Instructions

Thread

The purpose of the Discussions is to examine the ethical values displayed in various organizations and view such in light of Scripture, the course text, and scholarly research. For each Discussion thread, write a 400–500-word thread that presents an analysis of the readings in Hill’s text. Your thread will not summarize the readings; instead, this will analyze the readings in light of Biblical truths and outside research. Follow the specifics in each discussion in addition to the instructions here. 

Support your assertions with at least 3 scholarly resources that have been published within the last 3 years, in addition to, the course text, and Scripture from the New International Version or King James Version of the Bible. Use subheadings that are in APA (don’t put the questions).  Subheadings should align with that discussion’s requirements.  Have in text citations and a reference page at the end.  Paragraphs should be well-developed (at least 5 sentences).  Avoid using the word “it ‘because “it” is vague.  Avoid direct quotes unless they are famous quotes such as from the Bible.  Have an introduction and conclusion.

Paraphrase your work.  Paraphrasing means to read the material until you know what you’ve read.  Then put the reading aside and write about this.  Still reference paraphrased work.  Your thread must be in current APA format and must include a reference list. Please copy and paste your thread into the Discussion. No title page or abstract are needed. 

Replies

Select at least 2 other classmate’s threads and post a reply that advances the conversation. Your replies must clearly link to the original author’s post, contribute new information, and be supported by the scholarly resources. Submit replies of at least 200 words each to at least 2 other classmate’s threads. Each reply must include a minimum of 2 scholarly resources (in addition to the Bible and Text) and demonstrate a substantive discussion that meets grading rubric specifications. Compare and contrast what you wrote in your main response to what each student wrote in the main response.  Please copy and paste your thread into the Discussion. No title page or abstract is needed.
