...Business Comparison Paper Larry Jackson Ohio Christian University Author’s note This paper was prepared for Business Law (ONB54), taught by Professor Tino Business Comparison Paper A vertical market relationship is connections between the firm, customers, and supplier. In which companies within any given vertical market are mostly the same in solving similar issues. Most of these markets are very competitive because of overlapping focal points of the manufactured goods being provided to the customer. Examples of vertical markets are: insurance, real estate, banking, heavy manufacturing, retail, transportation, hospitals, and government. Vertical market relation is the process in which several steps in the production and/or distribution of a product or service are controlled by a single company or entity, in order to increase that company’s or entity’s power in the marketplace (Dharma, 2009). There are basically 3 classifications of Vertical Integration namely: Backward integration where in the company tries to own an input product company. Forward integration the business tries to control the post production areas, namely the distribution network. Like a mobile company opening its own Mobile retail chain. Balanced integration a mix of the above two balanced strategy to take advantages of both the worlds. In the external analysis customers play a key role because of their characteristics determine the firm’s market opportunities (Dharma, 2009). It is the glory of...

...Faith-Full Leadership, Ethics and Accountability: Using the work of Moses Pava to enforce the need for moral leadership and governance The general rationale of this paper is quite simple: moral leadership and moral governance matters. It has taken me the entire semester and the detailed reading of the book, Leading With Meaning: Using Covenantal Leadership to Build a Better Organization by Moses Pava (2003) to help me make the solid connection between operational (structural) governance and moral/ethical governance. If the reader of this paper is an enlightened, educated academic, this point may not have a significant impact. On the other hand, if the reader is a “typical” lay practitioner, the point of this paper, supported by evidence provided by Pava (and the other cited resources) might offer a deep and long lasting influence which could possibly change how the reader thinks and acts in matters related to organizational leadership and governance. I was able to make many connections between the Pava text and the Sison (2008) text that helped me better understand how Sison is interpreting Aristotle in today’s complex global business world. I have cited several of these cases to help the reader make a solid connection between structure, intent morality, ethics, accountability and corporate motives. I typically use colored “flags” to note important points and passages in a book I am reading for meaning. After reading the Pava (2003) text, I looked back and saw over fifty...

...Faith Integration Paper Starting a new journey in life is always exciting but rather scary in certain aspects. This journey I decided upon in a short amount of time has been extremely self evaluating and very fulfilling. The journey I speak of is the beginning of my experience in the ADP Program of Human Resources at Geneva College. The ADP Program of Human Resources at Geneva struck my fancy upon finding out that not only is it well located, but I would receive my Bachelors Degree by September 2016. The program is conveniently located at Boyce Campus in Monroeville which is fairly close to my boyfriend, Bob’s house. Not only is it convenient, but it is also important to the purpose of my discipline which is to become more knowledgeable in the Human Resource field and increase the possibility for a step-up in job classification. Becoming more knowledgeable in the Human Resources area in my current job status, in my opinion, would make me a more valuable employee to the company. The company I am currently working for is the Community College of Allegheny County, South Campus located in West Mifflin. I am working for the college as a Senior Secretary in the Admissions Office. Obtaining my Bachelors Degree in Human Resources will allow me to someday gain an opportunity in working in a different field other than Admissions. I also believe the purpose of my discipline in the Human Resources Program is to become more aware of HR policies and procedures and be able to better...

...SOLUTIONS FOR A HURTING NATION A RESEARCHED PAPER SUBMITTED TO MS CHLOE MORRIS IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE COURSE INTRODUCTION TO PSYCHOLOGY PSYC1010 DEPARTMENT OF BEHAVIOURAL AND SOCIAL SCIENCES BY ALICIA ROBINSON KINGSTON JAMAICA NOVEMBER 20, 2012. Psychology understands a person background how they were brought up, the family history and their emotional state of mind. With understanding these person one will be better able to find the right way to approach an individual and bring them to Christ. In order for Christianity to reach the heart of the people, the person bringing across the message will have to take care of the person immediate need first. For eg: you can’t try to tell a hungry man about god, when he is starving. He will not receive the message; because its main focus will be on the hunger he has, but if you feed him and then tell him about god, the message will be better receive. Christianity (God) is the master healer and with the love and care of Christians through God we can heal this world. When we understand how people think, then we can help heal the world by meeting people on their own level. With this said, one can asserts that science and religion do not conflict.

...Faith Integration Paper Vivian Li Azusa Pacific University UNRS 404 – Nursing Care of Children Professor Janette Tingson July 18, 2016 Faith Integration Paper Child abuse is a serious problem that can have lasting harmful effects on its victims. The goal in preventing child abuse is to stop this violence from happening in the first place. Safe and stable environment for all children can prevent abuse and help all children reach their full potential (Children’s Bureau, 2016). Child abuse and neglect are complex problems rooted in unhealthy environments. According to CDC (2016), preventing child abuse and neglect requires a comprehensive approach that influences all levels of the social societal culture, community involvement, relationships among families and neighbors, and individual behaviors. “Effective prevention strategies focus on modifying policies, practices, and societal norms to create safe, stable, nurturing relationships and environments” (CDC, 2016). Parenting is one of the toughest and most important jobs, and we all have a stake in ensuring that parents have access to the resources and support they need to be successful. Entire communities can play a role in helping families find the strength they need to raise safe, healthy, and productive children. As a Christian and a nurse, I believe to prevent child abuse is one of our mission that God given us, we should get to know our neighbors, because we all know that problems seem less overwhelming when support...

... Introduction Students of Church history are often puzzled by the sharp contrast between the Jewishness of the writers and events of the New Testament on one hand and the definitively non-Jewish character of the Early Church after the apostolic period on the other hand. An appreciation of the Jewish background of the Early Church and knowledge of the development of Jewish-Christian relations in the first three centuries of the Christian era is therefore crucial if one desires to understand the parting of ways between Judaism and Christianity. These two sister faiths would become bitter enemies within a few centuries after the emergence of the Christian faith. This paper, while heavily relying and interacting with primary sources of the time, will endeavor to highlight the Jewish origin of Christianity, trace its development within Judaism, and chronicle its inexorable divorce from its Jewish roots and sister faith. Setting the stage: the expansion of the Jewish Diaspora During the Persian occupation of Palestine (538-332 BC), many Jews decided to pass on the magnanimous offer of Cyrus allowing them to return to Palestine and chose to remain in Babylonia where subsequently, the Jewish population grew in influence over the centuries.1 Already during the Babylonian invasion and in the lifetime of the prophet Jeremiah, many Jews fled to Egypt, where they established substantial Jewish settlements. The Greek period (332-167 BC) saw the expansion of the Jewish Diaspora. The...

...with the following prayer.3 Almighty God, humbly acknowledging our need for Thy guidance in all things, and laying aside all private and personal interests, we beseech Thee to grant that we may conduct the affairs of this House and of our country to the glory of Thy holy name, the maintenance of true religion and justice, the honour of the Queen, and the public welfare, peace, and tranquillity of New Zealand, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Is this appropriate in a country that professes no state church and the tolerance of all religions equally?4 Religious content has historically infiltrated governing and administrative bodies. However, with the cultural disestablishment of Christianity and the emergence of toleration for all faiths, there continues to be the presence and preference of a small set of religions by the State. The degree to which religion interacts with the State varies with different public bodies. One reaction to this ad hoc system is the impression that such a dynamic between religion and the State might only be justified through preference for the preservation of the status quo. Considering the provisions in the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 (‗NZBORA‘) that safeguard the religious freedom of its citizens, such preference at first appearance is inconsistent...

...Spirituality in Counseling Integrating Religion and Spirituality In Counseling Anntoni Leonard University of the Cumberlands COUN 636 Abstract Religion and spirituality are arguably among the most important factors which structure human experience, beliefs, values and behavior. Religion and spirituality are clearly important to most Americans; however, most counselors have little or no training in dealing with religious and spiritual issues. Since the mid-1990’s, the integration of spirituality and religion into therapeutic sessions has generated much interest as an area that needs to be addressed with regards to diversity in clients. This paper will address the inclusion of religion and spirituality in client’s session and counselor’s attitudes toward a client’s faith based on the assumption that the client’s faith and the counselor’s attitude can have significant impact on the outcome of the treatment of the client. A counselor’s willingness to attend to faith as a means of growth can build rapport and lessen potential resistance with clients who are religious (Worthington, 1989). Spirituality in Counseling: Integrating Religion and Spirituality Spirituality has become increasingly important in counseling and prayer has become the spiritual intervention of choice for Christian counselors, as well as secular counselors. The controversial nature of including prayer in counseling requires much consideration on the grounds of ethical boundaries. Majority of mental health...

...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 influence on the way people think in society. David Entwistle takes the idea of “worldview” (Entwistle, 2010) and explains how we as...

...Integration Paper Thiago DeSouza Psychology and the Bible Liberty University Abstract Integration for many years has been a topic of discussion between psychologists and Christian leaders. The debate between the two disciplines has been whether or not the two can coexist together or if the two disciplines should never merge. Epistemology, cosmology, and philosophical anthropology lays down the foundation for integration. Both disciplines seek to understand human behavior and both seek to fix what appears to be broken within humanity. Both disciplines seek for truth. Psychology seeks for truth through science and what has been observed, whereas the source for truth for Christianity is found in God through His Words and His Works. The two may not contradict. There are several models of integration and they look to explain what the relationship between psychology and Christianity ought to be. The Allies model, which is discussed in more depth, holds the view that truth is found in God’s Words and Works and that God is sovereign over all things. Integration Paper The integration of psychology and Christianity has been a topic of discussion for many years and will be for many more years to come. It is important that this discussion is not put aside but rather be openly discussed among members from both disciplines. There are many models within integration and they all offer their own perspectives on the relationship between psychology and Christianity. One is not necessarily...
