...Why is the Cross at the heart of Christian Anthropology? Christian Anthropology is the study of humans and Theology is the study of God. Jesus Christ was 100% God and 100% man. Accordingly Jesus can be studied in both Anthropology and Theology. Therefore the cross is at the heart of Anthropology because it is the study of Jesus God-man and humans who crucified Him on the cross. Christian Anthropology is a word made with two Greek words, Anthropos meaning “man” and logos meaning “word, matter, or thing.” Furthermore we use the word Christian “anthropology” to the study of man in reference to the Scripture. Therefore it involves studies and creation of man who was created in the “image of God. Consequently this includes the established nature of man before and after the fall. As a result of the fall human life has never been the same; anthropology is also concerned with human dignity, freedom, depravity, culture, and society. Since the creation of the world God had a plan to redeem mankind from sin through the cross of Christ Jesus by the shedding of His blood. Accordingly man freedom is the heart of the cross of Jesus. When we study man, his fall and redemption we have to understand our sins hence we have the word Hamartiogy. “Hamartiology,” is a word made up by two Greek terms hamartia meaning “sin” and logos. Furthermore it includes the biblical doctrine of sin including its origin, nature, transmission, effects, and judgment. In this essay the writer will briefly examine texts...

...of my life in running cross-country. The morning practices every weekday during the summer, the speed workouts on the track, the distance runs that never seem to end, all these have become part of my life. Without cross-country, I would have never been able to find out how much potential I have. Cross-country has allowed me to break down barriers and achieve goals I never dreamed possible. Because of cross-country, I have learned time management, leadership, and how to have a positive mentality. Cross-country has allowed me to meet people who I would have never even known. As an older member of the team, I am a role model for the younger members. As a result, I make sure to include younger girls on the team, whether it be by inviting them out to breakfast after a summer practice or including them in the conversation during warm-ups. I also give pep talks to my teammates before races to help calm their nerves. I have become a better leader due to my involvement in cross-country, which will benefit me as a nurse. Cross-country requires dedication in order to be successful. I have had to stay in on Friday nights instead of going to football games because the bus leaves at 4:30 the next morning for a meet. Because I had to wake up at 6:15 the next morning for practice, I could not stay out late on summer nights....

...quote defining freedom and liberty, but why? Many people today don’t truly know the power of that simple line, boldly defying the oppression in Berlin that personally affected tens of thousands of people. But why? You may ask, What’s so bad about dividing a city? Well, below are just a few examples of some things that would be faced by normal people during the occupation of Berlin. One of the first things you could have faced was being separated from your family. As unthinkable as it sounds today many people were separated from the rest of their families, sometimes permanently. The wall was put up over night, with no warning, the ban on travel was effective immediately. That meant if you lived on the east side of the wall you wouldn’t be able to cross the wall, even to visit you family. Technically their were ways to get a visa to temporally cross the boarder, however the likelihood of you actually getting one was very slim. I previously mentioned that the Berlin wall was a symbol of tyranny,...

...The symbol of the cross has always taken a fundamental and cardinal role in the Christian faith. The cross serves as a reminder to Christians that God is with them in their pain, suffering and sorrow. It reinforces their strength of faith in times of great need, because the symbol of the cross reminds Christians that not only did God send His only son to earth to be crucified in order to save us from our sins, but also that both God and Jesus have suffered for our sakes and salvation. The history of the world has been characterised by great human suffering. One can reflect upon horrific events such as the Holocaust and the Twin Towers tragedy and wonder how God, who is supposed to love everyone unconditionally, can permit such inhumane catastrophes to occur. The answer which theologians have provided is that God does not will for these sufferings to befall us, but is present in our suffering and “really suffers with all who suffer in this world” (Johnson, 2007, 61). The symbol of the cross, which Jesus was crucified on, serves to remind Christians that they are not alone in their agony. It is an image of comfort for those in pain, because it brings to mind the sacrifice God made for us in sending His son to intimately share in the world’s pain. The cross symbolises that “God, who is love…freely plunges into the midst of pain and tastes its bitterness to the bitter end in order to save” (Johnson, 2007, 59). Therefore, the symbol of the cross is emotionally significant to Christians...

...1 MGT201. Communication and Soft Skills 2015 University of Management and Technology 1 Assignment 3 1. In the book's Preface, Tannen states: "...all communication is more or less crosscultural." What does she mean by this statement? Why is it important to approach communication among people as an exercise in understanding possible cross-cultural differences among them? Illustrate your points with examples. Tannen states in her book, page 14, “all communication is more or less cross-cultural:” What she means is that the culture in which a person grew up has a great influence on how this person will behave among others. Culture is the characteristics and knowledge of a particular group of people, defined by everything from language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music, arts, it serves as the patterns of behaviors and interactions among people in the same culture, it is also how people interact and understand what are learned by socialization. Communicate with others encounters many barriers implemented by the family and society, i.e. culture which we grew up. As mentioned by Tannen “We learn to use language as we grow up, and growing up in different parts of the country, having different ethnic, religious, or class backgrounds, even just being male or female— all result in different ways of talking, all due to the culture each person absorbed growing up. And diverse in culture causes differences in conversational style which might result in individually minor...

Culture is defined as a set of behaviors, symbols, and attitudes that are shared among a large group of people and this is usually been passed down from one generation to the next (Shiraev & Levy, 2010).

...Behavior and Communication Paper BCOM/230 Behavior and Communication Paper I chose to write my paper on the American Red Cross. I found a lot of interesting information that I did not about this organization. The American Red Cross help people in need all over the world. Additionally, they are one of the nation’s premier humanitarian organizations, operation for over 100 years (The American Red Cross, 2015). The Red Cross has been a consistent lifeline for people when they needed them the most. (The Red Cross, 2015). Based on my review and research of this organization I feel that the culture of the Red Cross would be both people and team orientation. The Red Cross is made up of volunteers and generous donors. Most of their aids are administrated in groups. That demonstrates teamwork. The Red Cross have many different ways to communicate internally and externally. They are a mass organization or should I say a mega group. They communicate with their employees, board of directors, volunteers by emails, meetings, training, seminars, mail, and memos. When they reach out to the public they have several different ways of doing that whether it’s by press releases, photos, public service events, publications, advertising, and celebrity & entertainment programs. They do a lot of fundraisings because they are a non-profit organization, and they also receive generous donations too. So everything, that they do, is strictly because of people like you and I. Whether it’s from...
