Any contact and interaction between different societies will lead to exchanging cultural values, beliefs, traditions, and practices. Typically, this exchange will be a two-way street, with each society adopting the values and practices they believe will add value to their lives. This type of exchange did not characterize the contacts and interactions between the Middle East and the Western world during the 19th century, considering Westerners tried to impose their values and practices in the Middle East and failed to embrace or adopt any of the Islamic values and norms practiced in the Middle East. According to Khater (2011), the superior economic, military, and political might of the French and the British compared to the Middle East made the contacts and interactions between them unequal. Due to this, these interactions became more conflictual than

Leadership tactics

/in /by

As discussed in Topic 1, effective leaders apply various leadership tactics depending upon the contexts in which they find themselves. Consider the leadership tactics, traits, or models you find yourself drawn to as a leader. Discuss what elements you are drawn to regarding these particular tactics, traits, or models, including how they interconnect with your own personal, moral, ethical, or religious beliefs. Additionally, discuss whether you believe personal, moral, ethical, or religious beliefs of leaders can interfere with their ability to effectively lead and provide specific examples to support your reasoning.

, providing the best judgments. I believe the leader’s personal, religious and moral beliefs affect the ability to lead. This is because when the actions are taken do not align with their personal beliefs, and the leaders cannot make the best decisions when leading. For example, in a situation where a leader must withhold information when making a deal, this may affect their ability to lead.

The emphasis on women’s rights by Beck and Nikki in their book is admirable. While focusing on Egyptian women, agriculture was a significant practice in the region (261). The acknowledgment of the seclusion and inferiority of women during the Hellenistic period is practical. This point enables the reader to understand why the woman’s rights endorsed by the sharia laws were a huge deal (Beck & Nikki, 262). This entails rights such as the woman’s ability to control her financial life and declare the invalidity of her marriage (Beck & Nikki, 263). Generally, this gives a broader perspective of how the aspect of women’s development helped reduce the discriminatory practices that promoted inequality in other cultures. In her social science book, Tucker provides an informative phenomenon in society, revealing how women’s development has taken the course in Islam communities (Tucker, 66-67).

Also, although servant leadership is often associated with the Bible and the teachings of Jesus Christ, explain whether you believe servant leadership is compatible with other religions or worldviews and why.

Through storytelling, it can help connect with other people and help them understand how the company works. In addition, when people engage in storytelling, one can help indicate how their opinions, views, and values are formed based on something (Newstex, 2017). Data analysis can ensure that the organization’s needs are met. It also helps inform the organization’s decisions concerning hiring, training, operations, and the overall functionality of the business.

parts and not the outer parts, an evangelist should never discriminate against people, as we are all equal in God’s eyes.

The Church of God is an evangelistic organization, with its mission and vision statement based on the listed seven commitments. These are prayer, Pentecostal worship, world evangelization, and painting the church. Others are leadership development, care, and interdependence (Mission and Vision. (n.d.). These commitments are believed to reflect the core values of a true Christian. I completely agree with their mission statement because, as a Christian, prayer and worship are crucial. Also, Christians must make it their duty to be evangelists and use their resources to make the church more beautiful by planting trees.

I acknowledge that this is a sensitive matter which I may not stand a chance to argue against. As much as pro-life advocates emphasize protecting the fetus, the mental health status of the mother matters (Rae, 2018). The information presented in the text has challenged me, posing to ask why a law would force a pregnant mother to keep a pregnancy resulting from rape and end up mistreating the baby throughout its development when they remember the ordeal? I believe pregnancy should be wanted, and every baby deserves to be valued, loved, and nurtured before and after birth. As the Bible states in John 1:14, the Church and the believers should embrace grace and truth to see the glory of God, meaning that they must live in an atmosphere of true love and grace-filled. While not condoning abortion procured with unsound reasons, I believe that the ethics of the Sabbath encourages Christians to love and support everyone, including pregnant women who decide to abort, on rational grounds. Hence, an ideal approach that would ensure that believers keep the ethics of the Sabbath would focus on encouraging them to visit such

The artwork demonstrates how new ideas had an impact on Buddhism itself. This shows how exposure to outside influences and new ideas may significantly impact religion and potentially lead to the loss of its core principles. In addition, Buddhism’s initial significance would endure even if it became irrelevant. This would make it easier to comprehend why new concepts were introduced into this religion. It will provide new concepts if Buddhism upholds its basic ideals and beliefs. The ideal morality will be upheld by followers, allowing new ideas to continue according to their rules. Sue states, “There is considerable evidence that conscious efforts were made to ensure accuracy in such preservation and that accuracy continued to be a factor when teachings began to be written down.”[1]

Polygynous marriage.

/in /by

Western observers looking at Islamic societies tend to perceive the presence of polygyny as indicative of the low status of women. Recognizing that such a view is, often, an outsider’s/etic perspective, it raises the question how women in polygynous marriages feel about it and their status as women from an insider’s/emic perspective. Research this issue to find out how Muslim women in polygynous marriages feel about this system. Do they think that it is inherently oppressive to women, or is that opinion a Western conceit (ethnocentric)? Are feminists in the Muslim world focusing on polygyny as a target for reform?

Be very cautious about the sources you use for this assignment. Do they actually interview women in these marriages? Critically evaluate them to understand potential biases and discuss this in your paper. Avoid sources that are actually reporting on cheating and bigamy. Of course, include your sources in a Works Cited and use in-text citations when quoting and paraphrasing. Your choice of sources will be a major factor in the grading of this paper. If you choose a questionable source, be sure to defend your choice.

Remember to look at this issue anthropologically, which may be contrary to personal beliefs.

Type your answers into a word processing file, they should be at least 2-3 full pages.

Relevant Course Objective: Describe examples of cultural universals.

Formatting instructions: All assignments need to follow MLA formatting. This includes the name and title block (See instructions for how to format your first page here (Links to an external site.)). Use MLA in-text citations (Links to an external site.) and Works Cited (Links to an external site.) (if needed). Other formatting instructions about spacing, margins, etc. are in the syllabus.

Polygamy has been the focus of many feminist discussions over the years. Most feminists see polygyny as an insult to women and a tool used to enhance the oppression and suffering of women. However, polygamy, as evidenced in the Islamic culture and religion, is ingrained in the Quran, and this is the main argument used to legitimize it. Therefore, most feminists view polygamy as a legalized form of abuse that has blindfolded many Muslim women into accepting the suffering and oppression that comes with it. As Baker postulates, women in polygamous marriages are gagged by the interpretation of Islamic teachings, which mandates them to be subject to the man and may accommodate co-wives (4).
