Religion as a whole is always changing, coming and going, evolving to fit the modern world. Some religions stay the same forever, others change, create new sects, and some even form entirely on their own. New religious movements come about in many different ways. The circumstances in which they form are unpredictable. There are many reasons in which it would be likely for new religious movements to appear. Some form from an older religion that is losing its foothold in society, picking up the pieces that were successful and running into a new and improved version of itself. Others form to meet a new need that isn’t being met by the pre-existing religions. These are just a few of the common circumstances in which new religious movements are often formed.

An example of a new religion formed from a pre-existing religion is the Accommodationist Movements. Accommodationist Movements arise when an already well established religion is introduced into a new cultural context. When an older religion does not fit or account for everything within a new cultural context the older religion is manipulated to fit into the new culture. New Revelation Sects also form off of already established religions. New Revelation sects, similar to any sect, follow very strictly to a normative religion. The difference is that, apart from following the pre-existing beliefs of the religion, they also teach new revelations that have arised.

Some examples of New Religious Movements that are separate from any former religion are Spirit Movements and Reactive Movements. Spirit Movements claim to have an otherworldly connection to spiritual beings such as nature and ancestral spirits, ghost, and angels, among a variety of others. These movements tend to be very emotion based. They have this in common with Reactive Movements. Reactive movements are formed in response to social or political stress. When a problem arises in society some people turn to religious movements to possibly resolve the issue. Thus, a new religion is formed to address the stimulus.

Another circumstance in which a new religious movement would form would be when practices and ideas from a common monotheistic religion is combined with a less traditional spirit or shaman based religion. These religious movements are known as Hybrid Religions. They mix the spiritual aspects of indigenous religions with the traditional practices of more modern religions.

These are just a few of the many circumstances in which New Religious Movements form. Like stated previously religions are unpredictable and there are many reasons and ways that new ideas and practices can form into a new religious movement. They can come from anywhere and anyone at anytime.

Discussion 12

Discussion #12

The Civil War ended on April 9, 1865, and the original goal of the North to preserve the Union was accomplished. The task that lay before Lincoln and Congress now was reintegrating the rebellious Southern states into the Union. For many white southerners “Reconstruction was a vicious and destructive experience – a period when vindictive Northerners inflicted humiliation and revenge on a prostate South.”

In order to prepare for this discussion, you must first complete the following readings.

    • Review and identify the relevant sections of Chapter 17.

After you have completed your readings, please post your responses to only ONE of the following questions:

    1. President Lincoln was assassinated on the April 14th, 1865. But what if Lincoln had led the nation through Reconstruction? Would the events and outcomes of Reconstruction have been different?
    2. Review the 4 Reconstruction Plans: Lincoln’s Ten Percent plan, the Wade-Davis Bill, Johnson’s plan for Reconstruction also referred to as “Restoration”, and Congressional Reconstruction, comparing and contrasting them. In your opinion, which plan would have produced the best results, or were all of the plans doomed to produce the same end?

Write a research paper about PTSD

Write a 4 pages problem solving with a minimum of 3 sources.

I. Introduction in which you introduce the problem, tell who is affected by it, and show that the problem is worth addressing. State your solution, including the reasons why these actions should be taken, and the possible consequences of such action.

II. Detailed definition statement of problem in which you outline the specific concerns and needs your solution should address. Here, you should also discuss prior attempts to solve the problem and why they didn’t work. And you should stress here your attempts to investigate all possible solutions through intensive research. End this section by stating words to the effect that your research has narrowed to the most promising three to five (3-5) possible solutions, which you will review in the body below.

III. Detailed description of each solution – Describe your search through many possible solutions. This can take several paragraphs, one per each possible solution examined/researched.

You could begin with the possible solutions you rejected, and why you rejected them (consequences too great, too important, too infeasible).

Then have a paragraph on the solution you have chosen, giving all the strong reasons you have for choosing it. You job here is to persuade your audience that this is the best of all possible solutions.

Again, it is possible – even probable – that you will decide to use more than one of these possible solutions – a three pronged approach – and in that case, you will need a final body paragraph detailing your plan for using multiple solutions.

IV. Conclusion in which you make a direct appeal to persuade your audience that your understanding of the problem is deep, your research of it and the possible solutions is through, and your conclusion/decision/plan is the best advised. And, as with any conclusion, remember to keep it short.

Prepare for a Whooping Cough Outbreak

Create an executive summary addressing how best to successfully manage the problem outlined in the scenario. This plan has two parts. First is the executive summary followed by a PowerPoint presentation with audio.

Step 1 – Write an Executive Summary covering the following:

Develop an action plan to share with the hospital staff and CDC local office to address and contain the outbreak in an effective and efficient manner at the hospital.

Outline the process of developing alliances and partnerships to help treat and contain the outbreak through the use of efficient and effective approaches to the healthcare delivery systems.

Analyze the organizational decisions needed to be undertaken as a leader; that would play a part in addressing and containing the outbreak along with the use of limited resources.

Determine the best leadership style to use to effectively bring together multiple departments and agencies to work together as one team in containing and treating the outbreak.

Summarize innovative processes needed to address the outbreak given the shortage of resources and time to implement a strategy.

Outline any ethical considerations that should be addressed as part of the strategy in treating and containing the outbreak due to the shortage of resources such as money, manpower, and medicine.

Write a conclusion on the process changes needed to help improve reaction time and containment from the standpoint of the hospital.

Step 2 – Create a PowerPoint presentation

As president of the hospital, you will need to create and record a 5-minute presentation using PowerPoint made up of at least 12 slides covering your findings and suggestions in dealing with the outbreak and containment of the disease. The presentation will be presented to local health officials including the officials from the counties identified by the CDC. Therefore the style of the presentation needs to be formal.

I will do the recording so do not include that in the presentation.
