How have the diverse cultures of the world been linked by political systems, economic contact, social
and religious movements, philosophy, art, literature, and such variables as disease and war? In what
ways has civilization struggled over the centuries with the challenges that have contributed to cultural
transition? Choose a subject (science, philosophy, religion, economics, the arts, etc.) that we have
studied and identify connections – link common problems, events, or historical themes within the same
time period and/or trace them across geographic and chronological lines. Compare some of the writings
we have read, how they were influenced by the authors own biographical history, including things like
social locations, environment, interpersonal relationships, era, etc.
And 2nd paper of final paper ;
Who is memorialized/remembered in history? Why? During this semester we have learned how history,
gender, sexuality, war, religion, politics, family, power, education, economics, and culture help shape
the way we view the world and shape who we are as individuals and as nations; how we think, respond,
and act on a global level. Discuss struggles and resolutions within the identified themes above as
represented in current events, class materials, and discussions. How important are people who do not fit
in or conflict with their societies, but who embody the edge of creative change – the outsider, the
radical mind, the free thinker? IE: Discuss how and why some peoples have been viewed – or rendered
invisible – through history and how individually and collectively their presence is inextricably linked
with the development and progress of civilization. How did they contribute to intellectual, political, and
artistic frameworks?
