OMG!!! The last blog has finally arrived!!! Now let us discuss course goals and how well they were relayed this semester. Honestly I have learned a lot about biblical studies and how much it takes it to be a biblical scholar. I think that overall my class somewhat struggled with this part of the course [...]

Hello, my name is Melissa DeLoach. I am currently enrolled in Xavier University of Louisiana and I am a Psychology Pre-Med major with minors in both Biology and Chemistry. I am hoping to one day be a doctor and then later on become a [...]

There are quite a few Christians in history that believe that the world will end within our lifetimes. It is funny to answer this question because part of the problem most definitely stems from one of my world issues, the media. Often times the media portrays images that are then allowed to fester in the [...]

The comments that people left in regards to my theology project were very encouraging and made me realize that there are others who care about issues that need to be improved within our world. Thank you to: mwallace1, kateyjames, jivory1, leedatboy, nia, jle3, aminias, and missnay1. I realize that this project is something this is [...]

I am excited to say that our project has basically been completed. Dannielle and I went to William J. Fischer Elementary school and conducted an outstanding girls group with about 20 7th and 8th grade girls. The girls were super excited and eager to answer the many questions that we posed. We came to classroom [...]

Improving the world, in my opinion, takes a great deal of time and effort. I think that ultimately all of the projects that our Theology 1120 class came up with as a whole made the biggest world change. We each focused on various issues within our world and hopefully by carrying out these projects we [...]

I commented on 10 of my classmates blogs:
—there was some very impressive progress made in regards to their projects, but I am yearning to learn about others…

From the three world problems of media exaggeration, human trafficking, and poverty that I described thoroughly in my previous blog, I believe that the one related to self-esteem and media interpretation of what women should be is one that can surely be changed even on a small scale. In addition I chose to hone in [...]

A problem is defined as a situation, person, or matter that contains some perplexity and difficulty. Problems within the world are vast and constantly progressing. Though there are many problems that could be considered the biggest, but I believe that there are a few that could grow to become detrimental to society as a whole [...]

Implementation of my project has gotten off to a somewhat good start. I have determined that my project will have two components. The first component was to begin a weekly girls group at an elementary school and the second component is to try and conduct at least one forum style meeting with teenage girls in [...]

The media is a gateway to billions of people around the world and ultimately because of this many false images and stories may be shown in the course of a normal day. My project’s intention was the focus on media exaggeration and its negative influence on the self-esteem of many females around the world. It [...]

 
 
The above image is a good representation of what I plan to reiterate to the girls I work with during my project. My hope is that by the end of the program that we implement they can walk away feeling good about themselves and what they can accomplish. Living, laughing, and loving are some things that have [...]

The project is fun!!! I am working hard to keep the girls entertained and finalized the presentation.

The Enuma Elish is a Babylonian creation myth often compared and contrasted to the Genesis, the creation story found in the Bible. There are many differences between the two works that have been noted by many scholars. The Enuma Elish is [...]

After much thought and consideration my partner, Danielle Foster and I have decided that maybe a website is not the most effective way to get our message across quickly. Dr. Homan made a good point that people may not even go to our site and then the effectiveness of our project is little to none. [...]

For me there is not an interesting hurricane story to share. When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans I had no idea I would end up attending college at Xavier University of Louisiana. Though I have did not experience Hurricane Katrina, Gustav proved to be a scary experience in itself. I can only imagine what Hurricane [...]

After closely analyzing the three problems that I categorized as the biggest I chose to hone in on the one issue that would be closely related to my career goals in the field of medicine and philanthropy. Media exaggeration presents the potential for adolescents to be exposed to material that may lower one’s body image [...]
