...Integration of Faith and Learning I Integration of Faith and Learning I Clinton Harris Liberty University Business 520 – Marketing October 27, 2013 Integration of Faith and Learning I The Coca-Cola Company has long been an icon in the business realm due to both their product and their ingenious marketing campaigns. Finding a means to become number one in any given industry sometimes uses an entirely different marketing approach than remaining number one. Coca-Cola has found the right mixture to make their iconic brand recognizable the world-over. Remaining in this position for such a long time has to trickle down from the leadership atop the Coca-Cola’s leadership. Had Coca-Cola had leadership that did not have the character to lead the company towards a continuously promising destination, then the company could have faltered long ago. It is written “Do not be misled: bad company corrupts good character” ("Corinthians 15:33, niv,"). Knowing this, one can assume that the leadership at Coca-Cola, though not presumed to be perfect, has the character to keep their company steered in the right direction in order to provide for a prosperous and continual future. The marketing approach of Coca-Cola will be a reflection of leadership, and this reflection is that of a company that seeks to spread cheer and joy throughout the world. This point is evident in their touching and heart-warming marketing campaigns throughout the holidays, not only in America, but other countries worldwide...

...Faith-Full Leadership, Ethics and Accountability: Using the work of Moses Pava to enforce the need for moral leadership and governance The general rationale of this paper is quite simple: moral leadership and moral governance matters. It has taken me the entire semester and the detailed reading of the book, Leading With Meaning: Using Covenantal Leadership to Build a Better Organization by Moses Pava (2003) to help me make the solid connection between operational (structural) governance and moral/ethical governance. If the reader of this paper is an enlightened, educated academic, this point may not have a significant impact. On the other hand, if the reader is a “typical” lay practitioner, the point of this paper, supported by evidence provided by Pava (and the other cited resources) might offer a deep and long lasting influence which could possibly change how the reader thinks and acts in matters related to organizational leadership and governance. I was able to make many connections between the Pava text and the Sison (2008) text that helped me better understand how Sison is interpreting Aristotle in today’s complex global business world. I have cited several of these cases to help the reader make a solid connection between structure, intent morality, ethics, accountability and corporate motives. I typically use colored “flags” to note important points and passages in a book I am reading for meaning. After reading the Pava (2003) text, I looked back and saw over fifty...

...NATIONAL ITEGRATION National integration is the awareness of a common identity amongst the citizens of a country. It means that though we belong to different castes, religions and regions and speak different languages we recognize the fact that we are all one. This kind of integration is very important in the building of a strong and prosperous nation. India is a country with innumerable diversities, an entity composed of many communities, races classes, languages and subcultures. In any such nation, there are many obstacles to the achievement of national integration. In India the following hindrances are obstructing the growth of national feeling, casteism, communalism, linguistic fanaticism, social disparity, economic inequalities and immorality, regionalism etc. 1. Casteism: Caste is an imported part of our social fabric. This was developed in the past on the basis of division of labour in the society. But now casteism has segregated the society. Unity and integrity has become a dream in a caste ridden society. The feeling of socially neglected scheduled castes under the suppression of upper caste ruined the sense of we feeling and unity. It becomes a problem for national integration. 2. Communalism: Religions antagonism has posed a i serious challenge to national integration in India. India is a multi- religious land. Political manipulation has projected one religion against the other which resulted in communal riot, bloodbath, mutual, distrust and...

...because of discussions about racism, violence, sex, witchcraft, controversial politics, incest, or rape that are not considered appropriate for schools ("Banned & Challenged Books"). Consequently, after a book successfully becomes banned, the access to that book becomes restricted in the library collection and course of study of a particular school. This was the case in Cromwell, Connecticut, where a pair of residents attempted to have the book Bridge to Terabithia banned for an alleged utilization of central themes that “promote witchcraft and violence” (“CT Residents”). Although the book, Bridge to Terabithia, discusses controversial topics of sorcery, death, and disrespect, it should not be banned because the portrayal of these rebellious characters exemplifies a fundamental experience that children can relate to in reality. Historically, the banning and challenging of books have usually occurred in an attempt to shield children from difficult or controversial topics and ideas, which generally has not concluded in success. In the First Amendment, ideas or beliefs that society portrays as “controversial” are prohibited from being censored from the public eye ("Banned & Challenged Wissink 2 Books"). Furthermore, the right of individuals to express their unique opinions are also guaranteed and protected by Freedom of Speech in the U.S. Constitution (Staff, LII). However, the attempt to ban, or even challenge, a book completely neglects the principles established in the foundation of...

...Home Paper 1 Date: 12-4-2012 Technical Core of Teaching and Learning The technical core of all Christian schools is integration of faith in teaching and learning. The technical level or technical core is the system of organizational activity where the actual product of the organization produced; in school it is exemplified by the teaching and learning in the classroom. (p.42) Learning occurs when experience produces a stable change in someone’s knowledge or behavior. It involves a change in individual’s knowledge or behavior. There are different theories which emphasis different areas of learning: the behavioral theory, the cognitive theory, and the constructivist theory of learning. (p. 43) There are three general learning perspectives – behavioral, cognitive, and constructivist – each of which helps us understand learning and teaching. The behavioral approach of learning emphasizes the importance of antecedents and consequences in changing behavior. There are two kinds of consequences – those that reinforce (strengthen) behavior and those that punish (weaken) behavior. Many students confuse negative reinforcement and punishment; reinforcement strengthens behavior, but punishment suppresses or weakens behavior. (p.43-46) Cognitive explanations of learning highlight the importance of prior knowledge in focusing attention, making sense of new information, and supporting memory. In the cognitive approach there are three kinds of knowledge – declarative knowledge, procedural knowledge...

...Text, Film, and Historical Fact: Soucing “The Name of the Rose” 1. Evaluate the following statement: The film “The Name of the Rose” is an accurate portrayal of the lives of medieval monks. “The Name of The Rose” is a historical murder mystery combining fiction, biblical analysis, medieval studies and literary theory. The movie is very appropriate for historical class, because it simply describes the debate on the poverty of the clergy, but not converted beyond recognition. The scenes of the life in Abbey describe challenges and promises of monastic life. Such characters as dithering abbot and fat cellarer, quirky herbalist and dedicated illuminator demonstrate the variety of occupation and different personalities within the walls of the monastery. The scenes where after the second murder even the abbey became under the apprehension that they are experiencing the last days before the coming of Antichrist, is a perfect evidence that in the fourteen century many experienced divorce from the scholarly world turned to superstition, heretic movements, or apocalyptical outbursts. Moreover, the movie accurately described some parts of daily life medieval monks. The dining sessions, scenes of prayers, psalms and hymns were showed properly. Medieval monks devoted their lives to strict routine and discipline of life. For example, the part where elderly blind monk was angry at other monks because they were laughing claiming that monks never fool themselves. In the movie there...

...American Puritanism Institution affiliates Name American Puritanism The relationship of the individual to the community The term community is associated with hope and ways of reviving a harmonious bond linked to people who are not clearly attributed to past ages. This exploration of the history has been significant in shaping the character and culture of the American. Community is a value because it is used to bring together several elements such as trust, solidarity, mutuality, and trust. On the other hand, individualism positions each member of the community to draw apart with their friends and family, so that he can leave the society once he forms his own circle. Community is crucial as opposed to individualism, which leads to absolute selfishness. According to the Enlightenment theory, the individual natural right should progress according to his personal goals, as a result, succeeds economically. Shakespeare’s treatments of a family and friendship shows tension in the stories of a community defined in terms of the public and private circles of government. Even though, it does not necessarily condemn it, it question discretion. In other words, an individual relationship does not necessarily result in public responsibilities. The conflicts between private and public relationships are contradictory dynamics. Shakespeare narratives are dedicated to undermining the authority because of their inability to stabilize...

...As I read and re-read the article inspiration for my essay, I revisited my thesis statement at least 10 times. My mind was a jumbo of APA formatting, Core Curriculum theory, technology, and Biblical Integration; just to name a few of my thoughts. As I considered my audience and the outline that I so easily discarded; I thought about my educational journey and determined that I think of myself as well educated. My story begins in the 4th grade in Buffalo, New York at Public School 74. I guess you could say that this is where I was being mis-educated based on the premise that memorization of a bunch of facts was the fast track to becoming well educated. Little did I know that one phone call would forever change my life. My grandmother who essentially was a smart woman was raising me. There are two reasons I can say that with confidence. The 1st reason I considered her a smart woman was because family history tells me that she was born in 1927, a child of a black father who was a numbers runner and a mother who as far as I can tell by the stories was a stay at home mother of Caucasian and Native American descent. Her brother, Uncle Jerry taught her how to read at the age of three using the comics from the local newspaper. She embraced learning and was enrolled in school at five, set to graduate at the age of 18. She was intelligent for a young black girl going to a predominately-white elementary school in the 30’s. She skipped two grades and graduated high school at the tender...

...person lives. "The Importance of Values and Morals are the code we live by in a civil and just society. They are what we use to guide our interactions with others, with our friends and family, in our businesses and professional behaviour. Our values and morals are a reflection of our spirituality; our character. They are what we hope to model for our children and the children around us, because children do watch us as they develop their own sense of right and wrong. Value education means inculcating in the children sense humanism, a deep concern for the wellbeing of others and the nation. This can be accomplished only when we instill in the children a deep feeling of commitment to values that would build this country and bring back to the people pride in work that brings order, security and assured progress. A person with proper values will not be afraid to face problems. He or she will expect and accept them as part of life. He or she will not give un necessary importance to anything that happens in life. He or she will have complete faith in God. Such a person will be an example to the rest. Last but not least we must love our own values in life, to build a strong character. It will help us to lead our life as it should be lead. It is very necessary for the fulfillment of life’s purpose.In today’s scenario our values have been discarded by the new generation in the upcoming of the new fashion. In such a situation it is very important for someone...

...School was strict, but I enjoyed learning. I would read Tolstoy in my free time, I had to hide it in my backyard once I was finished. The possession of such items was illegal. I had few friends, few acquaintances. I understood my position in life and I stayed diligent and obedient. After school I was put into the factory. This is when I was 18 believe. All the workers were girls, the managers were all males. I was superior in the field so I was given my own office to make garments. I was married twice. What would you consider your biggest achievement/legacy? “The fact that I had raised a family, came to America and had lived my life fully while keeping my integrity and Christianity. I had seen many of my friends lose faith and lose some of their life to hope and despair, the fact that I overcame many of these challenges is something that I am very proud of.” So then, would you say that you have lived up to your potential? “Yes, I believe I had. In my life, I have been presented several opportunities to let myself go, get rid of my faith and to move on. Although I had chosen a difficult life, I believe God has blessed me and allowed me to be here today because I have walked on the correct road. I believe I have fully matured in intellect, spirituality, and I have used all the chances in my life to form a better world.” So, Christianity is your response then? You believe that you have lived your life up to the fullest because of your faith? No regrets? “That’s correct...
