DQ 1

This Chapter provides the background for “the note from Papa” requesting the meeting at The Shack. In some cases tragedy brings people closer together or closer to the divine, while on other occasions it isolates people. What happened with Mack? Why? If you would like, you can share a personal experience or one that you may have witnessed when people were either drawn closer or separated by tragedy. Do not share personal details, simply outline the circumstances and the result.

DQ 2

How is God portrayed? Why is it significant? Are you surprised? Why or why not? Any ideas about how Christianity refers to this doctrine of three individuals existing in a single entity?

This week’s reading, “Existentialism and Human Emotion,” examined Jean-Paul Sartre’s existentialist outlook on ethics. Sartre (1905-1980) was a French philosopher who stressed the significance of human freedom and questioned the role of external theories and causes in determining ethical decisions. In your Discussion Post for this week, make sure you do the following 3 things:

• Describe Sartre’s conception of existentialist freedom
• Explain how the story of the undecided young man illustrates Sartre’s views
• Critically assess Sartre’s account of human freedom by giving a contemporary example that either confirms or challenges his views.

This week we continue to build on our Critical Essays due in Week 7. In this assignment, you will create a thesis statement.

An excellent thesis statement is specific and informative and insightful. It tells your reader precisely what you are going to argue in your paper and why. It doesn’t just promise an examination. Please avoid backing into your thesis by way of a question too. Put your thesis forward in declarative terms.

Please include your list of references (in APA format) noting any revisions in light of feedback provided Week 2. Remember, your references need to be primary references which refers to the works of people who take a stand for and against the issue you’ll consider. This rules out encyclopedias (even specialized encyclopedias) that just give us a synopsis of what the primary source has to say.

The paper

must be exactly one full page, with 1/3 of the paper devoted to summary of
