...Let's get started! Remember that history and your History Fair project event must start at least 20-25 years ago. Remember that your History Fair project must connect to Chicago and/or Illinois. These connections can be obvious like Abraham Lincoln or the Chicago Fire or more obscure like former British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, and his request for American assistance during World War II, some of which took place in the form of manufacturing in and around Chicago. For specifics guidelines and rules for each type of project, please visit the Commonly Asked Questions section (below). My advice to you is to get a flash drive, organize a folder on the computer you will be using, or create a Google folder in Google docs (information...

...Erik Larson’s books The Devil in the White City, In the Garden of Beasts, and Dead Wake, are all about major events of history. The Devil in the White City is about the Chicago World’s Fair, Dead Wake is about events leading up to the sinking of the Lusitania, and In the Garden of Beasts is about Berlin in a Germany that was approaching World War II. Each of these topics is interesting enough to begin with, but with Erik Larson’s style of writing, they are even more enjoyable to read about. Each of the books focuses on a few people who were alive during the event that Larson is describing, and follows them throughout that event. Larson’s stories are more relatable, and interesting to read rather than a summary of an event because they not only tell what happened in history, but how it affected people. The Devil in the White City focuses on the Chicago World’s Fair, and focused mainly on a two people that were influential to the fair. The reader learned of the story of Daniel Burnham, an extremely talented Chicago architect who was tasked with building the World’s...

...Ancient Near East literature. There was a time when the Bible, and the Israelite religion was different from its neighboring societies. But as times have changed, many people now lump the bible with other Ancient Near East myths. The book is broken up into two sections. The first half of the book, “The Bible and Myth,” Oswalt takes the time to define what a myth is and what differentiates the Bible from a myth. He then describes the different between the worldview of the Ancient Near East and continuity is different from the Bible’s transcendence. The second half of the book, “The Bible and History,” examines several philosophical thoughts proposed by others that attempt to explain the Bible’s relevance separate from historical validity. Oswalt provides excellent arguments against the new age philosophies. Oswalt provides an articulate argument for the veracity of the Bible’s history and theology by providing several convincing points to affirm the Bibles varicity. Introduction John N. Oswalt, in his book The Bible Among the Myths, provides the reader with a brief, yet comprehensive view of the differences and similarities between the Old Testament and Ancient Near East religions. In the introduction, he provides a brief overview of scholarly thought regarding the Old Testament literature and Ancient Near East literature and how perspectives have changed in nearly 50 years. Oswalt states at the time he was introduced to the subject, scholars believed the Old Testament...

...Assignment on: Paul Tillich’s Theological Method of Correlation Submitted to: Dr. Samuel George Submitted by: Sunil K. Rajan, M. Div. – III ------------------------------------------------- Date: November 10, 2011 1.0. Introduction Paul Tillich (1886-1965) was a major figure in twentieth-century theology. After holding several academic posts in Germany, he and his family moved to the United States in November 1933. He subsequently held teaching positions at Union Theological Seminary, Harvard Divinity School, and the University of Chicago Divinity School. The author of several well-known books, he is possibly best remembered for his three-volume Systematic Theology. The present paper is an attempt to give a summary of Tillich’s theological method of correlation and offer an evaluation. 1.1. Summary of Method In his Systematic Theology, Tillich undertakes this mediating task by exhibiting a correlation between religion and culture. Tillich begins by contrasting “kerygmatic” theology with “apologetic” theology. Kerygmatic theology “emphasizes the unchangeable truth of the message (kerygma) over against the changing demands of the situation.” The relation between the two, he suggests, is like the correlation between “questioning” and “answering” in a conversation. Although Tillich maintains that the statements of apologetic theology must be based on the kerygma, his real concern is using what he terms “the ‘method of correlation’ as a way of uniting message and situation...

...which should be about 750 words long – about three double-spaced pages using a 12-point font. If you cite any sources, the full citations should appear in a separate References section at the end. Use the standard Chicago citation style (see http://library.osu.edu/sites/guides/chicagogd.php). 2.Story, Dialogue, Action! Movies tell stories, and so should your review. Dialogue and action bring stories to life, and you can increase your readers’ interest by quoting revealing snippets of dialogue and describing the action that takes place during important scenes. These narrative elements are especially effective when used in the introductory paragraphs because they help to engage the reader. Remember, though, that your job is not to tell the whole story of the movie but to focus on aspects of sociological relevance. Don’t let the movie’s narrative control you; use the movie to tell your sociological story. 3.Argument The main body of your review – all but the introductory and concluding paragraphs – should develop your sociological argument. This is where you tell the reader about the sociological significance of the movie, applying one or more of the five criteria listed above. Roughly two-thirds of the review should be devoted to this purpose. 4.Summary A summary paragraph should concisely state your main conclusion and leave the reader with something to think about after he or she finishes reading the review. You may...

...Gang activities in Chicago and it suburbs. Introduction Deindustrialization brought the new generation of young gangsters. Its number increases every year, all over the country, in cities of different sizes. Are those gangs the product of restructuring economics? Can they be considered a new social minority? What policy should the community use to control this problem? I decided to write my research paper about the gang activities during the deindustrialization because I think it is very important for political scientist to research how economical and political changes may impact the society and public policy. In my work I answer such questions as what challenges the urban administration experiences during the globalization and how to respond to them. This topic has its actuality today because gangs are becoming a new social “underclass”. (Taylor, 1990, p. 81) What does it mean? With the end of industrialization era a lot of job opportunities disappeared for a new generation of youth. Moreover, gang bands usually act as well-armed economic groups. As the result, many young males were involved in street gang activities such as drug dealing and other criminals. Once those young ones fall in criminal they stay involved in gang activities even when they become adult. (Hagedorn, 1991, p.529) It is remarkable to notice that Mass Media also had its role in growing new population of gangs. The Hollywood industry usually shows images of rich, famous gangsters...

Wood (ID# L25703677) September 1, 2013 Contents Introduction……………………………………………………………………………………….1 Brief Summary…………………………………………………………………………………….1 Critical Interaction………………………………………………………………………………...2 Conclusion Selected Bibliography Introduction This paper is a critical examination of Stephen Andrew’s “Biblical Inerrancy” as published January of 2002 in the Chafer Theological Seminary Journal. Andrew writes the article as a graduate student at Fuller Theological Seminary pursuing a Master of Arts in Theology. In the exposition he presents a historical overview of the biblical inerrancy debate and reviews arguments concerning inerrancy of the bible as relevant to modern evangelicalism. Due to spatial limitations, Andrew restricts his focus to examining the views in support of and against inerrancy from four major perspectives: the slippery slope, epistemological, historical, and biblical arguments. Brief Summary The article is written as an exhortation for the promotion and defense of the inerrancy doctrine while warning against a universal acceptance of all supporting arguments. Andrew opens by defining inerrancy according to Paul D. Feinberg1, as well as Article XII of the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy2; and “limited inerrancy” using a description by Stephen T. Davis3. He traces the debate from its origination in the late 19th century, with B.B. Warfield advocating...

...Date: February 27, 2014 Subject: Marketing TABLE OF CONTENTS Executive Summary The Groupon Case Study is generally about a man named Mason and the success of his Groupon company. Mason first started out with a website called ThePoint.org, which was designed to organize campaigns, protests, boycotts, and fundraising drives for important social issues. That idea let to the creation of Groupon launched on 2008. Groupon started out in Chicago and was later expanded to other U.S cities, and then into other countries. Today Groupon is available in 375 American cities and 40 countries. Their subscriber base has grown from 400 in 2008 to 60 million today. According to Forbes magazine, Groupon is the fastest growing company in history. Groupon is a service where subscribers are offered at least one deal in their city each day but a certain amount of people need to buy into the offer before the coupon discount is valid. Once the minimum number is met, Groupon and the merchant split the revenue. An example of how it works is that a yoga studio might offer a $100 membership for $50 if 200 people participate in the offer. Once 200 consumers have indicated interest, the deal “tips” and Groupon and the yoga studio each receive 50% of the revenue. Groupon has a policy called “The Groupon Promise” that any customer can return a Groupon, no questions asked, even if they used it. Groupon also has other services such as...
