Read the following scenario:

The community of Springfield (population approximately 100,000) is made up of hardworking, mostly older, factory laborers who contributed to both the city and county growth from the late 1950s through early 2005. Since the plant closed, many of the former workers have little to look forward to. There are few jobs available and they are now aging; most are 60 years of age or older.

The Memorial Hospital has been in existence since the mid-1950s and has several primary care physicians and nurse practitioners, a couple of general surgeons, and one cardiologist, but no cardiac surgeons.

Many nurses are recruited from the nearby community college, and the hospital serves as the facility for clinical rounds in their education.

The community is pretty sedentary, with the exception of an occasional game of horseshoes. Cigarette smoking is prominent.

Serious concerns surround the continued existence of the hospital because many residents seek and obtain health care services elsewhere.

Compare the population of this city to other problem areas using the Healthy People sources. The town’s population is approximately 100,000, making the comparison fairly straightforward.

Using the information provided in the scenario and the:

HCAHPS Data and Healthy People 2020 Data

1.  We’ll start off with some basic reflection questions:

a.  To the best of your understanding, why do Christians read the Bible?

b.  To the best of your knowledge, what sorts of things did Jesus do during his life (i.e., between birth and crucifixion)?

c.  Why do you think Jesus did the sorts of things you mentioned in part b?

2.  Look at 2 Peter 3:14-18. This passage refers to the letters of Paul, which are also found in the New Testament (see Romans – Philemon), and interestingly, refers to Paul’s letters as ‘scripture’. Based on this passage, what might you conclude is the purpose for Christians reading scripture? In other words, what is it supposed to accomplish, in light of what is explicit in this passage?

3.  Look at 2 Timothy 3:16-17. Based on this passage, what are the primary purposes for the reading of scripture (here, presumably, referring to the texts of the Old Testament) in Timothy’s church?

4.  Read Romans 12:14-21. What sorts of concrete behaviors might this passage prompt in today’s Christians? You don’t need to hit every point in the passage. Rather, think of a few, specific examples of how it might look in typical, mundane situations?

Compare Matthew 18:12-14 and Luke 15:3-7. How would you describe the differences in emphasis between these two passages? Make sure you reference specific elements of the passages as you explain this.

/in /by

The ‘Synoptic Gospels’ are Matthew, Mark, and Luke, the first three books of the New Testament. ‘Synoptic’ means something like, ‘seeing together,’ and they are called this because of the many similarities and parallels in their content. In fact, many passages are so similar between these Gospels that they almost certainly have some literary relationship to one another. We will look at some such passages in this assignment.

Below, you will often need to compare multiple passages of scripture. If you find it helpful to be able to copy and paste the text of a given passage, you can do so from www.BibleStudyTools.com (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. Make sure you set the site to use “New Revised Standard,” so it will match our required Bible for this course.

  1. Compare Matthew 18:12-14 and Luke 15:3-7. How would you describe the differences in emphasis between these two passages? Make sure you reference specific elements of the passages as you explain this.
  2. Compare Matthew 5:1-12 and Luke 6:20-26. How would you describe the differences in emphasis between these two passages? Make sure you reference specific elements of the passages as you explain this.
  3. Compare Matthew 24:15-18, Mark 13:14-16, and Luke 21:20-22. If we assume Matthew and Luke both used Mark as a source, how does each one modify Mark’s version of these verses?
  4. Compare Matthew 28:16-20, Mark 16:1-8, and Luke 24:36-53. While you’re looking at Mark 16, have a look at the notes pertaining to the ‘endings’ of Mark.

a) You don’t need to compare these passages in as much detail as you did the passages you read earlier, since the differences are substantial. Just identify the major differences in how each of these Gospels ends.

b) Once you have read the Powell chapters on Matthew (ch. 5) and Mark (ch. 6), identify certain of the themes Powell identifies in these Gospels appear in their endings.

Create a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation that compares these three crime reports. For each of the three, include as complete a description as possible. Which crimes does it cover? How do the report’s authors obtain their data? Are there any shortcomings that a researcher should be aware of before using data from one of these reports?

/in /by

You work at a university and have been assigned to assist a team of criminologists who are visiting from another country. They will be conducting research on crime in the United States, and they are confused by the several different crime reports that are available. You have been asked to instruct them on the features, pros, and cons of the Uniform Crime Reports (UCRs), the National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS), and the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS).

Create a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation that compares these three crime reports. For each of the three, include as complete a description as possible. Which crimes does it cover? How do the report’s authors obtain their data? Are there any shortcomings that a researcher should be aware of before using data from one of these reports?

One of the researchers intends to write an article that documents the number of violent crimes committed in the United States but not reported to the police. Indicate in your presentation which report would be the best source of data for her to use and why.

Try to limit your slides to bullet points and brief sentences wherever possible; if you wish to explain in greater detail, use the “Notes” feature in Microsoft PowerPoint. Your presentation should consist of 8–10 informative slides plus a separate slide for references.

Explain the puzzle of personal identity. Why does Sam deny that he is identical to anyone from six months ago? NB: Explaining the puzzle requires discussion of qualitative similarity and numerical identity. Explain each and explain their difference. Failure to do so will result in loss of points.

/in /by

Intro..

Such gall! Your so-called friend, Sam, borrowed fifty dollars from you over six months ago and is refusing to repay. He was in a bind, so you were happy to help. But he is now flush and needs to make you whole. Yet, in true Sam fashion, he has a philosophical argument that he claims shows that he owes you nothing. According to him, the person who borrowed money from you six months ago is not the same person you call Sam today. Their hair lengths are different. Their skin tone is different. Today’s Sam is also fit, healthy, happy, and employed. The person who borrowed from you is none of these things.

Arguing with Sam in person never gets you anywhere. An email is best. In your email, you examine his argument and try to prove that the Sam from today is, in fact, the very man who borrowed that money from you six months ago. You explain to him the difference between numerical identity and qualitative similarity and use the psychological continuity theory to show how the two Sams are numerically identical.

Task

Write an email to Sam. In your email, do the following:

  1. Explain the puzzle of personal identity. Why does Sam deny that he is identical to anyone from six months ago?
    • NB: Explaining the puzzle requires discussion of qualitative similarity and numerical identity. Explain each and explain their difference. Failure to do so will result in loss of points.
  2. Solve this puzzle by using the psychological continuity theory.
    • NB: This assignment is not asking you to discuss each possible response to the puzzle. Only discuss the psychological continuity theory. Failure to ignore this instruction will result in a loss of points.

Please notate two quotations, each from a different author in  the packet, that you either did not understand fully, or find  interesting and worth discussing. Now that you have thought about these  quotations, what do you think they are trying to express?

/in /by

what is directing

Directing  is the orchestration of the play unifying the set, actors and various  aspects of production into a theatre production. William Ball advises  the directors of combining the play with reality in such a way that the  play is more realistic and audiences amerced in the acts. Ball gives  five main steps in acquiring this, first being preparation were choosing  the right actor for a scene is essential in the outcome. Incubation is  the second one giving the director time for new ideas setting the  challenges and opportunities. The third being a good understanding of  the play or inspirational plot for the play, having only one chance to  tell the story right with the precise actors: ‘first come, first  served.’ Last but not least is the evaluation process or rehearsal were  the opinions and complaints from actors, or any intellectual  confrontations should be avoided. The actualization of the play is the  last as all ideas are brought to life in the play.

 

what is design

Please notate two quotations, each from a different author in  the packet, that you either did not understand fully, or find  interesting and worth discussing. Now that you have thought about these  quotations, what do you think they are trying to express?

In general, how have these readings affected your ideas about  the role of design in theater? Do you have a different sense of what  “good design” means now that you have read this material?

Now that you have thought through the readings, please  explain what you think the main difference is between “Set Design”  versus “Interior Design”? Between “Costume Design” vs. “Fashion Design”?

Your response to these questions will be worth 3 points in your Critical Journals, so please answer them thoughtfully.
