Description
Classical sociological theorist Max Weber (Vay-Ber) insisted that sociologists should be value-free – analyzing society for what it is, rather than what it should be. Weber applied his term, Verstehen when attempting to understand other people, meaning, he attempted to keep his own values out of the picture when attempting to assess them. How would practicing verstehen be helpful in your future education and employment?

Eastlake High School Major Religions of The Western World Questions Response

We saw and discussed how the Resurrection/ transformation motif presents itself in Doris Lessing's Through the Tunnel and Richard Wright's Big Boy Leaves Home. Authors constantly re-tell this motif because it plays out in real life. In literary terms, explain the resurrection motif, also known as the transformation motif. Explain how readers might benefit from constantly re-reading this motif?
Why might author Dante Alighieri place Brutus, Cassius, and Judas in the 9th circle and worst place in hell of his epic poem Inferno? In other words, what is the context and sub-text of this scene?
Name two high renaissance artists and an example of their work. Why are they significant to the Western world of art?
Several art forms including theater, literature, sculpture, philosophical myth etc. from centuries ago and tried to apply those art forms to not only the artists lives, but our modern lives as well. We know that art imitates life, in that we take pictures of what we see, we erect sculptures of famous living people etc. But in what ways does life imitate art? (example: someone who names their child after a literary or movie character) There is a great debate on weather art imitates life, or if life imitates art. What do you think? Explain with examples
Why are we still re-telling Shakespeare's stories? We saw how modern re-telling of Shakespearean plays sometimes change for their specific audiences, like The Lion King as a re-telling of Hamlet for kids has a different ending to suit its audience. Consider the movie "O," the modern re-telling of Shakespeare's Othello, that follows Shakespeare's plot-line exactly, with the same Shakespearean tragic ending. The movie endured some struggles and the release date had to be pushed back because of its content, but eventually opened to a mixed review from American Audiences in 2001. In your opinion,in light of American history, does the story-line of Shakespeare's Othello as is "work" for modern American audiences? Would you have made changes to the characters and/or plot, or are people being too sensitive?
WHETHER IT IS BETTER TO BE LOVED THAN FEARED“[We now consider] the question whether it is better to be loved rather than feared, or feared rather than loved. It might perhaps be answered that we should wish to be both; but since love and fear can hardly exist together, if we must choose between them, it is far safer to be feared than loved. For of men it may generally be affirmed that they are thankless, fickle, false, studious to avoid danger, greedy of gain, devoted to you while you are able to confer benefits upon them, and ready, as I said before, while danger is distant, to shed their blood, and sacrifice their property, their lives, and their children for you; but in the hour of need they turn against you. The Prince, therefore, who without otherwise securing himself builds wholly on their professions is undone. For the friendships which we buy with a price, and do not gain by greatness and nobility of character, though they be fairly earned are not made good, but fail us when we have occasion to use them.Moreover, men are less careful how they offend him who makes himself loved than him who makes himself feared. For love is held by the tie of obligation, which, because men are a sorry breed, is broken on every whisper of private interest; but fear is bound by the apprehension of punishment which never relaxes its grasp.Nevertheless a Prince should inspire fear in such a fashion that if he [does] not win love he may escape hate. For a man may very well be feared and yet not hated, and this will be the case so long as he does not meddle with the property or with the women of his citizens and subjects. And if constrained to put any to death, he should do so only when there is manifest cause or reasonable justification. But, above all, he must abstain from the property of others. For men will sooner forget the death of their father than the loss of their property.”Do you agree with Machiavelli that a ruler CANNOT be both feared and loved? Why? How does this concept apply to our current political leaders?

Sociocultural Differences in Perspectives on Aging Response
Respond to at least two colleagues who addressed cultures that are different from the ones you addressed. Share an insight from reading your colleagues' postings. Describe how you might incorporate the cultural perspectives on aging described by your colleagues into your own social work practice.Be sure to support your responses with specific references to the resources. If you are using additional articles, be sure to provide full APA-formatted citations for your references.Colleague 1: Jessica Japanese Culture & Nigerian Culture vs. Western CultureIn Japanese culture their elderly hold a higher status, to be elderly in Japan is associated with wisdom and respect (Zastrow et. al., 2019). Nigerian culture is very similar to Japanese culture in the aspect of elderly care. Nigerian culture tends to show great respect and admiration to the elder population (Curry, n.d.). In western culture (my culture) to be elderly means to be a burden and to have a lost mind. The way the elderly is treated within these to cultures is vastly different. Typically in Japanese culture the elderly live with family members and are celebrated, however in western culture the elderly are typically put into a home for the elderly and occasionally visited by family (Zastrow et. al., 2019). Nigeria is considered to be an area of poverty and therefore if an individual makes it to an elderly age they are very well respected (Curry, n.d.). The differences seem to exist due to the difference in values within Japanese/Nigerian cultures and western cultures. Japanese and Nigerian value family and tradition (Zastrow et. al., 2019; Curry, n.d.). While the western culture value jobs and urbanization, these difference in values show in the care of their elderly. Social Work Practice Social workers should always take into account the culture of the individual they are working with. The culture of the individual may change their perceptions on the care the social worker is providing. The National Association of Social Work (NASW) code of ethics makes it a point that all social workers act in a culturally competent manner. A social worker may come across different perceptions of death or health care or even different communication patters based upon the individual’s culture or religious beliefs (Lopez, 2007). Understanding these cultural aspects could make the difference in helping an individual as a social worker (Lopez, 2007). Reference: Curry, T. (n.d.). Nigeria. Countries and their Cultures. Retrieved, https://www.everyculture.com/Ma-Ni/Nigeria.htmlLopez, S. (2007). Honoring Cultural Diversity at the End of Life. Social Work Today.7(6). P.36. Retrieved, https://www.socialworktoday.com/archive/novdec2007...Zastrow, C. H., Kirst-Ashman, K. K., & Hessenauer, S. L. (2019). Understanding human behavior and the social environment (11thed.). Cengage Learning.Colleague 2: Paul Post a discussion that compares your culture’s perspective on aging to the perspective of the two cultures you research. Explain why you think these differences exist. Western culture and Japanese culture are the two cultures that I researched. Being an American and also as someone originally from Nigeria, west Africa, There is a sharp difference between how people from west Africa and most western cultures such as the U.S., UK, Australia and Germany treat their elderly family members. In West Africa, families have time for their aging family members. For instance, in most families, especially in the rural areas do not take their aging family members to nursing homes rather they stay at home with their families and taken care of by their young family members. In the western cultures, in most cases, it is completely the opposite, a lot of families are not able to have their elderly family members at home. According to Mayumi Karasawa (2018), Older Adults in Japan would rate aspect of their well-being (personal growth, purpose in life and positive relations with others) more highly than older U.S. Adults. In Japan, there is high regard for people in their later adulthood. The young members of the society bowed when they come across people in their late adulthood, they are regarded as people with a lot of wisdom. Unlike the western cultures, the Japanese older adults are widely socially accepted and respected. Lack of time is one of the reasons why most western cultures have little or no regard for the elderly population. The irony is that even in many Africa cultures where a lot of time is being created for taken care of their elderly family members, are now gradually becoming like the western culture because of migration and industrialization. More and more people are migrating to bigger cities and the western countries in search of opportunities that in most cases only the elderly people and young children are left at home. In the western cultures, there is hardly enough time to get things done, as a result, it is almost impossible for people to have their aging family members live with them. According to Rinald, D. Tucker Seeley in the resource reading childhood financial hardship and lifetime earnings were not associated with the absence of morbidity, however, childhood financial hardship was associated with an 8% higher number of chronic conditions.Explain how different perspective on aging might impact social work practiceThe western culture is more challenging to social workers when it comes helping the elderly population. It is much easier for social workers to render their service to their elderly clients if their family members are involved in their care. Social workers and family members can easily form a strong partnership in caring for the elderly clients. For instance, in a culture like the Japanese culture where the elderly population is already widely socially accepted and respected, it will be much easier for social workers to help their aging clients.
