What kinds of objects are used in the service, either by clergy or lay people? What do those objects mean, or represent?
Your site visit paper should be 1000 words, and written as a first person narrative based on your experience of attending a service of a religion other than the one you were raised in. Because the majority of you were raised as some type of Christian, no one my attend any kind of Christian service without my prior permission. If you were not raised Christian you may not attend any kind of service of the tradition you were raised in (but you still need to clear Christianity with me). If you have any questions about whether or not a particular service or tradition is appropriate for you and/or this assignment, ask before you go! This is NOT a research paper, and no outside reading (beyond class assignments) is required. If you do choose use outside sources, you MUST to cite them. Both Chicago and MLA styles of citation are fine, just be sure to use the one you choose correctly. If you ask a friend, family member, or someone at the service questions about what you’re observing definitely include those! You can cite them by saying, “My friend Cory told me that object x represents y, and is used in the following ways” or, “the person I sat next to told me XX”.
TOPIC: For this site visit I would like you to focus on the theme of material objects (such as books, candles, bells, statues, rugs, art, clothing etc). What kinds of objects are in the space that the service is held in? What kinds of objects are used in the service, either by clergy or lay people? What do those objects mean, or represent? Where are they located, and what does their location tell you about their use or importance? Are they treated in a special or particular manner? If so, why? You should weave your observations about the objects in with your description of the service and your experience. Be sure to include the date and place of the service you attended at the start of your essay.

DISCUSSION BOARD
The Aging Process
The aging process is a complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors; therefore each individual ages differently. For example, changes in body composition, body weight, and body systems are common effects of aging. It is essential for those who are aging to maintain a healthy lifestyle to reduce the risk of disease and infection. However, the end result of aging inevitably is death. Appropriate preparation for death contributes to well-being of family and friends and brings peace of mind to the dying. For this Discussion, consider the impact of aging on personal health and wellness and the importance of preparing for death. To prepare for this Discussion: Review Chapter 14 in Health: The Basics, 10th edition. Pay particular attention to aging and preparing for death. Complete the Chapter 14 Personal Health Assessment “Are You Afraid of Death?” in Health: The Basics, 10th edition. Think about preparing for death. Review the media “Dimensions of Health Wheel.” Select two dimensions of health and consider how the aging process might affect each of them. With these thoughts in mind: Select one of the two Discussion Questions. By Day 4, post a brief description of the two dimensions of health you selected. Then explain how the aging process might affect those dimensions. Finally, describe one strategy you might recommend to improve or enhance the two dimensions of health you selected for someone who is aging. OR By Day 4, post an example of a situation in which preparation for death was either adequately planned or inadequately planned. Explain the results and the impact of those results on family and friends. Finally, explain how this situation might influence your own preparations for death and dying. _____________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________ RESOURCES Donatelle, R.
