...ACTIONS THAT CHRISTIANS SHOULD TAKE CONCERNING THE ENVIRONMENT PRESERVATION OR RESTORATION Name: Institution: Introduction It is the duty of all human beings to take care of the environment and should they destroy it then they will have no place to stay. According to Isaiah 45:18 “God formulated the universe so that it can be occupied.” There are alternate biblical notions as well as details that show the significance of the environment and the desire to safeguard and keep it running. Environment fortification has constantly been the key concern among many socialists, ecologists as well as scientist thought the universe. Everybody is looking towards the welfare as well as the need for safeguarding the environment. Thus, the progression and creation of technology has smashed the earth to the larger extent and how it is very vital to take actions against the features that are hazardous to the environment. Consequently, this is never perceived as the responsibility of religion to concern about nature as well as the environment. The novel thoughts of Christianity along with environment restoration and preservation have offered the novel aspect of thought and new rationale to consider the significance of saving the environment. Therefore, this is the most outstanding issue of uniting the impression concerning Christianity with the environment protection...

...Role Model Review- Oprah Winfrey Date: July 24, 2012 Class: CWV-101 Christian Worldview Instructor: Dr. Scott Hovater Role Model Review- Oprah Winfrey When asked to write a Role Model review I knew exactly who I wanted to write about and then I read the instructions that it had to be someone that was relatively well known. This made this assignment a little harder for me and a little more challenging. When going through and looking at other people that I could use as a Role Model I chose to do it on Oprah Winfrey. I picked Oprah because she is a person that is always looking to help someone out that is in need of help no matter what the conditions are that she has to deal with in the enviroment to get these people the help they need. In this review I am hoping to tell you a little about Oprah and her beliefs and what I feel her Worldview is. Oprah Winfrey was born on January 29, 1954 and lives in Montecito CA. She lives with her partner Stedman Graham. Oprah is an American media proprietor, talk show host, actress, producer and philanthropist. She is best known for her multi award winning talk show.

...Today’s society is filled with lots of things that can become a distraction. We all have life events and responsibilities that consume our time. But there is one thing that is the main combatant to being productive. It’s that evil word “Procrastination”. Stalling seems to be a plague amongst everyone that has ever faced a deadline or had an open ended task. Wherever there is time, there is a tendency to waste it. We are all doomed to fail if we don’t beat the monster named “Procrastination”! The article, Procrastination, participation, and performance in an online learning environment, by Nicholas Michinov, Sophie Brunot, Olivier Le Bohec, Jacques Juhel, and Marine Delaval in the journal Computers & Education, brings much needed insight on this particular topic. It brings out the major factors when dealing with procrastination. First we have Time Management. Nicholas Michinov, Sophie Brunot, Olivier Le Bohec, Jacques Juhel, and Marine Delaval (2011) point out that “this is most common among students, especially at college and university levels” (pg. 2.1). A study was carried out completely online using Moodle (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) to analyze student’s success or failure in relation to procrastination. The results showed that procrastination and lack of participation lead to meager performance. The journal also states that this study found that the level of participation in discussion forums mediates the relationship between procrastination...

The fundamental belief is that people tend to move towards growth, self actualisation and healing.” This is one of the therapies used in counselling today and it supports personal growth but does not always include Christian virtues. The approach seem very important because it claim to mould a person from the help seeking broken state they in to self actualisation and fullfilment. In reality, is it really what happen to people being counselled using PCT as their method of counselling? PCT method of counselling recommend a non-directive approach that allow the client to lead himself and can anything good come from within us without God, the source of life. Our...

...THE DEGENERATING STATE OF ENVIROMENT DUE TO INTERFERENCE The truth of the matter is that the earth holding capacity or the earth surface on which we (the living things, animals and plants) live does not expand or increase in size. If since the creation of the first living things on earth, they were left free to bear young ones and to germinate and grow without succession or reduction through deaths, the earth surface today would be so crowded that there would be no enough food, water, air and the living space for the growing populations of the living things to survive. Ironically, humans driven by satanic spirits to insult,ignore,belittle and disobey God so as to prove to the world that God doesn’t exist ,have continued since the time of Adam to put in place their own artificial devices or scientific inventions to render God’s natural arrangements and controls over human and other animal populations irrelevant. Such human invented or created controls and activities are aimed at making the above quoted. God created and ordered population control scourges or factors ineffective. They include, artificial insemination or test-tube fertilization to make barren or fertile woman to bear babies without the need for woman or man copulation so that woman no longer need men to bear babies. Discovery of effective medicines, vaccinations and other medical services to control diseases and out-break of epidemics which wipe out large numbers of animal and human populations thereby reducing...

...1099, Jerusalem was in Christian hands, and remained so until 1187, when it was liberated by Slah al-Din. From then on, European power in the region was very limited, although Frederick II of Sicily briefly conquered Jerusalem again in 1228. The fall of Acre in 1291 marked the end of the European presence in the region. All in all, it was the western Christian that states failed to counter the ultimate rise of Muslim power as-well-as “liberating” any holy lands. It was a war that a man fought another man for the misguided main beliefs of another. Over-all, the Muslim nations that were invaded by those Christian states wanted no part of the hostile take-over of their lands or a forced conversion to their non-Islamic religion. Holy Sepulchre, a city in Palestine was the center of attraction; where the religious practices of Christians were not allowed to enter. The city was under the care of the Caliphs from Bagdad and the Fatimid’s of Egypt. At one point the Caliph presented the keys of this holy place to Charlemagne to lock out the millions of Christians from gaining access. People from Turkey sooner joined the fight to control the holy place as the Arabian community could not resist them and eventually more Christians were subjected to many more annoyances. The whole of Europe also complained about the brutality in which these practicing Christians were facing and advised them to return to their Christian bound territories. The sufferings of Christians raised a great concern...

...CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY The mass media, most especially television have gradually become a part of our daily lives, and sources of information, education and entertainment have been described as the primary functions of the media. Lasswell (1948) as cited in Folarin (2005, p.74) assigns three functions to the media: i. Surveillance of the Environment (the news function). ii. Correlation of the different parts of the Enviroment (the editorial function). iii. Transmission of the cultural heritage from one generation to the other (the cultural transmission function). The focus of the researcher in this study is not only on the entertainment function of the media, but the role the entertainment media especially television, plays in shaping social behaviour among teenagers in the society. Stephenson (1967) a British psychologist, as cited in Folarin (2005, p.170), divides man’s activities into work and play. The former involving reality and production, while the latter deals with entertainment, relaxation or self satisfaction. He further says that people use mass communication more as play than as work, more for pleasure and entertainment than for information and serious work. Folarin (ibid) corroborates this view by saying that one constant criticism of television in Nigeria is its focus on entertainment rather than on development purposes. There is no doubt that the impact of the media on young people’s lives is broadly considered within...

Landsburg...is one economist who fits the bill. In a wide-ranging, easily digested, unbelievably contrarian survey of everything from why popcorn at movie houses costs so much to why recycling may actually reduce the number of trees on the planet, the University of Rochester professor valiantly turns the discussion of vexing economic questions into an activity that ordinary people might enjoy." —JOE QUEENAN, The Wall Street Journal "The Armchair Economist is a wonderful little book, written by someone for whom English is a first (and beloved) language, and it contains not a single graph or equation...Landsburg presents fascinating concepts in a form easily accessible to noneconomists." —ERIK M. JENSEN, The Cleveland Plain Dealer "...enormous fun from its opening page...Landsburg has done something extraordinary: He has expounded basic economic principles with wit and verve." -DAN SELIGMAN, Fortune "An ingenious and highly original presentation of some central principles of economics for the proverbial Everyman.
