1. BIBLICAL SYNTHESIS
After reading the assigned Bible passages, synthesize these
passages into a response to the following question: “What is the
responsibility of Christians with regards to economic
development, leadership within the community, and the
mandates of the Gospel?”
MUST BE 600 WORDS
Biblical integration must be included in a thoughtful manner as
articulated in the required
reading and presentations.
2. Citations from the required reading and presentation must be
included in answering the
assigned questions.James 1:26-27New International Version
26 Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep
a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their
religion is worthless. 27 Religion that God our Father accepts as
pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in
their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the
world.
Proverbs 29:7New International Version
7 The righteous care about justice for the poor,
but the wicked have no such concern.
Malachi 3:6-12New International VersionBreaking Covenant by
Withholding Tithes
6 “I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob,
are not destroyed. 7 Ever since the time of your ancestors you
have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them.
Return to me, and I will return to you,” says the Lord Almighty.
“But you ask, ‘How are we to return?’
8 “Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me.
“But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’
“In tithes and offerings. 9 You are under a curse—your whole
nation—because you are robbing me. 10 Bring the whole

2. tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house.
Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not
throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much
blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. 11 I will
prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your
fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says
the Lord Almighty. 12 “Then all the nations will call you
blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says
the Lord Almighty.
Matthew 6New International VersionGiving to the Needy
6 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of
others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward
from your Father in heaven.
2 “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with
trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the
streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have
received their reward in full. 3 But when you give to the needy,
do not let your left hand know what your right hand is
doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father,
who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.Prayer
5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they
love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street
corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have
received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your
room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen.
Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, w ill reward
you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans,
for they think they will be heard because of their many
words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you
need before you ask him.
9 “This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.

3. 11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,[a]
but deliver us from the evil one.[b]’
14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you,
your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not
forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your
sins.Fasting
16 “When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for
they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly
I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 17 But when
you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18 so that it
will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to
your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is
done in secret, will reward you.Treasures in Heaven
19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where
moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and
steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where
moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not
break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your
heart will be also.
22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are
healthy,[c] your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your
eyes are unhealthy,[d] your whole body will be full of darkness.
If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that
darkness!
24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one
and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and
despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.Do
Not Worry
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you
will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not
life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at
the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in
barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not

4. much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by
worrying add a single hour to your life[e]?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers
of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you
that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one
of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field,
which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will
he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not
worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’
or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these
things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need
them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and
all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do
not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own.Footnotes

Acts 5:1-11New International VersionAnanias and Sapphira
5 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira,
also sold a piece of property. 2 With his wife’s full knowledge
he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest
and put it at the apostles’ feet.
3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled
your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept

5. for yourself some of the money you received for the
land? 4 Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it
was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you
think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human
beings but to God.”
5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great
fear seized all who heard what had happened. 6 Then some
young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him
out and buried him.
7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what
had happened. 8 Peter asked her, “Tell me, is this the price you
and Ananias got for the land?”
“Yes,” she said, “that is the price.”
9 Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of
the Lord? Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband
are at the door, and they will carry you out also.”
10 At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the
young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and
buried her beside her husband. 11 Great fear seized the whole
church and all who heard about these events.

35 In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard
work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord
Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”
2 Corinthians 8:2-5 2In the midst of a very severe trial, their
overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich
generosity. 3For I testify that they gave as much as they were
able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, 4they
urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this
service to the LORD's people. 5And they exceeded our
expectations: They gave themselves first of all to the LORD,
and then by the will of God also to us.Romans 12:13New
International Version
13 Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice
hospitality.1 Timothy 6:18New International Version

6. 18 Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to
be generous and willing to share.
1 John 3:17-18
New International Version
17 If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or
sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God
be in that person? 18 Dear children, let us not love with words
or speech but with actions and in truth.
Marketing Strategies to Influence Buyer Behavior: The
Consumer
……………………..
……………………………………………….
……………………………….
………….
……………………..
1
Defining what is consumer with examples
Patients are considered consumers in the healthcare industry
because they have the capacity to use a product or service
(Cleverism, 2019).
Consumers (patients) may, for example, use smart devices like

7. smartphones to obtain health data.
Smart technology also enables users to connect with service
providers virtually.
An individual who purchases goods or services for personal use
on the basis of their own tastes, opinions, and wants as well as
the effect of advertising is called a consumer by Cleverism
(2019). E-commerce and mobile payments have grown
tremendously in the digital age. Buying things online requires
smooth delivery, which includes speedy shipping and free one-
day shopping. For e-commerce development, flexible return
policies are essential.
2
Consumer decision making process
A process where customers assess their requirements, get
information, evaluate options, and make a purchasing choice
(Mehrguth, 2021).
Factors
Knowledge
Perception
Motivation
Self-concept
Decision making process of consumers is involving then in
purchase decisions. Market segmentation, entry strategies, and
brand positioning are all supported by theories of consumer
buying behavior (Mehrguth, 2021). There are several aspects

8. that play a role in a consumer's decision-making process.
Internal elements or personal influences of an individualistic
type are among these. The customer is influenced greatly by
these elements, even when they are hidden from view. Some of
these elements include knowledge, perception, motivation,
attitude, and one's own conception of oneself.
3
How conditioning and culture challenge the development of a
marketing strategy.
Knowledge - Factual or interpretive
Culture affects development of sensitive marketing strategy
based on cultural assumptions.
Cognitive behaviors
Social conventions especially consumer needs.
Collectivism vs Individualism
A product's advertising strategies are profoundly influenced by
its cultural context. Because culture has an impact on a
consumer's way of life, companies pay attention to the cultural
values of their customers to give the impression that they really
know them. Before launching a product or brand worldwide,
healthcare organizations who are aware of the cultural aspects
of marketing often have an edge. This is seen in the slide. Every
country's culture is a vital component. Companies may prevent
humiliating blunders and take advantage of cross-cultural
possibilities for their brands and product lines by recognizing
ethnic preferences, customs, and behavior patterns (Andrienko,
2015).
4
How consumers’ needs could change the strategy for a
marketing campaign.

9. Brand switching behavior of consumers
Ineffective advertisement strategies
Improperly identifying a target audience
External forces
A constant requirement for marketing modification might be
attributed to a variety of factors. As a consequence of poor
techniques, such as an advertising that fails to get as many
viewers as planned, certain adjustments are being made. Many
of these changes may be due to the incorrect identification of a
target audience—the individuals most likely to actually utilize a
product. A shift in marketing tactics may also be necessitated
by external factors. There are a number of additional reasons
why healthcare firms must continually adapt their marketing
tactics to decrease the gap between customer wants and product
offerings (Cleverism, 2019).

Week 2 Assignment
For this Assignment, you will continue to act as the director of
marketing for a company and will provide an analysis of how
you would promote your products and/or services to a specific
demographic targeted market using social media marketing
strategies. This analysis will be divided into three separate
presentations. Last week, you submitted the first presentation
on incorporating the consumer. This week, you will create and
submit a presentation on incorporating product and service
innovation. In Week 3, you will submit a third presentation on
incorporating marketing in the technological era.
With those thoughts in mind, continue using the particular
industry and specific target market that you selected in Week 1.
Using that information, you will continue to analyze the use of
social media marketing strategies to reach that target market
and influence buyer behavior. To showcase your analysis, you
will create a PowerPoint slide presentation, along with a written

13. script (in the Notes section of the PowerPoint) that you would
use to give your presentation. As you develop your presentation,
be sure to include specific examples where applicable, as well
as relevant citations from the Learning Resources, the Walden
Library, and/or other appropriate academic sources.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Submit your presentation and accompanying script in the Notes
section of each slide. Be sure to fully address the following in
approximately 4 slides, excluding references:
Incorporating Product and Service Innovation
· Analyze how marketing strategy development is shaped by
influencers.
· Examine how the industry and the competition can be
influenced by social media. Be specific, including what factors
are most conducive to influencing.
· To support your assertions, do some research and locate at
least two examples of innovative and creative social media
influence practices. For each example, do the following:
· Describe the organization (including what type of company it
is, what sector/industry it is in, et cetera).
· Provide specific examples of how the organization employs
(or employed) creativity and innovation through the use of
social media influence in its business practices.
***Use Power Point Assignment Template that’s attached. Also
use the same Industry as week 1 which was Health Care. I will
attach week 1 assignment for you to look back on. (With those
thoughts in mind, you will select a particular industry (e.g.,
health care, automotive, consumer goods) and identify a
specific target market.
