Therefore, the writer must stay inside of a certain time period to correctly analyze the prompt. In addition, the prompt places limitations on civilizations.

Some of them have been credited in developing an indigenous model of contextualization of Christianity in China.

The Leader as Mentor Discipleship is the process of making disciples; students or followers of someone (Oxford Dictionaries, 2016). Although discipleship existed long before Jesus, the disciple-making process as expressed by Jesus is the most impactful example for Christianity. The following is an analysis of discipleship as it was applied to Jesus’ ministry, Jesus’ discipleship model in light of modern leadership theories, and a discussion of what can be gleaned from Jesus’ discipleship model.

Throughout his research, he combined the strategies people used into three categories, displacement, misattribution, and contextualization (Buckser pp.174). People who used displacement to hide their tics usually left the public area they were in to be alone and let all their tics out at once so they were not as tempted to tic in public.

The progressive era in the Unites states lends itself well to the study of women interactions to politics considered alongside the rise of radical right-wing organizations. The most promote organization was the Klu Klux Klan and the new formed women's branch. I started research on this topic by reviewing reference works, then refining the topic's broader idea through articles and books.

paragraph 1, Dockterman begins the article by providing statistics, “this generation of American kids (ages 3 to 18) is the tech-savviest in history: 27% of them use tablets, 43% use smartphones, and 52% use laptops.” The statistics allow for contextualization in regards to youth usage of technology; the evidence sets the commonality of technology for youth.
