When we think of the Bible, the first thing that comes to most people’s mind is Adam and Eve, the miracles performed by Jesus, the conversion of Paul or the poetic word of the Psalms. Most are prone to forget about the women in the Bible, for in the Bible the characterization of most women is either that of being a seductress, an unholy prostitute or a supporting character there to either lend aid to men in terms of pleasure or as someone’s wife. Ruth, a book about a lonely widowed young woman,…
Daniel Levinson proposed the “Seasons of Life” theory to explain the transition that occurs as humans reach a mature age. Distinctly, unlike most other theorists and psychologists, Levinson focuses on developmental growth starting at a later age in life promoting the idea that such development is a lifelong process and is vital knowledge to be aware of. Levinson's’ theory includes two critical periods: the stable period and the transitional period. During the stable period decision making…
Final Reflection This course has been interesting in offering new perspectives on the Bible, especially in the ways in which people’s interpretations of the Bible today are related to the ways and reasons why certain books of the Bible were written. It has also been interesting seeing how Western society and history is very much dependent upon the Bible, and entire eras of history are separated by the ways people began to think and interpret the Bible. Another aspect of this class that was…
There is no reasonable reason to doubt the story and information the Exodus implies, but I do think the mix up of the movie and the bible of the plagues have some people confused and not knowing what to believe in the overall moral and details in the story. The movie did a good job, in some areas, of trying to get most of the information spot on as it does in the book. Since the book was written a long time ago and is a primary source, it may have a better and accurate outlook of the moral of…
States should restrict older drivers on the road. Here are the reasons why… Older adult’s experience physical changes, there are age-related disorders that impact the cognitive ability to drive, and the fatality rate involving older adult drivers has increased. All the reasons stated above impact the ability of an older person to drive safely. I believe the Archenbaum’s public vs. private would support my argument of being in favor of states restricting older drivers. The first reason why I…
Our generation has come a long way. From the early days of “barber surgeons” that served as medical practitioners in the medieval era, up to the most advanced digital operating rooms equipped with the highest end of machineries – this shows that our healthcare system has greatly improved. Due to this development the course of life of humans has changed for the good allowing us to live longer. According to a report from the United States Census Bureau publications, it is estimated that by 2050,…
According to VanderWeele, Hawkley, Thisted & Cacioppo (2012), loneliness can be a debilitating psychological condition characterized by a deep sense of social isolation, emptiness, worthlessness, lack of control and personal threat (as cited in Houghton et al., 2014).

that are not specifically mentioned in the evaluation? I believe that due to the communication barrier and the lack of access to transportation, Dimitre would have difficulties with the occupational area of work. Also, the fact that he is a 92 year old man, he most likely would not be perusing any work or even volunteer services. For the same reason of lack of communication and transportation, social participation would be difficult for Dimitre. The only time he leaves his house is to go…
