post is of three assignments
Build a Business
The balance of business and faith is a challenge. Not everything deemed good for society or the economy may be biblical, and not everything biblical is embraced by society.
Objectives
• Create a personal definition of a Christian business person. (1.1)
Theory and Context
Riley introduces the concept of building a business to change the world from a secular viewpoint. Green talks about changing the world as a Christian business person. Green’s commentary on Christian entrepreneurs may be helpful in evaluating Riley’s article and also in developing your Christian business person presentation due later in the course.

2: Ethnography Analysis
Order Description
Upon completion of 5 hours of ethnography observation, complete a 4-5 page analysis of what they studied. This is not a summary of what you observed; it is not designed for you to merely repeat what you already stated in your earlier fieldwork entries. Rather, this assignment is designed as a chance for you to analyze specific ideas or threads of information you have picked up along the way, focusing in on an aspect of your ethnography which you thought was most telling about the culture you covered. You should aim to have a strong introduction, thesis, body paragraphs defending your thesis, and a conclusion.
For a more succinct description of the assignment, think about it this way.
The purpose of this assignment to look back on your fieldwork experiences and analyze that work. Whereas the fieldworks were meant to be unbiased, objective observations on 5 different topics, this is where you come in with your (possibly) more subjective analysis bringing it all together. Your goal is to come up with some type of analysis of the culture you did your research about. Try to focus in on one theme or idea in particular that you can talk a lot about. Ideally, this analysis will draw on all of the work (all 5 fieldworks) you did, but it does not have to. Remember, you are not merely repeating what you talked about earlier. Rather, you are coming up with an original idea/conclusion building off all the work you’ve done this semester.
3: Macbeth is often cited as a famous example of what the American sociologist Robert Merton called a “self-fulfilling prophecy.” Discuss how the mechanism of the witches’ prophecy works in terms of its self-fulfillment.

Below you will find a break.down of the elements on which your paper will be graded.

• A conclu sion that reminds the reader of what is at stake in the argument and suggests an appropriate response
• Overall structure that emphasizes the most important evidence or analysis and does not belabor matters of little significance
3) Awareness of audience as demonstrated through the following:
• Appropriate tone and use of precise vocabulary
• Clear definitions of key or unfamiliar terms, convincing explanations of complex data or methods of analysis, appropriate efforts to justify analytical methods
