?In an essay of 3000 words, identify and describe three key periods in the history of the Church and analyze their significance for teaching religious education. Make reference to a specific religious education unit or module in your answer. Most of your references should be published books, e-books and journal articles. Website use should be kept to a minimum and should be from recognized institutions or organizations, e.g. Catholic education offices, dioceses, universities. 60%, 3000 words The sacrament of the Holy Eucharist is integral to the dual role of Catholic Education - in teaching religion and in applying the religious life of the school. The Eucharist is "the source and summit of the Christian life" (CCC 1324), drawing together and nourishing the many facets and dimensions of Catholic Christian faith. It must be placed at the heart of Catholic teaching and action. Hence, in the newly published Australian Religion Curriculum, the teaching of the Eucharist among yea

When envisioning an educated person, many characteristics come to mind. I think back to my childhood days and think about the different incidents when I encountered an individual doing things that made me feel they were educated. When I was 15 years old, my high school math teacher always seemed to be able to answer any question my friends and I threw at him. He was sharp. He seemed to always know the right answer. It was as if he had a magical calculator in his mind that was always on overdrive and it could calculate things almost before you finished asking your question! He was amazing. He also always had a clever response that stumped us just when we thought we had him cornered. No matter what we came up with and conjured up in our minds to stump our math teacher, he would always out-smart us and prove to us yet again that he was super educated. To me he was the epitome of an educated person. But what was it about my math teacher that made him seem so educated to me? Sometimes when

?1.1 EXPLAIN THE VARIOUS ELEMENTS OF THE MARKETING PROCESS DEFINITION OF MARKETING K. Lopper et al. (2006) describe Marketing as a means of customer satisfaction. However, Pride and Ferrell(2012) define marketing as a creating, distributing, promoting, pricing process through which goods and services or ideals are exchanged to satisfy customer needs. Meanwhile, the American Marketing Association Board of Directors (October 2007) defines Marketing as the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society. While Doyle, P. (2000), p29. Marketing is the management process that seeks to maximize shareholders' returns by developing relationships with valued customers and creating a competitive advantage. Meanwhile, marketing is when a company produces/renders a particular good or service that he knows that people need or wants and plans how the public member will be

"There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward, you can remove all traces of reality." -- Pablo Picasso Picasso is known for his abstract paintings and is described as a modern artist. Ideas expressed in the handout "Modernism" are used to describe Pablo Picasso's "The Guitar Player" (1910) and is used to define the painting as a modern work of art. The dimension created through the use of cubism and subjective style expressed in Picasso's "The Guitar Player" defines the painting as a modern work of art. "The Guitar Player" is a cubist painting that moves away from the traditional design of a painting by presenting an uncertain image not found in the natural world. The title of the painting is the only indication of what is being presented. Lines used to create a person and a guitar become confusi

Bob Marley said, "Better to die to fight for freedom then be a prisoner all the days of your life." Those words set precedence to some of the most fundamental principles that our nation was built upon. Immigrants who fought to set themselves free of dictatorship built this nation. The sentiment, however, has long since changed. While Illegal Immigrants is considered a threat to our national security and economy, Illegal Immigration has been beneficial in the United States. America can attribute a large share of its labor workforce from undocumented foreigners. Illegal immigrants also add cultural enrichment to our country. Lastly, immigrants contribute to our economy. Over half of American citizens see illegal immigration as a threat to their economy. "A majority (56%) of Americans simultaneously say that illegal immigrants hurt the economy by driving down wages for many Americans (Survey: Citizenship, Values, and Cultural Concerns: What Americans Want From Immigration Reform)." They

Large amounts of natural gas have recently been found in Appalachia, making the process of drilling for fuel more profitable at a time when gas prices are competitive and worth the price of manpower. The Marcellus Shale Play stretches across an area of 95,000 square miles from southern New York across Pennsylvania, into western Maryland, West Virginia, and eastern Ohio. While formed in the Appalachian Basin over 300 million years ago, the Marcellus Shale Play has recently become an economically viable source of natural gas due to technological advances in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, as well as relatively high natural gas prices. Higginbotham 2 The process is relatively straightforward: a drill passes through several layers of crust until it reaches the shale beds holding natural gas, the shale is drilled into horizontally, a shock is sent to fracture the rock which is then flushed with the fracturing fluid (water, several chemicals, and sand) to widen & extend frac

Summary of Facts Mildred owns property in Cleveland, Ohio. While doing estate planning, Mildred had a survey done on her property and found that her neighbor, Cliff, had a picket fence that was 3 feet on over onto Mildred's property. Mildred has her original deed executed over 40 years ago, showing the right and title to that 3 feet that the fence encroaches on. Neither Cliff nor Mildred recall when the fence was built nor can they remember what was there prior to the fence. Cliff claims the right to property by adverse possession. Issues Presented The issue in this case is who has the burden of proof regarding the adverse possession of this property and who will prevail in the event of litigation. Applicable Law The elements of adverse possession, as stated by Busziewicz v. Damion, 140 Ohio App. 3d 126, 130 (Ohio Ct. App., Cuyahoga County 2000), Jack

Culture can be defined as "the shared rules that govern the behaviour of a group of people and enable the members of that group to co-exist and survive."(Burton et. al, 2011, p. 781). There is a wealth of literature to support the idea that cognitive and intellectual testing should vary according to cultural context. Ranzijn (2010 p.14) suggests that each culture has a worldview that is adequate for that culture which makes it valid in its own terms. However, the psychology worldview and the tools by which it measures cognitive and intellectual ability have been largely developed by and for people of Western culture (Ardila, 2005). The enmeshment of Western and Indigenous cultures as a result of colonization has resulted in blurred lines between the two groups' understanding of each other's culture. As Indigenous culture is not homogeneous, nor does it correlate with Western culture on the individualism-collectivism continuum, (but is rather on the opposite end of

Forrest Gump is remembered for comparing life to a box of chocolates; so many to choose from, all equally delicious. Me, I like to think of life as a bowl of salad, offering lots of choices for toppings. My parents supplied me with the base of values and morals that I am thankful for and will use throughout my life. My mom supports me in everything I do, from baking brownies every meet for my swim team to giving me the occasional pep talk. My dad is a model of dedication, integrity, and ambition as he worked hard to create a business that would offer financial security for our family. Both my mom and dad have helped me explore my athletic and creative interests by exposing me to the world of art, of dance, and of swim. I consider myself a well-rounded person due to my parents love a

Brown claims that since their business model is now being challenged due to the growth of the business, the business model now needs to change. The major challenges that Brown faces in creating a process-orientated organisation are: appointing process owners to maintain processes, transitioning to a new management style, maintaining a process infrastructure, and changing management for the transitioning period. A process owner has responsibilities to maintain a process such as the overall design and implementation. A process owner also needs to take care of the budget for the process and it's performance. This process owner is a senior executive that works in collaboration with other department heads and provides training in the workforce. The challenge is to find candidates that can be process owners and providing them with the required knowledge and resources to maintain a process. Therefore less people and more skill will be required when appointing a candidate. Champy states that:

In "Ind AFF," author Fay Weldon uses the setting of the story to portray her theme. Weldon links a comparison to the uncertainty of the narrator's love affair to that of the assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand, for both events take place in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia. In the beginning of the story, the narrator's expectations of fine weather are extinguished by the downfall of rain. The narrator explains this by stating, "This is a sad story. It has to be. It rained in Sarajevo, and we had expected fine weather" (172). The narrator and her lover, a married professor, are on a trip to visit and discuss a historical event which takes place in Yugoslavia. During their discussions, Weldon weaves in historical events that link to the theme of the story. "Two footprints set into pavement which mark the spot where the young assassin Princip stood to shoot the Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife"

(1) The following questions are based on the article entitled "Leadership and Cooperation in Marketing Channels: A Comparative Empirical Analysis of the U.S., Finland and Poland" as well as reviewed the Video Module discussion of Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions both of which went above and beyond the textbook description and application of Hofstede's theory. (A) Define and discuss in SUBSTANTIVE DETAIL EACH of the five dimensions of culture as identified by Hofstede. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Hofstede's research is based on the information of 40 countries, of which he identified the different dimensions on which culture differs. The five dimensions model is widely used in many domains of human social life, and particularly in the field of business. In international marketing it is very useful because it defines national values not only in business context but in general. In each of the five dimensions Hofstede t

The article, "The Negro's Civil War in Tennessee, 1861-1865" by Bobby L. Lovett, was published in "The Journal of Negro History, Vol. 61, No. 1" (Jan. 1976). In the article, Lovett writes about the contributions of black Tennesseans during the Civil War in obtaining their freedom - under some of the worst racial conditions and violence one could imagine. The decision to draft black men for military service was made on June 28, 1861, by the Tennessee State General Assembly, and it was the first such act in the United States. There were three provisions to the act; - all free black males between the ages of fifteen and fifty were eligible for military labor units - each month, the men would receive eighteen dollars plus rations and clothing (no uniforms given) - those who refused military service would be arrested and charged with a punishable misdemeanor. The passing of this act meant that black men were going to war. One strength of Lovett's article is the emphasis o

The battle of Pharsalus, which took place on August 9th 48 BC, was the turning point in the Roman civil wars fought from 49-44 BC. These wars arose primarily from a struggle between the two powerful members of the First Triumvirate, Julius Caesar and Pompey the Great. Pompey's defeat by Caesar at Pharsalus resulted directly in his own death and Caesar's rise to unimpeachable power in the Roman Republic. The focus on individual leaders as the center of military and political power that was exemplified by the battle of Pharsalus became the overarching structure of governance in Rome, eventually bringing about the end of the Senate-led Republic and the beginning of imperial rule. The first source describing the battle of Pharsalus is found in the seventh book of Lucan's epic poem "Pharsalia". Lucan was a Roman poet who began writing this poem in 61 AD. It was left unfinished upon his death in 65 AD., therefore the poem is only ten books long ending with Caesar&

During the Colonial period many people from Europe arrived in America to live as indentured servants. There were many reasons why immigrants made their way to the colonies, but the most prominent reason was a simple one - a chance at a better life. Documented accounts give us various perspectives of the men and women who took the risk of travelling the dangerous ocean (in a questionable vessel), to live a life of servitude in America. Most indentured servants were treated with disdain, and when we look at the written accounts of these individuals, it's evident that those who left their homeland in search of a new beginning often got more than they bargained for. Physical, mental and sexual abuse, starvation, extreme neglect, violence and corrupted land-owners awaited them. Those who came to America for the purpose of service believed that working for the Master of a home would give them a life of opportunity. Many European immigrants

President George Washington led the patriots through the Revolutionary War, not to conquer but to begin building the American Dream. Since that time, the Constitution that bound the colonies into the United States of America has continued to represent the preservation of freedom. This precious document was forged by the brilliant minds of our Founding Fathers, encompassing all the great ideas of past republics creating what is arguably, the greatest synergy of freedom and government ever established. The quest for freedom has been passed along from generation to generation and the Constitution has played a significant role in offering every American the possibility of standing on a common ground, experiencing true freedom and living with a sense of personal and national pride. The patriots of the Revolutionary War had a simple dream - freedom from tyranny and a functioning government to protect those freedoms. This dream had been upheld until 2001 when President George W. Bush signed

Abstract The struggle for equality and justice is arguably the foundation of many societies throughout the world. The American plight for these freedoms began with the end of European empires and the retreat of European settlers to a new world that would later be named America. However, as the colonized people took hold of self-rule and the establishment of a higher education system, Blacks endured a similar, yet more brutal and violent plight for the same liberties and independence that the colonist fought so hard to gain. This paper will provide a historical perspective of race and higher education, particularly the struggles, accomplishments and the future of Blacks in American higher education. Introduction The history of higher education for Blacks in America is usually told from a perspective of the philanthropic efforts of northern Whites to establish a system to educate former slaves following the Civil War. Freeman (2010) describes these efforts as efforts as something that

In the article, "Be Sure You're Right, Then Go Ahead: The Davy Crockett Gun Craze" by Sarah Nilsen, the author tries to proves that the National Rifle Association sparked a gun craze by capitalizing on the use of social media. The NRA accomplished this by riding the coat tails of the popularity of the television show "Davy Crockett: King of the Wild Frontier", which first aired in 1955 and was produced by the Walt Disney Corporation. The show helped promote the acceptance of gun play by children. Nilsen states that some people thought this coincided with the rise of juvenile delinquency. The purpose of the article was to show the impact that social media had on the popularization of guns through its social acceptance of childhood gun-play. Personally, I found "Be Sure You're Right, Then Go Ahead..." confusing and contradictory in nature. Nilsen starts out by making the argument that the increase in popularity of toy guns and gun play by children was fueled by the Davey Crockett TV series. I

There was much talk about immigration prior to the 2012 presidential election. Both the Democratic and Republican elects spoke of these issues, acknowledging that citizen diversity is a very good thing for our country. However, millions of people resent the influx of immigrants, believing that America is catering to people from other countries rather than taking care of our own. In this essay, I'll review the issue of Jamaican's leaving their country in search of a better life in the United States. The island of Jamaica has a motto: "The sun shineth, the land is green and the people are strong and creative". I believe that a person would need to visit Jamaica in order to see the truth in that phrase. But looking beyond the beauty of the island, a large number of Jamaicans search for greener pastures in America. For many years, Jamaica has fought (and repeatedly lost) the battle for economic stability. According to the Planning Institute of America "the poverty level of Jamaica has elevated from 16.5 to 20 percent in the la

The NCAA recently proposed to increase (again) the standards of the eligibility requirements of its student athletes hoping to play collegiate sports at the Division I and II levels (InsideHigherEd.com, "Bar Raised for Athletic Eligibility"). The increase in standards, the first since 2003, have resulted in heated discussions and blatant attacks by the NCAA directed at the underprivileged, minority population of athletes. It is not my intention to voice an opinion stating that raising the standards will not result in an issue of disregard for minorities. On the contrary, history has proven that these discussions typically move in the racial direction due solely to the results attained by many underprivileged students on standardized tests. I believe that the new NCAA standards are solely on increasing the academic integrity of the student athlete and college athletics. In previous attempts to "improve academic integrity of college athletics" (Grasgreen, 2011) the

I. In Mike Ilitch was born on July 20th, 1929 in Detroit Michigan he was the son of Macedonian immigrants. His father Sotir worked for the Chrysler Corporation as a tool and die maker. A tool and die maker is a manufacturer who makes fixtures, dies, molds, cutting tools. Ilitch graduated from Cooley High School in 1947. After high school, Ilitch join the United States Marine Corps in which served four years. After his duty with the Marines he signed a minor league contract with the Detroit Tigers for $3,000. Ilitch was the second baseman for the majority of his minor league career. Ilitch didn't have much success playing minor league baseball and have never made it out of the minor leagues. He played for teams such as the Detroit Tigers, Washington Senators, and New York Yankees farm systems. His baseball career lasted from four years from 1952-1955. In 1954, he met an airline reservation clerk named Marian on blind date set up by his father Sotir. Mike and Marian were marri

?Githa Hariharan's debut novel, "The Thousand Faces of Night" articulates the problems of women, the basics of Indian Mythology. Hariharan links the plight of her women characters with the Indian myths as Mahabaratha, (Sanskrit stories etc.) to the gods, goddesses and legendary heroines in the epics of India. These stories were instrumental in supporting the insidious patriarchal concepts. The lives of the three women in "The Thousand Faces of Night" - Devi, Sita and Mayamma - exposes the different dimensions of women's oppression. The reworking, revisioning and retelling of the myths as allusions of the character's story is the highlight of the novel. The story of the three women delves into about the society's patriarchal pattern and that society 's expectations and taboos laid by men. 'Story within a story' is the narrative technique which Hariharan employs in the novel. To substantiate her stories, she uses mythological allusions from the great

We all experience the same media exposure, yet our perception of the message being conveyed can vary depending on our age, culture and circumstances. In our analysis of an Israeli advertisement for Pelephone, a communications company selling high speed internet connections, our group worked collaboratively agreeing that this is a 'feel good' advertisement that is aimed at inspiring young working Israelis to use this product to help them escape to the new and exciting world of high speed internet. The company is selling an ideology and lifestyle rather than simply advertising a product. They've targeted emotions and ideas about everyday life rather than the needs of the consumer. Intention/Objective The objective of this advertisement is to sell high speed internet. Pelephone does this by relating certain ideas about life to their product (high speed GSM, 'Global System for Mobile Communications'). The advertisement presents us with a typical hero's journey i

"My name is Harvey Milk, and I'm here to recruit you," were the famous words of the first openly gay member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. He was elected after three times of losing elections because there weren't enough people who supported gay rights in San Francisco. Although times have changed and more people are open minded and supportive of the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) communities, this large percentage of society do not have the same rights as other Americans. At the present, only ten states recognize gay marriage as a legal right and still, millions of people believe it's a sin for people of the same gender to get married. Many human rights organization advocate and protest, stating that gay rights are in fact, basic human rights - everyone should have the opportunity to experience equality: the right to marry the individual you love, medical benefits, adoption, and equal opportunities in the workforce. The Constitution states

After a review of the agencies intake, case management and client housing policies, I would recommend an enterprise system for an operation of this caliber. Because the agency is guided by state and federal regulations and goes through constant changes to its guidelines, it is paramount that the company chooses to build an application capable of developing a system that will have changing requirements and deliver the system or parts in a timely manner. My recommendation is to use a company that understands the intricacies of Extreme Programming, as it is one of the more efficient methods used for software development. Extreme Programming is a software development methodology grounded in values of simplicity, communication and feedback. One of several popular Agile Processes, the Extreme Programing development style can be traced as far back as 1996. The success of this process can be attributed to its emphasis on team w
