are like homes without souls.

Compendium Theologiae: Receive from my hands this compendious treatise on Christian teaching to keep continually before your eyes. My whole endeavor in the present work is taken up with these three virtues. I shall treat first of faith, then of hope, and lastly of charity. This is the Apostle’s arrangement which, for that matter, right reason imposes. Love cannot be rightly ordered unless the proper goal of our hope is established; nor can there be any hope if knowledge of the truth is lacking. Therefore the first thing necessary is faith, by which you may come to a knowledge of the truth. Secondly, hope is necessary, that your intention may be fixed on the right end. Thirdly, love is necessary, that your affections may be perfectly put in order.. .

Generic Qualitative Study On Systems Conflict As Described By Employees’ Leader-Member Exchange
This study addressed the problem of conflict in the workplace as experienced by leader-member exchanges (LMXs). The background and significance of this study concerned the research problem and questions asking about systems conflict in the workplace according to LMXs. The study used a generic qualitative research design; participants were obtained online via purposive and snowball sampling. Participants who were Facebook users were asked to describe their conflict experiences in the workplace that were then thematically analyzed. Results showed that either systems conflict in LMXs described leadership and followership; or that types of members in such exchanges described conflict systems. Addressing the problem by answering the research question fills a knowledge gap that the scientific community and organizational leaders might use to address systems conflict in the workplace.. .

The Impact of Cell Phones As Portable Media Devices
On Human Behavior At Health Clubs
The use of cell phones by people who frequent gyms and health clubs severely retards social interactions within the gym environment. This social retardation, so to speak, is an ongoing epidemic born out of the technological revolution of the 1990s that is conceivably plaguing every gym in the United States that allows the use of cell phones within the confines of the gym by its members. Anyone who has ever visited any gym in the United States will notice people who are using their cell phones as portable media devices (i.e., plugging headphones into their cell phones) so that they can listen to music, as evidenced by people’s apparent social isolationism due, in no small part, to the headphones, which are essentially tools of social disengagement. The consequent impact of cell phones on human prosocial behavior in health clubs must be addressed in part by this study as well as others if the American people are going to remedy the social isolationism that is not only plaguing society but also mothballing the very social fabric of our communities.. .

Theology As Applied In The Field Of Practical Philosophy
As Applied To Philosophical Practice
The purpose of this thesis was to determine how theology could be applied to philosophical practice. The study makes a significant contribution toward answering how philosophy might be informed by theology in a practical manner. The methods and methodologies were both scientific and philosophical. Theology was found to be distinct from non-philosophical practices claiming to be theological. These findings support the distinctiveness of theological, self-examination philosophic practice. Theology also was revealed to uniquely inform the field of practical philosophy when applied to philosophical practice as formative self-examination (FS-E).. .
