Humor operates on many different levels and in many different ways in this book. Like Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God, this book explores the depth and purposes of humor and how it reveals things in a different light than tragedy alone. Of course, there is plenty of tragedy to go around for every single character in this book, but the book is not “tragic” or about tragic characters (rather tragedy seems to be the ying-yang of the humor that Cause residents and others use to describe/explain tragic life circumstances). 
Examine the nature of humor in the novel, in its different forms and what it reveals about human nature. Focus on one particular type of humor and give 3-4 examples of humor. Analyze those examples quoting/citing the book for supporting evidence.

Final Paper:
During the course of this class, we have discussed theories and how this relates to individuals committing crime. Theories are also used to explain how people make decisions and effect behavior. You will now complete an application paper applying one of the theories we discussed in class to a fictional criminal/villain. Tell me about the character, their motivations, and what makes them a villain? What theory applies to this character’s actions? Explain your choice. Using your theory, explain what could have been done to prevent them from becoming a villain? These are examples of the questions that need to be addressed in your paper.

For this professional strategies assignment, I want you to think about how AI can be used within the workplace. In order to do this, I want you to use ChatGPT to complete a task that you would normally do on the job (or would possibly need to do in a future position) – or get creative and ask it to do something that you are curious whether or not it would be able to do! Try modifying the response in different ways by asking the AI to change or build on what it previously created (or by giving it additional content to use). Then, answer the following questions in this discussion forum:
What task did you have the AI work on for you?
What were your overall thoughts about the response?
How do you think the response could have been improved? In other words, what were the limitations in the task you asked the AI to complete?
Do you think that having the AI complete this task is ethical or unethical? Why?
What tasks/situations might it be both helpful and ethical to use an AI for in your workplace? Is there anything else you would like to add to the discussion?

In order to interpret the New Testament correctly, we must keep the cultural background of each writing in mind. This week, you will complete a project on the cultural background of a New Testament book. Choose a writing from the list below:
The Gospel of Mark
The Gospel of Luke
Romans
1–2 Corinthians
Philippians
1–2 Thessalonians
1 Peter
1 John
Part 1: Use your textbook (it will be helpful to look at the chapter related to the text you choose) and resources on the CCU Library to create an outline that answers the following questions:
When in the development of the church was this book or letter written?
Do we know where this letter was written? If so, where?
Who was the first-century audience of this work? (In other words, who was this work written to or for?)
What is the background of this work?
What is the setting of this work?
For what purpose was this work written?
Part 2: In a one- to two-page paper, reflect on how these findings should influence how you read the chosen work. Consider these questions:
How does considering the intended audience impact how you read and interpret the text?
How does the dating of this writing and its place within the development of the church impact how you read it?
How does knowing the setting and purpose of this work impact how you read and interpret it?
Your completed project should have one page of outline and one to two pages of reflection. Submit your project as one complete document. Your work should include one to two sources outside of your textbook. You should only use academic sources for this project. Study Bibles, books, and peer-reviewed sources on libguides.ccu.edu are acceptable. Wikipedia, Got Questions, The Gospel Coalition, and other Internet sites are not academic in nature and should not be used for this assignment.

For this course, you completed your Environmental Scan in the form of a journal. Within.          human and social services agencies, environmental scans are often compiled as reports       that are a part of strategic assessment for planning purposes. They frequently report on the.   internal conditions within and external influences on an organization to determine how the   organization’s programs align with these conditions. They form another part of program       evaluation.
You began your journal in Week 3 and should have contributed to it regularly in the past 8 weeks. Use this last week to finalize your journal document and ensure that you have met all criteria on the Assignment rubric.

discuss laws specifically created to assist or support people with disabilities. Remember we have discussed both domestic and international laws so feel free to choose one or to choose one from each area. How has this law or law benefited people with disabilities? In what areas is law lacking? How is it enforced? If it is poorly enforced what can be done to ensure the law is being enforced to its full potential? 
Finally, what additional laws do you feel need to be created either domestically, globally or both to better support people with disabilities to ensure they are living independent and fulfilling lives?

Topic is on the Movie “O Brother where art thou”
I have attached the Outline format for you to use.
I will also be hiring you to write the paper as well.
When you write an analytical
paper, your paper focuses on developing a nuanced interpretation of a
particular work. Each paragraph should further that interpretation and must
relate directly back to your thesis statement from your introduction paragraph.
For this assignment, you
will develop an outline for your analytical paper. An outline is meant to help
you organize your points. Think of it as a skeleton that you will “flesh out”
when you write your paper. The more detail you include in the outline, the more
likely you will develop a strong paper. Further directions below:
·     
You need to use a formal outline format;
use the outline template provided below to help structure your outline.
·     
You must write full sentences for
the thesis statement, the topic/transition sentences, the passages, and the
restatement of thesis. Note: The
passages will be direct quotes from the text, so include quotation marks and a
citation in APA style.
·     
Background info, supporting points, interpretations,
and the “so what?” points should not be full sentences. Think of them as bullet
points that you will elaborate on when you write the first draft of your paper.
·      Do
not include any information from research yet. You first want to make sure that
you have enough evidence from the text itself to defend your thesis.
How to use the outline template: Erase each line before typing into the
space. You may add or delete supporting points or details. To add, simply place
your cursor at the end of a line, hit Enter, and you will see a new number or
letter appear. To delete, simply highlight the line and hit Delete or
Backspace.
