Getting Started

As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another, as good stewards of the manifold of God.

1 Peter 4:10

God as bestowed on each of us special and unique gifts that we as Christians are called to use to glorify Him and serve others. Throughout the Bible, there are many passage passages that refer to these special and diverse gifts given to us by the Holy Spirit. For example, I Corinthians 12:4–11 states:

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administration, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestations of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

When we use the special talents that God has given us to glorify Him, we are pleasing God. As Christians, we yearn to be and stay close to God and sometimes it is easy to take our gifts and talents for granted.

In Social Work, we are taught to look for and build on people’s strengths. We look for the unique and diverse strengths that our clients bring to the table and we use them to help our clients help themselves. However, sometimes we forget to reflect on our own strengths. What do we bring to the table? Consider what special gifts you have received from God and how you can use them to glorify Him. How will these unique gifts and talents make you a better social worker?

I’m working on a Writing question and need guidance to help me study.

Answer the following Questions:

1.) How do you balance your responsibilities as a member of multiple discourse communities? Do your discourse communities overlap or are they completely separate? How has becoming a member of the discourse community that is this class impacted your ability to participate in other discourse communities to which you belong? And, finally, do you see yourself as an emerging expert on your chosen social problem/issue? Why/why not?

2.) Select one of the video profiles at PBS Nova series, The Secret Life of Scientists and Engineers. Then, write briefly about how the scientist/engineer you’ve chosen bridges the gap between their two discourse communities.

Question #1:

Explain the ideas of Linguistic Relativity and Linguistic Determinism. Link them to Boas’ related ideas. Explain one example of how language does (or does not strictly) shape how we think. How locked in do you think we are in our thinking, based on our language?

—

Question #2:

Explain the idea of a Cultural Model. Explain the idea of a Speech Community. How are they similar? How are they different? Use an example of each from your own life – One cultural model AND one speech community that you participate in to demonstrate the definition of a model or community. What rules and expectations and norms are part of these models? What roles are there? How did you come to understand these roles, rules, norms, and expectations for the models?

This answer is best organized by a paragraph of definitions, and then a paragraph explaining your cultural model and a second paragraph explaining your speech community.

Question #3

Identify one of your speech communities. In a short paragraph explain the community, how you belong to it, and something about its focus and interests. Pick one speech domain from that community and identify words specific to that speech community. Construct an Ethnosemantic Model or Mental Map illustrating the vocabulary of this community. (draw a taxonomic tree of words, make word lists of “like” words, make a componential analysis table). Write a paragraph explaining your analysis and the words you are selecting.
