Instructions for paper project
There is one paper to be written for HIST 2310 “Early World History
.” This prompt serves as instructions on how to successfully complete
this project.
What to Do
One will compose a 6-8 page paper focusing on one area of the world that your textbook, The Human Journey, Vol. I A Concise Introduction to World History,
by Kevin Reilly, discussed. The seven areas are: The Middle East;
Africa; Europe; China; India; the Americas; and Pacific (Polynesia)
Having picked your area, thoroughly read about the coverage of your
area throughout the book; then, use that as your base for discussing
your area’s development, and importantly, how it interacted with OTHER
areas. YOU MUST ANSWER ALL OF THE PROMPT QUESTIONS BELOW:
Did the area you picked experience variety, diversity of beliefs and
practices? Give examples, explaining why or why not there was
diversity. Was there a geographic pattern to these differences –
explain. What role did cities play – or not play – in your area?
Did your area “butt heads” with other areas, or rather , was there a
mutually beneficial relationship…or even a combination of these two
phenomena? Discuss. I am especially interested in how your area
connected to other areas.
Discuss in your essay the spread of religion(s) within your
area…and even beyond your area. Who carried the religion outwards?
priests? trader – businessmen? or who?
Discuss the social and political trends of your area, being sure to
tell how power and prestige were structured in your area. For example,
what power or prestige did soldiers, priests, scholars, and business
people have in your area.
Discuss the language (s) spoken in your area, and how language,
written or unwritten, had a major impact upon your area’s development.
Use double spacing, twelve point font, one inch margins and other proper structuring when doing this assignment.
VERY IMPORTANT:
The paper must be written IN YOUR OWN WORDS. Utilize only our The Human Journey text book; DO NOT copy and paste from websites. Synthesize information from text and put in your own words.
