The paper for the course is a 1500-1800-word descriptive essay. There is a good amount of latitude regarding the style/type of the paper. Based on your own interests/majors/academic preparation/etc. you may choose to submit a paper which is historical or sociological or political or literary or etc. in terms of style so long as the paper adheres to the following characteristics. The student must submit a pre-submission of a tentative thesis statement and an outline of two or three levels for approval/discussion by the date on the course schedule (the essay grade will be reduced by 10% if this is not done). The topic of the papers study should be drawn from a religious tradition different than your own. Tradition should be understood broadly. In other words, Roman Catholic, Pentecostal, and Coptic are all counted as Christian. These are the thirteen tradition categories from which to choose: Humanism/Atheism/Agnosticism. Your own should be seen as the primary influence growing up and your current persuasion. For example, a person raised in a Christian home but now embracing Atheism, should not choose either one of those traditions. It is in the context of the instructor comments on your thesis and outline submission where the chosen topic is approved or modified, including the need for making the topic narrower. he paper should be descriptive in tone, not apologetic, polemical, or iconoclastic. That being said, the paper should have a thesis which you are trying to prove, such as: Islam began within the context of the competing worldviews of Judaism, various forms of Christianity, and the traditional religious ideologies of the Arabian world and one may trace certain influences from each of them upon the beliefs and practices of Muslims. Or, While Christianity is showing a decline in Europe and stagnation in North America with growth among certain groups and decline in others, we find that the religious tradition is growing rapidly in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, especially within the Pentecostal and Charismatic branches of the faith tradition. Not, Due to the fact that Hinduism is the oldest world religion, we should embrace its philosophy of life. Nor, Because of the linkage of Islam to religious fundamentalism, terrorism, and polytheism, we should reject the movement and attempt to eradicate it. The paper should reflect research which has gone beyond the class textbook and Wikipedia. The type of research will be shaped by the style of paper chosen (statistics, primary documents, website traffic), but it should be clear to the reader that you have researched the evidence surrounding your topic.

The film must cover the time period of our class, but it does not need to be more specific than that. For example, US I would be 1600-1877. US II would be 1877-present. The film must cover United States history in a clear way. (Anything happening in the colonies prior to independence fits this requirement). You could choose four movies on the Civil War for US I if you so desired. I will use the film Pearl Harbor as an example for these instructions. 500 words.
Paragraph One: What is the history in the film? Do not tell me the history of the film. What does this film portray as the historical events? For Pearl Harbor, you would give me what the film says about the attack and counter-strike (Doolittle Raid). Do not spend any time on the love triangle, etc., as that is not part of the historical nature of the film.
Paragraph Two: What does your text say about the historical event covered in the film? We will assume that the textbook is historically correct. I also strongly recommend you select a movie topic that is covered well enough in the textbook to complete this assignment effectively. For example, what does the textbook say about the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Doolittle Raid, if anything?
Paragraph Three: This is the heart of the assignment. What did the film get correct and what did it get wrong? Why? What would be the benefit of showing this film to students as a history lesson? What would be the dangers? What is the bias of the film?
Preventative measures enacted by governmental and nongovernmental entities; and
