...INTERVIEW AND UNDERSTANDING OF ISLAMIC RELIGION April 20, 2013 HUMN130 Religions of the World Interview and Understanding of the Islamic Religion First I wanted to get a general understanding of the exact religion and people who practice Islamic Faith. I learned that a Muslim is a person who practices Islam. Islam is the name of the religion. Muslims sometimes claim that there is no Muslim culture, only a Muslim religion. However, people in today's society do not acknowledge this distinction since we view religion as one aspect of one's culture. Muslim culture generally includes all the practices which have developed around the religion of Islam. Muslims are obligated to follow the practices of Islam in every detail in daily life. These practices are dictated by the Qur'an of Koran. The Muslim's sacred book, which is considered to be the final word of God. These practices are reported to be the practices and sayings of the prophet Muhammad. There are several cultural aspects of the Islam religion that Muslims practice. For example, there are five major tenets (pillars) in the Islam religion a Muslim is expected to follow. The first is "There is only on God (Allah) and Muhammad is the Messenger of God". The other four are the practical obligations of daily prayer, fasting, paying annual money to be distributed among the poor, and making the pilgrimage to Mecca. Islam is considered the fastest growing religion in the world. There are approximately 1.3 billion...

...He wants others to realize that he is a king and that he should be treated like one. Although his son argues with him about the decision of killing Antigone, Kreon states that people have to listen to their fathers. He says, “Son, you should hold that to your heart. Everything’s second to a father’s will.”(Sophocles, 777-778)The use of the word “second” shows how Kreon disregards what other people say to him. This also shows how he does not care about the fact that his son is talking to him and treats him like he would to a normal citizen. Kreon also believes that everything that Tiresias was telling him was a lie. Tiresias was. He says, “Yes, and I say so because you love cash, all of you, prophetic profiteers” (Sophocles, 1222-1223). the use of the words “prophetic profiteers” shows how is is mad at Tiresias. He believes that Tiresias is lying to Kreon for money. This also shows how although Tiresias is telling the truth, Kreon will dont listen to him because it puts him and his family in danger. This shows how Kreon does not want to be controlled by other people and wants others to realizes that he is the ruler of them. kreon did not want to be viewed as a person who was easily convinced so he made his own choices and did not listen to others. This also shows how he does not think about what other people say. Kreon wants to prove that he is powerful by not...

...SALES EXPERIENCES: POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE Intro to Business 115 August 6, 2014 SALES EXPERIENCES - BOTH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE In reflecting on my most memorable experience with a salesperson that was positive, I would have to go back to when I purchased my current vehicle. First of all, I was already waiting to be attacked as soon as we stepped on the lot, as you normally can not even look at vehicles without being pestered. However, I was acknowledged by the salesperson and informed to let them know if I wanted more information on any particular vehicle or had any questions. I didn’t know quite what I was looking for when I arrived at the dealership and was nervous about making the wrong choice. The salesperson was very friendly and attentive, without being pushy or overbearing. He answered by questions without making me feel dumb when I was unfamiliar with the vehicle features or the loan procedures. My salesperson was attentive, remembered my name, answered questions without being condescending, and really listened and retained what I was telling him. Instead of him telling me what I needed to purchase, he let me tell him what I wanted to purchase. He asked lifestyle questions to determine the features I may want or need. I felt like he was working with me instead of just for himself. I was not rushed or pressured in any way, which often happens at dealerships. They seemed to really appreciate my business and concerned that I have a positive experience...

...from the one that she conveyed in texts, Facebook posts and tweets.As human beings, our only real method of connection is through communication. Studies show that only 7% of communication is based on the written word and a staggerring 93% is based on nonverbal body language. Evidently, it’s only when we can hear a tone of voice or look into someone’s eyes that we’re able to know when the typical response of “I’m fine” doesn’t mean they’re fine at all. Goodmorning Ms.Phillip and class. Today, I would like you to ask yourself at what cost has technology replaced personal interactions? and I will present the reasons why the use of social media is sabatoging the ability of teenagers to properly communicate with one another. First and foremost, texting as a form of regular communication is dangerous, because how well can one communicate via text?Yes, it`s quicker than calling or getting together with eachother but because of sacrificing time for convenience, we miss out on the flow of conversation. Without the face to face interaction, we don`t get to listen to the tone of their voice, or watch the change in their facial expressions or the movement of their gestures. In doing so, we are limiting ourselves to express our thoughts in a set amount of words on text and a complete lack of emotion, which can lead to misinterpretation....

...Did you know that you carry a lethal weapon with you wherever you go? And it would be impossible for anyone to make you check it at the door, because it is attached to your body. I read somewhere that death and life are in the power of the tongue...what an amazing statement! and further...the tongue is full of deadly poison. Hum, frightening. Gossip is like a fired bullet, once you hear the sound, you can't take it back. Evil speech can destroy friendships, break up marriages and ruin businesses. Gossip-negative talk, put-downs, rumors, accusations, not only hurt the person being talked about, it also hurts the person speaking and the person listening. The truth is, gossip has been around since the beginning of humankind and continues to be a popular but destructive past time. "Le congossa" is unfortunately one of our favourite activities back home. Women and now more and more men are making it their hobbies. Too many people believe it’s their job to stick their nose in your business. Like they live such perfect lives. The reasons behind nosiness and gossiping has so much to do with folks not feeling their lives are interesting enough or are so unhappy with their lives, they believe getting into other people’s business is more exciting than getting things straight in their own lives. The story of what happened to a family in a small North London community illustrates this truth. The mother had not been well since the birth of her second baby, but everyone knew she...

...Gilford Press, 2009. Eli Lilly and Company Strattera. Strattera 10 April, 2005 Wilens, Timothy E. Straight Talk about Psychiatric Medications for Kids New York: The Guilford Press, 1999 Most people have heard of the term Attention Deficit Hyperactive (ADHD) disorder. “Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurobiological disorder that interferes with an individual ability to attend to tasks (inattention), inhibits ones behavior (impulsivity), and may interfere with a persons ability to regulate ones activity level (hyper-activity) in developmentally appropriate ways (Barkley 19). The most important job for teachers and parents is to separate fact from fiction, to clarify what we know and dont know. Properly diagnosing ADHD, medication choices, and behavioral interventions are the key focal point. Is medication truly worth the side effects? Diagnosing ADHD As the name implies, ADHD is typically characterized by two distinct sets of symptoms: inattention and hyperactivity / impulsivity. Although these problems usually occur together, one may be present without the other and still qualify for an ADHD diagnosis. Children are diagnosed with ADHD when they have met specific guidelines within these two categories. A number of parents observe signs of inattentiveness, restlessness, and impulsivity in their child even before their child starts school. The child might lose attention while playing a game or watching TV...
