In approximately 4-5 pages, carefully (a) lay out and explain and (b) critically evaluate ONE of the following:

1. nwith Edwards’ critique of it;
2. Paley’s teleological argument for God’s existence together with Hume’s critique of this sort of argument;
3. Mackie’s two chief arguments for why there cannot exist an all-good and all-powerful God if there exists moral evil (be sure to address Plantinga’s and Adam’s critique of these arguments);
4. Augustine’s account of the nature of and source of moral evil, being sure to address in detail how he thinks the existence of moral evil is consistent with the existence of an all-good and all-powerful God;
5. Johnson’s or Rowe’s case for why there cannot (or is unlikely to) exist an all-good and all-powerful God if there exists (unnecessary) natural evil;
6. Hick’s case for why the existence of moral and natural evil is consistent with the existence of an all-good and all-powerful God;
7. Clifford’s case for why it is irrational to affirm (or deny) God’s existence without sufficient evidence (be sure to explain in detail his arguments for why one ought to never believe anything without sufficient evidence);
8. Pascal’s case for why a wager on God’s existence is forced and of infinite consequence together with why the only rational option is to believe in God (be sure to address his account of the nature of faith in God and of happiness);
9. James’ case for why belief in God is a “genuine option” and why it is rational, not only to avoid error, but also to take a chance on the truth.

In critically evaluating any one of these cases, be sure to do the following:

a. Analyze the meaning of the key terms. E.g., if addressing the problem of evil, be sure to explain the nature of such properties as all-good, all-powerful, all-knowing, moral evil, natural evil, necessary suffering, and free will. Or, if addressing the rationality of faith in God, be sure to explain such things as the difference between believing that God exists and believing in God; the nature of sufficient evidence; what Pascal, say, takes happiness to be.
b. Evaluate whether the arguments provided are valid or invalid and especially whether the arguments’ premises are coherent (make any sense), well justified or true. To do so, you may very well wish to discuss how the other philosophers would respond to the premises or arguments.

Please respond to each student with One Peer Reviewed Article.

Michelle,

Van Woerkom & De Reuver, 2009 research addressed that fact that transformational leaders can be the predictors of job satisfaction among employees and predict high performance levels amongst international managers within the workplace although the research discovered that some individuals who are placed in managerial positions exhibit transformational leadership styles whiles others do not, which causes a decrease in job satisfaction.

Leslie,

The measure for the study is a self-reporting one and any one who has worked in addictions knows that a addict’s reliably is very low more so when they are in active detox. None of the measures are considered 100% reliable. Because there is no single perfect measure of craving, it is essential that researchers understand the limitations of each measure (Sayette, Shiffman, Tiffany, Niaura, Martin, & Shadel, 2009). My plan for the study is to run an ABAB type of experiment to simplify the procedure.

Lester,

The aim of the research is to determine the impact of charismatic leaders in an organization and relationship between charismatic leadership and employee performance turnover. There have been studies on different typed of leadership, but few studies have been conducted on the effect of charismatic leadership on employee turnover. Danişman, Tosuntaş and Karadağ (2015) conducted a meta-analysis on how leadership affects organization performance.

The behavior that was chosen is Anxiety influenced Anger.

You will be able to learn firsthand about behavior modification. For this exercise, you have to select a behavior you would like to change. You will be required to keep a behavior log provided to you in class. There will be opportunities for you to talk about the behavior change during class times. Your instructor will facilitate these discussions. For the assignment you have to reflect on the behavior modification, critically analyze the process and dynamics and apply a theoretical framework. This is a professional paper; it should be at least 10 – 12 pages in length (not including the cover page or references), typewritten, one and a half spacing and in APA style of writing. Please address the following sections:

1. Abstract
2. Introduction of the behavior
3. Short literature overview of the type of behavior you aim to change (use at least 10 articles)
4. Identify the theoretical framework and apply it to the behavior
5. Explain all aspects of behavior modification as relevant to your behavior change
6. Summary:
-Identify strengths and barriers to behavior change
-Discuss social work implications to behavior modification
7. Provide the completed behavior log

. In this workshop assignment you will identify policy options, the intended outcome of the options, the criteria by which options are evaluated, and make your final recommendation.
To develop the policy options portion of the analysis, you will provide at least 3 alternatives for consideration. This section is not just a recitation of various choices; it provides an analysis of each option by stating the positives and negative aspects of pursuing each path. Your text provides some major actions policymakers use to deal with policy issues. Use these to prompt your thoughts. Make sure to keep the outcome of the proposed alternative in mind as you conduct the analysis.
In this section, you will also layout the decision or evaluation criteria you will use in making your recommendation. The text provides sample criteria for consideration in Box 14-2 on page 286.
Alternatively, Collins (2005) presents five criteria from the work of Rodriguez-Garcia (2000). These are:
Relevance: Does the intervention contribute to the health needs of the target population? Is it consistent with policies and priorities?
Progress: How do actual results compare with projected or scheduled results?
Efficiency: What are the results in relation to resource expenditure of the intervention?
Effectiveness: To what degree does this particular intervention attain its objectives?
Impact: What is the effect of the activity on the overall health and related socio-economic development?
Finally, you should choose one of your options as your recommendation. The recommendation section should begin by clearly identifying which option is favored and why the option is the preferred alternative. This section is not intended to repeat the information in the analysis, rather it explains why, despite any drawbacks, this is the best action going forward. Therefore, the section also identifies what, if any, actions can be taken to mitigate or overcome any negative aspects of the recommendation (Tietelbaum & Wilensky, 2015).

It is not unusual for use to contemplate the changes we would make to healthcare policy if we were in charge.  Indeed, criticism of our leaders and their actions has become a bit of a sport.  In this assignment you are given the opportunity to critically reflect on changing the Affordable Care Act of 2010 and its supporting regulation.  This is not a forum to repeat talking points from the various pundits.  Rather, it is expected that this reflective paper would prompt broad, critical, creative thinking to resolve what may be the most important policy and legal issues of our time.  This is an opportunity to be part of the solution.

Upon completion of this assignment, you should be able to:

• Evaluate the political and legal process by which health problems are addressed through public policy.
• Integrate biblical principles into the ethics and policies of healthcare payment and delivery.
• Design policies that address community and national health needs in the context of economic health and stewardship.
