If we consider theology as the study of God, or the study of the divine, or the study of the nature of God, then the definition that Mueller puts forth for theology and his justification for taking part in its study make a lot of sense. He breaks down the word into its two Greek roots: theos for “god” and logos for “word” or “understanding” (Mueller 2011, p. 28), and that leaves one with a wide range of possible interpretations. Given that Mueller has an “S.J.” after his name, of course, we must conclude that he will take on ...

On November 5, 2009, the son of Palestinian immigrants, Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan randomly fired into a crowd at a processing center at Fort Hood, the largest active-duty military post in the country (Army Major kills, n.d.). One would be hard pressed to find a larger military stage to conduct such blatant murder.

The depiction of leader – follower mutual roles by Ira Chaleff is a very unique demonstration of the mutuality of this professional relationship with a brilliant creative artistic touch. Truly, it is the case and depending on the style, the success or failure of a team as such is often determined. However, there is one more such observable metaphor; that of a tag team wrestling round. Though not very often, there are tag teams where both the members are found to me in harmony with each other’s performance; especially if they are mutually in good terms. The more aggressive ...

Inyang defines leadership as the process of influencing people so that they strive willingly and enthusiastically toward the realization of group goals. In consideration, Amazon’s, the Washington Post’s and Blue Origin’s success and favorable financial statistics do not constitute sufficient evidence to state that Jeff Bezos is in fact a great leader, as it is not his success but rather how he became successful that can shed light on his leadership skills.

The process of observing a primate can take on many shapes and forms. Prior to beginning my observation, I was not sure what approach I would take because I didn’t know what animals and in what order I would be able to observe these animals. Once I reached the facility, however, I realized that ab-lib sampling would be the most effective approach for me because the monkeys were spread out and it was difficult to consistently observe one group of these together. Similarly, I did not think focal sampling would be effective in this instance, because such an ...

Juvenile defendants are getting processed in a system that is not geared to deal appropriately with them. Focusing on punishment rather than rehabilitation for juvenile offenders, we put them into a system that is treating children in a manner that is fundamentally unfair. When a young person commits a serious crime, the criminal justice system seems ill-equipped to properly handle the situation. There are numerous problems with the adult court system as it pertains to trying juvenile defendants. Our system of justice doesn’t seem to have been made to handle juveniles who commit serious crimes. The blanket solution seems to be to treat ...

Everybody has a hero, someone who has made a huge impact on another person’s life either through actual interaction or as an inspiring story. To be a hero, this someone must have changed another person’s existence for the better. Not all heroes wear costumes or fancy clothes. You don’t see them flying or riding flashy cars. No huge houses under their names, or fat bank accounts to speak of. Some may not even have fought battles or wars, but they still represent strength, endurance, humbleness, and bravery. I am fortunate enough to have met such people in my lifetime. ...

In 2001, John Irving was holding forth at a Q&A at the 92nd Street Y in New York City, and one of the questions had to do with the degree to which Irving’s fiction is autobiographical.
