BBQ #2 - World Myths, Religions & Philosophy DUE Monday October 24, 2018
Pick Any 1 from A-F below and you simply need to answer this ONE question fully. You do NOT need to do a Before and After for that question. Please copy and put the question as the title to your response.
Your response should be at least 1 page single-spaced & include information from:
ASSIGNMENT CHECKLIST - Be sure to have:
A) Your In-Class Notes
B) Class Lecture & Discussion
C) at least 1 thinker from supplemental resource below
D) at least 1 thinker from Video Responses
E) Include a Citation section at end of your response.
SAMPLE OF HOW TO DO "C" IN YOUR RESPONSE:
C) Supplemental Resources: (REQUIRED) Use the thoughts of at least 1 thinker in your response.
C) EXAMPLE OF HOW TO CITE EVIDENCE: In Chapter 1 (paragraph 7) of her autobiography The Long Loneliness, Dorothy Day, a Catholic American journalist and social activist meditates on the idea of knowing oneself. She writes, "Much as we want to know ourselves, we do not really know ourselves. Do
we really want to see ourselves as God sees us, or even as our fellow
human beings see us? Could we bear it, weak as we are?"
C) EXAMPLE OF DEVELOPING EVIDENCE: This
inspiring and serious section by Ms Day elevates my own thoughts on
what role a God or gods can play in my own life. She seems to use her
belief in God to heighten her awareness of herself and what good Ms. Day
is doing with her limited time on Earth. This seems helpful and
harmless to humanity, which is something a believer and non-believer in
God(s) could support. In this sense, Dorothy Day exemplifies one of
many purposes to the idea of God in someone's life. It is no wonder Pope
Francis, while on his recent visit to the United States in September
2015, cited Dorothy Day as a model for other Americans to follow who
seek self-awareness and a serious meaning of their lives in these model
times.
D) CITING VIDEO LINKS RELATED TO YOUR QUESTION - Documentary Table of Content & Transcriptions: Your response will be looked upon very favorably if you cite more than one video in your response.
D) EXAMPLE OF HOW TO CITE VIDEO EVIDENCE: At the end of Section 2: Freud - Golden Boy in the PBS Documentary: The Question of God, Sigmund Freud claimed "I
felt an overpowering need to understand something of the riddles of the
world in which we live and perhaps, even to contribute something to
their solution. I came to know all the fields of science. But to which
of them would I choose to dedicate my life?"
D) EXAMPLE OF DEVELOPING VIDEO EVIDENCE: Freud's desire to understand the "riddles of the world" are important because...
