Further, the medium used in visual arts can be used to define culture, including the oils or watercolors that artists use to express their views. The mediums used in visual arts introduce how the social practice of artists is an element that culture cannot be narrowed down to focusing on language alone. Artists communicate their messages on matters that impact human life. As they do so, they have to use their professional skills to evaluate the appropriate medium to use to illustrate their artworks. On the other hand, musicians and dramatists use different forms of materials in their social practice to express the human experience (Williams 160). These arguments are entirely objective because they illustrate the real-life human experiences in the social world. To synthesize what Williams is putting across, one must understand the abstract processes in human social life that define how value and social practice are elements of culture. In my view, the value of artists is determined by how they passionately express their feelings in visual art.

One of the strategies USMS can use to prospect for donors and participants in a course to train adults on swimming is to spread stories on social media. The stories can include experiences in loss of life due to lack of swimming skills, and individuals benefit from USMS training programs. These stories can be shared by different people from the organization, including the CEO, CFO, coaches, members within their connections (Buvala, 2009, Nov 1). One limitation of this strategy is ethical concerns to avoid being manipulative to the social media users on emotions on a life lost by non-swimmers.

A second strategy is the use of social media is to connect with individuals most interested in the subject of swimming in social media.

Defining a Community

/in , /by

What Is Community?

There are many ways to define and describe a community. Based on your personal experience, describe a community in which you engage. How does that compare with the ideas from the required readings or other literature?

Answer preview

The above description compares with other definitions of community. According to Wang et al. (2018), a community in the topology of networks is a subgroup of a graph with more than two nodes connected by links from both directions. This definition differs from my description in that the elements must be linked to each other from both directions. However, the definitions share the feature that a community must consist of two or more items.  Jull, Giles, and Graham (2017) mention that a community from a health perspective contains the locus, social ties, common interest, and joint action elements. This means a community is something that could be traced using boundaries. People in a community have social ties through family, friends, or acquaintances and share a common interest such as norms.

Malware is another security threat that is affecting organizations today. Malware refers to malicious software that damages systems and data as it gains access to networks. Malware is delivered as links through emails or files such that when users click the links, the file is executed, and the malware takes control of the computer. The files that attackers gain from using malware are used to demand ransom, especially is the data in their possession is sensitive. Even though malware has existed since the 1970s, it has evolved to match technological changes and security upgrades. According to Jang-Jaccard & Nepal (2014), malware evolves to exploit new flaws in emerging technologies and avoid detection. Some examples of malware are viruses’ worms, spyware, trojan, and ransomware, among other malicious software. All these malware operate uniquely, but they are all dependent on user actions. The common ways of propagating malware are emails, executable files, social media, and instant messaging.

Kaysen et al. (2007) explain that the use of alcohol is associated with incidences of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Among battered women, alcohol use is common and often linked to other trauma symptoms (Kaysen et al., 2007). Drinking is often based on a mechanism to cope with trauma symptoms arising from violence. Kaysen et al. (2007) explain a significant difference between trauma incidences among the heavy drinkers, abstainers, and moderate drinkers. Among the survivors of domestic violence, there are different motivations for alcohol use, depending on their violent experiences. Kaysen et al. (2007) emphasize that women are more exposed to chronic domestic violence, leading to chronic traumatic events that advance to PTSD and depression, leading to increased alcohol use problems. The heavy episodic drinking by the battered women is strongly associated with trauma.

/in /by

In approximately 2-3 pages double-spaced, please name your presuppositions about:

  1. What the Bible is and what your sources are for your answer (e.g., parents, church, friends, books you’ve read, etc.)
  2. How it is read: e.g., literally, as an artifact from the ancient world, as a message to us today, as an engagement between the ancient world and us, etc.
  3. The relationship between the text and our lives today.
  4. What, if anything, have you noticed about how the Bible or religion are being engaged amid the pandemic?

thanks for helping me on this assignment. I am not a religious person, nor did I grow up with an explicitly religious family.

So please help me with the paper based on my background.

Answer preview

There is a significant relationship between the text and people’s lives today. It is because a book in the scripture is the basis of Christian character. People apply the written scriptures in their daily lives to please God. The values and behaviors of Christian believers are influenced and shaped by the texts in the Bible. Besides, biblical writings guide the actions of its followers, which must reflect the word of God. The process of decision making is part of daily routine, and texts in the Bible have influenced choices made by believers. The scriptures provide a framework to assess one’s values and character based on the book’s stories.

The personal rule that I live by is being mindful of personal biases when engaging with others by withholding judgmental statements that may harm those around me. I have realized the importance of understanding the causes of someone’s behavior before jumping into conclusions. As much us that our minds out of instincts can scan the negatives, I stand firm to the personal rule of being mindful of others. This has helped me educate myself on how my judgmental conduct can affect the world’s unity and harmony. For instance, the negative perceptions that we openly say about substance abuse addicts show a lack of remorse. Yet, in Ferstle (2018), we should portray acts of justice, wisdom, thoughtfulness, and modesty. These are attributes reinforced in Buddha’s teachings on ethics, as seen in the Wheel of the Law, which complies with the personal rule of mindfulness.

He questions his mother about his parentage and lineage but receives no response. George did not get to know the identity of his father since his mother silenced his inquiries. In one situation, her mother says, “hush George, the walls have ears, and someone will talk” (Daut, pg. 15). Since George is categorized as a Mullato, it is expected he will not be enslaved. However, this is not the case due to the racial conflict of his origin. Jack Sejour characterizes George as a Mullato to indicate that race does not matter since he does not receive any prejudice or class. Sejour also characterizes George with a vengeance since he ends up killing his father. The genre of race is portrayed to indicate that any form of segregation destroys the social fabric. One would assume that George would have an easy way since he is a mulatto. George takes his father’s life in vengeance for the slavery he has been subjected to together with his mother. His master, Alfred, took advantage of a black woman because he felt superior due to race and gender differences.

System or Institution Impacted As It Relates to the Specified Population

Considering that enhancing health and safety is crucial in social service, the Baltimore City Health Department (BCHD) and Maryland Department of Health (MDH) have been affected. These government systems have been impacted by the high infection rates, requiring the authorities to inject funds to assist the disadvantaged groups.  The leaders developed emergency funding to promote health and safety and offer relief to vulnerable groups such as Hispanics (MDH, 2020). Other measures taken were hiring social workers to provide public education, social services and encourage testing. These efforts have been demanding, but they are worthwhile in promoting health and safety.
