Theology of Suffering and disaster response (Outline)
$5.00Without ones’ own understanding of the purpose of suffering, crisis responders cannot truly offer emotional and spiritual care in disasters and provide comfort and direction to others in their suffering and pain. With this thought in mind, compile an original paper of 8–10 pages of body text, in APA style, that begins by explaining your own personal theology of suffering. Use commentary and biblical references to support your position. In addition, explain how you would consult with a congregation to set up a plan of preparation for pre-incidence disasters. Utilizing information presented in your texts as well as theoretical and practical elements from academic and Christian sources, describe how you would foster resiliency in the pastor and the congregation.
A minimum of 10 scholarly sources (books and journal articles) is required in addition to your textbooks (if you choose to cite these). Grades will be assigned based on quality of content, how well APA guidelines are adhered to, the richness of citations utilized, quality of expression, and biblical integration presented.
Laptops in the Classroom
$15.00Should students be allowed to use laptops or other mobile devices in class? Or do those devices create too much of a temptation for distraction and should therefore be banned? Could these devices be integrated into the class in way that would make them beneficial, or will they, by their very nature, always just result in distracted students?
The debate around laptops and mobile devices in the classroom gets the heart of what we discussed during the Information, Technology, and Society class. Are these devices entirely neutral, mere tools that students can choose to use in one way or another? Or are these devices designed in such a way that distraction is a highly probable, or maybe even an inevitable outcome? Or is the truth somewhere in between?
This assignment will help you wrestle with these questions and clarify your own opinions. Start by reading the following short articles, which articulate two sides of the debate:
Clay Shirky, “Why I Just Asked My Students to Put Their Laptops Away (Links to an external site.)”
Rebecca Schuman, “In Defense of Laptops in the Classroom (Links to an external site.)”
Next, do some additional research on this topic. Search the journal article databases (Links to an external site.) or look for credible articles on the web. Note that a “credible” article is one where the author makes a reasoned argument backed by evidence, and not one where the author just states his or her opinion in a loud or persuasive voice. Read at least two other articles beyond the two listed above.Finally, write a short essay (around 1,000 to 2,000 words) that responds to what you’ve read, reflects on your own experiences, and articulates your own opinions and conclusions on the subject. Your essay should answer the following questions:
For each author you read, what is their core argument and what key evidence do they present to support that argument? For this first section, just briefly outline their arguments and evidence, comparing and contrasting them, but refrain from making judgments or inserting your own opinion. Your goal in this section is to show that you listened well to each author’s argument.
Next, analyze the arguments by digging down to the assumptions each author makes regarding the relationship between technology and society. Is the author more on the technological determinist side of the spectrum, the social determinist side, or somewhere close to the middle? Is the author more of a techno-optimist, a techno-pessimist, or somewhere in between? Critically, how does the author’s stance on these spectrums influence the author’s core arguments?
Lastly, reflect on these arguments as well as your own stance and experiences. What is your opinion on this issue and how does your own stance influence that?
Feel free to disagree with the articles you’ve read, but be respectful of the authors, realizing that they have good reasons for believing what they do.When quoting or referring to something from an article you read, remember to cite the source using the APA format (Links to an external site.). This is a simple inline citation format used in many disciplines, including Information Science.
Also include a reference list (Links to an external site.) at the end of your essay, with full citations for the articles your read (including the first two listed above). See the Purdue OWL site for examples of how to format journal articles (Links to an external site.) and web pages (Links to an external site.).
You do not need a title page nor abstract. Just put your name at the top of the essay.
Finally, read over our general writing guidelines and the Plagiarism section of the syllabus for more information about what we expect. If you need help with your writing, visit the Odegaard Writing Center (Links to an external site.).

Pages: 11, double spacedPaper #1: Unsent Letters – Miss Summers To Lady Susan Concerning Miss Vernon
$5.00Audience and Tone assignment: Unsent letters.
Prompt:
For one of the peripheral characters in Lady Susan, write two versions of the same letter, one in Regency style and one in a contemporary digital method (i.e., an online video rant, a “Twitter war” or a series of Facebook postings. NB: Facebook now deletes fake character accounts, so you will have to write it in a word document using a Facebook bot program to make it look authentic.)
Note: Lady Susan, Mrs. Catherine Vernon, Frederica, Reginald de Courcy and Mrs. Alicia Johnson are not peripheral characters, so do not write as them.
Minor Characters:
Mr. Manwaring
Mrs. Manwaring
Miss Maria Manwaring
Mr. Johnson
Mr. Smith (man who reveals Lady Susan’s character to Reginald)
Mr. Johnson’s Aunts who live in Bath
Sir James Martin
Charles Vernon
Miss Summers, the headmistress of Frederica’s school
Wilson, the servant
You choice should be character who has something important to convey, and should not repeat exact information found in existing letters.
One of the letters will be true to the period (the novel was written circa 1798, and published in 1871, but is set a bit earlier, circa 1790). Your character should use appropriate modes of address and diction. The second is an update in which your character, while still sounding like the person in the novel, will speak in modern terms.
“Letter” two is not really a letter, but a modern exchange via Twitter; video weblog; Facebook Messenger; IM; Humans of New York Posting, Instagram, Yik Yak, Snapchat, etc. of two characters, who are recognizable from the book yet updated for contemporary context. One voice can (and should) dominate, but the second voice should appear occasionally to signal the faster exchange of information in our modern times. You may also impersonate other characters, strangers, or contemporary celebrities weighing on the debate, as is common in internet exchanges on public forum. If Mr. Manwaring is being indicted as a two-timing husband, perhaps some notable cheater in the public sphere will defend him (“Player, play on.”)

- MY DEAR MADAM, — I have just had the honour of receiving your letter, for which I beg to return my sincere acknowledgments. I am much concerned to find there was anything in my behaviour last night that did not meet your approbation; and though I am quite at a loss to discover in what point I could be so unfortunate as to offend you, I entreat your forgiveness of what I can assure you to have been perfectly unintentional. I shall never reflect on my former acquaintance with your family in Devonshire without the most grateful pleasure, and flatter myself it will not be broken by any mistake or misapprehension of my actions. My esteem for your whole family is very sincere; but if I have been so unfortunate as to give rise to a belief of more than I felt, or meant to express, I shall reproach myself for not having been more guarded in my professions of that esteem. That I should ever have meant more you will allow to be impossible, when you understand that my affections have been long engaged elsewhere, and it will not be many weeks, I believe, before this engagement is fulfilled. It is with great regret that I obey your commands of returning the letters, with which I have been honoured from you, and the lock of hair, which you so obligingly bestowed on me.
- I am, dear Madam,
- Your most obedient
- humble Servant,
- JOHN WILLOUGHBY.

ASOS and Amazon Assignment
$7.00Collaboration can be internal amongst the employees across all levels and external such as those with the suppliers, customers and so on. In the context of globalisation, this could bring in the dimension of leadership, culture, people, management, technology and teams. So, starting with the various definitions of globalisation, choosing your own given the context of ASOS and Amazon, you can bring in all these aspects of collaboration and try to position the essay towards how collaboration is critical for globalisation or is it the globalisation that makes collaboration possible?
Try to narrow down the question you want to address in your essay (essay topic is broadly globalisation and collaboration; however, you can narrow down to your own research question).
- need to develop your argument which appears to be about the impact of culture. Talk about the impact of technology.
- What is globalisation, who has said what about Globalisation, in your own opinion what globalisation means to you, why it is important.
- What is collaboration? And what does this mean to the two firms you are studying? What are the factors that influence collaboration (culture, technology, leadership, management and so on). What are the different types of collaboration(internal, external)? How globalisation impacts collaboration and vice versa?
