1.    I think that this course does give students a better understanding of what a Bible scholar does. I will not lie I had my stereotypes about what a biblical scholar was like. I thought that they would be boring and kind of dull but Dr. Homan is not like that at all. He is [...]

I chose to write to Tyra Bamks Dana “Queen Latifah” Owens Oprah and also Monique the comedian. All these women are successful black women who exemplify elegance. Many of them have beaten the odds and they show positive images of women. They have a lot of pull in the media and can show girls that [...]

Why do most Christians in history believe that the world will end in their lifetimes?
I remember in 1999 when the rumor was out that when the clocks hit twelve on January 1, 2000 all the computers were going to stop and that the world was going to go into a period of extreme chaos. This [...]

Respond to comments on your project.
I just want to thank everyone for their comments and suggestions on my project. I really liked the one from Andrew who said I should make a myspace or Facebook page. I really had not considered that before. It would get a lot of participation probably but I do think [...]

How do the biblical prophets relate to your project?
 I think that the biblical prophets relate to my [...]

People of modern day society never had to live without the ability of being able to write things down. For the most part, in today’s society, everyone knows how to read and write. This was not always the case, however. In earlier times, around the fourth millennium BCE, the ability to write was only held [...]

Blog exactly what you have done to improve the world regarding your project.
In the end, my project was not all that I hoped it would be. I wanted to change the world or at least have a big impact on a lot of people but I set the bar just a smidgen too high. [...]

Blog about how your project is coming along. Post at least one picture related to the implementation of your project.
I think my project is coming right along. Some things have finally decided to work out for me. In the future, I think that I am not going to try to reinvent the wheel but I [...]

This week focus on how the implementation of your project is proceeding.
It has been a trying time. It seems like every time I try to do something different, I hit a road block. Let us just say that changing the world is hard. My website fell through. Dr. Homan did not think that people would [...]

This section of statistics and facts that were found while doing research include facts that were originally from many different sources but were compiled together by the creators of the Love Your Body Campaign. The creators are the National Organization for Women (NOW) Foundation which is a campaign of the Women’s Health Project.
All of the [...]

When I first wrote about my project, I had dreams of it becoming this great and magnificent thing. I was going to make a web page and then the whole world was going to be enlightened, but reality set in. While talking to Dr. Homan, I was knocked off my high horse. He brought up [...]

 
 
My project is based on the body image that the media portrays that all women should have. I do not agree with that image because, not all women are the same. It is unheard of for a person to be stick thin. Do not get me wrong there are a lot of skinny people in [...]

Genesis and the Emuna Elish are both examples of Creation Stories. A creation story is a story where a civilization tells how they think they have come to be. The Emuna Elish is a creation story by the Babylonians and Genesis is a [...]

I really don’t know where to begin because there are so many problems that exist in today’s society. Everyday, the media seems to throw the big problems that we face as Americans in our face. Sometimes it seems that they glorify the problems and hide the good things that we do as Americans. It is [...]

The problem I chose to address was how the media portrays the everyday woman. I decided to team up with my fellow classmate, Melissa DeLoach, to bring to Xavier a website based on correcting this issue. We will use the power of the worldwide web to try to empower the way women see themselves. We [...]

I never had to experience a hurricane or the things that come with until I moved to New Orleans. Of course, I knew what I was getting myself into when I came here but I hoped I would not have to ever evacuate. I live in the very flat and very landlocked city of Indianapolis, [...]
