Exegesis Paper- Need a rough draft by this Sunday

You will complete an exegesis of a passage from the New Testament (employing methods of interpretation and perspectives, such as literary and historical context, literary form, and structure). Exegesis means to expound upon a text, to unpack a text of its many meanings. Elements of various types of criticism will be employed to further develop your ability to interpret the Bible. The paper should be 2000-3000 words in length and follow MLA style.

Select one of the following passages as the basis for your exegesis:

ï‚· Matthew 6:9-13

ï‚· Matthew 17:1-13 – My Selection

ï‚· Luke 9:18-36

ï‚· Luke 11:2-4

Follow the outline below and answer the questions in each section using recommended sources. Keep the outline headings below as the subheadings of your exegesis.

1. Literary Criticism

a. Context: What follows and precedes your passage? Are your pages affected by this context?

b. Form criticism: What is the literary form of your passage? Are there other places in the Bible (or related text) where this form is used and which help to interpret this passage?

c. Structure: Do you detect any particular structural pattern (e.g., parallelism within your assigned book of the Bible)? Describe the parts of your passage.

d. Redaction criticism: Has your passage come through an editorial process? What changes have been made? Explain why certain changes have been made.

e. Key words: What are the theologically important words in the passage? Do these words evoke any other parts of the Bible? Are these words used in a new way by the author of this passage? What do these words mean?

2. Theological Analysis

a. What does this passage say about the relationship with God?

b. What questions might this passage have addressed in the community for which it was originally written?

[Some of the ideas above are adopted from A Guide to Biblical Exegesis by G. Landes and W. Wink (unpublished.)]

You should document your exegesis carefully. Be sure to use some material from the bibliography in the course Doc Sharing area for your exegesis, especially the biblical reference books. Below are some hints for successfully completing the paper:

1. Look up your passage in the New Testament.

2. Consult a general commentary (such as The Jerome Biblical Commentary, The New Jerome Biblical Commentary, or The Collegeville Bible Commentary).

3. Consult specific commentaries (see the course bibliography in Doc Sharing, e.g., Harrington’s Matthew’s Gospel, Fitzmyer’s The Gospel According to Luke).

4. Conduct a periodical search (through EBSCO) of your passage, limiting search to full-text, peer-reviewed journals.

Use the checklist below to ensure that you are following the format properly:

1. Are all ideas documented (including page numbers)?

2. Are all quotations documented (including page numbers)?

4

3. Is there a works cited page?

4. Do the notes and bibliography include sources recommended by the syllabus?

5. Does the format include the headings from the syllabus?

6. Does each sentence make sense?

7. Does the “form” section clearly name a literary form?

8. Does the redaction section contrast the assigned passage with Mark’s version (except for infancy narrative and Lord’s Prayer)?

9. Does the key word section include more than one key word?

10. Does the key word section refer to Old Testament material?

A draft of the paper is due by the conclusion of Module 5 and is worth 5% of the course grade. The final paper is due by the conclusion of Module 7 and is worth 25% of the course grade. A grading rubric is available in the course Doc Sharing area.

A hotel, which is 300 meters from the beach at Surfer’s Paradise, advertises throughout Australia that it is ‘only a stone’s throw from the beach’. Has it committed a breach of s18 of the Australian Consumer Law (ACL)? Has it committed a criminal offencce under ACL?

The Role of Consultation and Advocacy

1) Gather the Data related to your montly cash inflows and outlfows. For examles, how much do you take home in your paychecks eah monrth (4000). What orther sources of income do you have? What expenses do you have-rent (821), Utilites (32) Gas (60) (insurance (125) Groceries (200) entertainment (100) car (380) cell phone (10)

2)Creat a new workbook for the sample financial data. Use the first worksheet as a documentation sheet that includes your name, and date on which you start creating the workbook, and a brief descritpion of the workbooks pruspose.

3) Plan the structure of the second worksheet, which will contain the budget. Include a setion to enter values that remain consistent from month to month, such as monthly income and expenses. AS you develop the budget worksheet, reference these cells in formulas that require those values. Later you can update any of these vlaues to see the changes immdeiately relfeted throughout the budget.

4) In the budget worksheet, enter realistic monthly earnings for each month of the year. Use formulas to calculate the total earnings each month, average montlhy earnings, and the total earnings for the entire year.

5) In the budget worksheet, eneter realistic personal expenses for each month. Divide the expenses into at least three ctegories, proiding subtotals for ech category and grand total of all the monthly expense. Calculate the average monthly expense and total expense for the year.

6) Calculate the monthly net cash flow (the value of total income minus total expenses)

7) Use the cash flow values to track the savings throughout the year. Use realistic amount for savings at the beginning of the year. Use the montly net chas flow values to add or subtract fom the value. Project the end-of-war balance in the savings account under your propsed budget.

8). Format the worksheets contents using appropriate text and number formats. Add colors and border to make the content easier to read and interpret. Use cell styles and themes to provide your worksheet with a uniform apperance.

9) Use conditional formatting to automatically hightlight negtive net cash flow months.

10) insert a pie charge thta compares the monthly expenese for the categories.
11) Insert a column chart that charts all of the monthly expenses regardless of the category.

12)Insert a line charge or sparkline that shows the change in the savings balance trhoughtout the 12 months of the year.

13) Insert new rows t the top of the worksheet and enter titles tht describe the worksheet’s contents

14) Examine your assumptions. How likely are cwertain events to occur? Perform several what-if analyses on your budget. providing the impact of (a) reducting income with expenses remaining constant, (b) increasing expenses with income remaining constant, (c) reducting income and expenses, and (d) increasing income and expenses. Discuss the different scenarios you explored. How much cushion does your project income give you if expenses increas? what are some thinks you can do in your budget to accommodate this scenario.

15)Thinking of a major purchase you might want to make- for example, a car or a house. Determine the amount of the purcchase and the current annual interest rate charged by your local bacnk. Provide a reasonalbe lenght of time to repay the loan, such as five years for a car loan or 20 to 30 years for a home loan. Use the PMT function to determine how much you would have to spend heac month on paymnets for your purchased. You can do calculations on separate worksheet.

16) Add the loan information to your monlthy budget and evaluate the purchase of this item on your budget. Is it affordable Examine other possible loans you might purse and evaluate their impact on your budget. Come up with the most realistic way of paying off the loan while still maintaing a reasonable monthly cash flow and a cushion agains unexpect expenses. If the payment exceeds your budget, reduce the estimated price of the itesm youre thinking of purchaseing until you determine the monty payment you can afford under the conditions of the loan.

17. after settling on a budget and the terms of a loan that can afford, develop an action plan for putting your budget into place. What are some potential pitfalls that will prohibit you from the following through on your proposed budget? How can you increase the likelihood that you will follow the budget? be specific, and write down a list of goals and benchmarks that you’ll use to monitor your progress in the folliwng your finical plan.

Application: Part Two: Socio-Ecological Assessment

Socio-ecological assessments aid health professionals in determining which factors, individual or environmental, most influence health. Additionally, socio-ecological assessments may help establish evidence of the social determinants of health that can explain observed differences with respect to health disparities.

For this Assignment, use the same population and health issue that you selected for your Application in Week 5. Consider the social determinants of health and how they may influence the health issue for your population.

The Assignment (2 pages)

• Describe the population and health issue you selected, including why both the population and issue are important for the health profession.
• Explain which two social determinants of health most impact the health issue for this population and why.
• Explain how the social determinants of health that you selected impact the health behavior of your population and why.

Submit your Assignment by Day 7.

Using the Socio-Ecological Model to Evaluate Social Determinants of Health

In what ways can health professionals use the SEM to address health disparities associated with the social determinants of health? How can health professionals use the SEM to implement effective interventions to improve health outcomes?

The social determinants of health are those unfair conditions in the social environment that affect how people live. These unfair conditions also increase the risk for illness and can reduce life expectancy. The inequitable distribution of various social determinants of health, such as substandard housing conditions or poverty, exacerbates health disparities. Yet, the social determinants of health are influenced by greater political and economic forces at the global, national, and local levels.

The SEM is useful for planning interventions that focus on social determinants. The model allows health professionals to consider individual health behaviors within a socio-ecological context. The socio-ecological context provides a whole-system approach to health and the built environment. Using an integrated socio-ecological framework, health professionals can explore the role of substandard housing, poverty, or education in creating disparate health outcomes. Health professionals can also gain further insight for strategies to challenge society, the economic or political climate, and to transform inequitable environments.

For this Discussion,your instructor will assign you to groups. Review the articles assigned to your group and reflect on how various levels in the SEM may serve as an intervention for a health disparity.

Group A: Colorectal Cancer

Post by Day 3 an explanation of how you would apply the interpersonal and organizational levels of the Socio-Ecological Model for the prevention of colorectal cancer. Explain how these levels of the Socio-Ecological Model might contribute to or influence proposed interventions for colorectal cancer.

Remember to begin interaction with your colleagues in the Discussion no later than Day 5 and continue engaging through Day 7 by suggesting an alternative intervention not mentioned by your colleagues in Group B that applies to the organizational level of the Socio-Ecological Model.

Support your work with specific citations from this week’s Learning Resources and additional scholarly sources as appropriate. Refer to the Essential Guide to APA Style for Walden Students to ensure that your in-text citations and reference list are correct.

Group B: HIV

Post by Day 3 an explanation of how you would apply the community, society, and/or policy levels of the Socio-Ecological Model for the prevention of HIV. Explain how these levels of the Socio-Ecological Model might contribute to or influence proposed interventions for HIV.

Remember to begin interaction with your colleagues in the Discussion no later than Day 5 and continue engaging through Day 7. Continue the Discussion by Day 5 and suggest an alternative intervention not mentioned by your colleagues in Group A that applies to the community, society, and/or policy levels of the Socio-Ecological Model.

Describe the potential advantages and disadvantages associated with rotating engineers through the racing teams. Explain how the experience on the racing teams could be used to develop GM employees who have other types of jobs. and some details here about general motors: its general motors case for  Managing and Behavior in Organizations   Other signs that the revitalization at General Motors is genuine involve changes to the company’s management practices. For example, consider the steps the company has taken to develop creativity and urgency of engineers who need to introduce fresh new vehicles into the marketplace at an improved pace. Traditionally, engineers worked long-term product development cycles involving high levels of structure, control, and routine.91Engineers are now rotated through GM’s racing teams for a season so that they can learn how to perform in a context where problem solving is quicker and more fluid. In racing, there’s less information and time available, and as a consequence, engineers learn to become more comfortable making decisions based on their gut feelings and experience, rather than on an exhaustive analysis of data and consideration of benefits and costs from every conceivable vantage point, so that the best compromise can be reached. General Motors is willing to accept that some decisions will be wrong, however; decisions will be made quicker, and perhaps more important, knowledge gained from bad decisions can be used to inform better future decisions. How well will this practice work? Although it is difficult to predict, the 20 new vehicles that General Motors introduced in 2012 compare favorably to the 19 that its chief rival Toyota introduced in 2011.92
