Week 6 Discussion

Discussion Board, Initial Post. Please respond to the following prompt for your initial post.

Based on the readings from Chapters 12 and 13, you will see that there are several controlling principles, policies, and rules in place to protect parties from others, as well as from themselves for their own mistakes or ignorance.  Do the costs of this level of protection (setting an often vague and uncertain standard, intervening to upset the freedom of contract and redoing the deals made by competent adults, or reducing some people or classes of people to a protected status) exceed the benefits (protecting the weak and inexperienced, or concluding that the model of freedom of contract in many cases simply doesn’t exist in today's world and so contract terms may be supplied by the state instead of the parties). What are some biblical principles that relate to these legal choices, or pertain to business contracts and agreements today?  How do those Biblical principles compare to the concepts in the readings from chapters 12 and 13?

Cite a minimum of two scholarly peer reviewed sources (beyond your textbook or the Bible) applying APA guidelines (250-450 word count range).

Discussion Board Reply to Initial Posts.  In addition, learners must post replies to two of your peer’s initial posts. Your two peer replies should include additional research-based or text-based discussion that expands upon one of the key points noted in your peer’s initial post.

Each of your two peer replies should be composed in a professional manner with a word count range of 150-350 words.  Your initial post and your two peer replies stand as an integrated assignment in respect of timeliness and thus will only receive a full grade for timeliness if both assignments are completed on time.  The timeliness of your own initial post and your two peer reply posts will allow your classmates sufficient time to consider, prepare, and post a substantive reply or follow up. 

If needed: In the unlikely event that you believe you have been preempted because, by the time you get to your peer replies, other students have already made every conceivable reply to all the initial posts including the reply comments you would have made, you may select any other topic within the assigned readings for the week and post on it (treat this as if it were an initial post). If you do select another topic, then at the beginning of your “reply post” be sure explicitly to say that you believe you have been preempted and so are not making a reply post but are posting on another topic; and clearly identify the topic on which you are posting.

Discussion Board, Follow-up Posts: In addition to your initial post and your two reply posts, you must submit "follow-up" posts on all timely replies submitted by other students on your initial post.

General. As a crucial part of the educational process, remember to use proper academic Blackboard etiquette with all discussion board initial posts, reply posts, and follow-up posts throughout the course.  Be sure, in your initial post, to answer the prompt; in your reply post, to answer your peer and advance the discussion (do not simply say “I agree” or “I disagree” but explain your reasoning, expand, or otherwise advance the conversation initiated by your peer); and in your follow up, to address the comments made in the reply.

Remember that we are Christian brothers and sisters with different perspectives walking a path of academic and spiritual edification.  We will disagree at times, but we must disagree respectfully in a manner that edifies one another and allows each of us to learn and grow.
