In his book God Behaving Badly David Lamb examines difficult texts in the Old Testament and tries to answer the hard questions that arise from those readings. In my own examination of Lamb’s God Behaving Badly I will look at a few of the- questions and difficult texts that I found most interesting. Specifically, I will examine Lamb’s response to God 's anger, apparent lack of concern for race and genocide, and violence in the Old Testament, and I will offer my own response.

The french revolution and mexican revolution both happen in different time eras but were both worth the cost for similar economic, political, or social reasons. The poorest of people, dealing with these charges including soaring bread payments announced it was sufficient and began to force a resolution upon the dictator. The Mexicans would become fighters while the French laborers would arrange an organization to progress upon the dictator's expenses. These laborers remained battling not just for themselves but towards everyone that was terrified to use their voice because they were traumatized by the consequences that could result.

Socialization is the process which people learn the attitudes, values, and behaviors that are appropriate for members of a culture. My family experiences relate to me by learning the proper way to behave, morals to believe, and knowing what to value in life. Between the views and attitudes of my parents, they both believed that women deserve equal rights with men and stood up for equality. There wasn’t any conflicting ideas within my family about the nature and “proper” role of women. There are generational attitudes in the way my parents grew up verses myself. For an example, my parents grew up in a society of where girls are expected to learn how to clean and cook in the country, while boys were expected to run the farm and do agriculture.

Inventory levels are said to a function of market type within which the company operates. Therefore companies should not run out of inventory so as to maintain their customer base. Transport is the influence of distribution cost. Therefore the chosen mode of transport should be at apposition of protecting the goods from damage thus not endangering the future of the business. In reference to the article regarding the distribution centers, several retailers like the Tesco & Sainsbury have diverted all their warehousing to various logistic companies to offer transportation services. In an economic point of view, marginal cost (MC) is equal to marginal revenue (MR), (Acemoglu, 2012). This statement also applies to marginal marketing expense (MME) equals to marginal marketing response (MMR). This will only occur when there is an increment in the service levels. In conclusion, the knowledge of physical distribution is only essential to purchasers and work study management can be related to PDM since it entails accuracy and efficiency. On the other hand, logistic structure should not be nonflexible but can be

The three major phases of the production network, acquisition, generation and circulation, have been overseen freely, cushioned by extensive inventories. Expanding focused weights, and business globalization are constraining firms to create supply chains that can rapidly react to client needs. To stay focused, these organizations must decrease working expenses while persistently enhancing client administration. With late advances in correspondences and data innovation, and a quickly developing show of logistics choices, firms have a chance to lessen working expenses by arranging the arranging of these stages.
