What Problem Does Plaskow Identify and What Is Her Solution Discussion

Description

 can find below two examples of a good discussion post and a bad one.

you can find the reading attached.

“Good” Discussion Board Post example:

In the Harvard Religious Literacy Project’s “Our Method,” Diane Moore begins by distinguishing two approaches to the study of religion, religion as “devotional expression” which makes normative claims about which religious beliefs and practices are “orthodox” and the “nonsectarian study of religion” which is more descriptive in nature and recognizes the legitimacy of diverse religious expressions (1). Adopting this latter approach, Moore claims that three further claims about religious traditions emerge: 1) that religious traditions are internally diverse, meaning that there are differences “within sects or expressions because religious communities function in different social/political contexts” (2); 2) that religious traditions evolve and change over time, and as such, “are constantly interpreted and reinterpreted by believers” (2); and 3) that religious traditions are embedded in cultures, and “just as religion cannot be understood in isolation from its cultural (including political) contexts, it is impossible to understand culture without considering its religious dimensions” (3).

“Bad” Discussion Board Post example:

Our reading talks about some ways we should think about religion such as the devotional expression and the nonsectarian study of religion it also mentions three parts of the nonsectarian study of religion approach such as internal diversity, how religions evolve and change, and how religions are culturally embedded.

Santa Cruz Aspirating Vomitus Discussion

Description

Sammy, age 3 years, ate his dinner and then said his tummy hurt. His mother suggested he lie down in the adjacent room while his parents finished dinner. A few minutes later, they heard Sammy vomiting. His mother rushed in to lift Sammy up. When vomiting ceased, they noticed Sammy continued to cough and seemed to be choking. He was struggling to breathe and a wheezing sound was obvious. It appeared that he had aspirated some vomitus. His parents drove him to a nearby hospital for examination.

Discussion Questions

  1. Discuss the specific effects of aspirating vomitus on Sammy, including the probable effects on his bronchi and lungs. Why might one lung be affected more than the other?
  2. Discuss the pathophysiologic changes causing the signs and symptoms and any tests required to clarify the effects on Sammy.
  3. Suggest some reasons for Sammy’s difficulty breathing and wheezing.
  4. Discuss the potential complications of aspiration of vomitus.

Santa Cruz Appendicitis Case Study

Description

Ms. F, 48 years old, has been admitted to the hospital with severe abdominal pain. Earlier that day she had generalized abdominal pain, followed by a severe pain in the lower right quadrant of her abdomen, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. That evening she was feeling slightly improved and the pain seemed to subside somewhat. Later that night, severe, steady abdominal pain developed, with vomiting. A friend took her to the hospital, where examination demonstrated lower right quadrant tenderness and mild abdominal rigidity. Fever and leukocytosis indicated infection. A diagnosis of acute appendicitis, with possible perforation, was indicated, with immediate surgery.

Discussion Questions

  1. Why is the sequence of pain (location and type of pain) significant in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis? Describe the rational for each type of pain. Does this sequence confirm the diagnosis?
  2. Using the pathophysiology, describe the reason for:
    1. the pain subsiding and then recurring
    2. leukocytosis and fever
    3. abdominal rigidity
  3. Discuss the complications that might arise from rupture of the appendix.

Gods Upside Down Ways Discussion Questions

Getting Started

To the average person, Jesus’ words in the beatitudes sound like crazy talk. Blessed or happy are the poor, the sad, the meek, the persecuted and those who always do things right? Really? Happy are those that have bad things said about them, who make peace, are pure and show mercy to people who hurt them? Are you kidding me? Doesn’t Jesus know that’s not how the world works? If you want to succeed, you have to grab life by the horns, take what you want, protest, be assertive, and demand your rights. You can’t let others stand in your way or treat you like that. You need to show them you are strong and in control. Prestige, power, and success are what make people happy.

Jesus’ words are hard to swallow because they are not based on the normal human ways of relating or getting things done. They are and always will be countercultural, no matter your background or where you are from. His instructions assume that God, not people, is in charge and responsible for blessings. His principles tell us that happiness and blessedness come from trusting more in Him and His ways than in people and success. His guidance reminds us that there are greater and more lasting rewards that are worth waiting for, even ones beyond those we find here on earth. When we see life through God’s eyes and the lenses of His purposes and design, everything changes. The veil is lifted and we no longer see solutions to life’s problems from the view of the world or the flesh, but through the eyes of the Spirit.

From the world’s point of view, that means living life upside down. It means loving people (like those who persecute us) when others would hate and hating other things (unrighteous things that the world may love) in order to serve God. Living life upside down means serving instead of seeking to dominate, giving more than taking, living in truth instead of lies and pretense, pursuing purity instead of our own pleasure, faith instead of doubt, suffering love instead of self-protection, self-denial instead of self-promotion or self-gratification, and self-sacrifice instead of self-centeredness. It is only by believing that God is good, powerful, and ultimately just that we can dare to live this way and wait for the results. And when results do come, whether in God’s time here on earth or later in His presence, we believe it will be worth the wait and better than anything we can have on our own.

As social workers, we may be tempted to focus on acting in our own strength and wisdom to try and bring about change in people or to combat injustice. But we should always proceed with prayerful caution. Often times as Isaiah reminds us, God’s thoughts and ways are not our ways. His approach is often different than ours. Trusting in God and living life upside down (which is really right side up in the Kingdom of God) is the way to greater joy and the blessings of God both for us and those we serve. We should remember great men of recent days like Martin Luther King, Jr., who by trusting in God impacted great social change through countercultural means of non-violence and a message of consistent truth and love for his enemies as an example of how God’s foolish ways are greater than human strength.
