What are the literary clues which make the case that the verses selected for your passage function as a unit which is set apart from the rest of the chapter or the book of the Bible it is in?

2.6:chosen passage: Hosea 11:1-11 – “When Israel was a child . . .”

One of the most important tasks in analyzing the literary world of your selected passage is to identify how it functions as a part of a larger whole. The books of the Bible were originally written on scrolls of papyrus and often consisted of block letters smushed together with little or no punctuation to tell you which letters went with which word and where the paragraph breaks would indicate a shift in thought. There simply were no paragraph breaks! Part of this was making good use of all of the space you had to write with! So, readers of these texts would have to read and discern where words and paragraph breaks would be: Does this section of writing better go with what comes before or what comes after?

So the first thing we want you to do is determine what makes your selected Bible passage a ‘literary unit’.

  1. What is it that makes you particular passage a ‘unit’ which fits together?
    • Are there ‘beginning markers’? that is, words or phrases which seem to indicate the beginning of a new section of writing?
    • Beginning markers might include a title or a shift in time, place, people, theme, style.
    • Are there ‘ending markers’? that is, words or phrases which seem to indicate a conclusion or a summary statement.
  2. When you look at the verses which come before or after your particular passage, why were those verses left out from the passage designated for you to study?
  3. What are the literary clues which make the case that the verses selected for your passage function as a unit which is set apart from the rest of the chapter or the book of the Bible it is in?

Example: Genesis 1:1 – 2:3

As an example, when we look at the literary structure of Genesis 1, we can see a beginning marker like “In the beginning, God created . . .” which opens that section. We see ending makers like “and there was evening and morning day one,” “evening and morning day two,” which creates two smaller literary sections which relate to the whole. The entire literary unit consists of the creation of the heavens and the earth and all that is in them in six days, with God resting on the seventh day. We know that the literary unit extends into Genesis 2 because we can see the summary statement which connects with the opening verse: “Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their multitude,” followed by God’s resting on and blessing the seventh day, which also serves as an ending maker of the passage. We can also see that Genesis 2:4 begins a new literary unit, because it begins with “These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created.” The term ‘generations’ is a new term which was not part of the previous literary unit and what follows does not follow the same structures and conventions found in Genesis 1:1 – 2:3. Thus, by looking at literary features of this passage, we can identify both ‘beginning markers’ and ‘ending markers’—that is, words and phrases—to helps us discern which verses go together to form a ‘literary unit’.

Instructions

  1. These deep dives require that you read each item of the instructions very carefully.
  2. As you respond to each element of this deep dive, it is recommended that you copy and paste your responses into a separate, word-processor documentyou can save and keep for your own records. Doing so will allow you to save your notes and research to help you write your final paper.
  3. Spend some time below analyzing your passage of the Bible you will write your “Three Worlds” paper on.
  4. Make a list of no less than 10 statements (formatted as a list) which indicate your passage functions as an individual unit and point to specific words, phrases, and terms which help mark it off as a separate unit from what comes before or after it.
  5. Alternatively, if you believe your passage does not function as a separate unit, provide your list of statements to make that argument. Should more verses before or after your passage be included in your passage or not? Why or why not?
  6. Special Note: Be sure to open your response with the Bible reference of your passage, so I can look up the passage myself as I read over your notes and statements. 

Statement Requirements

  • A statement is a short, concise sentence which clearly communicates some insight or observation about your passage.
  • Each statement should be between 20 – 40 words in length

What does it mean to say that the Tychonic theory of the planets is empirically equivalent to the Copernican theory of the planets, on the evidence available to Galileo? Are those two theories completely empirically equivalent, or are there observations and arguments that force us to choose one over the other?

/in /by

Discussion

In total, you will answer FOUR questions. Each of the first three, and one of the last two. (To answer fully, you probably need to write about a page for each question.)

1. What philosophical problems make it difficult to determine the correct theory of the universe? In your answer, discuss problems of theory choice (e.g., theories of truth, the Quine-Duhem thesis, under determination, the ambiguity of falsification, the problem of induction, etc.).

2. Compare and contrast the Aristotelian worldview with the Newtonian worldview. In what ways are these systems of beliefs similar and different?

3. What does it mean to say that the Tychonic theory of the planets is empirically equivalent to the Copernican theory of the planets, on the evidence available to Galileo? Are those two theories completely empirically equivalent, or are there observations and arguments that force us to choose one over the other?

Then answer ONE of these:

1. Explain the four principles at the heart of Darwin’s theory of evolution.

2. Choose one of Einstein’s surprising results and explain it.

A movie theater charges different ticket prices depending on a person’s age. If a person is under the age of 3, the ticket is free; if they are between 3 and 12, the ticket is $10; and if they are over age 12, the ticket is $15. Write a loop in which you ask users their age, and then tell them the cost of their movie ticket.

Requirements

Use idle or https://www.programiz.com/python-programming/online-compiler/ to create a completely new Python program that uses and integrates the input function, the while loop function, and the if statement all together. You have some flexibility with how you do your project, but it must meet the basic requirements.

Movie Tickets: A movie theater charges different ticket prices depending on a person’s age. If a person is under the age of 3, the ticket is free; if they are between 3 and 12, the ticket is $10; and if they are over age 12, the ticket is $15. Write a loop in which you ask users their age, and then tell them the cost of their movie ticket.

Here are some details and suggestions:

  • Use a while loop to ask for the person’s age over and over again.
  • Use an input function to get the age. Remember to use int(input(… because the age is an integer.
  • Use an if statement to test the entered age and print the price for the person.
  • You will need a way to end the while loop. One option is to have the person enter 99 for the age to quit. There are many ways to handle this, but the word “break” (without quotes) ends a loop. If the age is 99, you could have break in the code for that if option. Rubric

To achieve a satisfactory grade for this project, you must successfully create a Python program that runs and meets all the requirements of the project. Your project also must be substantially different from anyone else’s project.

Assignment instructions SOC230g:

Values can be defined as standards of behavior that individuals live by. They guide us in our decision-making. They generally come from our culture and our life experience and define how we think life should be. You probably know people that share values that are like yours and others whose values are quite different from yours—most likely because they do not share the same life experience and/or culture.

The authors of the Woodside and McClam text identify five values that they believe most important for guiding human services professionals:

  • Acceptance
  • Tolerance
  • Respect for Individuality
  • Self-determination
  • Confidentiality

Use this discussion to complete the activity regarding values and the human services professional.

  • Identify the single value that you believe to be the most important for you from the list of five in the text (Respect for Individuality). What other values do you believe should be included on the list? (Fairness, care, integrity, and honesty).
  • Considering the values and characteristics of effective human services professionals that have been most meaningful to you, define your own personal philosophy of helping and include the role of empathy in your definition.

Quote Reflection: The Professional Helper

“True happiness is not attained through
self-gratification, but through fidelity
to a worthy purpose.”
— Helen Keller –

Sharing the gift of reading is one of the most valuable gifts that one person can give to another. – Anne Sullivan –

Any person who chooses a career as a Human Services professional will be able to relate in a personal way to the two quotes included in this assignment. The lives of Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan were closely connected from the time that Anne Sullivan became the teacher of 6-year-old Keller until Sullivan’s death in 1936 at the age of 70.

Anne Sullivan delivered a speech at her June 1886 graduation from the Perkins School for the Blind where she was valedictorian of her class. As she addressed her fellow students, she included these words:

“Duty bids us go forth into active life. Let us go cheerfully, hopefully, and earnestly, and set ourselves to find our especial part.
When we have found it, willingly and faithfully perform it; for every obstacle we overcome, every success we achieve tends to bring man closer to God.”

Read the quotes above and then the biographies of Anne Sullivan and Helen Keller. Based on your integration and application of the chapter readings, module notes, professional experience, and external sources, compose a thoughtful response to the following discussion prompts:

  • How do the lives and work of both Anne Sullivan and Helen Keller reflect the various roles that human services professionals fulfill in their work?
  • Anne Sullivan faced tremendous obstacles, especially in her early work with Helen Keller. She never gave up. What do you believe motivated her to keep on going?
