seeking the right job. I knew it would mean, I would have to commute an hour coming and going. I knew to gain the status I was seeking; I would have to make some sacrifices. “Sociologists use the term status to describe the responsibilities and benefit a person experiences according to their rank and role in society.” (openstax. P. 92) The status I was seeking was the “achieved status”, the status obtained by choice.
Once I obtained a job that I could turn into a career, I realized one other change was needed, relocating. I knew if I continued to live in a rural community, I could not find myself, my self-worth. Growing up in a rural community tends to put people in a box, they’re placed in a comfort zone with no desire to leave.
Relocating opened doors of opportunities for me, spiritually, economically, and personally. I was introduced to cultures and beliefs I found to be fascinating and confusing. I was able to find the career I had been seeking; however, it came with a disturbing price…racism. I never directly dealt with racism until I started working for the federal government. I felt discrimination from men who felt females should not work in a prison, nor did they feel females should be supervisors. Racism was and still is being displayed every day, especially now with the upcoming election. People still strongly believe African Americans are not entitled to a government job, well guess what, I have five years to go before retirement.

Relpy to discussion questions 1. Social influence is a change.docx
Relpy to discussion questions:
1. Social influence is a change in behavior caused by real or imagined pressure. Social influence differs from persuasion because persuasion is the change in attitudes and not necessarily behavior. The three primary categories of social influence are: conformity, compliance, and obedience. Choose one category then discuss an instance you were affected by it. Could you prevent it from happening now? Why or why not?

I have had to change my attitude many times in my life. One example of a time that was really difficult for me to change my attitude was when I was faced with the fact that my family had to move back to a city near my hometown, that we had previously lived in, that I really disliked. The reason we had to move back was due to a job loss in our current area. A slow economy made it very hard for my husband to find a new job in our current area and in other more desirable areas. My husband was the main provider in our family at the time, because I was a stay at home mom taking care of very young kids. My husband finally was able to land a job after trying very hard for over 5 months. He had been unemployed the entire 5 months and it was getting really scary trying to take care of our family at that point. The job he was able to land was back in the area we had previously lived that I disliked very much. I literally moved back there kicking and screaming, but I knew how hard my husband had tried and that we had literally no other options. That didn’t stop me from feeling very negative and internally having a very bad attitude. I had to learn to focus on the things I was thankful for in order to get my attitude to change. The factors that kept me from changing my attitude sooner were seeing all the negatives instead of the positives involved in the situation. I found myself totally focused in on the negatives for the longest time.
After learning a big lesson from that situation, I would put that knowledge to use when trying to help others change their attitude. I would work to help them see all the positives and all the good that could come out of the situation rather than dwelling on the negatives.

Rely to these to questions?
1. I believe that we should continue collecting data on race in nearly every situation. Data should be collected for census reports, and in studying differences in pay, opportunity, treatment by authority, as well as in intimate (such as marriage statistics) and aesthetic settings. This term, we have touched on all of the ways in which whites benefit from the domination of people of color. By collecting this data, we have proof that there is a racist aesthetic that sets out to depict people of color in a negative way (Desmond and Emirbayer, 2010, p. 364). We know that between 1998 and 2000, the average family income for blacks was $29,000 and $45,000 for whites (p. 157). We know that people of color are far less represented across nearly every form of media than white people. We know that modern segregation exists. Without data being collected, these are things we would not know—things that would continue to go unchanged for decades to come. We have also learned of the supposed “color-blind” badge of honor many tend to wear. Without such data being collected, people could argue that we are in a post-racist society. But because of the data collected on the above topics, we know otherwise. We know that racial equality is still something we need in our society—something to continue striving and fighting for—and collecting this sort of data helps in this fight.
2. The authors, Desmond & Emirbayer, expressed that Neil Gotanda pointed out that colorblindness is, “self-contradictory, because it is impossible not to think about a subject without having first thought about at least a little…To be racially color-blind…is to ignore one has already noticed.” (Desmond and Emirbayer 2010, 41) As we learned early on in our readings, race is societies way of categorizing people into groups. Ethnicity is closely related to race, in that, it summarizes one’s family’s culture and traditions.
With the upcoming 2020 census, race is collected but not ethnicity. Race categorizes how many of what nationality the population is made up of. But after the data is collected, I am not sure if the information is translated correctly. The US is a melting pot of races and ethnicities. People have come from all over the world and have created and raised generations of families. The races have mixed and intertwined so much that it is hard to specify one race or another by itself. I have done a DNA background check and the information that I was provided was where my lineage originated from according to my DNA markers.
I think in that respect, 2020 Census, it is important to collect data as accurately as you can to gain statistical data, provided that the people respond on time and accurately. In medical settings, where race and ethnicity are questioned, may be a defining factor to some illnesses to look out for. There are some races that are predisposed to certain illnesses or health concerns than others. There was a 2018 article in The Washin.

Religious SimilaritiesDespite the constant conflict between Ch.docx
- 1. Religious Similarities Despite the constant conflict between Christianity and Islam throughout history, we have seen that there are some great similarities in them. What similar paths did these religions take as they spread from small groups to millions of believers across whole continents? How did they spread from small groups to large swaths of believers? There are many answers to this question, but the best contributions with be specific about the parallels in the history of these two religions rather than their specific beliefs. Then please respond to at least two students with substantive, thoughtful reactions to their ideas.
