Does Marriage matter

“If we are hardwired to desire the faithful, permanent, and exclusive love of marriage, why do you think marriage can be so difficult sometimes? How do you think our culture affects the way we view marriage?”

What if you were born as a different gender or ethnicity of what you were actually born (you can choose whether to focus on gender or ethnicity in your post).

Gender and culture are discussed regularly in our textbook. It is discussed in terms of gender differences in intelligence (ch. 7), expression of emotion (ch. 8), and the upcoming chapter on gender and sexuality (ch. 11). Discussion of culture is woven in throughout the entire book and is very important in contextualizing information of many psychological concepts.
What if you were born as a different gender or ethnicity of what you were actually born (you can choose whether to focus on gender or ethnicity in your post). Then answer the following questions.
1) In what ways do you think your life would have been different?
2) Would you have been treated differently by your family? Elaborate.
3) By your friends and peers? By society? Elaborate.
4)Would you have had different interests or personality traits? Elaborate.
5) What do you think contributes to some people’s discomfort in discussing issues of equity and equality (even if you don’t feel uncomfortable, sometimes others do).
6) What is one thing that you can do to help promote equity and equality (whether referring to gender or ethnicity)?

Please elaborate in your responses. Just a few sentences is not enough to thoroughly answer the question. The more detail you can give, the more points you will be awarded. This may be a sensitive topic but I trust that we can discuss this with respect and compassion especially toward those with viewpoints different from our own. And don’t forget to stick to the word count guidelines so that you can help yourself get the full points. Reply to me Mon-Wed and reply to 2 classmates Thurs to Sunday, as always!

The great gatsby

Does the “hero” (central character) In the Great Gatsby Novel embark on a quest in either a physical or spiritual sense?

Your EXPLANATION should be several sentences long and it should include TEXTUAL EVIDENCE (we mean “quotes”)
**To cite textual evidence from the novel, and use the author’s last name and the page numbers provided either in your real copy of the book OR the page numbers provided in our DIGITAL copy of the book that I attached in the files. Either way a parenthetical citation would look like this (Fitzgerald 144) or (Fitzgerald 6), etc.

Religion class

Welcome to the first week of discussions. I hope you all enjoy the readings. I will be making the first post every week in order to demonstrate what I think are the most important aspects of the reading. You not restricted to write on the same subject matter that I address, but your posts must provide analysis of the readings and you will be graded for your ability to convey your thoughts in a clear manner with good writing; you will be graded on grammar and spelling as well. I am not concerned with your opinions regarding the reading, as much as I am concerned with how you approach and think about the material we are discussing.
We looked at number of important scholar’s work this week. Russell McCutcheon is a philosopher of religion and is considered one of the foremost authorities on the study of religion. He is often the editor of edited volumes and introductory textbooks for graduate and undergraduate students alike. Margaret Wiener is an anthropologist that studies indigenous forms of religion in Indonesia, whose religious practices as a result of forms of colonialism and Christian Dutch missionary activity, has been labeled witchcraft. We also read Malcolm Lambert’s “Introduction” to his book on medieval heresy, which is very much like Jennifer Deane’s introduction that we will read next week. However, Lambert’s introduction provides a great lead into Richard Kieckhefer’s article on the close relationship between witchcraft and saint veneration in the late medieval period.
I am most interested in seeing how you deal with notions of identity as it relates to issues of heresy, witchcraft, magic, and orthodox Christianity. As Lambert notes, heresy emerged as a way for disparate Christian theologians to unite under an umbrella understanding that orthodoxy was defined in relation to heresy (Lambert 4-5). The desire to repress heresy led directly to the rise of papal authority, inquisitions, crusades, and religious orders (Lambert 5). In relation to Kieckhefer, we can see how heresy and orthodoxy was a blurred distinction even in the late fourteenth century, where whether or not one was understood as a saint or a witch was the result of a localized, or a “microhistorical context” based on non-doctrinal and ambiguous judgments (Kieckhefer 367). Accusations of heresy and witchcraft were therefore categorically imposed identities from authorities, which conversely fashioned the identities of the orthodox by setting them in opposition to the marginalized. As we will see as the semester continues, the categorical distinctions of orthodoxy set against witchcraft and heresy was the result of a particular worldview in which the world was perceived as being filled with invisible other-than-human persons that could function as either helpers or adversaries. As Wiener notes, “humans are everywhere and always embroiled with nonhumans” (Wiener top of third column first page, numbered as page 10). Wiener also states that early anthropologists such as E.B. Tylor and James George Frazer categorically demonstrated delineations between magic, religion, and science (Wiener middle of second column 10). McCutcheon suggests at the end of his article that it may be a problem to claim non-Western cultures as having religion when such cultures have no concept of the term (McCutcheon last two paragraphs).
My questions, then, for the first week’s readings are:
In terms of the Wiener and Kieckhefer articles, are these categories of magic, religion, science, witchcraft, and heresy useful distinctions? Analyzing the other three articles in terms of the McCutcheon article, how does studying religion affect these distinctions, OR what type of affect did colonialism and Christianity have on the study of religion?—or witchcraft, magic, or heresy? For all four articles but particularly the Lambert article, what does the study of religion have to say about how identity is constructed?
You have five hundred words to fashion a post that addresses one or more of these questions or that articulates anything else you found interesting from this week’s readings. Good luck and please notify me immediately if you have any questions.

Conclude by reinforcing the key points and highlighting why the conversation is important in contemporary society.
Requirements: A 750-1000 word visual analysis including:

Several detailed supporting examples from the image that explain the rhetorical appeals at work
A clear connection between your way of viewing this image and its context
An explanation of how or if your interpretation of the image fits its companion article’s use or interpretation
This will require quoting and/or paraphrasing from the article to substantiate your claim.
The only sources used in this essay should be your approved image and the article from which it originated.

A strong sense of audience
MLA documentation for all sources (including the image(s) through in-text citation and a Works Cited page
Proofreading and MLA formatting

advertisement bias

Select an advertisement, such as an advertisement on a billboard or in a magazine. Analyze the advertisement using the Print Advertisement Analysis Worksheet. Because you are upper-level students, the expectation is that your worksheet is completed with full, descriptive sentences that do not contain spelling, grammatical, or punctuation errors.
You may choose to download the worksheet, type in your answers, and upload the document through the assignment submission link. Or you may print out the document, write in your answers, scan the document, and upload the document to the submission link. If you write your answers on the worksheet, be sure that your handwriting is legible and clear.
