Book review: The good Affluence: Seeking God in a Culture of Wealth by John Schneider

to read Good of Affluence: Seeking God in a Culture of Wealth by John Schneider and write a book review. An essential feature of a good book review is the reviewer’s ability to write concisely so that a comprehensive evaluation of the book can be obtained from a brief reading. So, do not write more, write more concisely — find creative ways to communicate your critical evaluation of the book in a short essay.
The point of a scholarly book review is not to summarize the content of the book, but to evaluate critically the author’s purpose, thesis, contentions, and methods of analysis.
The bulk of the review essay will be an evaluation of how convincing was the author’s presentation of his thesis, and a commentary on the book’s contribution to an understanding of important issues related to the Christian faith, money and wealth. Among the features you will want to include in a strong review are:
a brief discussion of the author’s main contention(s)
a discussion of new Christian faith , money and wealth concepts you learned
share a couple examples from the book that you could relate to (quotations from the book should be kept to a minimum, and should rarely exceed one sentence)
discuss any business theories, concepts and/or models you have studied at Eastern University that you question or don’t agree with in light of Schneider’s approach
discuss how the book impacts the way you think about integrating your Christian faith and the unique challenges faced in business that are associated with money and wealth
provide a general critique of the book
What are the strong points or shortcomings of the book?
Who is the intended audience?
Was the information credible?
Would you recommend this book to someone else? Why?
The review should be approximately 1,000 words (roughly 3-4 pages) in length, double-spaced using 12pt Times New Roman font. Do a word count on your word processor. Do not exceed 4 pages. Be sure and proofread, Spell Check works wonders! Grading will be based on the rubric below.

One Drop Rule

Read https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/jefferson/mixed/onedrop.html from James Davis’ book, Who is Black? One Nation’s Definition. The excerpt explains the history of and discusses the concept of the “one drop rule” that impacted Talma Gordon’s life. Many biracial people have chosen to identify with only one race. For example, former President Barack Obama checked only African American/Black on his 2010 census, and although Halle Berry is 50% African American and 50% white and her daughter is 75% white, she states that she believes she, as well as her daughter, is African American. What leads people to favor the one-drop rule? Make sure to use evidence from the excerpt to back up your claims and respond to at least two of your peers.

Testing a thesis about climate change

Test the thesis presented by Oreskes and Conway in Merchants of Doubt and explore how Michael Crichton challenges or complicates the argument of Oreskes and Conway in his essay “Aliens cause global warming”.

Your essays should weigh the evidence and acknowledge what Oreskes and Conway have convincingly argued about the origins of climate-change denial while exploring the limitations of their ideas. Your papers also should use the cases to carefully wrestle with the logic, evidence, and analysis of the theory and use the case studies to highlight whether—and if so how—Oreskes and Conway make
limited or problematic conclusions.

Ultimately, you will be using the case to show us something new about the theory of Oreskes and Conway. Your essay should
introduce a complication into the theory;
help us understand a limitation to the theory;
lead us to redefine an important part of the theory;
refute or counter the theory;
or give us some other important new understanding of the theory.

The essay should be five to six pages double spaced and should cite sources using MLA style.

The movie glory

The Movie Review Project
The Movie Review Assignment is due by the end of week #3.
Movie Review Learning Objectives:
● Describe the context, events, and plot of movie about an event/person/idea which occurred during the time period studied in this class (1400-Civil War)
● Evaluate the accuracy of the movie using primary and secondary sources.
To complete these objectives, you will find a movie to review that is in the time frame of our class and concerns American historical events. You will briefly describe key parts of the film and then compare what you see on the screen to the “real history” that you have researched. At the end of the paper, you will be able to state whether the movie is historically accurate based on your research.
Some details about the project:
● It is worth as much as one of your test grades.
● The total length will need to be at least 1200 words.
● You need to use three credible sources. If you use your textbook, that counts as
one of your three sources.
● Provide a properly formatted Works Cited Page
Your review is to be broken into three sections. The first section will be a description of the movie, with details of the plot and the issues that appear in the movie. Please give the name of the movie, the year it came out, the main characters’ names and who played them in the movie (http://www.imdb.com will help a bit here). Act as if I haven’t seen the movie, and give me enough information to understand what is going on in the movie with the characters. Don’t forget to mention how the movie ends…after all, it is a story that is being told.
In the second section, check your textbook (and other sources) and see if you can find out what “really happened” in history. Your job is to decide based on evidence what was accurate and what was not. Make sure you have specific points or issues that you’ve seen in your sources when you are comparing them to the movie. If someone in the movie gets married, has kids, dies, wins or loses a battle, did that happen in the “real” history? Most of your citations should be in this section. The final section is your personal evaluation of the movie.

Describe why there is such a struggle when addressing end-of-life issues

Assignment:
For this week assignment, write a 1500-word essay addressing each of the following points/questions.
Describe why there is such a struggle when addressing end-of-life issues
What are the differences between allowing a patient to die and physician-assisted suicide?
Discuss the controversy that can occur when considering a patient’s right to know whether a caregiver has AIDS and the caregiver’s right to privacy and confidentiality.
Describe the distinctions among wrongful birth, wrongful life, and wrongful conception. Discuss the moral dilemmas of these concepts
Discuss the arguments for and against partial birth abortions
Discuss why there is controversy over genetic markers and stem cell research
Please combine all of these responses into a single Microsoft Word document for submission. Submit only completed assignments (not partial or “draft” assignments). Be thorough in your responses to adequately address all aspects of each question.
Submit only the assignments corresponding to the module in this section.
Assignment Expectations
Length: 1500 words; answers must thoroughly address the questions in a clear, concise manner.
Structure: Include a title page and reference page in APA style. These do not count towards the minimum word count for this assignment.
References: Use the appropriate APA style in-text citations and references for all resources utilized to answer the questions. Include at least six (6) scholarly sources to support your claims, one for each of the six questions
PLEASE INCLUDE TITLE PAGE, INTRODUCTION AND CONCLUSION. REFERENCE PAGE DOES NOT COUNT TOWARDS WORD COUNT MINIMUM. APA 7TH ED. PLEASE USE HEADERS TO ADDRESS EACH POINTS/QUESTIONS..THANKS

Revolutionary Strongmen (Caudillos, Caciques) Mexican revolution, 1910-1940

Prompt. Read Martín Luis Guzmán, The Shadow of the Strongman (1929), the classic novelistic account of the politics of Mexico’s post-Revolution and of the rise of the Sonoran political dynasty and the cult of the revolutionary strongman. Please write a critical commentary (2 pp. double-spaced) in which you answer the following question:

How “revolutionary” was the Mexican postrevolutionary political system of the 1920s and beyond?

Guidance: Guzmán, a former supporter of Pancho Villa, was a digusted and savage critic of the political state built by the Sonoran generals Álvaro Obregón, Plutarco Elías Calles, Adolfo de la Huerta, and their lackeys in the 1920s and 1930s. What political impulses and methods of rule does he identify? How does he describe the mentality of Mexico’s victorious ruling class? Why do you think that they behave in the way that Guzmán describes? How much of a change do they represent from the political elites from before the Revolution?
Reading the AGUILAR CAMIN ESSAY in BRADING is a good idea as it will nuance your perspective of Guzmán’s critique of the Sonoran regime.

General guidance. This is a concise essay so your argument needs to be focused. Look only for evidence that can be used to ground historical argument. Do not waste the word budget in extended quotations. Refer to the text and any other cited material in footnotes.
