Hi, I need two questions answered.

they both the same questions but on different narratives:

You should identify the author of each extract, discuss any specialised
language or concepts that are deployed, locate the extract in its
intellectual and historical context, and consider its sociological
relevance and significance.

Wealth is thus bad ethically only in so far as it is a temptation to
idleness and sinful enjoyment of life, and its acquisition is bad only
when it is with the purpose of later living merrily and without care.

they had left their state they became stateless; once they had been
deprived of their human rights they were rightless, the scum of the

Language and Reading Acquisition, Discussion 1 and 2 help

/in /by

Language and Reading Acquisition

Prior to beginning this discussion please read “Language and Literacy in Educational Settings” (pp. 169-178), “Neuroscience of Reading” (pp. 179-184), “Learning to Read” (pp. 185-191), and “Reading Comprehension: Reading for Learning” (pg. 192-197) in your required text.

Based on your resources this week, choose three areas of language and reading acquisition that you found most interesting and that were unknown to you prior to this week. Explain the theoretical perspectives of each of these chosen areas. Apply skeptical inquiry to a brief discussion about why language acquisition is an important area for scholars and educators to understand when developing learning opportunities. Apply the concept of language and reading acquisition to your own academic success. Has your own language development affected your success as a student? As an employee? How? Based on the resources and your current knowledge, do you believe you could develop areas personally that would be beneficial to you, your loved ones, or your friends? Your initial post should be 450 to 600 words in length and thoroughly discuss each of the elements in the prompt.

Writing Development

Prior to beginning this discussion, please read “Writing, Early” (pp. 212-219) and “Writing, Advanced” (pp. 220-226) in your required text as well as “Using Blogs to Improve Students’ Summary Writing Abilities” and “An Adjective Is a Word Hanging Down From a Noun: Learning to Write and Students With Learning Disabilities” in your required articles.

Based on your resources this week, explain the theoretical perspectives of early versus late writing development. Apply skeptical inquiry to a brief discussion about why language acquisition is an important component of learning how to write. Apply the concept of writing acquisition to your own academic success. Has your own development for language and for writing affected your success? How? Based on the evidence suggested in “An Adjective Is a Word Hanging Down From a Noun: Learning to Write and Students With Learning Disabilities,” only 25% of students can be classified as proficient writers (Harris & Graham, 2013). Apply ethical principles and professional standards of learning and cognition psychology to this complex and growing concern by playing the role of the expert. What suggestions do you have, based on empirical evidence and theory, for increasing the competency of writers in this country? As a scholar, how important is it to encourage competent writing in others? What strategies could you employ to improve your own writing? Your initial post should be 450 to 600 words in length and thoroughly discuss each of the elements in the prompt.

1. Based on how you will evaluate your EBP project, which independent and dependent variables do you need to collect? Why? (350-400 words

2. Not all EBP projects result in statistically significant results. Define clinical significance, and explain the difference between clinical and statistical significance. How can you use clinical significance to support positive outcomes in your project?(350-400 words)

3. Discuss one personal strength and one weakness you have regarding professional presentations. Name one method for improvement for each of these, and discuss why it is important for you to work on these skills if you want to present your findings in a more formal setting.(350-400 words)

4. Sustaining change can be difficult, as there are many variables that can affect implementation. One critical component of EBP is to ensure that practice change is part of an organization’s culture so it will continue to impact outcomes over time. Name two potential barriers that may prevent your EBP change proposal from continuing to obtain the same desired results 6 months to a year from now, and your strategies for overcoming these barriers (400-450 words)

Week 3: Discussion Forum Intellectualism and Hinduism continued

/in /by

The Reading and Study questions for this session focus on Pals’s chapter on Tylor and Frazer, two early theorists of the “scientific” study of religion. Besides being of historic importance in their own right, their work is used by Pals to frame the theorists who follow in the book. So it’s a really good idea to get the big picture of what they are about. Since some students reported delays in acquiring the Pals book, you will find the chapter posted as a PDF in the module.

Remember that the “Reading and Discussion Questions” are designed to call your attention to issues particularly relevant to the topics for the week. Use them wisely, and not as “questions I have to answer” as if you should be going back and looking for answers to the questions. Try reading without the questions the first time to get an entirely unencumbered initial take. Since the questions usually run in sequence through each chapter of Pals, you might then read again with the questions in hand, where your attention is called to particular aspects of things. It may be wise to read again as your classmates raise problems, make interpretations, and debate issues. (If you do things that way, of course you won’t ever be fully finished with the material; you understanding will always be in process, as it should be.)

Two Tortured Issues

Huston Smith points to two tortured issues about Hinduism, which he talks about but does not attempt to resolve. The first is whether Hinduism ought to be thought of as Polytheistic or Monotheistic. The other is the extent to which personal identity is preserved through the cycle of rebirths – especially at its conclusion. What is it that gives rise to each of these issues? Why does it matter which way each turns out, if it does?

DEFINING AND EXPLAINING

Pals issues an important caution about running to a dictionary for a definition of the word ‘religion’. Defining, he claims, is linked to explaining. What does he mean by that and why is it such an important disclaimer?

SURVIVALS

What is the doctrine of “survivals”? How is it connected to the idea of intellectual evolution?

ON METHOD

Can the study of contemporary tribal societies shed light on ancient history? Or vice versa? In particular, on what assumptions would it seem useful to be explaining the origin of religion by studying contemporary tribal, or “primitive” societies? (By the way, this question is not a ‘no-brainer’.)
