Learning Activity 1.3: Reflection Journal
Introduction and Purpose of Assignment
Odom writes about achieving goals by working together and supporting others, but this is often not so in the business world, where climbing the corporate ladder is done at the expense of others.
Objectives
• Apply Christian principles in critical thinking and decision making.
Theory and Context
Eccelsiastes 4:9-12 (ESV), “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him – a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”
