example of my past blog posts:
Reflection about Death
Death is among the most debated topics by people. In the “Story of God” Season 1 Episode 1, “Beyond Death”, Morgan Freeman talks about the beliefs that people have about death. Some people believe that they will meet their loved ones after death, while others disagree with the theories of the afterlife (Freeman). Other beliefs focus on the soul leaving the body and continuing to live on after death. Others see the light, which is a signal of spirituality.
Similarly, Chapter 6: Life Beyond Death and the Spiritual World, shares the same point about the soul being immortal. The chapter talks about the soul having a different identity from the body and its ability to survive death (Wilson 168). The Bible, Ecclesiastes 12.7, mentions, “The dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it”, while the Qur’an 32.8-9 mentions “And He originated the creation of man out of clay, then He fashioned his progeny of an extraction of mean water, then He shaped him, and breathed His spirit in him”. Both verses suggest that the soul is divine and has eternal life.
The arguments suggest that the soul is pure. The purpose of life is to retain the purity of the soul based on the original mind. Chapter 3 mentions, “The Original Mind is the intrinsic essence of mind, the true self” (Wilson 168), which relates to the ability of the soul to remain pure. The topic of purity continues in Chapter 4, which says, “Whoever associates with pure love, and those whose love resembles God’s, are received joyfully into the Kingdom of Heaven” (Wilson 137). The quote highlights pure love as a purpose of life and the existence of an afterlife. The statement “Have benevolence towards all living beings” (Tattvarthasutra 7.11) supports the aspect of kindness and purity. Through this, people can have an afterlife after death.

Examples of my blog posts:
TASK 1: he book The Dhammapada, Chapter 1, Contrary Ways, is my favourite. I like it so much because of its advice concerning pure thoughts and learning from past mistakes. An inspirational quote from the book is “For hate is not conquered by hate: hate is conquered by love” (Mascaro 35). The quote inspires people to love each other even in negative situations. A confusing quote is “The mind is wavering and restless, difficult to guard and restrain” (Mascaro 40). The quote is confusing because I am unsure whether it encourages free thought or following rules. A quote that challenges me is “Just as a flower which seems beautiful and has colour but has no perfume, so are the fruitless words of the man who speaks them but does them not” (Mascaro 43). The quote challenges me to act accordingly based on my words. Finally, the quote “Even as a great rock is not shaken by the wind, the wise man is not shaken by praise or by blame” (Mascaro 46) taught me something that I never thought of before. It made me stop the obsession with self-praise that I love.

TASK 2: Chapter 4: The Purpose of Life in The Family and Society and Chapter 5: The Purpose of Life in the Natural World offers various teachings. The subsection of Unity and Community emphasizes the spirit of unity and consideration of the society in overall decision making (Wilson 127). I learned about the virtues of cooperation, friendship, fairness, and the need for individuals to consider others in the family and society in decision-making. The subsection relates to the message relayed in Reverence for Life in Chapter 5. The subsection encourages individuals to value others and act kindly to everyone in society (Wilson 147). Overall, they encourage goodwill, kindness, and considering others when making decisions.

TASK 3: Episode 4, “Who is God” explores the universal concept and connection to God. In the show, Freeman says that people connect to God differently. He references Moses who met God in a bush, Buddha who found enlightenment under a tree, and Mohammed who experienced Allah in the mountain (Freeman). The show relates to what we discussed in class concerning the connection that individuals and societies have with God. Although different religions connect to God differently, the overall conclusion is that there is a universal God.

Another example:
Task 1: Confucius wrote the Analects in the period B.C. 154. Its basic context includes the Confucius sayings that offered advice on social relations. Similarly, the Tao Te Ching originated from the Chinese in the 6th-century B.C. The content of the text were phrases about integrity.
An intriguing quote in the first half of the 2nd book of Tao Te Ching is “There are no words which men detest more than ‘solitary’, ‘desolate, and, hapless, yet lords and princes use these to refer to themselves” (Lau 95). The quote is special because it explores social relations. It challenges leaders to be close to their people. Conversely, an inspiring quote from chapter 9 of Analects is the assertion by the master, “Do I possess knowledge? No, I do not. A rustic put a question to me and my mind was a complete blank. I kept hammering at the two sides of the question until I got everything out of it” (Lau 9.8). The quote highlights the need to consider different perspectives of an issue before making a final decision. Although the quotes are from two sacred texts, they relate to the aspect of collective thinking and decision making.
Task 2:
Prophet Zoroaster’s life had some similarities and differences to that of Prophet Mohammed in the Quran. The video reveals that they were both born in the Middle East during a time of trouble in a population that constituted migrants (Haubrich). In addition, both prophets faced resistance in their early inception because they were monotheist. Another similarity is that they both battled evil and had a common enemy in the devil. They both existed in a polytheist society and tried to convince their people about believing in one God. The video relates to the liturgy in the Zend Avesta concerning worship and the existence of Ahura Mazda.

This paper is a statement of your personal philosophy of educational leadership, which should focus on the purpose of leadership, which is why leadership is carried out and not so much how it is carried out. Your purpose of leadership is to emphasize the long-range impact you believe leadership should have on stakeholders and on the community—the outcome of leadership. As you convey your philosophy, you are to focus on its outcome rather than on methods and practices. Those are tools of carrying out your philosophy; therefore, a simple discussion of leadership strategies does not make up your philosophy of leadership.

As an academic paper, it is to be supported by the body of knowledge in the field, which is to include references to the literature from educational philosophy, psychology, curriculum, and learning theory. Treat this as a position statement, a persuasive paper. Make declarative statements of “ought” and “should.”

1.A specific question about an example used in the panel
2.A general question about a concept or something that was said.
3.A question that you think that I (the teacher) would ask and expect you to know. (so something that’s connected to the book)

also get me the highlights (quotes & other) from this video.

Highlight: (List in bullet points 4 direct quotes from participants that you found interesting. These highlights should represent different perspectives – include name, title)

Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read Chapters 1 and 2 in your course text and Chapter 2 in How Movies Work.

Reflect

Your textbook, Film: From Watching to Seeing, makes a distinction between story and plot, stating that story is what happens in a movie, and plot is how it happens. The distinction may seem minor; however, throughout this course, you will be scrutinizing the various aesthetic choices and cinematic techniques that work together to create meaning, develop characters’ motivations, and advance the plot in any movie. With that in mind, you can see that how a film presents action can be very important.

A logline is a one-sentence description of a film’s story.
A plot summary is a compressed description of what happens in the film and why.

Write

Please choose a film from this list of approved choices. Note: If you would like to write about a film that is not on this list, you must email your professor for approval in advance or you may not receive credit on this discussion.

In at least 250 words, describe the relationship of story to plot in your chosen film. Be sure to

Identify the title, writer, director, major actors, and the year of the film’s release.

Summarize the story of your chosen film (what happens) in one sentence.

Summarize the plot of your chosen film (what motivates the sequence of events) in about five sentences.

Discuss whether the action in your film is presented chronologically or non-linearly. In your discussion, address the following:

What are some of the effects of this choice on the audience?
How are elements like character development or foreshadowing impacted by the choice of storytelling methods?

Discuss an understanding of cells and cell behavior is a critically important component of disease diagnosis and treatment. But some diseases can be complex in nature, with a variety of factors and circumstances impacting their emergence and severity.

Effective disease analysis often requires an understanding that goes beyond isolated cell behavior. Genes, the environments in which cell processes operate, the impact of patient characteristics, and racial and ethnic variables all can have an important impact.

An understanding of the signals and symptoms of alterations in cellular processes is a critical step in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. For APRNs, this understanding can also help educate patients and guide them through their treatment plans.

In this Assignment, you examine a case study and analyze the symptoms presented. You identify cell, gene, and/or process elements that may be factors in the diagnosis, and you explain the implications to patient health.

In the unit readings, you had the opportunity to review three employee satisfaction surveys… here’s the link to the surveys: https://www.qualtrics.com/blog/employee-satisfaction-survey/ . A key role for the HR department is to take the temperature of the employees—figuratively, not literally. A very important way this can be done is through the use of satisfaction or attitude surveys. For this discussion, you can use one of the three surveys or any other similar survey you can locate. In your post, address the following:

Identify which survey you are using (with a link to it) and describe five questions you feel would be most useful for HR professionals.
Explain why you selected these questions and what information they would offer HR about the attitudes of the employees.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics Web site (https://www.bls.gov/), has a wealth of information on a number of HR topics. Its vastness, although impressive in scope, can also be intimidating for new users. Using the Data Tools tab (or any other location in the site), find at least one example of a dataset you feel would be most helpful in comparing metrics for an organization you are familiar with. For example, safety records, benefit plans data, or area wage comparisons. Describe the data you identified (with its source) and why you think this data would be useful.

Employers have been coming up with innovative employee rewards to boost morale and acknowledge employee needs for creativity and personal goal accomplishment. Some of the latest potential employee rewards include using the Internet at work for personal reasons such as shopping, communicating with friends, or personal finances; bringing a pet to work; instituting a controlled napping policy, and the sports and office betting pools.

Write an six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:
Determine how innovations in employee benefits can improve the overall competitive compensation strategy of the organization.
Explain how innovative benefits could be tied to specific jobs.
Critique the effectiveness of equity-based rewards systems versus those with more creative approaches.
Discuss the key elements of integrating innovation into a traditional total rewards program.
Recommend a process that optimizes an employee-based suggestion program to continually refresh the total rewards of the organization.
