It is a type of technology that allows you to express yourself anywhere, anytime toward achieving a greater level of communication. The objective in this paper is to become familiar with the concept of wireless technology. Various topics are covered to include Wireless history, standards, basic principles, regulatory change, and global implications. There was a time when you could easily count all the men in the country who even pretended to know anything about wireless. No one of the few who were working with wireless then, knew whether a set carefully put together would work at all or how far the signals could be heard. Transmissions of a hundred miles or more were hailed as remarkable. Present-day radio listeners are quite prone to think of radio as nothing more than telephonic broadcasting. But before the wireless telephone, came tremendous amounts of hard, sometimes discouraging...

...BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW ESSAY CHARLIE MITCHELL THEO 104-D59 “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14). When one speak of, “foundational to the Christian faith is the belief that mankind is created in the image of God” (Biblical Worldview Essay instructions).It goes without saying, we cannot overlook the passage that indoctrinate our thoughts of this phenomena event. Very early in the writing of the bible, God set the stage for what his intentions were to be. The writing of Genesis sets that stage in the creation, from the first verse, “In the beginning God created the heaven and earth” (Genesis 1:1). Through the final creation, “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” (Genesis 2:7). Thesis: There is no argument, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us” (Etzel, Gutierrez, 2012). The question lies in, is he (man) living out that creed? Has man’s perspective of God’s commandments gone off the beaten path? Where did man sway? In my profession, there are no less than 10,000 personnel that makeup our company structure. All with varying demographic makeup, yet all are considered as one from our CEO perspective. We have a product to market to the general public, each employee are...

...Creation Tales The Popol Vuh strongly resonates with my belief of how the Universe was created, which meant that there was void and emptiness before people inhabited the earth. According to the Popol Vuh which states that “Only the Creator, the Maker, Tepeu, Gucumatz, the forefathers, were in the waters surrounded with light; they were hidden under green and blue feathers, and were therefore called Gucumatz. By nature they were great sages and great thinkers” (Fiero, 2011). This is similar to my belief that a supreme being a sole Creator Yahweh is responsible for creating the Universe rather than multiple Deities. The Popol Vuh further elaborates that “By nature they were great sages and great thinkers. In this manner the sky existed and also the Heart of Heaven, which is the name of God and thus he is called” (Fiero, 2011). This statement demonstrates a similar belief held by myself...

...be given. Brief Overview and Main Points The theme of the article is the question concerning the age of planet Earth. Mortenson’s main point centers on the debate (which has been going on since the early 19th century) between Christian scientists and new theorists concerning how Earth came into being. In short, Christian scientists believe Earth was a process of divine creation; non-scientists believe Earth came about through a process of evolution (Mortenson, 2003). Article Strengths Mortenson did an excellent job when describing the differences between the beliefs of the scriptural geologists (Christian scientists) and the new theorists. For the most noted ones, he gave a brief description of their background. This allowed the reader to understand a little about the person and the kind of research the person had been doing. When discussing the views of the scriptural geologists, Mortenson talked about how their views stemmed from what the Bible says about the creation of Earth. As far as the new theorists were concerned, he discussed in great detail each of their theories concerning Earth’s creation. The gist of most of their theories focused on evolution and the laws of nature. God’s divine intervention was nowhere in the picture. Overall, Mortenson’s writing was concise and to the point. This made his article easy to comprehend. He gave just the right amount of detail which allowed the reader to have a clear...

...Babylonian Creation Myth (summary) The Babylonian creation myth is recounted in the "Epic of Creation" also known as the Enûma Elish. The Mesopotamian "Epic of Creation" dates to the late second millennium B.C.E. In the poem, the god Marduk (or Assur in the Assyrian versions of the poem) is created to defend the divine beings from an attack plotted by the ocean goddess Tiamat. The hero Marduk offers to save the gods only if he is appointed their supreme unquestioned leader and is allowed to remain so even after the threat passes. The gods agree to Marduk's terms. Marduk challenges Tiamat to combat and destroys her. He then rips her corpse into two halves with which he fashions the earth and the skies. Marduk then creates the calendar, organizes the planets, stars and regulates the moon, sun, and weather. The gods pledge their allegiance to Marduk and he creates Babylon as the terrestrial counterpart to the realm of the gods. Marduk then destroys Tiamat's husband, Kingu using his blood to create humankind so that they can do the work of the gods.

...Creative metaphor in three creation myths Introduction In this essay I will analyse the creative use of metaphor in three creation myths: Japanese, Chinese and Australian aboriginal creation myths. Before going into the detailed analysis of each creation myth, I will first consider the most appropriate framework by outlining the concept of cognitive metaphor and its uses. I will also draw on historical and cultural background information of each creation myth to provide the context for my analysis. I will then employ the chosen framework to analyse the three creation myths and draw particular attention to the interplay of metaphor and language creativity. Finally, I will evaluate the effectiveness of the chosen framework by considering how far it enables me to interpret creation mythology in context. Cognitive metaphor theory Traditional approaches have regarded metaphor mainly as a rhetorical or artistic figure of speech (Johnson, 1989). Cognitive metaphor theory coming more recently has recognised metaphor as a persistent trait in human thoughts. It is based on the foundation that metaphor is not limited to literary texts but is a pervasive feature in all language uses (Jeffries and McIntyre, 2010). Lakoff, Johnson and Turner were the forerunners in establishing cognitive metaphor theory (Lakoff and Johnson, 1980; Turner, 1987; Lakoff and Turner, 1989). In the classic work Metaphor We Live By, Lakoff and Johnson (1980) argue that metaphor is not merely a matter of language...

...Theories of Myth University of Phoenix Theories of Myth Myths could have dissimilar meaning to society. A myth can portray a fairy-tale that is not true which could be precisely meant for entertainment to a narrator and whoever is listening to the story. A myth could portray a fairy-tale that maybe true. The stores told many years ago could have some false and true meaning. In order to comprehend the history of mythology, brilliant intellects capture dissimilar methods to understand the fairy-tales being read and determining to view if the stories were true, to view if the stories were false, to view if the stories of the imagination or if the stories were actually real thousands of years ago. An example of brilliant intellect is Sir William Jones who found legitimacy in the myths by investigating the dialect the stories were printed in. Sir William Jones was valued and respected as a young adult who spoke five languages and was considered a youthful genius in the 18th century. Sir William Jones assumed he could confirm the authenticity of the fairy-tales by using the dialect utilized many years ago. Sir William Jones traced the languages to one resource that all languages were developed from; this was called proto-indo-European that was a dialect presented as an idea. Sir Jones found a way to give legitimacy to his process, which others used and found that myths were vital and crucial windows into cultures and...

...Todd Wysong Due Date: 9/8/15 Rel 250: Tues.-Thurs. Conversation Starter #1 The First thing I noticed After reading Genesis Chapter 1 through 3 is that in the first creation God Creates the heavens before the earth. “In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth” (Gen. 1:1-2). In the second chapter God says he creates earth then heaven. “In the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens” (Gen. 2:4-5). It might be a small comparison, but it caught my eye. Then, the last Creation in Genesis chapter 1 was humankind, “Then God said, ‘Let us make humankind in our image according to likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish in the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth’” (Gen. 1:26). Which was the last thing created on the 6 days of creation. In Chapter 2, God creates man before everything else. “In the Day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, when no plant of the field was yet in the earth and no herb of the field had yet sprung up-for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no one to till the ground; but a stream would rise from the earth, and water the whole face of the ground- then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground” (Gen. 2:4-8). In this same paragraph, I noticed that the writers refer to God as “LORD God”, but in chapter 1 God is called, “God.” Also, in the first one...

...Essay #2 Compare/Contrast ENG 099/011 Professor Ficarotta Patrick St. Fleur The Creation The creation of the world has been told in many ways and through the cultures has significant differences. The concept of creation that I’m most familiar with come from the bible, Genesis: Chapter 1-3. However during my recent studies on creation myths, I’ve learned many others. A common theory of the earth started is reflected in the bible and occurred within six days. Creation myths are beliefs and stories on the earliest beginnings of the world. Oral traditions throughout the different cultures are regarded as truth for the “creation” and served as the historical reference we know today. Common element s of creation myths begin with a birth, a supreme being, human and animals and instructions from the creator. Almost all cultures have at least if not all these elements in the creation myths but vary to some degree. Every revolving culture has developed creation myths centered on historical interpretation, factual events and cultural influence however the African Bushmen and the Egyptian’s are similar on morals however different in the creation. All creation myths consist of a supreme being of some kind or form. The being is not always represent but is importance is just as equal. The Greek and the Japanese show gods and goddesses, whereas the Aborigines had to supreme beings: Father of All Spirits and the Sun Mother.(Murtagh). The Japense also has two gods Izanagi...

...ENH251 World Mythology: Lesson 1 Assignments 1 & 2 Due 3/30/2013 Assignment 1 Read the foreword in your textbook on pages 8 and 9. Then, answer the following questions, using three or four sentences. a. As you begin this course, you undoubtedly have an idea of what a “myth” is. Your textbook’s editor, however, tells you that in Campbell’s view, “Any good story . . . can teach us something, but only certain beguiling visions, stories with the power to shape and control our lives, can inspire and, far too often, destroy us.” These “potent timeless tales” are the only ones he would consider true myths. What about these stories do you think would make them potent? What would make them timeless?--Answer below: What makes these stories potent are the lives these people had. Their journeys through trials, love, and adversity that brought them closer to the true understanding of themselves and the world around them. What makes these stories timeless is how they were told and how the characters were portrayed. They stir up something in us that give us a glimpse into ourselves and makes us want to share these stories fro generations to come.b. Campbell also said that, “Every myth . . . is symbolic. Its narratives and images are to be read, therefore, not literally, but as metaphors.” How would you define the difference between reading something literally as opposed to reading it as a metaphor? Then, as an example, explain the following sentence first literally and then metaphorically:...

...Scholarly Journal Summary The “Journal for the Study of the Old Testament” had a very interesting topic that is discussed almost an unlimited amount of times in today’s society. The topic is sex, and how it is defined in Leviticus, with particular attention to Leviticus 18:6-23. This is due to the fact that in chapter 18 of Leviticus, it is formatted in such a way where it is laid out as law, or apodictic law. The author tries to deviate from just explaining what the scriptures mean in its context, but instead tries to use the contextual format from the chapters before and after chapter 18 to see what its true interpretation should lay on. Leviticus Chapter 18:6-23 is Lord God talking to Moses about the things that the Israelites shall not do. God speaks to Moses telling him to tell the people of Israel what he is telling him and no to do as others do. “You shall not do as they do in the Land of Egypt, where you lived, and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, to which I am bringing you. You shall not follow their statutes” Leviticus 18:3. (Collins, Harper pg 177) Shortly after God states this to Moses, he describes multiple different ordinances of law dealing with Sexual Relations. A great deal of these ordinances deal with Incest Relationships, such as “None of you shall approach anyone near of kin to uncover nakedness” Leviticus 18:6. (Collins, Harper pg 177) Along with that verse there are multiple others deal with uncovering nakedness of your father, your...

...be perceived a separation in each society's perspective of the world and, as Joseph Campbell expressed in his book Myths to Live By, a sure "solidarity of our species." The characterizing contrasts and similarities between most societies can particularly be found in every society's close to home story of creation. The story of Genesis in the Bible, for instance, could give a lot of knowledge into the comprehension of the world in the brains of a noteworthy part of the United States today. As talked about in Genesis: A Living Conversation, the maker, God, in this section of the book of scriptures, is seen regularly by numerous Americans as a parental figure, and in contrasting this creation story with others, for example, the Greek story of creation by Hesiod and the Zuni myth of rise, one would be connecting the myths of three human advancements as well as the most essential thoughts of these three civic establishments. In this article, I will thoroughly analyze the creation stories of the Bible, the Zuni, and Hesiod through their topics of the primordial void before creation, the fall of mankind into what we now know, and the female central. In numerous myths of creation, there is the real trick of a period before time and/or space and/or request – a thought of nothingness before something goes along to set things in movement. The primary sentence of Genesis states "At the outset God...

...word ‘mythos’ that simply means story or word. Before histories and books on fiction, fact or fantasy were ever written, man from the earliest days told stories to each other and for each other to communicate, reassure, share, and make sense of his or her realities. Myths enact and present a narrative of how a character lives out or goes through an event or a set of events. Myths have come to symbolize a particular genre of fiction along the lines of legends and folktales - important aspects of meaning-making and identity-creation in cultures all over the world. Mary Magoulick (2009) defines myths as such, "Myths are symbolic tales of the distant past (often primordial times) that concern cosmogony and cosmology (the origin and nature of the universe), may be connected to belief systems or rituals, and may serve to direct social action and values." In this paper I will discuss three theories, compare two creation myths, and finish with a summary and conclusion of my reflection towards the theories. Myths are important areas and source of sociological, psychological, and even historiographical discourse in our attempt at understanding and learning of the world of our ancestors and the people and civilizations that came before us. From these myths we learn their world views, how they made sense of their realities and how they reacted to and processed natural and social phenomenon. Theories of myths explain the nature, purpose, and origins of myths. According to Csapo (2005), all...
