Conclusion

Wrap- up the main ideas in the paper

“Devil’s Advocate” Paper On ‘Does God Exist?’

Need a 3 page paper using the following outline as a guide:

 

TOPIC The Existence of God

Thesis (Your own position):  I consider myself to be agnostic, which means that I neither believe nor disbelieve in the existence of God. Whenever something good happens that is hard to explain or there is no explanation for, people are quick to say it is God’s work. I find myself wanting to be live in God, but because I have a more scientific mind, I need proof/evidence before I can believe.

Reason 1:  There is no tangible proof that God exists. We are just to go on faith that there is a God. Throughout history, people have believed in God based purely on hearsay. They believe someone else who said that God has spoken to them.

Reason 2: If God is all knowing, all powerful, and good, then how is it that there is so much suffering and disease in this world? How is it that children and good people are stricken with cancer and bad people are left disease free to commit such horrendous crimes as pedophilia and murder? It is very hard to believe in a God that would allow good people and innocent children to be stricken in such ways.

Objection (Devil’s Advocate):  People who believe are quick to use the Bible as proof that God exists.  The Bible, in their opinion, is the “Holy Word”, directed to man by God to be written.

Response to the Objection: The Bible is a book written by man of stories told by other men throughout many generations.  These men claim to have heard God’s voice speak to them. For all we know, these men could have suffered from some sort of mental illness, such as schizophrenia. 

 

Must supply solid resources to back up each side of the argument.

What ethical issues are related to your topic and/or discussed in the studies you reviewed?

Assignment 1: LASA # 2: PowerPoint Presentation

Utilizing the information you compiled for your literature review paper, and the feedback you received from your instructor about the literature review, prepare a 10-15 minute Power Point presentation on your topic, summarizing the key points and conclusions. Be sure to direct this presentation to an audience in the community. For example, if your paper pertained to a topic in developmental psychology, direct your presentation toward parents, or a parenting center. If your topic pertained to substance abuse, direct it toward a community service agency which may use this information for educating teens or parents about preventing drug use, or current clients about treatments and facilities available. Please state in your presentation the specific audience toward whom your presentation is aimed. Include a reference page in APA format, as well as speaker notes and an audio file with your presentation.

Your slides should provide answers to the following questions:

  • What was your topic?
  • What question did you hope to answer by completing this literature review paper? Explain the practical implications of the conclusions of the literature review and the audience to which they are directed.
  • Given the results of your literature review, what is/are the prevailing argument(s)? In other words, which of those is supported by the existing evidence? Be sure to include full coverage of the arguments, including strengths and weaknesses of each of them, supported by your findings from reviewing the relevant articles.
  • Did the researchers consider multicultural factors in their studies? If not, what factors may be involved? What multicultural factors should future studies include?
  • What ethical issues are related to your topic and/or discussed in the studies you reviewed?
  • How do the conclusions of your literature review relate to the various specialization areas in psychology? Tie them to as many as apply from the following areas: biological, cognitive, developmental, social, personality theory, psychopathology, and applied psychology.
  • How can the conclusions of your literature review inform the population towards whom your presentation is directed? How can they apply this information to their daily lives? What advice or ‘take home message’ can you provide to your audience based on the research you reviewed?
  • What research question could you ask in order to further develop this area of study?
  • Why is your research question important and relevant to the current work being done on your topic?

Your presentation should also follow these guidelines:

  • It should be approximately 10-15 minutes in length.
  • It should be clear, concise, and professional.  Writing should be free of spelling and grammatical errors; it should conform to current APA style (including any in-text citations).
  • It should include graphs, tables, figures, or images illustrating your ideas.
  • There should be a final slide listing references in current APA style.
  • The bulk of the text should be placed in the Notes pages of each slide. Keep the amount of text on the slide, itself, to a minimum.
  • You should record an audio file of your oral presentation. You should also type the text of the speech you would give while showing these slides to an audience should be typed into the Notes area.  If you are unable to use the audio feature, the Notes text will suffice.
  • You can refer to the Power Point tips document provided in the Doc Sharing section of the course.

Submit your presentation to the M5: Assignment 1 Dropboxby Monday, October 10, 2016.
