...Archeology Confirm the Biblical Record? Often, individuals tend to regard the bible as irrelevant and inapplicable as some have drawn the conclusion the Bible is inaccurate. What if there was a way of altering this mentality, perhaps devising a method to verify the existence and validity of the bible? Biblical archaeology attempts to solve such problems through the recovery and scientific investigation of material remains of past culture, connecting them to events in the Bible, specifically the New and Old Testament (Maier, 2004). After investigating the methods utilized in Biblical Archaeology, it can be said that ancient Archaeology does confirm the biblical record. One of the methods utilized in examining archaeological findings,...

...Summary of ”The Price of Marriage in China”. The article is from The New York Times and was written in March 2013. In the article we meet Yang Jing who is a “love hunter”, supposedly a new breed of matchmaker. She searches for the perfect spouse for her clients (young bachelor millionaires), and with her clients being picky it’s not always an easy job to do. She typically scouts in a shopping mall with her eight-scout team. When they find someone who could match one of her client’s demands, she confronts the woman and says “I’m a love hunter. Are you looking for love?” In another part of Beijing there’s a different kind of love hunter, an old widowed woman (Ms. Yu) who is desperately looking for a spouse for her son. Ms. Yu is not the only parent hunting. In the park, where she is, there are long rows of elderly men and women with homemade signs specifying the specs of their sons or daughters. All sitting there, waiting for inquiries, and with a small hope of getting their children married. The problem of finding a spouse in China is rising and with 118 boys born for every 100 girls the number of potential partners is shrinking. That leads to a big boom in the Internet dating industry in China, and with the number of singles rising and dating sites established, it makes more people, rich and poor, turn to hands-on matchmaking services. Essay about finding a spouse in China Finding a spouse in China or Denmark is only as hard as you make it. It seems that the more...

...In Dating and the Single Parent, Ron Deal opens up conversations necessary for many single parents as to whether dating or considering the possibilities is the optimal thing to do, as well as coming to terms about the best time to do so. He presents his story through a variety of synopsizes of stories collected through many years of studies. He is open and honest using biblical doctrines as the foundation of his advice. This critique will examine Ron Deal’s key ideas, Christian approach, and two of the theological approaches he addressed. Summary Humans are created beings, created with the sole purpose of serving a higher calling. Dating and the Single Parent addresses many of the most important issues that surround an individual’s life and the need for relationship. It places God at the forefront of every decision or lack thereof that ill-informed or misinformed people continue to make. Ron Deal tackled issues that many churches are afraid to, leaving not many areas untouched. He discussed the necessity of waiting and consulting God in every area of a single parents life exercising godly wisdom. According to Deal (2012), “I beg you to heed the call of Wisdom regarding your relationships, your family decisions, and your parenting or you might as well start drafting your email to me now” (p.23). As marriages continue to fail at an alarming rate, the need for better understanding becomes greater. Humans are created with an overwhelming need for relationships, this need...

...Yanli Jin 09/13/2012 Assignment #1 Wake up, Media! If you asked my six-year-old cousin about her idea on marriage, she would tell you that the guy she is going to marry should have a nice car and be able to buy her every single Barbie she wants. We’d like to make fun with her adult-like behaviors and of course are not very serious about what she is really saying. However, children don’t tell lies. What she has said reflects a devaluation of marriage in Chinese society. Marriage should be a pure love match; however, it has somehow become an artifice of gaining wealth. Through the tabloid culture, such as the Chinese reality televisions dating show “If You’re the One”, our moral judgment has been imperceptibly influenced because of media’s lack of social responsibilities. Does wealth really place a better role in a relationship than happiness? The answer is definitely negative. We have a long history of arguing what marriage really means to human beings. “In most culture of the past, marriage wasn’t about the happiness of two individuals – it was a political and economic arrangement between two families. Marriage was a way of consolidating wealth, merging resources, forgoing political alliances, and even concluding peace treaties” (Cherlin, Andrew). As time pass by, the rise of individualism changes our view of marriage. We expect the fairness and pleasure in our marriages. It is a huge advancement in human right progress. In China, however, people...

...as the potential liability associated with these relationships rises. Some organizations ban all workplace dating, while other employers have no policy at all to address these issues. Most organizations fall somewhere in between, with explicit or at least implicit policies that forbid or discourage certain workplace relationships. After all, with the amount of time people spend working, it’s impossible to meet people in the traditional meeting places such as church, the neighborhood, family events, and leisure time activities do not present the same kind of people. In contrast, the office provides a natural selection of people who share at least one important interest. People who work together also live within a reasonable dating distance, and share a location, so they see each other on a daily basis. Coworkers in similar jobs may also be around the same age, and share the same interests both inside and outside of work. Consensual relationship policies are an important tool in managing the risk of sexual harassment and discrimination claims. However, they must be thoughtfully created and administered with care. Before an employer asks that a couple signs a consensual relationship agreement, the employer should meet with the employee and make sure they understands the company's sexual harassment and discrimination policy and document the employee's file with a summary of the interview, the information provided to the...

Stanhope & Lancaster (2012). A family consists of two or more individuals who depend on one another for emotional, physical, and/or financial support. In community health nursing, the family will be considered as a client. A community health nurse must be able to understand that he or she must keep an update of the care plan as the family is a dynamic unit of the community. Community health nurses provide health education, case management and primary care to individuals and families who are members of a vulnerable population and high risk groups. Community health nurses act as advocates, teachers, and counselors that play an important role in preventing the spread of illness and disease.

It helps so that when I am working on homework, I can ease the stress with music, when I am working out music helps get me motivated, when warming up for wrestling it gets me pumped and ready to take down my opponent. The artist that motivates me the most and has had the most impact on my life would have to be Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift’s story begins on December 13th, 1989, in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. Taylor began writing songs at the age of five and when she turned fifteen she released her first album. Her grandmother was a professional opera singer so Taylor began to follow in her footsteps.

...Susan Sun Words: 941 Introduction and background Emily and Ryan, undergraduates at VUW believe there must be a better way to meet people and plan activities, such as dates, and social events. They have noticed a possible opportunity in this area for people like them at university that Facebook and other SNS have not addressed directly. They particularly liked the idea of only targeting tertiary students in order to attract singles looking for a more defined friendship and dating network. They were also attracted to a mobile application for smart phones that could be used to set up events and activities on the go. In addition to allowing subscribers to connect and meet new people with common interests, the service (application) would help coordinate and plan group and personal events. This service would also provide planned structured events (e.g., week-long vacations, cycling or tramping trips) and personal services, such as body guards and background checks for personal dates. Secondary research summary The secondary research provided insight to the problem and context. In the New Zealand tertiary education sector there are eight universities, 22...

...Consensual Relationship Agreements (CRA) Case Study Many societal changes have converged within the last fifty years to create an environment where workplace romances must be addressed. The old movie scenarios where the boss (male) fooled around with the secretary (female) and the office morale plummeted because no one wanted to be the one to complain about favoritism are gone. The increase of women in the workplace and in managerial positions; increased hours spent at work; increased travel away from home; the push for equality among genders and the resulting integration of the sexes; employee sophistication regarding rights and legal redress on the job; and human resource professionals that fear being sued for sexual harassment complaints from within the employee ranks—all of these and more have resulted in the perceived need to create a document to regulate relationships on the job. The risks related to getting into an on-the-job relationship should not be taken lightly. Participants should be very sure the benefits outweigh the risks because office romances can jeopardize job security and create unease for everyone in the office. If you put individuals with common interests together for 40-plus hours per week, office romance is bound to happen, experts say. Statistics seem to bear that out: According to a 2003 survey by Vault.com, an online career center, 47 percent of the 1,000 professionals surveyed had been involved in an office romance, and another...
