The purpose of this activity is to help you develop your library research skills, so you can locate primary sources, books, and journal articles related to your Week 5 Comparative Human Experience final project. You are required to find two sources that you can use for the final project. Your first source must be a primary source and your second source must be a scholarly, secondary source. (Tip! Your primary source should be one of the works of history, literature, philosophy, theology, art, architecture, or music that expresses your chosen theme in one of the societies you will discuss in the final project). Remember to download your sources, if possible, or save the reference somewhere safe as you will be using these sources again as a part of your Final Project Preparation assignment this week. Do not select tertiary sources such as encyclopedia articles for this exercise, as they do not meet the research requirements for the final project.
This activity will also help you focus on analyzing sources by writing annotations. What is an annotation? An annotation is a brief written commentary on a scholarly book, chapter, journal article, or primary source that summarizes its central points and main argument. In the case of primary sources, you will identify key elements of the source that will help you analyze its significance.

In this assignment, you will document, track and manage the project’s risks and utilization of human resources. The risk management will be accomplished through the use of a Risk Register chart. Using the Risk Register is a way to identify, document, and manage all of the risks associated with a project. The chart details provide an easy way to scan for level of risk, status, potential responses, who is responsible for the risk in addition to the project manager, or other details needed to manage the risk. This is a great way to keep everyone informed when this document is presented at the weekly team meetings and in communication with all stakeholders. Another key tool is called the RACI chart which helps you identify who is responsible, accountable, consulted, or informed for each major project task. The RACI (responsible, accountable, consulted, informed) chart will help manage and track utilization of human resources; this facilitates monitoring and control as well as provides one means of communication. It documents and makes it clear who is responsible for bringing the task to completion, on time, on budget. For this assignment, do the following: Complete the Risk Register and RACI documents for your project. All project risks must be identified and added to your risk register following the example. The RACI chart must provide the responsibility, accountability, consulted, or informed status for each member of the team for all major project tasks following the RACI example.

Writing Tips:
Ensure that you plan your essay before you begin writing. You may end up deviating from the plan, but it is good to go in with a sense of direction.
Determine what the essay question is asking you. What are the key terms and concepts being used? What is the tension you are exploring? What are the different sides of the debate? What material from the course should be used to answer the question?
What is your answer to the question? Your answer is the key to a successful essay. You have to take a stand and make an argument! Identify what your position is before you start writing. Once you begin writing, make sure that each of your paragraphs contributes to clarifying or defending your position.
Construct a good introductory paragraph. You can wait until you have finished the rest of the paper to write the introduction. It must include a clear thesis statement that explicitly sets out your position. The reader should be able to quickly and easily identify what your essay is trying to prove. Following your thesis statement, provide a brief description of how your essay will argue for the position you are taking.
After the introduction, you need a section where you define the key terms and concepts that you will be employing in your essay. Are there different ways of defining the terms or understanding the concepts that you reject? If so, specify how your understanding diverges from other prominent views.
Following the introduction and the section where you define your terms, describe what is at stake in the debate and briefly lay out the arguments you will be examining. This descriptive portion of your essay should make up no more than one third of the entire length of the paper.
The remaining two thirds of the paper should develop and defend your argument (or thesis). Make sure that each paragraph is crucial to advancing your point and that it links to the paragraphs before and after it. You should also signpost along the way to remind the reader of what your argument is.
You will need to support your arguments by drawing on the relevant thinkers and theories from the course. You should also use examples to illustrate your points. You can use examples from texts, from real life, and from your own mind (e.g. thought experiments).
Make sure that you also consider the other side(s) of the debate. Raising and then arguing against counter-examples is an excellent way to demonstrate a breadth of knowledge, and strengthen your own position.
Finish with a strong conclusion that reiterates your thesis and outlines how you have gone about arguing for it.
The term “human relations” covers all types of interactions among people – their conflicts, cooperative efforts, and group relationships. It is the study of why our beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors sometimes cause relationship problems in our personal lives and in work-related situations. The study of human relations emphasized the analysis of human behavior, prevention strategies, resolution of behavior problems, and self-development.
Knowledge of human relations can help one manage human interactions and relationships. Human relations are incredibly important in the healthcare industry as they can help put clients and patients at ease, calm stressful situations, and resolve conflict.

Human immunodifiency virus also known as HIV is a virus that attacks the body’s immune system. HIV came to be from chimpanzees in Central Africa. The chimpanzee version of the virus is called simian immunodeficiency virus or SIV. (cdc.gov 2021) It is believed that it was passed to humans as they were being hunted and transmitted to humans when they ate the meat and came into contact with their infected blood. According to studies it is believed that it was passed to humans as far back as the late 1800’s. The virus has been in the United States since at least the 1970’s. (cdc.gov 2021). Since some peple may be infected and not know it, it is best to get tested so you know for sure. Some possible symptoms include: muscle aches, fever, rash, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, sore throat and chills. The good news for those infected with HIV is that due to modern treatments, if the disease it caught early enough, medicines can keep the virus from progressing or at the very least, slow it down. Due to the advancements in treatment, progressing to stage 3 is less common today than it was in the beginning. (cdc.gov 2021)
HIV is only transmissable through vaginal or anal sex, sharing needles or syringes or other drug equipment. In the beginning, since the virus was so deadly, people were scared that you could catch HIV like a cold or from just standing next to someone with it. Today, those notions have long been disproven. We now know that you cannot get HIV through touching or sweat, you can’t get it from insects, or by a toilet seat, and especially, not through the air. (cdc.gov 2021)
Treatment for HIV is antiretroviral therapy. There is no cure for HIV but it can be controlled with the proper treatment. Of course, there may be some side effects in some people, but they definitely do not outweigh the risk of the virus progressing and turning into AIDS (Acquired immunodificiency syndrome.) AIDS is diagnosed when HIV has reached the third stage and the immune system is so badly damaged that it has an increased number of severe illness which are known as opportunistic infections. (cdc.gov 2021). In the past, AIDS would be considered an imminent death sentence, however, studies have shown that people are living a few more years after the AIDS diagnosis. There was a study done showing that by June of 2016, 27.2% of subjects from a particular study had progressed to AIDS and 25.2% of those patients died. The survival rate was 88% at one year, 85% at two years, 77% at five years and 67% at ten years. (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov 2019). Survival rates are continuing to increase as people get treatment earlier (before it reaches the AIDS disgnosis) and maintain their treatments and a healthy preventative lifestyle

BIBLICAL META NARRATIVE ESSAY ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS OVERVIEW The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate your understanding of the unified and coherent nature of the Bible and the theological doctrines. One way to view Scripture is through the four major plot movements of Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration. Considering biblical doctrines through these four plot movements can aid in our understanding of humanity and humanity’s relationship to God.After viewing the presentation, Understanding Biblical Narrative, and completing your textbook readings, you will be equipped to demonstrate the coherence of Scripture and share some of the implications of the unified message of the Bible. INSTRUCTIONS For this assignment, you must write an 800 – 1,000-word essay addressing the following prompt: The unity of the Bible is demonstrated through the Divine inspiration of the Holy Spirit on the human authors of Scripture. The study of theology uncovers and articulates the unity of all the biblical texts when they are taken together. From the list of approved doctrines to address, demonstrate the unified nature of the Bible by tracing that doctrine through the four major plot developments of Scripture. For example, The Bible describes God as love in 1 John 4:8. The way to interpret “God is love” is to look at the biblical story that reveals God’s character through His actions. When looking at the idea of love through the four major plot movements in Scripture we see God’s love demonstrated in His creation of humanity, His patience with humanity after the fall, and His sacrificial death to redeem humanity from the fall, and His restorative work through preparation of the heavenly home . (This example would be substantiated and demonstrated with biblical support, and be elaborated on within the essay.)Assignment Requirements:1. Discuss the major movement of the biblical narrative/story, its main character, and its implications for understanding the unity of the biblical books.2. Choose two topics from the topic list at the bottom of this document (Page 2) that are presented in Biblical doctrine with attention on how these theological topics unfold through the through the four major plot movements of Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration.3. Using your theological examples, share the implications that these examples provide humanity’s relationship to God.4. Incorporate at least 2 theological references in your paper using course resources.5. Incorporate at least 2 relevant biblical references.6. Write a clear introductory paragraph including the thesis statement. A summative concluding paragraph must also be included
