...flattery or great offense! Christianity grew from the root of Judaism and this centered on the belief that Jesus od Nazareth is the hoped for Messiah of Israel who came to redeem mankind from their sin and offense before God almighty. Current Jewish thought has gone so far as to elevate Jesus of Nazareth from the worst of blasphemers in the first century, to a vails Messiah for the Gentiles. Pinchas Lapide, a Jew himself has written on the points of commonality between Judaism and Christianity. Some of them include belief in God as creator and father, hop in salvation, ignorance of Gods ways, humility before Gods omnipotence, knowledge that we belong to Him not He to us, and love and reverence for God. Other points of commonality of the world, the condemnation of arrogant religious chauvinism, the conviction that love of God cannot be divorced from love of neighbor, and the knowledge that all our speech about God is but stammering until we meet him face to face. Despite the similarities the two, is a wide gulf between Judaism and Christianity, His name is Jesus. The Jews rejected Jesus as their messiah in the first century because they were expecting a deliverer from political oppression. The Jews have long vacillated on the issue of the messiah to the point that many today believe messiah is not a person but rather an age of righteousness and truth. From the time od Christ until now no less 34 prominet Jews have claimed to be the...

... Smith 1 English 8 Mrs. Drako April 25, 2014 A Profession as a Pharmacist A pharmacist plays a vital role in the patient-physician-pharmacist relationship. Both the physician and pharmacist have a major concern for the well- being of the patient. The pharmacists role is to dispense prescription and over the counter medications to patients, and offer their expertise in the safe use of them. They also provide advice on leading a healthy lifestyle, conduct health and wellness screenings, administer various immunizations and supervise pharmacy technicians. (“Occupational Outlook Handbook”). Pharmacists must also collaborate well with other health care professionals in order to monitor and review the most effective medication therapies for their patients. A career as a pharmacist can be a rewarding profession but in order to be successful, a pharmacist must be well trained, organized and focused, and be willing to be very versatile. In order to become a pharmacist one must attend a higher institute that offers a pharmacy degree. In 1992 all colleges and universities in the United States voted to make the Doctorate of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) the only type of degree one can obtain in order to practice pharmacy. (“Becoming a Pharmacist”). Schools phased out the typical five year Bachelors of Science degree...

...included a summary, with details and explanation of findings following. Summary: ITC's position is a strong one with three main points in our favor to support our stance. 1. The move to change the production shifts to a rolling 4 day model is justified through increased demand. 2. The former employee took no action to address the change prior to resignation. 3. The change in required work hours is for all employees within that job classification. It is therefore recommended that ITC stand firm in their course to improve company efficiencies. Future actions may be better served by announcing possible changes of such a nature to the staff prior to implementation to allow for comment, as well as inclusion in an updated employee handbook prior to implementation. Supporting narrative and findings: At first glance, this instance bears the characteristics of a plausible charge of Constructive Discharge from the perspective of the former employee. In short, constructive discharge as a legal concept is relevant to this scenario, as the scenario itself bears several characteristics that may comprise a constructive discharge. Among these characteristics are: 1. Working conditions are unbearable. Constructive discharge occurs when an employee is forced to quit because the employer has made working conditions unbearable. Unbearable conditions include those that are deemed as discriminatory in nature. As the employee perceives the changes to negatively impact his religious...

...Abnormal Psychology and Therapy April Gressett, Michelle Baker, Celia Mikhael, Nick Mccullough Psychology 300 University of Phoenix Betsy Ferronato July 11th, 2013 Abnormal Psychology and Therapy Introduction Normal vs. Abnormal Psychology In the scientific world, psychology is best described as the “scientific investigation of mental processes and behavior.” (Kowalski & Westen, 2011)The question; what is the difference between normal psychology and that of abnormal psychology? To answer this particular question, one must know the parameters of each individual thought of study. Normal psychology is the study of metal processes and behaviors within a range generally accepted behaviors. Abnormal psychology is the study of mental processes and behaviors the reach outside the parameters of the norm, and is thus considered abnormal. So who decides what is normal and abnormal? There are cultural differences in this area of thought; what may be considered as normal to an American citizen may be construed as abnormal in another country. This train of thought goes both ways, behaviors that are deemed normal in Russia, or the Middle East, may in fact be considered abnormal to a visiting foreigner. So it is with this thought, that the line between normal and abnormal may in fact be somewhat subjective. (Kowalski & Westen, 2011) Abnormal psychology is the study of behaviors found to be outside the scope of the norm, and is generally found in people that exhibit psychological...

...Social Psychology Definition Heather de Leur PSY/400 April 9, 2012 Robert Irizarry Social Psychology Definition What is Social Psychology? Social Psychology is defined as a discipline that uses scientific methods "to understand and explain how the thought, feeling and behavior of individuals are influenced by the actual, imagined or implied presence of other human beings (Allport, 1985). So learning about Social Psychology we know that it looks at huge variety of social topics. Some of the topics that it does touch base on are topics like group behavior, leadership, social perception, aggression, prejudice, and nonverbal behavior. But one must be aware of is that it also touches base on Social perception as well as social interaction in understanding the meaning behind Social Psychology (Cherry, 2012). Social psychology is different from other psychology, such as clinical psychology, general psychology, and sociology in different ways. Clinical psychology is the field where the branch of psychology is concerned with the assessment and treatment of mental illness. This area merges the science of psychology with the treatment of complex human problems, making it an interesting career choice for people who are looking for a challenging as well as a rewarding field (Cherry, 2012).

...B.R Richardson Timber Products Corporation Case Study By Julie Woody 10/25/2014 Organizational Development HRM 460-1 In the B.R Richardson Timber Products Corporation case study, Richard Bowman, who was in charge of industrial relations at the company, contacted Jack Lawler, an Organizational Development Practitioner, as he was looking for someone to conduct a “motivation course” for the blue-collar employees of his lamination plant. He told Mr. Lawler that the morale among the employees were extremely low due to the fact that a fatal accident had occurred several months before, and because the plant manager was extremely authoritative. After being contacted, Mr. Lawler arranged a meeting between himself, the President of the company, and Mr. Richardson. After the meeting, Mr. Lawler then visited the plant for one day along with two of his graduate students to assess and analyze the situation to prepare his presentation and suggestions to the company. In his evaluation of the company, Mr. Lawler determined that there were several problems that were evident amongst the workers. The laminating plant was growing rapidly, and was an extremely profitable portion of the company. One of the problems that became evident was that despite its profitability, the company was reluctant to expand and do improvements to the laminating plant to upgrade its machinery, and to hire the additional staff needed to keep up with its growth. There was also a very evident communication problem...

...Click Page Layout in Menu or Ribbon to Change Attachment Disorder Attachment should be an instant connection between the primary caregiver and infant. However, this is not always the case. Attachment problems appear when an infant is unable to consistently connect with the primary caregiver through crying and there’s no response to offer comfort. The British Journal of School Nursing (2013) has found the infant is expecting the primary caregiver to respond to their discomfort when they cry, feel pain, are cold or hungry in which this is their way of survival. It was believed that “infants suffered from analytic depression following a prolonged separation of an infant from their primary caregiver.” (Zeanah, 2000, p. 294) As the child grows so does their trust. Feldman (2011) says attachment during infancy affects how a child will relate to others throughout the rest of their lives. The attachment style reflects the parenting style. Feldman (2011) identified the four major parenting styles as authoritarian, permissive, authoritative, and uninvolved. Each parenting style is unique and each child is affected by it. According to Feldman (2011) a child with an authoritarian parent tends to be withdrawn and antisocial. The child of a permissive parent tends to be dependent, moody, have social skills issues and self-control issues. A child of and authoritative parent are seen as independent friendly, self-assertive and cooperates. Because this parent show to be a good role...
