How can nature impact/help human happiness and well-being

/in /by

This paper will be about “How can nature impact/help human happiness and well-being”
The research paper will synthesize the research findings on this topic (in its first section) and then discuss and analyze those findings (in its second section). In the second section, you will be entering into the “conversation” about the point you have researched. Some questions you will want to consider as you proceed: in what ways is the research clear cut? In what ways is it contradictory? In what ways is it not clear at all? What issues does it not address? This analysis, or critique, need not be argumentative in the sense of being an attack—it should be questioning and examining in nature.
After you have done that, the final task will be to discuss the implications of what your study has been able to determine, about what a reader might learn about the connection between your selected topic and increased happiness. What should anyone learn from this (not just you)? And lastly, your final paragraph will attempt to lay out a specific plan of how you personally will try to apply this knowledge now to yourself, to increase your own happiness.

Analyze the purpose, audience, and message of your ad and what rhetorical techniques the ad uses to communicate this message. Hint—the message is probably more complex than simply: “Buy our product!” Consider the following: medium; context; audience; tone; voice; appeals to ethos, logos, and pathos; and other rhetorical tools we’ve discussed; pay particular attention to visual composition and rhetoric. Ultimately, your paper may conclude by answering this question: Is the ad effective? Why, or why not? Essentially, you are analyzing a) the tools the ad uses to appeal to its audience and b) how effective those appeals are.
remember my classmates and teacher are the audiences for this essay.

Decision-Making Cases  

Choose only one of the decision-making cases below to answer questions in the “Ethical Decision-Making” assignment. The questions at the end of each case are intended for you to reflect on. Do not copy the case into your assignment document.

Decisions of Life and Death

Janie is your sister’s best friend, and when Janie was a senior in high school, she fractured her neck in a diving accident. The doctors say that she is a quadriplegic–paralyzed from the shoulders down. All of Janie’s dreams for college, romance, and a meaningful life seem to be over; she cannot even take care of her own basic needs. Janie has even talked to your sister about whether it makes sense to keep on living. Knowing that you are reading the Bible for your Christian worldview class, they want to know if the Bible has anything to say about life and death issues, such as suicide and euthanasia.

Abortion

After trying for many years, Ruth finally gets pregnant. A blood test confirms that her baby has Down syndrome, and her doctors suggest she abort the fetus. A child with Down syndrome would involve extra care which could continue for a lifetime. Ruth has a successful career and wants to maintain a healthy balance between her career and family. Yet she feels very uncomfortable with abortion. Knowing that you are learning about the Christian worldview, Ruth wonders what the moral response would be.

The Shirt

Edwin is a college student and has a wife and two young children. His favorite store is an online vendor that sells decent, quality clothing for college-student prices. As he looks at the page, though, he recognizes the pattern of the shirt from a documentary he saw the night before about the crowded, unsafe factories in South Asia and the children they employ. Remembering that you are in a Christian worldview class, he texts you to see if the Bible might have anything to say about buying that shirt.

College Admissions

Jess and Rebekah love their children and want their children to have whatever advantages possible. Even though their children have not really had stellar high school careers and are on a trajectory for a community college, Jess and Rebekah had hoped their children would attend Ivy League schools. Recently, Jess and Rebekah have been approached about “enhancing their children’s possibilities” on getting in to a more prestigious school. It will cost some significant money for what amounts to rigging the system. They are having second thoughts, though, and knowing that you have studied Christian worldview, are seeking your biblically based advice.

The Need to Succeed

GCU graduate Jamal is a worker at a neighborhood children’s center. He works with a very limited budget, and more children in the program means more funds from foundations. He is tempted to inflate the numbers slightly, which will possibly allow him to provide more programs for more children in the future. Remembering back to his Christian worldview class, what guidance does the Bible and sound thinking provide?

LopesWrite Interloper

Aaron is a busy college student–is there any other kind? He has work, class, and even ministry responsibilities. Late one night, feeling the pressure of all of the things he needed to do, he considers doing a “copy and paste” from some sources he is pretty sure that a plagiarism checker will not pick up. Before he goes ahead with it, he picks up his phone and texts you. How do you advise him?

The Client List

Susan has been working at an internship, and it required a confidentiality agreement when she began. It aligns with her major, she makes decent money while in school, and it could possibly lead to a career after graduation. Recently, a former coworker has suggested that she take the client list with her–Susan was responsible for gathering some of those clients in the first place–and join in a start-up. Susan remembers that you have studied Christian worldview and has invited you for coffee so that you can bring some biblical principles that might help her in deciding what to do.
