These books give three different accounts of the same story, showing that the story of Jesus’…
Organized efforts to control and limit drinking or the sale of alcohol have been persistent in the United States since the early nineteenth century. For many years, before any public demonstration was made against the liquor traffic, and for some years after, distilleries by many people were deemed a blessing to the community.

The root cause of my project is that the homeless don’t have the essential basic needs to sustain their health. My project will help around 100-200 homeless individuals, supplying them with a custom pillow, which will allow them to carry essential items which I will collect and donate, such as a book, a handwritten letter, various toiletries and food, that will be given to new or existing client of Hope’s door. I plan to interview several individuals at Hope’s Door and learn about their stories…
Imagine finding yourself on the sidewalk of a congested metropolitan street in a city you are unfamiliar with when you witness a truck fail to stop at a traffic light and subsequently smash into a sedan. As a self-identified good Samaritan, you choose to contact emergency services. How would you explain to the authorities where to find the scene of the accident? This situation highlights the interaction between cognition, behavior, and the external environment because appraisal from your…
Religion in philanthropy and faith-based organizations have been frequently discussed in academic literature and research. Through this literature review, I will discuss the research on both. All major religions emphasize generosity to those in need. In Christianity, believers are called to love their neighbors (Seelarbokus, 2016). In Islam, there are the concepts of the zakat and sadaqua to care for those in need (Lambarra & Riener, 2015). Judaism stresses the importance of tithing to…
