SAMSOM Experimental Psychology Instructor ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- DATE SUBMITTED ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- July 4, 2013 Title: Life’s Meaningful Challenges Summary: One of the greatest truths is that life is difficult. Most people moan more than facing and solving their problems. Life is a series of problems. It only requires discipline to overcome such pains and problems. We prefer to procrastinate and ignore them. It is in this whole process of meeting and solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the cutting edge that distinguishes between success and failure. The tendency to avoid problems and the emotional suffering inherent in them is the primary basis of all human mental illness. Therefore we must inculcate ourselves and in our children the means of achieving mental, spiritual health. When we teach ourselves discipline, we are teaching ourselves how to suffer and also how to grow. Life example: I always experience hardships. Well one...

...The Importance of God Descartes then, very quickly and cursorily, faces up to a major corner he seems to have painted himself into. How is he to have any reliable knowledge of the external world, when all his senses are deceptive and the only truth is his own inner process of thinking? How can his knowledge escape total self-consciousness, a thoroughgoing solipsism? The argument (or rather the summary sketch of the later argument) concerning God is the key stage which enables him to take this step. It is not uncommon for first-time readers of the Discourse to find this section rather problematic and to offer the comment that Descartes is here simply placating religious authorities rather than being sincere in his affirmations of belief. Whatever the nature of Descartes' religious beliefs (and there seems little evidence that his statements about them are not sincere), it's important to note that the paragraphs about God are an essential part of the philosophical argument, a necessary logical foundation for the method he is proposing. Without them, the certainty he is seeking would not be available. The argument for the existence of God is, in part, a traditional one, as Descartes acknowledges. Since he has ideas of perfection and all the flawless qualities of God, he questions where these might have arisen. As a limited and imperfect human being, he does not have those qualities himself. And they cannot have come from sense experience of nature or from outside...

...is not up to the educational values and standards of the school, he informs Principal Ruiz. After the first two articles that Petitioner submitted were rejected, Mr. Rodgers had a brief conversation with Petitioner explaining the reasoning behind the decision not to publish them. The third article that Petitioner submitted, Modern Views on Conflict Resolution, included none of the language deemed “threatening,” “graphic,” or “violence inciting,” therefore, it was published on the “Our Voice” section. Meanwhile, “The Truth About Trump” brought back the rhetoric that goes against the school’s educational values. Mr. Rodgers brought the article to Principal Ruiz’s attention after noticing that the article contained language that is not permitted to be published. Principal Ruiz was concerned that the article might incite violence in the community and made the ultimate decision to not publish the...

...Intellectual Education It has been emphasized in earlier chapters that education is not only an individual process, but a social process as well. The individual is born into the family and through the family, becomes a member of society. Society is an aggregate of many individuals, institutions, and functions, diversified in themselves, yet capable of a high degree of unification and integration for the social good. Man must live in society, conform to the customs of his group, and make the necessary adjustments to conventional standards, laws, and social forces. The experiences that the individual must undergo, as an interacting and cooperating member of society, are intimately related to the achievement of his final destiny. To equip the individual to meet these experiences and to be successful therein, various specific types of education are essential. Each of these types requires, fundamentally, the acquisition of specific knowledge, the formation of socially desirable habits and skills, the development of wholesome attitudes and appreciations, and the assimilation of the essential elements of the social heritage. For this assimilation to be effective, the social forces which influence the individual’s morality, personality, and character must be brought under proper control. This can be accomplished only when all agencies and institutions constituting society are governed completely and administered strictly according to the unchanging principles of the moral law. Those...

The topic of this paper will discuss the Worldview known as Islam. Islam claims to be the only true religion, bringing the purest message of Allah and could have succeeded. This paper will contain a summary of Islam, a critique, a plan as to how Christians can share the gospel and a conclusion. Summary of the Worldview of Islam Islam, to surrender, is a worldview religion founded by Abu al-Qasim Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn “Abd al Muttalib ibn Hashim; or more commonly known, Muhammad. Isalam is a religion based on one man’s vision, one man’s experience. Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, is believed to be the last prophet of Allah (God). To understand Islam is to get to now its founder, Muhammad; as well as his life changing visions. Muhammad was forty years old when he experienced his first vision. It is said that Muhammad had a vision that he was visited by the angel Gabriel. In this vision Gabriel said that all the religions of the world were not only wrong and corrupted. In this vision Gabriel also said that the message of God was corrupted by man and he would be Gods messenger. Muhammad was going to receive the message from God. Muhammad was not only going to receive the message from God, but he was also going to record this message and bring it to man; to bring...

...Bear Stearns Case * * * Key Ratios Capital Ratio: This is a measure of a bank's financial strength based on the sum of its equity capital and disclosed reserves. A Tier 1 capital ratio of 6% or greater would classify the banks as well capitalized. At the beginning of March, Bear Stearns had virtually no assets valued at level 1 which leaves their capital ratio at virtually 0. Leverage Ratio: the Tier 1 leverage ratio is calculated by dividing Tier 1 capital ratio by the firm's average total consolidated assets. The Tier 1 leverage ratio is an evaluative tool used to help determine the capital adequacy and to place constraints on how banking firm can leverage its capital base. Bear Sterns claims total assets of $140 billion dollars but because the capital ratio is so small the leverage ratio is also going to be very small. Debt to equity: Bear Stearns had a debt to equity ratio of nearly 32. Anything over 2 is generally considered a high debt to equity ratio. As all companies leverage debt, 32 is a huge ratio. Altman Z- Score: With a market cap of around $1300 and Bear Sterns had an Altman Z- Score of nearly -3.6. The Altman Z Score takes four different ratios and create a multiple that determines how likely bankruptcy is. -3.6 indicates bankruptcy is likely. Traditional Ratio Analysis: When the traditional ratios are ran, nearly all are outside the benchmark range or less than the benchmark. The traditional ratios clearly show a problemed...

...For example: Think about this case where you are a doctor who have seen and examined a patient who did not know yet that he is having an incurable disease. The dilemma you’ll face is if you’re going to inform this person that he is dying or not. If you observe the principles of the act utilitarian theory, you are going to lie and not tell your patient about his sickness. This is the right thing to do because telling the truth will immediately cause more pain and depression, not only to the patient but also to his family. Lying will give him more time to enjoy life until the symptoms become more and more severe. However, if you are a believer of rule utilitarianism then you will not have any choices, but in telling the patient immediately about his sickness. Rule utilitarianism thinks more of the long term and that it is your obligation to tell the truth to your patient no matter what the circumstance because it is your duty and it is a rule for you to be honest...

...Statement. Assets = Liabilities + Equity Corner Café was financed with $84,000 of assets in 2011. In 2012 the assets grew substantially to $355,500. The total Principle Interest payments for 2011 were $8000 and the total Principle Interest payments for 2012 were $137,500. Current Ratio = current assets / Current Liabilities. The Current ratio should be 1:1 or higher. This measures the current financial shape of Corner Café. In 2011 the Current Ratio was 5:3 and in 2012 it grew to 7:5 which shows a greater short-term cash flow for the restaurant. Working Capital Ratio = Total Assets / Total Liabilities. Like the Current Ration the Working Capital Ration should be 1:1 or higher. Corner Café’s ratio for 2011 was 3:17 and for 2012 it was 2:6. Although the ratio started out higher in 2011 and there has been a decline in 2012, the long-term cash flow should be monitored closely so that it doesn’t continue to drop. Chris and Erica should take steps to limit their liabilities as much as possible. Debt to Equity Ratio = Total Debt / Total Equity. This ratio is used to determine if Corner Café is under performing. During 2011 the Debt to Equity Ratio was 0:4 and in 2012 there was a slight increase to 0:7. This is showing that Corner Café is not performing to its full potential and needs to work on decreasing its Total Debts to continue to increase its ratio. Accounts Payable to Sales Ratio = Accounts Payable / Sales. In 2011 the Accounts Payable to Sales Ratio was 0:3...

...Michael DMBA 620 Week 9 Executive Summary Operational Efficiency, Operational Effectiveness, Operations Strategy, and Operational Sustainability are core concepts that help ensure an organization succeeds today, and into the future. Operational efficiency ensures businesses offer consumers the best products or services at the lowest costs possible. Operational effectiveness asks the questions of what, and how much resources are required in producing a product or service. Operational strategy sets the tone by establishing what will be produced and how this will occur, all correlated with the organizations overall strategy and vision. Operational sustainability ensures that an organization has staying power in the market by making necessary adjustments to keep up “with the times”. All play a paramount role in realizing success in the market. Further, Six Sigma, a process improvement discipline, helps organizations remove redundancy in processes as well as waste. This helps ensure sustainability for an organization. Operational Efficiency: is defined as a business’ ability to offer customers the best products and/or services at the lowest possible cost. Several organizations utilize “industry best practices” in order to streamline (lean) core business processes allowing them to react swiftly to changes in the market. Businesses also for corporate alliances in order to ensure/promote efficiency, this falls back to previous week’s assignments as we learned that just because you...

...Entwistle (2010), explains Christianity, and psychology being integrated with one another. David Entwistle says that “Primarily psychology and Christianity are perceived by many people to be in opposition” (Entwistle, 2010). Both psychology and Christianity address both the experiences in human life and angles from different views. The writer also explains, “Christianity being based on the Word of God. Psychology is based on worldly views; it is an empirical foundation, so it does not allow faith to make any adjustments in its teachings.” (Entwistle, 2010) Christianity is based on the belief in Jesus Christ, which takes faith and understanding, the Bible is the teachings and laws that God wants us to abide by, and is the foundation of all truth. The writer of the book states that, “Psychology uses empirical methods of study while theology studies human interpretations of God’s Word.” (Entwistle, 2010) We take a look at the integration of the behaviors. The book Integrative Approaches to Psychology and Christianity’s sole purpose is to help the readers understand combining the disciplines of psychology and Christianity. Even though the two always seem to pull against one another, the author gives great examples and issues an insight on how the two can work together. There are various models that view the integration of the two and show how they can be combined to be a marvelous tool together. The author began the book by taking a look at the way worldly views can have a huge...
