...In Dating and the Single Parent, Ron Deal opens up conversations necessary for many single parents as to whether dating or considering the possibilities is the optimal thing to do, as well as coming to terms about the best time to do so. He presents his story through a variety of synopsizes of stories collected through many years of studies. He is open and honest using biblical doctrines as the foundation of his advice. This critique will examine Ron Deal’s key ideas, Christian approach, and two of the theological approaches he addressed. Summary Humans are created beings, created with the sole purpose of serving a higher calling. Dating and the Single Parent addresses many of the most important issues that surround an individual’s life and the need for relationship. It places God at the forefront of every decision or lack thereof that ill-informed or misinformed people continue to make. Ron Deal tackled issues that many churches are afraid to, leaving not many areas untouched. He discussed the necessity of waiting and consulting God in every area of a single parents life exercising godly wisdom. According to Deal (2012), “I beg you to heed the call of Wisdom regarding your relationships, your family decisions, and your parenting or you might as well start drafting your email to me now” (p.23). As marriages continue to fail at an alarming rate, the need for better understanding becomes greater. Humans are created with an overwhelming need for relationships, this need...

... Abstract: 80 words] Abstract Keith DeRose has proposed that different participants in a conversation do not have different contextually determined standards for knowledge-ascriptions. Rather, there is one contextually determined standard for the whole conversation. On this ‘single scoreboard’ view, when different participants use different standards, the semantics for ‘knows’ have a truth-value gap. This essay discusses a variety of cases in which truth-value gaps will arise on single-scoreboard contextualist views. These gaps will be widespread, but that is not an argument against single-scoreboard contextualism. Keith DeRose has argued extensively for contextualism about the word ‘knows’: that the standards for what counts as knowledge are determined by the context in which the knowledge ascription is made. But DeRose does not hold that the context-sensitivity of ‘knows’ means that both parties to an apparent dispute about knowledge can be right. Some contextually sensitive terms, such as ‘I’, can take on different semantic values in the course of a single exchange, so that one person’s utterance of “I am sitting” and another’s utterance of “I am not sitting” can both be true. DeRose (2004), however, argues that the standards for knowledge never vary within a single exchange in a way that could make true one person’s utterance of “S knows that p” and another’s utterance of “S doesn’t know that p.” In fact, DeRose argues that in such exchanges it may...

...Truth and Reality: Are our versions mere mind-created, or real ? Can we ever distinguish actual reality from the synthetic models that mind create ? Or, can we ever know any reality other than what our minds create ? If we clinically analyse the total contents of our mind, we will find that it is a mix of many things that we consider as real, and equal number of things that we know as mere manufactured products of we,or that of the human community in general. What we naively consider as real are objects and relations that we have seen, heard, touched,tasted or smelt. We had learned this criterion of assessing reality from our primeval days when mind was not developed to perceive anything beyond what were just in-front the sense-organs. Animals are still in worlds of reality. Now, man's this category of reality also consists the various scientific facts,that we believe, our prestigious men of science must have either directly observed through their special instruments, or inferred over strong evidences they must have collected through their various false-proof methods. For example, the moon-rocks are real because NASA has its samples displayed at their facilities, or it is Sun there at the center of solar system, and earth and other planets are revolving around it. We believe that Science has adequate proof of these real physical facts. Though these scientific facts are quite different from the reality of a horse or a mountain that we actually see, we generally...

...Some Authority Suppose we are confronted with two or more conflicting alternatives concerning what to say, think or do and in hopes of resolving this confusing conflict, we seek out some wiser person, some authority, who can give us the correct answer. This raises the question: Who is the authority we can turn to: our Mom, our Dad, our grandparent, a priest or a clergyman, a Rabbi or Ayatollah, a bodhisattva, a therapist or counselor, the Pope, a lawyer, a real estate agent, an auto mechanic? Well, of course, our choice depends on the nature of our problem. So, reason needs to play a role here in helping us to determine what kind of authority to consult. Okay, let us suppose that our conflict is of a religious nature. We still need to ask which priest, which clergyman, which Rabbi, which Ayatollah or which bodhisattva etc. to choose. So here again, reason has a role to play. There is more. After we have settled who to consult, sometimes we will find that the advice is really bad advice. Sometimes we will find that the advice is really good advice. On still other occasions, we won't know what to make of the advice and will not be able to decide whether it is good or bad. In cases where we believe the advice is bad or where we are at a loss to evaluate it, we can always consult some other person. That is indeed a good thing to do in any case. In fact, we should not just passively listen to the various authorities we seek out. We should actively discuss the matter with them, since...

...While career seeking, many occupations may come to one’s mind. Many will go through great heights to reach their goals, life-long dreams, and accomplish them. Education is the key source for accomplishing those goal. It can be thought of as a prerequisite to greater links to one’s future. While thinking over my own career path, I have come to terms that I have spent majority of my work life in the Human Resource field. What better way to broaden my knowledge by advancing my career into Business Administration? Knowing that I would have to take my education to another level, I sought out a master’s degree in that field to get a better understanding of what I do but at a higher level. When speaking in terms of business, one needs to also think about management. In this passage, the roles of a manager in a functional area of business will be discussed. Though it is evident that all managers’ roles will not be the same, it all depends on what level they are managing. For this discuss, we will discuss the most common fundamental traits that all managers must possess such as leadership, organizational skills, and planning. Leadership A manager is a leader who leads from the front and not the back. Subordinates look to their leader for guidance, reassurance, and knowledge. The manager must be able to provide all of those things. They are counselors in the workplace standing ready to stabilize emotions, solve problems, and guide their staff towards productivity and success. In order for...

...This paper presents a model of second language acquisition based on the social‐psychology of acculturation. The model maintains that certain social and psychological variables cluster into a single variable, acculturation. The model predicts that learners will acquire the target language to the degree they acculturate to the target language group. Six studies that, in various, ways seek to test the Acculturation Model are reviewed and evaluated. Technical problems that affect such research are discussed, and the current status of the model is assessed. The extent to which form-focused instruction contributes to the acquisition of second language implicit knowledge is controversial. Whereas Krashen (1993) has argued that the effects of FFI on acquisition are peripheral, N. Ellis (this issue) sees FFI as facilitative and even necessary for developing implicit L2 knowledge. This article examines the role of FFI in developing implicit knowledge by reviewing 11 studies that have examined the effect of FFI on learners' free production. The review suggests that FFI can contribute to the acquisition of implicit knowledge and points to two variables that appear to influence its success—the choice of the target structure and the extent of the instruction. FFI involving extensive instruction directed at “simple” structures was more likely to succeed. However, limited instruction directed at complex structures also proved effective, provided that the target structures are readily available...

...18, 2012 Module 4 journal Classroom Management and Cooperative Learning There were many different things discussed this week in our readings. I have chosen two that stood out to me as being the most important of this week’s lessons, classroom management and cooperative learning. Classroom management might be one of the single most important things to having a successful teaching career. Some teachers have terrible discipline problems, while others create an atmosphere in the classroom that is conductive to learning, with little apparent effort. Of cause it can be some natural talent to captivate students from the very beginning of the lesson, keep them busy and involved in work all the time and easily solve discipline problems if they appear, and all this without bothering much. There is definitely a lot to envy. Especially when your dear students always disappoint you with misbehavior, constant talking over you, fooling around and growing restless and as a result – poor knowledge of the subject. Fortunately there is a way out – start learning rules of classroom management. I think that if you can focus on four major things you can have good classroom management, these are: effective lessons based on a well-conceived curriculum, good organizational skills, good teacher-student relationships, effective discipline (which can be easily achieved after the first three conditions are satisfied.) The first of these points must not be overlooked...

...SUPERVISION TO SUPPORT TEACHERS As what stated earlier, that one of ways to develop teacher professionalism and qualification is through supervision. Supervision is the basis of teacher career (Chen & Cheng, 2013) which is done by intervension of senior member of a profession to junior member(s) of the same profession. In other word, supervision is done by senior to guide the juniors in developing the juniors cometence in their profession. Furthermore, Scottish Social Service Council in one of published journals stated that supervision is the process which has purpose to support, assure and develop knowledge, skill, and values of the supervisee (person being supervised). Here, supervisor plays a role to improve the supervisee’s performance...

In our presentation, we will discuss his metaphysics and on his metaphysics we look at what is substance, substance-monism, God and the world, and communication between substances. We will look at his ethics and on his ethics we will consider his work on Man. We will discuss his epistemology and on his epistemology we will look at levels of knowledge. We will then proceed to criticize his philosophy and finally make our conclusion. METAPHYSICS Spinoza follows in the path established by Descartes. He adopts Descartes’ situation as his starting point. For Descartes, substance was understood as that which has need of nothing else in order to exist; strictly speaking, only God could be substance. Afterward Descartes came across other substances which did not need other creatures in order to exist, although they did need God; these were the res cogitans and res extansa. Spinoza accepts this quite rigorously, and defines substance in this way:...

Tel: þ 1 407 646 2486; Fax: þ 1 407 646 1550; E-mail: jpjohnson@rollins.edu 1 Abstract Many international business failures have been ascribed to a lack of crosscultural competence (CC) on the part of business practitioners. However, the international business literature appears to lack an adequate conceptualization and definition of the term ‘CC’, focusing instead on the knowledge, skills and attributes that appear to be its antecedents. In this conceptual study, we propose a definition of CC as it applies to international business and develop a model for understanding how CC is nurtured in individuals, linking our definition to the concept of cultural intelligence. We discuss the components of the model and suggest that there are environmental and contextual impediments to the effective application of the requisite skills, knowledge and attributes that have been identified as necessary for CC, resulting in a gap between ‘knowing’ and ‘doing’. We conclude by discussing the implications of the model for practitioners, and by suggesting appropriate directions for further research.
