Please let me know if you have another film in mind…

Water

These films were chosen because they show a contrast of cultures in the story line. Each of them also shows families and children being influenced or making decisions based on cultural influences. Choose a video that presents a culture different than the culture you were raised in. As you watch the video you choose, look for the cultural contrasts and influences. One goal of this assignment is for you to see that culture impacts individual members and the choices they make.

After viewing the video you will need to write up your response to the following questions:

Provide a one page summary (in your own words) of the video including information on the main characters and the story line. (5 points)
Describe your reaction to the video and include at least two examples of what conflicted/or complemented your own cultural values. (10 points)
What made the greatest impression on you from one of the cultures represented? Why? (10 points)
How can you use information from the video in your current/future work with families and children? In other words, what will you want to remember from the film that will be useful when working with people from differing cultural backgrounds? (15 points)
Professionalism of the paper is worth up to 5 points (writing conventions, grammar, format, etc.)

45 points total

The total assignment will be a minimum of 3 pages in length. Remember that this is a reflection assignment. We want your impressions. You don’t need to do research or compare “right” answers. Please review prompts to see point distributions for this assignment.

Make sure you type your name and section number on your paper. Write your paper as a Word document and save it. If you don’t have Word, “save as” a rich text file (RTF).

Why is Michelangelos David culturally significant?

February 17, 2020 3 Comments Art, MLA

Why is Michelangelos David culturally significant? What does its subject matter, theme or style tell us about the High Renaissance culture that produced it?

For Davids cultural significance, think about where, when and why the sculpture was carved. Think about who David is, according to the bible. Think about where the sculpture was placed after it was carved, and why.

Tip: In order to understand its significance, you may want to consider who commissioned this statue and its intended function.

READING ASSIGNMENT THREE
The Defense of Christianity
(Minucius Felix: Octavius, 59-62; Celsus, 62-69; Justins First Apology, 74- 81; Athenagoras: Plea Regarding the Christians, 82-88; The Letter to Diognetus, 88-92; Tertullian: Apology, 92-99; Origen: Against Celsus, 99-110)

Instructions: In a few paragraphs, please provide a written response to all of the following questions below. Your responses should show evidence of serious thought and engagement of the questions. [Reminder: Although the Reading Response Assignments are not graded, they are required!]

1) After locating and examining Justin Martyrs thesis in his Apology, discuss why such a thesis is important for him and how he employs it in his argumentation.

2) What is the basis of Justins argument that Christians should be given a fair hearing? How does he and other apologists address the pagan charge of Christian atheism?

3) The apologists are compelled to address pagan religion and the success of Rome. Examine, explore and compare how Tertullian and Minucius Felix argue against both Roman religious piety (as an argument for Romes success) and pagan religion in general.

4) On what grounds are Christians charged with treason and how does Tertullians refutation of the charges in his Apology compare with Athenagoras thesis in his Plea Regarding Christians?

5) How does Origen counter Celsus attack that Christians represent a secret society?

6) Discuss why the Sermon of the Mount (quoted and paraphrased by several apologists) and The Last Judgment were important topics for the apologists arguments.

Examine family health nurse role in various community health settings.

February 17, 2020 4 Comments APA, Health Care and Life Sciences

The family nurse provides care within many facilities in a community.  This is discussed in chapter 17 of your text.  They include nurse home visiting programs, community nursing centers, public health departments, and home education, and community education.  Discuss these facilities in your community as well as access to these resources.  For each resource be sure to include how families in the community benefit. Also discuss three ways in which a family health nurse may be useful in community resources.  Use what you’ve learned about the role of a family health nurse and what he/she may use to help in community settings.
