The Social Milieu Within The Rural Context

Bi'Annacha Andrews is a recent graduate student from Trinity Washington University class of 2016 and currently a grad student at CUA school of social service. In Ms. Andrews presentation she explains the difference between an undergrad student and grad student and the importance of knowing what you want to do. Throughout her presentation, she was very informative about the M.S.W program that I had recently stop by at the Idealist Grad Fair and show an example of her curriculum classes. I notice that she enjoyed talking about one of her class which is Homelessness: Inclir and Soc Con. For example, she talked about how social work is constantly changing and the theory of equity and equality. I found it interesting how ward 8 is the most poverty

What do trends indicate about the future of Black Rural Churches? (Chapter 5) Trends indicate this about the future of Black Rural Churches. It has gradually but noticeable reverse migration among black people to the South and the sunshine states of the Southwest. The primary reasons are the search for jobs and the continued industrialization of the South. Extended family ties provide another motivation to move. Most black people in the North have relatives in southern states, and many of them still consider the south as home. However, the reverse migration will not match the previous out-migrations, it will most likely increase the black population base of the South and provide a potential constituency for some rural churches. Finally, the growing class split in the black community are increasing (Lincoln, C. Eric, and Lawrence H. Mamiya

The focus of this research paper is to examine the religious beliefs of the Amish communities. From their humble beginnings of migration into the United States from Europe, to their present day living arrangements, they have been and will continue to be a prosperous community. By shunning modern conveniences and relying only on what nature has provided, society has referred to them as the “Plain People.” Being far from ordinary in their dress and way of life separates this community from that of the modern world. They have managed to integrate into modern life while holding on to their cultural values. It is with continued commitment from its members that this community will continue to thrive. I often drive to the

The topic I chose for this paper was how do the Amish carry forward ideas of the Radical Reformation? I chose this because Amish communities are seen in a lot around Iowa and they are not “normal” in the eyes of other people living. Most people don’t understand why they live the way they do or what they even do with their lives. I find it quite interesting to research the Amish people and learn more about them instead of always wondering about them. This paper is going to explain how the Amish kept the Radical Reformation going and what it means to them in every way possible. My question is how do the Amish today compare to the Amish at the start of the Radical Reformation and what changes have happened since they moved to North America.

In reading Warren’s Great Change in American Communities, the clear message was that there are many changes in the past few decades that are overall affecting the structure of the rural community, but also how it functions as a whole. In addition, we have moved from decisions being made on a local community level, to being made by those outside of the community. I think the largest and most important change that came to rural America was the division of labor. What Warren points out is we go from a community based on categorical groups of people that are overall the same kind of people, to that of corporate groups. It is this, Warren says, that causes individuals to lose a sense of belonging in their community because they begin to not know

Scout and Jeremy “Jem” Finch start out as a young, pesky, childish brother and sister, although being motherless, relying on their coherent father, Atticus, who works as a lawyer. Although, Jem’s behaviour changes towards his younger sister, due to events that occur in Maycomb, it’s for the better as he reveals his more vulnerable side to Scout. This shapes his character as he outgrows his childish relationship, and becomes closer with Scout. You can judge from this this showcase of information that they get closer by the end of chapter eight.

The Amish and the State is wrote with the intent to identify the cultural values and social organizations of the Amish order along with how the traditional values of the Amish counteracted with the modernity of the state. This book covers the most prominent aspects of the Amish order dating all the way back to their very existence during the Radical Reformation in the sixteenth century. It entitles one to see and feel the persecution the Amish order has faced since 1525. Donald Kraybill believes that the Amish order, even though some individuals view their religious practices as being extremely impractical, is a major attribute toward the freedom

Emotional intelligence or EQ is as important as intellectual intelligence because it helps a person understand themselves emotionally. An emotionally intelligent person can control how they deal with stress, which, consequently helps to become successful in several areas of life, such as work, relationships, and career. EQ helps you become aware of yourself mentally and to understand others socially. It impacts all of your life daily, from getting things done to helping friends and family or yourself emotionally. It also helps with being able to understand others and manipulate them for your gain, to get their trust and friendship to form healthy relationships.

Growing up in a disadvantaged part of Washington, D.C. during the 90’s wasn’t always easy. At the time, D.C. was plagued by crime, violence, and poverty, and as a child/teen I often found myself confronted by these harsh realities. Now, as an adult, I actively seek out opportunities to work in underserved and disadvantaged communities because I understand how difficult life can be for those belonging to such communities. I have proudly served in a number of underserved and disadvantaged communities, including rural Guatemala and Flint, Michigan and it is my hope to continue to do

In this environment institutional transformations and creative expression are very likely to emerge. An example of a modern-day metropolis can be New York City or Chicago. In areas such as these, it is very likely to find high rates of crime for there is a higher population than their counterparts. The government does not usually give out all of funding to the cities compared to the county which explains their lack of funding of schools. “Students in these areas not only suffer from lack of resources at home, but their schools must also scrape by on the minimum.”

The effect of the revival of traditional rural beliefs during ca. 1979 to 1984 is notable to the peasant-workers. Even the rituals discontinued to be performed, the philosophy behind transformed into strings of consciousness and self-identification whose essence is firmly kept -- the inseparability of family and the safety-shelter nature of the rural land. When peasant-workers confront unfamiliar or alien treatments in the cities, their potent emotion of land, of hometown, and of family outbursts. Traditional practices faded, but the traces stayed. Urban environment does not make the peasant-workers secular; instead, it makes them more “religious” in terms of the returned sense of land affiliation. Economic incentives drive peasants

For Report 3, we introduced five principles to discuss the alignment of IT assets into business results and examine the Business Value of IT (BVoIT) by analyzing the IT investment’s payoff. In addition, relate relevant examples from our previous reports and how macro trends, the disruptive technology of Internet of Things (IoT), and business model innovation along with the Theory of the Business that apply to our digital strategy, “Enabling People to Enjoy Their Busy Lives by Living Smarter.” Moreover, reference our Big, Hairy, Audacious Goals (BHAGs), vivid stories, and vision statement as focal points toward the validation of our digital business. Last, summarize all three reports to conclude our learning and understanding of delivering business value through information theory and transitioning to a digital enterprise by studying the direction phase of the Digital Strategy Direction, Digital Strategy Execution, and Leadership Intensity model.

1000, Wood’s description of the peasants was well done; the reader will get as accurate a picture of the peasants and their life style. Also, the role of the church is clear and its function in making life a little bit easier to live. Religion meant a lot in the middle ages, especially Christianity. Their devotion to this religion helped

Though I have known for a few months the basic path I have wanted to take regarding my career, Political Science, I hadn’t focused the general study down enough to be helpful enough to find a career path. After this course, I realized that I had a passion for design and international relations. Using these two factors, I was able to narrow down my major so that it would have an emphasis on international relations, with an urban planning minor. With this combination of knowledge, I am able to focus on developing communities in an international sense, along with being able to focus on developing communities nationally or even
