Essay Instructions: INTERPRETIVE JOURNEY PAPER INSTRUCTIONS
On Monday of Module/Week 8, you will submit a paper that will demonstrate an understanding of the interpretive journey through detailed work in each of the 5 major sections of this method of Bible study. This paper will reflect a personal and independent study of a selected passage of Scripture. As such, bibliographic resources are limited to course tools (Strong?s Exhaustive Concordance and The Zondervan Illustrated Bible Dictionary) and similar resources.

In order to complete this assignment you will first select a passage:
A. Acts 6:1?7 (This is the one I will go with)

Once you have selected a passage, you will then take the verse through the interpretive journey process. Your answer must engage each of the following steps.

Step 1: Grasp the text in their town. Summarize the original situation and the meaning of the text for the biblical audience.

Step 2: Measure the width of the river to cross. What are the differences between the biblical situation and our situation?

Step 3: Cross the Principlizing Bridge. List the theological principle(s) communicated by the passage.

Step 4: Consult the biblical map. How does the theological principle fit with the rest of the Bible?

Step 5: Grasp the text in our town. How should individual Christians today live out the theological principle?

This assignment must be 2?3 pages. While the amount of material will vary based on the passage you select, it is likely that your answer to each step in the interpretive journey will be at least 1 paragraph.

Your paper must use current Turabian format and contain both a cover page and a Bibliography that recognizes any sources you may have used in your paper. The cover page and Bibliography do not count towards the 2?3 pages.

Modern and symbolic-interpretive perspectives provide us different ways to analyse and understand organisations.
The two theoretical perspectives and discuss how each perspective provides us different ways to analyse and understand organisations.
Present your argument in an essay format. In answering please remember it asks you about ways of seeing, understanding and analysing and not doing, managing or constructing.
In answering the research essay questions you must focus explicitly on the key issues identified in the question and strictly adhere to the structure outlined below. A failure to follow these and the following instructions will have a significant negative impact on your marks.

Introduction:

In this section you must provide an overview of your answer to the question; provide answers to the key what and why questions of your argument/answer. Then you must identify the paradigms you have selected and provide an overview of how they provide different ways of understanding organisations.

Theoretical Framework:

In this section you must compare and contrast your chosen paradigms. This must include an exploration of the meta-theoretical assumptions underpinning their different world-views and how these result in their advocates and practitioners seeing organisations differently. You should then provide an overview of the key theories, from each of the chosen paradigms, which help you understand and analyse organisations.

Conclusion:

You must conclude with your general answer to the question. It should reiterate argument/provisional answer provided in the introduction and indicate to what extent it has been supported by the analysis and how each of the paradigms have helped to provide a more complete understanding of organisations.

You are required to engage with and reference a minimum of six different sources which includes the textbook. Students will be expected to use the Library and other resources such as the World Wide Web to access relevant information.

Essay Instructions: Please respond in detail (with accuracy, focus and appropriate references) to each of the following questions:
1. Even though medieval interpretive dance need not have an intellectual appeal, neither is it something that immediately can be appreciated without previous experiences that have deepened one's capacity for appreciation. So it follows that to get full enjoyment from medieval interpretive dance, people must commit considerable time and effort to developing their ability to observe and understand it.

The point of this argument in the above paragraph is that:

(A) the enjoyment of medieval interpretive dance has little to do with the intellect
(B) viewing medieval interpretive dance does not always result in an increase in the person's appreciation
(C) medieval interpretive dance has a universal appeal
(D) the ability to enjoy medieval interpretive dance often requires preparation
(E) medieval interpretive dance that is enjoyed usually deepens a person's capacity for appreciation

2. Columbus and Akron cannot both be included in Carly Simon's tour route. The singer will make a stop in Columbus unless River Glen is included in the tour route. Unfortunately, a stop in River Glen is not possible. Clearly, then, a stop in Akron will not occur.

The reasoning in the argument above most clearly parallels that in which of the following arguments?

(A) In pest control, success can be attained by either using pesticides or by introducing natural enemies of the insect. But the methods, if used in combination, are ineffective. Of course, neither is required if pest-resistant crops are planted. So if farmers need pesticides, there are clearly no natural enemies of the insects.
(B) The conductor never selects two numbers by Stevie Wonder in a single concert. But when he selects a number by Aretha Franklin, he does not select a number by Stevie Wonder at all. For this concert, the conductor has just selected a number by Stevie Wonder, so he will not select any number by Aretha Franklin.
(C) The dessert chef never has both hot fudge sauce and whipped cream available at the same time. If she uses hot fudge sauce, she also used chopped walnuts. But currently, there are no chopped walnuts at hand. It can be inferred that the dessert chef will therefore not be using whipped cream.
(D) In class elections, Annabelle will definitely vote for Anastasia if Alexis does not run. Annabelle will not vote for both Anastasia and Alexander. Since, as it turns out, Alexis will not run, Alexander will not get Annabelle's vote.
(E) The city cannot afford to build both a new town hall and the highway that would be needed to get there. But neither of the projects is worth completing without the other. Since the city will not undertake projects that are not worthwhile, the new town hall building will not be built anytime soon.

3. I know that this is a valuable necklace because Tiffany's sells only priceless pieces of jewelry, and this piece was sold exclusively through Tiffany's in New York.

Which of the following arguments is most nearly similar in its reasoning to the above argument?

(A) This country is the most free nation on earth largely because the founding fathers had the foresight to include a Bill of Rights in the Constitution.
(B) Required core courses are a good idea because students just entering college do not have as good an idea about what constitutes a good education as do the professional educators; therefore, students should not be left complete freedom to select coursework.
(C) Pretzels and beer do not mix well; every evening that I have consumed both pretzels and beer together, the following morning I have had a hangover.
(D) The Tax Code is unfair. It treats non-home owners as a special group when it denies them some rights other citizens have. This treatment is discriminatory, and we all know that discrimination is unfair.
(E) Doing good is our highest duty under the moral law, and that duty is irrational unless we have the ability to discharge it; but since a finite, sensuous creature could never discharge that duty in his lifetime, we must conclude that if there is moral law, the soul is immortal.
