Risk & Insurance

by | Nov 27, 2018 | Main

1. List the coverage [liability, medical expense, un(under)-insured motorists, collision/other than collision (damage to your auto), and any applicable no-fault/personal injury protection that exist in your automobile insurance policy. Be sure you state: a) the amount (“limits”), b) the premium (cost), and c) any applicable deductible for each coverage for one auto (either your auto or the one you most normally drive)]. Include the total premium per payment period and how/when your premium is payable (i.e. annual, semiannual, quarterly). This information is best presented in table format. 2. How does your insurer classify where a vehicle is principally garaged (where it is listed as being principally driven?)? Your agent/insurer will be able to provide this information if it is not found on the declarations page. Also, provide the classification of the primary usage of the vehicle (i.e. pleasure, commute to work/school < 5 miles). 3. List any discounts that may be currently in effect in your policy. Are there any additional discounts for which you (your family) may be eligible? Why don’t you have them now? 4. Describe the individuals who are “covered persons” under the policy (hint: it’s normally not just the named insured!). Look in your notes if it’s not mentioned on your declarations page. Most policies follow what we discuss in class. 5. Discuss the factors that are important in determining your particular premium (While you don’t have to provide specific rating information directly from your insurer, I do want you to describe your own situation and how you suspect these factors affect your premium.). 6. Discuss whether or not you feel that your current policy provides the types and amounts of coverage appropriate to your present auto insurance needs. Describe any changes in deductibles or coverage that you feel might be appropriate when you start paying your own auto insurance premium – if you aren’t already. Be sure to support your conclusions. Did you or your parents/spouse “shop around” for your best coverage package? If not, why not? 7. How is your company currently rated? Be sure to identify your rating source(s) (i.e. Best’s Reports, D&B, S&P etc ).

Dante Alighieri played a critical role in the literature world through his poem Divine Comedy that was written in the 14th century. The poem contains Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. The Inferno is a description of the nine circles of torment that are found on the earth. It depicts the realms of the people that have gone against the spiritual values and who, instead, have chosen bestial appetite, violence, or fraud and malice. The nine circles of hell are limbo, lust, gluttony, greed and wrath. Others are heresy, violence, fraud, and treachery. The purpose of this paper is to examine the Dante’s Inferno in the perspective of its portrayal of God’s image and the justification of hell. 

In this epic poem, God is portrayed as a super being guilty of multiple weaknesses including being egotistic, unjust, and hypocritical. Dante, in this poem, depicts God as being more human than divine by challenging God’s omnipotence. Additionally, the manner in which Dante describes Hell is in full contradiction to the morals of God as written in the Bible. When god arranges Hell to flatter Himself, He commits egotism, a sin that is common among human beings (Cheney, 2016). The weakness is depicted in Limbo and on the Gate of Hell where, for instance, God sends those who do not worship Him to Hell. This implies that failure to worship Him is a sin.

God is also depicted as lacking justice in His actions thus removing the godly image. The injustice is portrayed by the manner in which the sodomites and opportunists are treated. The opportunists are subjected to banner chasing in their lives after death followed by being stung by insects and maggots. They are known to having done neither good nor bad during their lifetimes and, therefore, justice could have demanded that they be granted a neutral punishment having lived a neutral life. The sodomites are also punished unfairly by God when Brunetto Lattini is condemned to hell despite being a good leader (Babor, T. F., McGovern, T., & Robaina, K. (2017). While he commited sodomy, God chooses to ignore all the other good deeds that Brunetto did.

Finally, God is also portrayed as being hypocritical in His actions, a sin that further diminishes His godliness and makes Him more human. A case in point is when God condemns the sin of egotism and goes ahead to commit it repeatedly. Proverbs 29:23 states that “arrogance will bring your downfall, but if you are humble, you will be respected.” When Slattery condemns Dante’s human state as being weak, doubtful, and limited, he is proving God’s hypocrisy because He is also human (Verdicchio, 2015). The actions of God in Hell as portrayed by Dante are inconsistent with the Biblical literature. Both Dante and God are prone to making mistakes, something common among human beings thus making God more human.

To wrap it up, Dante portrays God is more human since He commits the same sins that humans commit: egotism, hypocrisy, and injustice. Hell is justified as being a destination for victims of the mistakes committed by God. The Hell is presented as being a totally different place as compared to what is written about it in the Bible. As a result, reading through the text gives an image of God who is prone to the very mistakes common to humans thus ripping Him off His lofty status of divine and, instead, making Him a mere human. Whether or not Dante did it intentionally is subject to debate but one thing is clear in the poem: the misconstrued notion of God is revealed to future generations.
