Final Paper for Theology

/in /by

1. Summarize what Moralistic Therapeutic Deism is. You will need to read and directly quote from the pdf, made available on eRacer, called MTD reading. The pdf is a copy of the summary of Christian Smith and Melinda Denton’s (the two sociologists) findings. 1 Christian Smith and Melinda Lundquist Denton, Soul Searching: The Religious and Spiritual Lives of American Teenagers (Oxford: Oxford Univ. Press, 2009), 166. (This book is available for check out in the TLU library.) ASSIGNMENT FAST FACTS Due date: midnight, Monday, December 14th Grade Worth: 25% of total grade in course Graded out of: 100 points (see rubric below) Format: Times New Romans 12pt font, double-spaced, 4-6 pages long Note: On your previous papers I’ve given you detailed notes indicating why I gave you the indicated grade, along with suggestions for improvement. Since my aim is for your development as a writer and thinker beyond this class, I will gladly do so again on this paper. However, because this takes a significant toll on my time, I only wish to do so if these comments will be read and appreciated. Therefore, please indicate if you wish me to provide you with comments on your graded rubric by indicating so at the top of your submitted paper. I will not provide comments on papers that do not request it. THEO 133 Final Paper Instructions (instead of Final Exam) 2 a. Note: At a minimum, you need to summarize the three main aspects of MTD: moralistic, therapeutic, and deism. (Hint: it would make sense to organize the paragraphs of your paper around these three themes.) b. If you wish, you may also briefly mention in the introduction and/or conclusion whether or not you think this description of the predominant beliefs amongst youth in the U.S. still pertains. Briefly describe what you think the predominant belief is, and cite some evidence to back your claims. However, you should still use the description of MTD to contrast with the material we have covered in this class (see below). 2. Compare and contrast MTD with the theological material we have covered in class. The majority of your analysis should make reference to material we have covered in class, especially in Units I and II. However, you may also engage relevant theological sources that we did not cover. a. Again, you should allow the main three tenets of MTD (or the religious belief you have made a case for as the most widespread today) to guide this section. What sources of theology (scripture, tradition, reason, etc.) and doctrines of theology (e.g. Christology, Trinity, pneumatology, sin, faith, grace) challenge the notion of simple “moralism”, that all Christians need to do is ‘be nice’? Similarly, what aspects of theology challenge the notion of “therapeutic”, that the purpose of Christian life is to “feel good”, and the notion of “deism”, that God is a distant divine being who rarely interferes in human affairs? You may find that there are other more general contrasts worth mentioning. (For example, does MTD tend to rely largely on a particular source of theology at the exclusion of others?) Format & Length: ➢ Write your paper in Times New Romans 12pt font, double-spaced, 4-6 pages long. ➢ Only put your student ID number at the top (in the heading would be good). You do not need to put any other details. Citation: While you may opt to engage in some outside reading and research to complete this paper, this isn’t a research paper. You should only have to cite either the MTD reading and material we have covered in class. You may use Chicago style format or whatever formatting style you see fit. Just be neat and consistent. If you directly quote or mention a bible verse please simply cite as follows (Genesis 1:1).

QUESTION 9

Human blood is classified by the presence or absence of three main antigens (A, B, and Rh). When a blood specimen is typed, the presence of the A and/or B antigen is indicated by listing the letter A and/or the letter B. If neither the A nor B antigen is present, the letter O is used. The presence or absence of the Rh antigen is indicated by the symbols + or -, respectively. Thus, if a blood specimen is classified as AB +, it contains the A and the B antigens as well as the Rh antigen. Similarly, O- blood contains none of the three antigens.

Using this information, determine the sample space corresponding to the different blood groups.
a.{ AB+, AB-, AO+, BO+, AO-, BO-, O+, O-}

b.{ AB+, AB-, O+, O-}

c.{ AB+, AB-, A+, B+, A-, B-, O+, O-, ABO-, AO+, AO-, BO+, BO-}

Your patient has a personal health record … now waht

/in /by

Case Study: A 65-year-old woman was just been diagnosed with Stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. She was informed of this diagnosis in her primary care physician’s office. She leaves her physician’s office and goes home to review all of her tests and lab results with her family. She goes home and logs into her PHR. She is only able to pull up a portion of her test results. She calls her physician’s office with this concern. The office staff discussed that she had part of her lab work completed at a lab not connected to the organization, part was completed at the emergency room, and part was completed in the lab that is part of the doctor’s office organization.

The above scenario might be a scenario that you have commonly worked with in clinical practice. For many reasons, patients often receive healthcare from multiple organizations that might have different systems.

As you review this scenario, reflect and answer these questions for this discussion.

  • What are the pros and cons of the situation in the case study?
  • What safeguards are included in patient portals and PHRs to help patients and healthcare professionals ensure safety?
  • Do you agree or disagree with the way that a patient obtains Personal Health Records (PHRs)?
  • What are challenges for patients that do not have access to all of the PHRs? Remember, only portions of the EHRs are typically included in the PHRs.

Module 02 written Assignment-For your consideration

/in /by

 

Throughout this module you learned the basics of contract formation. An additional requirement of contract formation is consideration. The courts separate legally binding obligations from mere agreements by checking for consideration. Under basic principles of contract law, consideration is the answer to the question, “Why are you entering this contract?” or “What are you receiving for being a party to this contract?”

Consideration, quite simply, is the benefit that each party gets or expects to get from the contractual deal. For example, you paid your college tuition money for an education. You benefit by receiving the educational services of the college, and the college benefits by receiving your tuition money.

For this written assignment, you will further explore the topic of consideration and whether it is present in the following scenarios. Read the facts of the scenario and answer the following questions:

  1. Is there proper consideration? (Further research on consideration is recommended)
  2. Why or why not is there valid consideration?

Your answer to each scenario should be a paragraph in length and must include the source of your information in a properly formatted APA citation.

Scenario 1:

Tasha rents an apartment in an undesirable part of town. While others, such as her Aunt Rita, find it unsuitable, Tasha seems fine with her living situation. She never experiences any problems with the neighbors, and the rent is cheap. One day during a phone call, Aunt Rita tells her that she wants to gift her $10,000 for anything of her choosing. Tasha figures that this is her aunt’s backhanded way of getting her to move, so she decides to search for a home. Upon finding a home, Tasha calls her Aunt Rita and asks for the money. Rita changes her mind and tells Tasha that she no longer wants to give her the money. Angrily, Tasha hangs up the phone and heads to the courthouse to sue her aunt for the $10,000. Is there consideration?

Scenario 2: 

Officer Friendly notices a poster announcing that a reward is being offered for the capture of a nefarious criminal, Fred Doesnogood. During his evening patrol, Officer Friendly apprehends and arrests Doesnogood. After he completes his shift he decides to call the number to get the reward seeing as he is the one who captured him. Will he be able to get the reward? Is there consideration?

Scenario 3:

Ezra loves watching home improvement shows, but is not that handy when it comes to doing the actual improvements at his house. During one of his favorite shows, an ad appears for a local painting company that is running a fantastic deal. He calls the number and arranges for Izzy to paint his house on Friday. Izzy shows up on Friday and they agree upon a price of $700.00 for the exterior of the house to be painted. Izzy completes the job to the satisfaction of Ezra, but he does not seem to want to pay. Is there consideration?
