Discussion Prompt: Weak and Strong Christians

Christians today are divided on what a “good” Christian looks like. Can you drink alcohol, smoke cigars, gamble, go to “R” rated movies, or vote for political candidates who are not “Pro-life”? In this session, we will look at Romans 14-15:13 and try to discern Paul’s view (biblical view) of “weak” versus “strong” Christians. Read the passage again and then respond to the following questions:

Define what Paul means by weak and strong based on this passage.
What conclusions can you make regarding weak and strong Christians in our culture today?
Paul is using the issues of ‘diet’ and ‘special days’ to illustrate his principles. What kind of issues do these translate into in our current culture?
What principles is Paul giving that we can apply to our lives and culture today?

Description

The journal reflection and question set is designed to help students make connections between concepts from module to module.  Often, in order to make these connections, it is necessary to look at emerging research.

Instructions

Read the articles Management of Chronic Functional Constipation in Childhood (Plunkett, Phillips, & Beattie, 2007)before completing the question set.  **ATTACHED**

Question Set

There is no minimum or maximum length expectation for this portion of the assignment.  I expect you to communicate as concisely as possible, and recognize that this will require different lengths of responses for each individual.

1. In one to two sentences, explain the general process of osmosis.  What is the mechanism by which osmosis aids in relieving constipation?

2. Why might stimulant laxatives cause colicky abdominal pain?  What type of pain is being experienced when colicky abdominal pain is described?

3. Consider the normal physiology of bowel elimination; each agent works differently on the underlying altered physiology.  In two to four sentences, explain briefly how osmotic laxatives, stimulant laxatives, and enemas are similar in their mechanism for relieving constipation, and how they differ.

Reflection Prompt

After reading this article, reflect on the normal physiology of bowel elimination.  Why might dietary fiber and fluid intake play a role in the management of constipation at all age groups?  What recommendations for dietary changes might you make to a patient that is being treated for constipation?  What social and environmental factors that play a role in constipation?  Briefly explain some of these factors, as they apply to adults and children.

Explain the various simulators available for mimicking particular mobile device platforms in software. Please describe the pro’s and con’s for each one. Please compare and contrast a minimum of three simulators. (For example Joomla, Drupal and Android Studio simulators)

(do not confuse simulators with emulators https://www.tutorialspoint.com/mobile_testing/mobile_testing_emulator_simulator.htm )

Five Paragraph Essay Format

Introduction:

Introductory Paragraph

See, first, Writing Introductory Paragraphs for different ways of getting your reader involved in your essay. The introductory paragraph should also include the thesis statement, a kind of mini-outline for the paper: it tells the reader what the essay is about. The last sentence of this paragraph must also contain a transitional “hook” which moves the reader to the first paragraph of the body of the paper.

Body:

Body First paragraph:

The first paragraph of the body should contain the strongest argument, most significant example, cleverest illustration, or an obvious beginning point. The first sentence of this paragraph should include the “reverse hook” which ties in with the transitional hook at the end of the introductory paragraph. The topic for this paragraph should be in the first or second sentence. This topic should relate to the thesis statement in the introductory paragraph. The last sentence in this paragraph should include a transitional hook to tie into the second paragraph of the body.

Body Second paragraph:

The second paragraph of the body should contain the second strongest argument, second most significant example, second cleverest illustration, or an obvious follow up the first paragraph in the body. The first sentence of this paragraph should include the reverse hook which ties in with the transitional hook at the end of the first paragraph of the body. The topic for this paragraph should be in the first or second sentence. This topic should relate to the thesis statement in the introductory paragraph. The last sentence in this paragraph should include a transitional hook to tie into the third paragraph of the body.

Body Third paragraph:

The third paragraph of the body should contain the weakest argument, weakest example, weakest illustration, or an obvious follow up to the second paragraph in the body. The first sentence of this paragraph should include the reverse hook which ties in with the transitional hook at the end of the second paragraph. The topic for this paragraph should be in the first or second sentence. This topic should relate to the thesis statement in the introductory paragraph. The last sentence in this paragraph should include a transitional concluding hook that signals the reader that this is the final major point being made in this paper. This hook also leads into the last, or concluding, paragraph.

Conclusion:

Concluding paragraph.

#This paragraph should include the following:

1. an allusion to the pattern used in the introductory paragraph,

2. a restatement of the thesis statement, using some of the original language or language that “echoes” the original language. (The restatement, however, must not be a duplicate thesis statement.)

3. a summary of the three main points from the body of the paper.

1. Discussion:
Is there a problem with leadership or lack leadership in athletics. You can choose a level such as scholastic, pro etc.
