PART ONE: THE FALL - THEN

Read the assigned readings in Topic 3 (textbook Chapter 4, Topic 3 Overview, "The Mystery of Original Sin" article, and Bible passages) and address the following questions with a total word count (including all questions and answers combined) of 500-900 words.

Cite all of the resources used with in-text citations, using at least two sources from the Topic 3 readings. Include these in the reference list at the end of the assignment.

Write your paragraph response directly below each question:

1. What is revealed about human nature (from Genesis 1-2)?

 

2. What are the consequences of the fall for human nature (from Genesis 3)?

 

3. What is revealed about human purpose from the readings? What does it mean for humans to flourish, in other words to achieve spiritual, emotional, and mental well-being?

 

4. How might these questions about human nature, purpose, and flourishing be answered by those holding a pantheistic or atheistic (choose one) worldview?

 

PART TWO: THE FALL - NOW

Consider how the fall and humanity's exposure to good and evil are seen in the way some people treat themselves and others in dehumanizing ways today (examples: abuse, addiction, bullying, domestic violence, eating disorders, human trafficking, pornography, poverty, racism, vandalism, etc.).

Choose one act of dehumanization and write the script for a short TV public service announcement in 350-650 words. Use at least two different sources from the GCU Library cited in the text and listed below in the list of references. Include the following:

• Highlight how the act of dehumanization is evident in the world today.
• Provide solid ideas for prevention.
• Include statistics, causes, and impact on people (victim, perpetrator, others as appropriate).
• Discuss how a God-centered worldview contributes to a solution.
• Include notes within the script about the images and video that would be included when shooting the commercial.

From the topic materials, view the two examples of a public service announcement:

1. Child Internet Safety PSA - Online Predators
2. Dangers of Sexting: What Teens Need to Know
