The "Good Will" Religions : A Comparative Study Of Hinduism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity And Islam, Mary Ellen Fieseler

Honors Capstones

Religion had its inception in man's ignorance and fear of the world around him. It was a path toward satisfying man's quest for the signifance of life. As this path was pursued, the meaning and value humans ascribed to the world evolved, forming the various religions of the world. During the greatest of all religious eras, 800 to 500 BCE, India, China, Persia and Israel all imparted into human thought and practice a new god-concept, a fundamental conception of benevolent good will, and accompanying this new god-concept were changes in the religious rules that determined human conduct.

The Effect Of Agents On Hiv1-Ltr, Anthony Mullins

Honors Capstones

The goal of these experiments is to determine the relative effects of various agents (Ptpt dinucleotide, lutein, and vitamin C) on the activity of long terminal repeat (LTR) in HIV 1 infected cells (HIV LTR) in both control and UV exposed cells. It is known that the LTR is important in transcription and therefore viral replication.

Recreation Programming At Resorts: Why?, John Crossley

Visions in Leisure and Business

Recreation programming is becoming an important part of the resort industry. Recreation programs can help resort differentiate their product from competitors and in the process gain loyal repeat customers and/or customers eager to recommend the resort to friends. Resort recreation programs may be offered as the primary feature of the resort, as a supporting amenity, or as a revenue-generating amenity, although these categories are not mutually exclusive. Recreation may also be provided through a "facilitating" approach that helps the guests gain the benefits they seek, even though the resort does not directly provide the service.

Doing Theology In The City, Paul Fitzgerald

Special Topics, General

The task of theology is often a lonely endeavor. The hush of the library or the archives, the still of the chapel, and the quiet discipline of one's desk are places where theological research and writing unfold, most often in solitary concentration. The classroom on the protected college campus or seminary, the academic conference in large hotels, and even the cherished conversation in the homes of colleagues do open the theologian to other minds and hearts so that theories and insights may be tested in dialogue. However, these exchanges are often located in affluent social contexts which cannot reveal the …

In order to engage in this kind of learning, teachers together with students must work to establish quality partnerships and collaboration with community organizations …

Service Learning: Making The Camp Connection, Joel S. Garavaglia-Maiorano, Joel Pile

School K-12

Service learning, today's buzzword for education through service, is as diverse as are camp programs in our nation. From providing environmental education to tutoring to feeding the homeless, it is both a method and a philosophy. Programming for service opportunities in today's camps offers a variety of options, from short-term experiences to a fully integrated curriculum that links action and reflection. Service learning, therefore, may be best understood as a method to encourage campers to act, reflect, develop, and learn through community-organized service that connects the needs of a community with the knowledge and experience of campers.
