...Case Report On Dilemma at Devil’s Den Submitted to Dr. S Khan Submitted by : Group - 5 Aayush Shrivastava (2011005) Adarsh Kamath (2011012) Aditya Vikram (2011019) Akshay Shukla (2011026) Anchal Jain (2011033) Anshul Garg (2011040) Ashish Singh (2011047) INTRODUCTION Susan a business student at Mt Eagle College is working part time inside her campus snack bar ‘THE DEVIL’S DEN’ which is managed by contract with an external company COLLEGE FOOD SERVICE (CFS) Student employees involved are those who worked at night shifts and on the weekends. They are students at the college and are under supervision of another student, who held the position of manager. There was approx 30 student employees and 6 student mangers employed by CFS to supervise the DEN. During the day time CFS employed full time managers (non students). Student managers are previous employees chosen by other student managers and they received no formal training or written rules beyond what they had already learned working there. After working for a semester Susan became upset with some of happenings i.e. many employees were allowing their friends to take free food, employees themselves were also taking food in large quantities when leaving their shifts (against the policies). Employees and customers were taking advantage of situation whereby they could steal food almost whenever they wanted. Reasons behind these problems were employee’s wages were low...

...What is Susan's dilemma? Susan is faced with the dilemma of say something now and get fired (ie: accomplish little but do what's right) or put up with what is happening in an effort to change it when you are in a position of power. Susan's risk evaluation based on priorities - provides justification for her actions Risk of being ostracized and/or losing her job Risk of allowing people to continue stealing and becoming part of the problem She has to stand by while no one does anything to correct the problem that she knows is wrong. As a result, of poor management she is left with a decision to make. While her intentions are good she is not sure what is the most effective route to take to accomplishing her goals while still keeping the position. There is an element of self interest in this case, as with many ethical dilemmas. Susan could approach the co-workers and demand that they stop, this would turn the group against her and eventually be forced from her position. Alternatively, she could wait until she becomes a manager to change the actions but that would require her to "allow" the activity to continue. This creates a significant dilemma because she must sacrifice personal gain for her employer. She attempts to rationalize "allowing" the action as the best route to changing it. This also provides her with a stable job and the justification sheds light on how she weights her priorities. What influences her perceptions and behaviour? She is influenced...

...The Battle Is For Your Future Shaborn Vail Genesis 37:5-37:8 “And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more. And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed: For, Behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf. And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.” Genesis 37:5-8 Joseph’s brothers already hated him because he was the favorite son of their father. But once Joseph began to talk about his dreams, once he began to talk about his future, their hatred for him increased and they began to question him by asking him “Shalt you indeed reign over us? Shall you indeed have dominion over us?” Josephs brothers were not so concerned about who he was, as a seventeen year old dreamer. Their concern was over who he was going to become. They were not afraid of his present, they were afraid of his future. And they wanted to stop him from becoming who God said he would become and going where God said he would go. They wanted to stop him from entering into his destiny. If there is anything Satan desires to do today it is to keep you from entering into your destiny. He wants to keep you from your future! Satan does not care if you live in your past...

...Johann Adam Weishaupt was a German philosopher and founder of the Order of Illuminati, a secret society with origins in Bavaria. Weishaupt decided to infiltrate Masonic Lodges to spread his Luciferian doctrine world-wide. There has been a lot of speculation about the Illuminati in the past and some even argue that the Illuminati does not exist. If the Illuminati does not exist then we have nothing to worry about, but if it does, we have a lot to be concerned about as will be discovered in this video. It has always been my contention that the governments of the world are not based on Christians values and principles, and that those who are truly in power in the world today are in fact Luciferians. What is a Luciferian? This is someone who believes that Lucifer (Satan) is in fact the true God, the “Light Bearer”, the “Morning Star” (angel of light). This belief system is based on the story of Genesis 3. 3 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” 2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’” 4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6 When...

...or struggle. The story first opens up by describing the father’s struggles pertaining to taking care of all of his kids. It goes on to say that he is confused and doesn’t know what to do, so he goes to the highway. In this piece the highway is used as a place where the father turns to because he’s desperate. He feels as if there is nothing else he can do and goes there in his time of need. There he meets three people on his quest to give his child a better life. During hard times, these “people” or beings are who/what people eventually turn to during hard times. In this story the symbolic meaning of the highway is Peoples 2 similar to its literal meaning. Either way it’s used, it takes him someplace, bringing him to God, the Devil, and Death. It adds to the story by serving as the connection to the child and his godfather both symbolically and literally. Without the highway, in it’s symbolic meaning; the father would have never needed help. There would have been no time of trouble for him because he...

...In rural regions near the Appalachian Mountains small communities of people worship in churches known for handling deadly serpents as part of everyday rituals. The practice of serpent handling is justified using a passage found in the King James Bible: And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. (Mark 16:17-18) Other Christians dismiss these practices by saying the passage is not to be taken literally. They consider the people following all of the signs mentioned by Mark as foolish, and claim it only leads to the premature deaths of the worshippers. However, this view does not take any sort of phenomenological approach. It does not attempt to interpret why the people worship in this way, nor what it means for them to worship in this way. This view only attempts to refute the practice of handling serpents altogether because of the potential risk of death that accompanies it. Therefore, it is necessary to interpret their actions from a less biased approach, in order to be more encompassing of a practice that is not always fully understood. It is my belief that the people participating in these serpent handling rituals know the element of danger that exists, but that the purpose, reaffirming their connection to God, is greater than the risk to their individual...

...Shaniqua S. Boyd February 6, 2015 THEO 104 Reflection Paper #1 Prayer Do you love to pray like I love to pray? When I pray I take out the time during many parts of my day to pray to my higher power. Prayer is communication with you and Jesus. In order to develop what prayer really is, you must have a clear definition of god. God is so personal being to us and when we pry we can interact with him. To understand it all I will help you understand what prayer is and what is not prayer. What is Prayer: For me prayer is a most important part of my communication process. When we pray we worship and seeks god attention because we know he is there and he listens to us. It might sound crazy but some people think that you just supposed to pray when you wake up and when you lie down to go to bed. Truth be told, there is no limit on when you can pray to your all mighty savior. I talk to him all the time. When I wake up in the morning I’m praying and thanking the lord that he woke me and my family up to see another day. As I am driving to work and asking him to let me and everybody in the world make it to see another day and to get to their destination safe and sound. When I am working I am praying for my co-workers and patients. I pray all the time because I need my blessings all the time. When you pray it do not always have to be that you are asking god for something. It could be that you want to confess to him of something or just praise him for all that he had done for you. Just...

...2 Timothy 1:1-7: The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. 2 Therefore an overseer[a] must be above reproach, the husband of one wife,[b] sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3 not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 4 He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, 5 for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God's church? 6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7 Moreover, he must be well thought of by outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, into a snare of the devil. The theme of the year for me is cultivating character. My lifegroup is called the Realest. We're striving to be real with ourselves, God, and one another, to be real in our Relationship with God, Evangelism, Awareness of ourselves, and Love for one another. At undergrad retreat, my favorite analogy was P Jimmy's iceberg analogy on Sunday. An iceberg is 10% exposed above water, 90% hidden underwater. Similarly, our lives are 10% exposed in our actions and behavior, but 90% hidden in our inner character that drives those actions actions and behaviors. This is my senior year. I'm graduating in 31 days, and my last exam of undergrad is in 34 days. Next semester I'll be interning at PwC. Summer is uncertain (missions hopefully)...

...Emmanuel Avila 9/14/14 Per. 2 Childhood Narrative It was a cold winter day in New Mexico 2008. It was snowing and I can feel the snow getting into my shoes and melting. It made my feet a wrinkly after I took my shoes off. We were visiting a family friend and they had a big back yard. While everyone was inside I went to the backyard to play. Then I met this kid… I forgot his name but, lets just call him devil child. I don’t what in God’s name was wrong with this child but he had the worst attitude, and temper. I don’t remember what I did to devil kid but he was mad hell. I was sitting on a old dog house that looked like it was going to break any moment. It smelled like crap and it gave me a splinter when I touched it. But I still sat on it. Back to the devil child he was mad as hell. He got so mad until the point when he threw the closest thing he could find at me. At first I thought it was a stick but while it was in the air, coming at me that’s when I realized it wasn’t a stick. It was a full-length fixed blade knife. I can still remember that knife like the back of my hand. It had a polished wooden handle with a stainless steel, razor sharp, blade. It struck me on my bottom left lip. The blade sliced my lip leaving it hanging. I fell off the doghouse but it felt like falling of a cliff. I landed hard on the soft white snow. My mum took me to the hospital where I got six stiches on my lip. I fucking hate that kid still to this...

... In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Theology 350 __________________ by Tirsa Woodson July 3, 2015 The Hell Debate The debate over the nature of hell is one that can bring out the best and the worst in biblical exegesis. Everyone nowadays is concerned about the enemy (Satan) and delete hell existence. The beginning signs that Jesus is coming soon, frightens the human race. We were taught when God returns, it will be judgment day. John reveals this judgement will take pace during the last days, when God will conquer all who have and would defy him and to rescue the righteous. Judgment meant the outcome of an individual, will they go to heaven with God or to hell with the devil. There are many misconceptions about Hell, rather the lost will burn forever or annihilated. Hell is real. Universalism believes everyone will eventually be saved, while Christian believe we all will be judged for the deeds we have done. First, the Annihilationist believe that the unrighteous will not suffer eternal torment, but that they will, after being justly punished according to their deeds, be annihilated and cease to exist. Also they believe that hell is eternal in consequence, not duration the wicked shall be no more (Boyd & Eddy). Secondly the classical view states that the wicked will be cast into hell that supports the traditional view they will suffer unending torment The Bible uses a number of expressions to identify...

...be jointed twice and have one foot, and each foot five toes,” (13) In contemporary Christian religion, the Bible sets out certain expectations as well. For example, God expects his people to obey the Ten Commandments, to be good Samaritans, to show kindness to the poor, and to accept and love those who are different. In both societies the bible has been around for thousands of years. “And only the Bible has survived from the time of the Old People themselves.” (39) The Old People were those who lived before Waknuk’s God sent the Tribulation and those are the ones who had the Bible. Secondly, Waknuk’s religion and contemporary Christianity warns us about the devil and to avoid him. The Waknukians believe that “the devil is the father of deviation.” (18) In contemporary society, Christians believe that the devil is the father of lies. In both...

... In "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" by Jonathan Edwards, Edwards describes in this sermon God's fury towards those who do not following the religion. To do this, Edwards is required to use man rhetorical devices. Some of those devices are Imagery,Connotation, and Personification. Edwards uses Imagery to allow his audience to visualize how near God is with his wrath. He states, "There are the black clouds of God's wrath now hanging directly over your heads, full of the dreadful storm and big with thunder..." This allows the audience to imagine the proximity of Gods wrath. He uses, "black clouds", to describe how dark Gods wrath is. These clouds are right over the audiences head to allow them to visualize that is only a matter of time until God releases his fury upon them. But he also goes on to state, "full of dreadful storm and big with thunder..." to describe the darkness of the clouds, but to also allow them to get an idea of some the items that are held within the dark cloud. Edwards uses imagery to all his audience to visualize the proximity of Gods wrath, but to also allow them to imagine the horrific events that follow if God decides to release his wrath. Edwards gives God a good connotation, soon after he describes Gods dark clouds over the audiences heads. He states,"...were it not for the restraining hand of God; it would immediately burst forth upon you." God is not allowing the dark clouds of his wrath to unleash upon the audience.He states,"It not...
