What does the song “No Church in the Wild” use from Plato’s dialogue Euthyphro? What do you understand the song to be trying to say with that quote in this song? Is the song using the quote from Plato to convey a different meaning than it has in the dialogue by Plato? Here is the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJt7gNi3Nr4

For this week, we are discussing religion, globalism, and ethics.

Please reply to any two of the following four questions.

Follow the web links to Bob Dylan’s song “Highway 61 Revisited” for both the song and then the lyrics. Dylan begins with a retelling of a story from the Bible to fit the song. The other song that actually quotes from Plato’s Euthyphro is listed in question two “No Church in the Wild” by Jay-Z and Kanye West.

In light of that song and our course readings so far, please answer any two of the following questions:

1) What connection does that Bible story and Dylan’s song have with ethics and the so-called “Divine Command Theory” as espoused by Euthyphro? Here is the Dylan song “Highway 61 Revisited” by Karen O (click on small arrow after “link”): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SOo0SuzBZE

And here is the story of Abraham called by God to kill his own son (Dylan’s first line in his song refers to this story):https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+22&version=CEB

2) What does the song “No Church in the Wild” use from Plato’s dialogue Euthyphro? What do you understand the song to be trying to say with that quote in this song? Is the song using the quote from Plato to convey a different meaning than it has in the dialogue by Plato? Here is the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJt7gNi3Nr4

3) How might a person be a theist (believing in god), but still not accept Euthyphro’s Divine Command Theory for how best to live? It might be helpful to know that the Abraham story that Dylan refers to in his song can be clearly contrasted with another Abraham story where the Patriarch actually argues with God about what justice would require of even the most powerful being; that story is the famous Sodom and Gomorrah one, found in Genesis 18:16-33. Here is the second Abraham story that doesn’t follow the divine command theory: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=genesis+18&version=CEB

when this page opens scroll down to the heading “Abraham Pleads for Sodom” and notice his argument with God).

Consider the following strategies to help you answer the questions:

Examine extracurricular activities. Can you get involved with clubs or organizations that promote and expand diversity?
Review your college’s curriculum. In what ways does it reflect diversity? Does it have departments and courses on historically unrepresented peoples, e.g., cultural and ethnic studies, and gender and sexuality studies. Look for study-abroad programs, as well.
Read your college’s mission statement. Read the mission statement of other colleges. How do they match up with your values and beliefs? How do they align with the value of diversity?
Inquire with friends, faculty, colleagues, family. Be open about diversity. What does it mean to others? What positive effects has it had on them? Ask people about diversity.
Research can help. You might consult college literature, Web sites, resource centers and organizations on campus, etc.

The Leadership Challenge

Task Requirements (Review) Take some time to review your profile, paying close attention to the way your approach to tasks and different roles is evaluated. When you have done this, please write a short report that includes:
a) Your descriptive name—for example, Improviser
b) A summary of how the test describes you
c) A paragraph about the aspects of the report you agree or disagree with, based on your self-perception
d) Any thoughts about how your personality analysis links to the leadership theories we have explored

You have addressed all of the tasks requirements of this activity. You have identified your personality profile to be that of ISTJ. You have reviewed the key personality characteristics of your personality profile, and have reiterated your agreement with characteristics such as; Being dutiful, punctual and having a strong sense of justice, and being frustrated when others don’t accomplish tasks etc. In the discussion pertaining to the potential alignment of your personality with leadership theories, you have identified Situational Leadership and Autocratic Leadership, however, your discussion examined why they may not align with your personality. However you also need to examine which leadership theory/approach would fit with your personality. For example, you could have highlighted the key characteristics of the selected leadership theories and examined their compatibility with selected characteristics of your personality profile. In doing so, a more in-depth evaluation of the suitability of the selected leadership theory to your own personality profile could have been carried out. In terms of further transfer of learning you may wish to explore the following aspects [These reflective questions would help you when reflecting about your own leadership behaviour to-date – i.e.
Summative Assessment 2: Reflective Review]:-
• What is the potential inter-relationship between your leadership behaviour and your identified personality profile?
• Can you reflect on how the above inter-relationship could influence others in your team?
• If you have identified potential personality dimensions which you believe requires further development or change, how can you engage in conscious development of these dimensions in a positive manner? How can a more integrated and critical discussion of leadership theories, and their applicability to your personality be developed?
