HLT 302 Week 7 Assignment (CLC): Suffering And Evil Presentation

Create a 5-7 slide presentation with speaker notes that focuses on views of evil and suffering from a religion other than Christianity. Your instructor will assign a religion to each group.

Permalink: https://collepals.com/hlt-302-week-7-assignments-1-and-2/

After researching information on your assigned religion, address the following:

1. Describe the view of suffering (source and cause of suffering and solution).
2. Explain grieving process.
3. Identify approaches to dealing with grief (solution to deal with suffering).

Include a comparison of assigned religion to Christianity. How does your assigned religion differ from Christianity?

Support your position by referencing at least three to five academic resources (preferably from the GCU Library) in addition to the Bible and the textbook. Incorporate the research into your writing in an appropriate, scholarly manner.

Select one team member to post the presentation to the “Suffering and Evil” thread in the Main Forum. Respond to at least one other presentation.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

HLT 302 Week 7 Assignment: Stages Of Grief Paper

Write a 750-1,000 word paper analyzing Woterstorff’s reflections in Lament For a Son. In addition, address Kubler-Ross’ five stages of grief, as they are expressed throughout Lament for a Son, and respond to the following questions:

1. How does Wolterstorff find joy after his loss?
2. What is the meaning and significance of death in light of the Christian narrative?
3. How does the hope of the resurrection play a role in comforting Wolterstorff?

Include three sources including the textbooks, bible and other reliable/academic sources.

Introduction

Grief is the natural response to loss, whether it be a death in your family or an unexpected job loss. The process of grieving can be painful and confusing, but there are many ways to cope with this difficult time. Therapists have identified 5 stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining and depression as well as acceptance. Each stage involves different emotions but also has its own set of coping strategies that can help you move forward with your life again:

Therapists have identified 5 stages of grief.

Grief is a natural response to loss. Everyone experiences grief in their own way and in the order that works best for them. The 5 stages of grief are denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Each stage is a healthy response to loss; it can help you move through your emotions towards acceptance of what has happened to you or those around you.

Denial: This is when we try to convince ourselves that things will be okay even though they aren’t anymore or haven’t been since they were taken away from us (such as losing someone). Denial can be dangerous if it becomes an unhealthy way of coping with grief because it prevents us from dealing with reality as it exists right now rather than looking ahead at what could be done differently next time around so no one else has anything bad happen again!

The 5 stages are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.

The 5 stages of grief are denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Each stage is an important part of the healing process and not linear like a timeline. It can be helpful to think about each stage as having a different purpose:

• Denial – This is your first instinct when you realize you’ve lost someone close to you. You may say things like “I don’t believe it,” or “I can’t believe this happened.” But in time your denial will fade away as your reality sets in and you face up to what has happened over time.

• Anger – Anger comes after denial because it’s easier said than done; we’re all human beings with emotions on our side so sometimes we take out our anger where ever possible! For example if someone cuts us off in traffic then there would be no need for us  to get angry about nothing except maybe an accident caused by them crashing into another car! However if someone cuts us off because they’re texting while driving then maybe now would be a good time for some serious road rage?

Each stage is a natural response to loss.

Each stage is a natural response to loss. They are not linear and can overlap, but they’re all part of the grieving process. The stages are not a sign of weakness or lack of faith; they’re just an indication that you’re going through grief at all.

The first stage is denial: You wish it never happened, so you don’t see it or think about it at all. You may be able to hide your feelings from others by acting normal or even pretending that nothing happened (or never did). Denial lasts for varying lengths of time depending on how strong your denial was before accepting reality hit home with you—but once this happens, there’s no turning back!

The second stage involves anger over losing someone important in life; this could range from mild irritation over minor things like forgetting an anniversary date or being left out on plans because they weren’t invited somewhere specific because someone else had decided against being invited themselves too late last minute due to other commitments etcetera…

Grieving is not a sign of weakness or a lack of faith.

Grieving is not a sign of weakness or a lack of faith. It’s important to remember that grief is a normal response to loss, and it can be healthy as well as spiritual.

Grief is an emotion that we all experience when someone close dies, whether it’s an animal or human loved one like your mother or father who passed away recently in your family because they had cancer for over ten years before their death last month at age 70 after living with this debilitating illness for most of his life; it could also have been someone from high school who died from an accident before graduating from college – whatever the case may be…

Since grief affects everyone differently depending on their situation (i.,e., what kind of relationship did they have with said person), how much time has passed since their passing (if any) etcetera – however some people may find themselves experiencing these feelings more intensely than others do depending upon how strong their bond was with said person(s).

Grief-stricken people may feel confused, angry and anxious.

Grief is a normal and natural process, but it can be difficult to understand. People who are grieving may feel confused, angry or anxious. These feelings are not uncommon during this time of loss and they’re part of the grieving process. If you are experiencing these feelings, it is important to talk about them with someone who can listen without judgment or advice on how to deal with them. You may also want professional help if your grief-stricken state persists for an extended period of time (usually after six months).

Grief affects the body as well as the mind and emotions.

Grief can affect the body as well as the mind and emotions. Physical symptoms such as headaches, stomach aches, fatigue and sleeplessness may occur in some people. Others may experience loss of appetite or interest in food and sex; others may become irritable or withdrawn from loved ones. In some cases, grief can lead to hypersensitivity to sounds or smells; this symptom is called ‘grief blindness’ because it makes it difficult for you to notice anything that might trigger feelings of sadness at present.

There is no right or wrong way to grieve.

Grief is a very personal process that each person will experience in their own way. It’s important to recognize that grief is not a one-size-fits-all approach, and it’s not helpful to tell someone how they should be grieving.

It’s also important to respect the grieving person’s process because they may need some time before they are ready to talk about their loss or experience any other emotions related to it (such as anger).

People who are grieving will likely experience a wide range of emotions at different times.

Grief is a normal response to loss. It can be triggered by many things, including the death of a loved one, divorce or separation from a partner, job loss or other major change in life circumstances.

Grief often comes in waves and may occur for several months after someone has died before it subsides completely. However, some people never experience any feelings related to grief after losing someone close to them (known as “intact”).

It’s important not to confuse grief with depression or other mental health conditions that require professional treatment like therapy or medication grief isn’t an illness per se but can feel like one due to its intensity and long-term nature; however it doesn’t need treatment if you’re managing your symptoms effectively through self-care measures such as talking about what happened with friends who care about you deeply enough not only understand but also empathize with how difficult these losses sometimes cause people who’ve lost loved ones.”

You cannot force anyone to move on from their grief.

Grief is a personal experience and everyone deals with it differently. Some people may need more time than others to come to terms with their loss, or some may adjust quickly. The best thing you can do for yourself is accept that you will never really know if someone has gotten over their grief because there are so many different factors involved in each person’s process.

It helps to know that there is no one “correct” way to grieve

The first step to dealing with grief is to understand that there is no “right” or “wrong” way to grieve. Grieving will happen in its own way, at its own pace and in its own way. There are many different types of responses people have when they experience loss. Some people may need time alone, others might want support from friends and family members and still others may seek professional help from a therapist or counselor who can help them get through their pain by helping them talk about their feelings openly and honestly.

The most important thing you can do during this time? Take care of yourself!

Conclusion

It’s important to remember that grief is a natural and common response to loss. The best thing you can do is be there for your loved one, listen without judgment, and try not to make things worse by pushing them towards their own coping mechanisms. If someone doesn’t want to talk about their feelings at all times then don’t pressure them into it!
