Discussion: Introduction to Apologetics

The student will complete two discussions in this course. The student will post one thread of at least 400 words. There are two parts to each prompt, so approximately half of the 400 words should be dedicated to each part. For each thread, students must support their assertions with at least one scholarly citation for each prompt part. Be sure to avoid extended quotes. These citations must be in the current Turabian format. Each reply must incorporate at least one scholarly citation in the current Turabian format, also while avoiding extended quotes. Acceptable sources include the textbooks and the Bible.

Answer the following questions:

Why do we engage in apologetics (chapter 1 in Gould)?

What is the relationship of truth to knowledge and faith (chapter 2 in Gould)?
In your thread, give a cohesive response to those 2 questions. Your thread must incorporate the following topics from your assigned reading:

A definition of apologetics that is supported by biblical and practical reasons for doing apologetics (chapter 1 in Gould)
A definition of truth that indicates the relationship of truth to knowledge as well as to faith (chapter 2 in Gould)

4-2 Project One Milestone

Overview
As you can see, each theory makes certain assump�ons about the origins of personality. Depending on the theory, the focus
can be on unconscious mo�vators, unmet needs, social forces, acceptance by your parents, biology, or your predominant
tendencies or traits. If you find yourself following only one par�cular theory or approach, you might develop tunnel vision. You
might miss observa�ons, inferences, and conclusions that don’t fit the assump�ons of your chosen theory. That is why it is
important to be aware of more than one theory, while acknowledging how they compare and contrast. Understanding the
differences between theories will allow you to acknowledge the strengths and weaknesses of each theory. It will also allow you
to think of the person on different levels.
For this assignment, you will compare and contrast two personality theories or approaches from the personality theory list. For
example, humanis�c psychology and psychoanaly�c theory are almost polar opposites so these are easier to contrast, yet there
are some commonali�es, too. The choice of which two personali�es or approaches to compare is up to you. This milestone
prepares you for Project One, due in Module Six.
Personality Theories and Approaches
• Humanis�c psychology
• Psychoanaly�c theory
• Neo‐Freudian/object rela�ons theory
• Trait approach
• Biological perspec�ve
• Mo�va�on
Prompt
To begin your milestone, first select two personality theories from the list provided that you think contrast in meaningful ways.
Next, use your Project One Milestone Template to address the following rubric criteria:
1. Iden�fy which two theories or approaches you will compare and contrast and explain why you chose them. Your
response should be about 2 to 4 sentences.
2. Describe how your two chosen theories differ by selec�ng 3 topics from A through G below. Your response for each
topic should be about 3 to 5 sentences.
A. Scien�fic nature
▪ Do the theories you selected differ on their scien�fic nature? Is one theory more scien�fic? Consider the
techniques used to collect informa�on and devise theories.
▪ Jus�fy your response.
B. Nature versus nurture
▪ Do the theories you selected differ on the roles of nature versus nurture? Does one theory favor one
role to a greater degree than the other? Or is one more neutral in regard to the role of nature and
nurture?
▪ Jus�fy your response.
C. Origin of problems
▪ Do the theories you selected differ in their determina�on of the origin of mental health or adjustment
issues?
▪ Jus�fy your response.
D. Pathology
▪ Do the theories you selected differ in the emphasis on the pathology of problems versus focusing on
thriving and finding meaning in life? Or is one theory more neutral on the role of pathology versus
thriving?
▪ Jus�fy your response.
E. Free will
▪ Do the theories you selected differ on the role of free will? Does one theory do a be�er job of conveying

G. Internal versus external s�muli
▪ Do the theories you selected favor the role of internal or external s�muli more? Do they define behavior
as more ac�ve or reac�ve?
▪ Jus�fy your response.
3. Describe at least one similarity between your two selected theories. Your response should be about 3 to 5 sentences.

COLL300 research questions, thesis statement and rhetorical analysis

Write three of your research questions here (remember that, if the question can be answered by YES or NO, it is a closed-ended question that does not invite discussion and so should be revised):

Question 1.

Question 2.

Question 3.

Write your thesis statement here (one complete sentence that is not a question):

Write paragraphs that respond to the questions below:

1. What is my purpose in writing this paper?

2. What do I already know about my topic? What are my feelings toward this topic?

3. What do my readers already know? What are my readers’ feelings toward the topic?

4. What do my readers need to know to understand my point?

5. What information do I need to research and add to my paper?

Begin by looking at the research question(s) which triggered this thesis statement. Then explain your purpose (passing the course is not the purpose here). Your thesis statement is a good place to start, but you need to go a bit further. Are you trying to inform, entertain, persuade, or do something else? Consider the “audience take-away.” What do you want your readers to know, feel, or believe when they finish reading your research paper? A clear understanding of your purpose will help you decide what information to include in your paper and how to organize your paper.

 Literary Criticism Theory Application

For our discussion this week, let’s see how well you understand literary criticism approaches by examining an image. Take a look at the image below from the cover of a book based on Perrault’s Cinderella or The Little Glass Slipper. Decide upon one or more of the lenses/approaches (Links to an external site.) from which to view this image. (ex.- How might a feminist view this image? What does this image say about the economic values of a particular culture? Is there a religious influence in this image?How about viewing it through an ecocriticism lens?) I would like to see as many approaches as possible discussed throughout this discussion from our large class so refer to the previous slides within this week’s module.

DO NOT SUMMARIZE the plot of the tale. There is no text here, so only interpret based on what you see through that lens.

Begin by identifying the lens/approach you are using, see the Purdue OWL (Links to an external site.).
Briefly define it and then discuss your criticism of the image through that lens.
Simply restating what someone else has said in a different way will not earn you any points. Sure, you may use the same approach as another classmate, but your stance and analysis must differ.
Also, responding to others’ posts by simply telling them what a great job they did in their initial post will also earn no points.
Respond to others’ posts by challenging or furthering their critical approach, not just that it’s interesting or done well. Continue to extend their lens further or question their interpretation and then offer an alternative:)
