... which blueprints a series of questions in regards to God and evil. Through series of questions, Plato disregards the answer to his uncertainty. Christ allows good because He is Holy and is only incomparable of being “good.” Evil is not of God’s character because he is perfect in every aspect of His being; He is good. Evil falls into two categories, moral and natural evil. Moral evil is evil committed by ones’ free conscious that includes acts such as crime and cruelty. [We] are exposed to moral sin in Genesis 4:18 when Cain kills his brother Abel. Natural evil is that in which involves cirumstances of things that happen out of man’s control. Moral agents can not hold responsibility for products of natural sin: tornadoes, huuricanes, earthquakes, etc. How both moral and natural sin is examined should be addressed by using a series of different approachs and deductive reasonings. For example, a child born with Down Syndrome cannot hope to answer why he/she was born with a disorder by appealing to free will. Understanding the issue of why sin exsists in the...

God made a man in his own image therefore, man can act into the cause/effect flow of history * Francis Shaffer’s Worldview “…the universe as it is now is not normal; that is, it is not now as it was when it was created. Likewise, man is no longer as he was when first created. Therefore, from God’s side, there is the possibility of a qualitative solution to man as he is now and to man’s cruelty, without man ceasing to be man” (1971, as cited in Hesselgrave, 1991, p. 272) Says that God created the world and man and said it was good in genesis 1 In genesis 3 is the Fall of mankind because of sin So the universe and mankind is not the...

The maturities of money market instruments range from one day to one year and are often less than 90 days. It comprises of the call and notice money market, repo market and the market for debt instruments. There is no physical "money market." Instead it is an informal network of banks and traders linked by telephones, fax machines, and computers. Banks financial institutions, companies and government are the key participants in the money market. The size of the transactions in the money market typically is large ($100,000 or more).

...Class-- Professor Popovitch 8/27/2011 12:32:01 PM It is generally understood that the foremost purpose of a business enterprise is to maximize the owners' return on investment. Is this a good thing? Where does social responsibility fit into the equation (if at all)? Can you cite examples of companies that took the profit-maximization mandate too far at the expense of society as a whole? Respond RE: Class-- Ligia Filion 8/31/2011 10:17:03 PM A prime example of investment maximization would be the Real Estate Market in 2006- 2007. A lot of the Real Estate owners took advantage of the mortgage boom and the over priced homes that were being sold. The inflation of prices made homeowners who were selling their homes great profits/ return at the time of sale. The Realtor's selling the homes were also getting commission from the homes they sold. The higher the prices of the home the greater the profits they could go home with. Respond RE: Class-- Rafael Aguilar 9/1/2011 3:12:32 PM As a senior executive at my current company, I would be foolish to disagree with the statement that maximazation of profit and return on investments is the primary business goal. I personally am one that believes that the whole social responsibility situation has been overused and exagerated to much. Yes, a company should not overextend itself where they are geapordizing the financial security of the state or country. However, it is important...
