Article Summary An interesting study authored by Goel (2015) scrutinized the multitude of literature from split-brain patients and concluded the hemispheric dissimilarity in the efficient organization of prefrontal cortex (PFC) has not been established and investigated thoroughly. Research primarily restricted the role of the right hemisphere (RH) to little more than the visual organization. The literature with split-brain individuals offers substantial evidence for a left hemisphere (LH)…
While traveling down the road of the Triple A Approach, one might come to a fork. Here he will “see something” and then have the tough choice of “saying something”. One route might appear more comfortable for the moment, but the other could improve a child’s comfort for a lifetime. Part of following Christ’s call to serve the Bluebonnet Children could mean making a call to the Department of Children and Families. It is tempting to leave this dark work up to the “professionals”. It is common…
Manipulative play allows children to use their hands and fingers to build or piece things together (usually puzzles, beads, blocks, small toys). Manipulative play allows children to use objects in different ways. It increases their cognitive and problem solving skills. Physical play is anything that is getting a child active. Using the whole body to get moving. This type of play has multiple pros; mental and physical growth, fitness, health, while it still being fun. Creative play is the messy…
either concrete or abstract concepts (Huitt & Hummel, 2003). This is most especially evident when students are working with real-world problems. They are required to “translate” a real-life observation into mathematical equations which accurately reflect the situation in order to obtain a solution, and often times, this one of the most challenging aspects of problem…
Origen ultimately believed that evil exists because the soul is on a voyage to get back to God and Holiness. Sin, suffering, evil, and injustice are merely obstacles on the soul’s journey to purification. Furthermore, Origen presumed that because God is the Creator and the soul is supposed to journey back to the creator, God allows evil so that it causes the soul to return to Him. Or, as the author states, “[Origen] characterizes God as a Father, Teacher, and Physician who providentially…
The greatest contention that McCloskey postures against mystical faith in God is the thing that has been termed the issue of malevolence. McCloskey says that if a flawless, all-effective and entirely great God exists, then He would not have made a world in which unavoidable enduring and abhorrence exist. This contention can be an extremely troublesome one to handle from a mystical perspective, yet there are various conceivable clarifications for how a flawless and all-capable God can permit…
In report writing, there’s always a main point that needs an explanation. For example, situation report accomplishes exactly what the title states; it is a formal written explanation regarding a situation containing “verified, factual information that gives a clear picture of the "who, what, where, when, why and how" of an incident or situation” (Neill, 2014) As stated in the reading, as a writer of a technical report, it is important to understand the "rhetorical situation" so you can target…
The Problem of Evil It is often asked why evil and suffering exists if the world was created by a God who is omnipotent, omniscient, and good. This question is often referred to as the problem of evil, which can be stated as follows: “Quite frequently horrible things happen. We know that we ought to do all in our power to prevent these things, but often we have not the means of doing so. […] Good people do not intervene because they are powerless. Wicked people do not intervene because they are…
The problem of evil arises in both of the philosophical arguments by Gottfried Leibniz and J. L. Mackie, as they attempt to argue for and against the existence of God. The title of Leibniz’s book, Theodicy, translates into “the vindication of God’s power and goodness despite the existence of evil,” and so Leibniz attempts to solve the problem of evil through his work (Martin 313). Mackie’s work, Evil and Omnipotence, sets forth a strong thesis in his argument challenging religious belief in God.…
A Problem of evil is the Acceptance of the assumption that God does not exist in the minds of atheists. Atheists argued that should God exit, then a pious person, such as Job in the Biblical Book of Job, who kept his faith in God, should not have suffered miserably from undeserved evil on earth. To support this statement, Job’s friend, Eliphaz suggested that the problem of Evil emanated from man and did not spring from the earth and that man is born to trouble. The religion of Manichaeism…
