Please choose one of the following topics for your essay: 1. Chapter II of On Death and Dying* by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross (1973) presents a modern perspective on death. Read “Society’s Contributions to Defensiveness” (PDF pages 1-9) and compare this perspective with Socrates’ attitude toward death in the Apology. Do you believe that Socrates’ view of death is relevant today, or has his way of thinking become obsolete? 2. “Semiautomatic” is a children’s story about memory loss and recovery. How is recollection as portrayed in “Semiautomatic” related to the geometry lesson in Plato’s Meno? Compare the girl in the story with the boy in the dialogue — both remember, but in different ways. Look for an underlying structure in the words and images of the story that parallels what we see in Meno.  3. In the spirit of Socrates, write a fictional dialogue between two characters who attempt to determine if SHU consistently upholds its values. For example, one can argue that SHU’s relationship with military contractors such as General Electric is incompatible with the values of the New Testament (e.g., Luke 6:27-37). Similarly, you can write a dialogue in which two characters debate whether a Catholic university is justified in charging high tuition rates. Read SHU’s core values and consider whether the University could defend itself against a modern-day Socrates. Feel free to have one character criticize SHU to the utmost, but be sure to use Socratic reasoning (specifically, the elenchus) as a model. Use the same format that we see in Meno and similar dialogues. 4. HYPER-REALITY is a motion picture that presents a dystopian world submerged in layers of images. How is the vision of the future portrayed in HYPER-REALITY related to the allegory of the Cave? Discuss differences and similarities. 5. In Book VII of the Republic, Socrates states that the majority of cities in his time are governed by “people who fight over shadows” (p. 192). Why does he state this? Are there people today who “fight over shadows” as well? Do you agree with the solution that is presented in the Republic? Your essay should be at least 700 words (maximum: 1,000 words). Feel free to use and develop comments that you have posted in a discussion. In addition, you may cite comments posted by your classmates. In the latter case, or when citing any material from outside the discussions, please use the MLA citation format (see the MLA Formatting and Style Guide for more information). Course textbooks and online texts should also be cited. Let me know if you have any questions about citing or if you prefer to write on a different topic. * Source: Kübler-Ross, Elisabeth. On Death and Dying. Routledge, 1973. SocINDEX. Accessed 19 July 2019. Guidelines: In your essay, quote and discuss several relevant passages from the assigned texts. Page numbers for each quotation should refer to the texts specified in the syllabus. Write a paragraph that discusses a possible weakness in your argument, and briefly address this weakness. This can be done after you present your main argument in the body of your essay. For example, if you agree with Socrates, briefly discuss an argument that opposes him. How would you respond to this opposing argument in defense of Socrates? Remove grammatical and typographical errors.  Summarize your main points in the first paragraph of your essay. Your first paragraph should provide an outline of the body of your essay. Use topic sentences to introduce each paragraph. Each paragraph in the body of your essay should develop one of your main points.

Context: Revolutionary societies typically attempt to reform and/or reimagine human relations in order to bring about a new social order that is more moral, ethical, and just than what came before. Efforts to shape gender roles and channel sexuality have been central to modern revolutionary projects,appearing most often in the form of “new man,” “new woman,” and “revolutionary family” campaigns. This was certainly the case in the 1959 Cuban Revolution and 1979 Iranian Revolution, despite profound ideological differences that became especially apparent as Cuba revolutionary authorities developed a hardline communist party line and Iranian revolutionary authorities turned to fundamentalist Islam in the years immediately following the overthrow of the old regimes. This paper is intended to help you understand these two revolutionary projectsand their often contradictory attitudes towards non-normative sexualities.Compare and contrast the ways in which the Cuban and Iranian revolutions have addressed the “problem”of non-normative sexualities.1.Why were Cuban and Iranian authorities concerned about non-normative sexualities?2. How did they respond to the problem in the first years after their respective revolutions? 3.How did their responses change over time? Why?4.Whichnon-normative sexualities have become (relatively) acceptable to authorities? Why?5. Which-normative sexualities are still considered a problem? Why?

It is hard to nail down a fully accurate, and all-encompassing, definition of postmodernism.  However, one characteristic that is often associated with Postmodern art is the use of appropriation.   Write a short essay discussing the use of appropriation in a specific work of art. It can be a film, a comic book, a song, a painting, a sculpture, or any other creative endeavor.   Be sure to discuss:    what is being appropriated – was it from another creative piece? It is a “found object” – something that was already produced but is now being incorporated into a new work by someone who had not created the original thing?  Is just an idea or concept?   What could be the meaning of this appropriation? What added message or concept is brought into play by doing this?

Assignment: Anthropology 3 Who Owns the Past? Overview Over the past few decades, there has been an expansion of methods in bioarchaeology, the analysis of human skeletal remains. We are now able to extract ancient DNA to understand ancestry, measure stable isotopes to understand an individual’s diet, use CAT-scan technology to record previously hidden traits, and so on. At the same time, it is becoming increasingly clear that archaeology is not conducted in an ethical vacuum as descendant communities voices are increasingly being heard regarding the intrusion of archaeologists onto their ancestors. This conflict is especially apparent in a recent article, “The Kennewick Man Finally Freed to Share His Secrets”  (Links to an external site.) , in the Smithsonian Magazine. You are to compose a brief, 750 word essay that compares and contrasts the Kennewick Man case with the African Burial Ground videos. This is not an opinion piece, but a position paper where you will use facts and examples to support your conclusion. African Burial Ground videos: Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbCa_djSo6E&feature=youtu.be&ab_channel=MarionNewton Part 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYug9ZmQZV0&feature=youtu.be&ab_channel=MarionNewton Kennewick Man case will be a pdf attachment. The questions below are provided to give you some considerations and directions for your paper–do not respond to each question but incorporate them into an essay with an introduction (including a thesis statement), body, and conclusion that takes a position regarding roles of archaeologists and descendant communities.  1.What role should archaeologists play in reconstructing the past of communities they are not members of?  2.Why would some communities want their ancestors’ remains studied by archaeologists, and other communities might not? 3.When should science, conducted in the interests of the general population, be more important than the ethical concerns of descendant communities? Paper requirements: 1. Your response should be a minimum of 750 words and submitted as a Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF file in Canvas. 2. 12-point Times New Roman font. 3. Name, course, and date in the upper-left corner. 4. Original paper title (required) centered. 5. References cited at the end of the paper (do not need to place on a new page) 6. No quotations.
