Look for Human Trafficking forum.  5 points

 

HUMAN TRAFFICKING

 

Human sex trafficking is big business, organized crime and the third largest criminal enterprise in the world. The United States faces interstate trafficking of minors. The majority of the victims are runaways or thrown away youths who live on the streets.

 

Human sex trafficking begins through forced abduction, pressure, or through deceptive agreements between parents and traffickers. Once involved in prostitution, victims travel far from their homes and are isolated from all they know. Few children develop relationships with peers or adults other than the person victimizing them. Their lifestyle revolves around violence, forced drug use and constant threats.

 

The number of young children and teens living on the streets has become an epidemic in the United States. It is no longer an ‘international’ problem. Many victims are engaged in formal slavery and organized crime networks where they are trafficked nationally. The average age of a victim begins at 11. Girls and boys are affected.

 

Grounds of Grace, a not for profit ministry project, has pioneered one of the first innovative family home environments in our nation to offer extraordinary living, age 16 plus, through mentorship, education, living, relationship, vocational, work, and community programs to equip and successfully integrate each person of human trafficking into society for a life of hope and promise.

 

Representatives from Grounds of Grace will be presenting a frank and honest discussion about the growing issues of this horrific crime.  We encourage everyone to come out and learn what you can do to stop it.

 

WHEN:                  Wednesday, October 29, 6:00 p.m.

 

WHERE:                Thorsen Recital Hall,

 

Pizza will be  provided after the presentation.

Welcome back!

Welcome back to MacMurray College!

Exam II questions IOCC 201

1.        Apply the Quadriga Method to the following selection from the The Gospel of Mark:

 

4 Again he began to teach beside the sea. Such a very large crowd gathered around him that he got into a boat on the sea and sat there, while the whole crowd was beside the sea on the land. ² He began to teach them many things in parables, and in his teaching he said to them: ³ “Listen! A sower went out to sow. ⁴ And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path, and the birds came and ate it up. ⁵ Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil, and it sprang up quickly, since it had no depth of soil. ⁶ And when the sun rose, it was scorched; and since it had no root, it withered away. ⁷ Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no grain. ⁸ Other seed fell into good soil and brought forth grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirty and sixty and a hundredfold.” ⁹ And he said, “Let anyone with ears to hear listen!”

 

2.        List the Five Pillars of Islam.  Tell me one new thing you learned about Islam from reading The Koran.

 

3.       Read the following passage from the Bible:

 

² As it is written in the prophet Isaiah,^[c]

“See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you,^[d]
    who will prepare your way;
³ the voice of one crying out in the wilderness:
    ‘Prepare the way of the Lord,
    make his paths straight,’”

 

Now tell me what it means to a member of the Hebrew Faith.

What does it mean to a member of the Christian Faith?

 

4.        How does the Gospel of Mark begin?  Would a Muslim believe the opening narrative in Mark? Why or why not? How did the Gospel of Mark end when it was first written?  How does it end now?

 

5.        How does Covenant (contract) theology differ from Salvation by Faith.  Recall something you read from Paul (Romans) to help your argument.

 

6.       How does Salvation by Faith differ from Islamic submission?  Recall something you read from The Koran to help your argument.

IOCC 201 paper instructions Spring 2014

IOCC 201

Writing Assignment

 

You must write one (1)  paper in this course: it has three parts.

 

Your paper must be 5-7 pages long (1250-1750 words), and my “common sense” rule applies.

You must support your claims with quotes from appropriate text we read in the class.

 

Late papers (w/o proper documentation) will be reduced by 10% for each day that it is late.  Example:  Class starts at 9:00, after 9:00 +/- a few minutes it is late.  Each calendar day is a reduction.

 

Topic:

  Three parts to the paper:

1. This I believe
2. This I do not believe
3. This I want to do

 

Example:   

1.      This I believe:  I believe Aristotle was correct about actions done when drunk are a mixed action and people are blameworthy.

2.      I do not believe what Paul wrote about our obligation to the government is the best way for a person to act.

3.      I want to help women get the right to vote in the world after I read Augustine’s City of Man.

 

You may work with any assigned author (original source material) or text in our course.

 

N.B. You must work on a text we read, and if you work from the Bible it must be from a book of the Bible that was ASSIGNED IN CLASS.

 

Citations are ruled by your Rhetoric 102 course or similar course at your transfer college.  The CLE and the Library can help with this.  The WSRP is an outstanding model for writing this paper.  Use the skills acquired in RHET 101 to write a successful paper in IOCC.

 

Use gender neutral language.

 

Improper citations or lack of citations will be charged a 5 point penalty for each offense at a minimum and at a maximum will be considered plagiarism and I will file a formal complaint with the Academic Standards Committee and the Dean of the College.

 

Many, many, IOCC 201 students do not cite the Bible and suffer dearly from this oversight.  The Bible is a book that deserves equal respect among all the great works of the Western tradition.  Despite rumor, there is no rule that ancient text need not be cited.

 

You must use MLA style.

 

Your paper is due on the last day of class!

Your final draft must be handed in as a hardcopy.

You may have a copy of the General Education writing rubric.  It is in an excel format so please email me and I will send it to you!

IOCC 201

Greetings everyone!
We will meet in Putnam Hall Monday 2.10.14 as scheduled.  I have made an adjustment to the reading calendar so look at it on the blog and take note of changes; the snow day made it necessary for me to adjust the first exam date and shuffle some of the readings around.
Dr. Berg

We will not meet face-to-face today (Feb 4th), we will meet face-to-face Thursday.  We will flip-flop the class this week due to weather.  I will post an assignment on Moodle and we will chat about it and The Plague on Thursday.  My apologies for the late announcement but the weather turned very quickly today and by noon it was not fit to travel.
