Explain how the themes of conflict and violence complicate common, stereotyped understandings of Buddhism and Christianity?

Explain how the themes of conflict and violence complicate common, stereotyped understandings of Buddhism and Christianity? Why doesn’t it make sense to say religion is “inherently” violent or peaceful?

Above is the essay prompt. You are only allowed to use the sources linked and youtube videos to complete the paper. Buddhism and Christianity are the only religions you are allowed to use for examples.

The following were guidelines for completing the paper:
Papers should begin with a succinct introduction paragraph that presents a clearly defined central idea or thesis. Get right to the point. I don’t want papers that begin with overly general sentences like “Since the dawn of time, religion has…” and then meander to their point. Use the introduction to give me a sense of how your paper will proceed, and then proceed accordingly. The body of the paper should provide adequate support for the paper’s central idea clearly and logically, utilizing standard conventions appropriate for study in English.
After the introductory paragraph, the paper should then discuss and reflect more generally on the theme of the prompt you’ve chosen. The general thematic issues you raise here should be reflected in the later specific paragraphs devoted to the particular religions.
After your theme paragraph devote a few paragraphs to each of the particular religions mentioned in the prompt you’ve chosen. Your discussion of each religion should be guided by the issues you raised in your general thematic paragraph. Think of the different themes in the above prompts as the individual topics for your paper and the individual religions as specific examples that allow you to think through these topics.
Conclude the paper by offering comparisons between the two religions as you’ve related them to the larger theme of the prompt.

When citing sources, provide the author’s name, article name, then page number. An example of this would be (Candidia, “The Myth of Persecution, 3). Citing videos will go similarly using the video title then the time stamp.

The following youtube videos can also be used as sources:

Does this fact alter your view of the law forbidding the sale of human organs?

Using simple supply and demand analysis (No Graphs), think about the system of allocating human kidneys. The law that forbids the sale of human organs, but allows their voluntary donation. This means that there is a bigger shortage of kidneys than there otherwise would be. Does this fact alter your view of the law forbidding the sale of human organs? How about blood?

What are the key differences between monopolistic competition and perfect competition?

Several states have set the minimum wage in their states higher than the federal minimum wage. If doing so places them at a competitive disadvantage for new business this might be counterproductive. On the other hand, the minimum wage is typically relevant only in low-paid service jobs.
Who makes the minimum wage in your community?
Would your community be better off with a higher minimum wage?
One of the principal opponents to minimum-wage increases is the umbrella organization for small business. Many states with higher minimum wages than the federal level exempt businesses with few employees. Should small businesses be exempt from minimum-wage laws?
Imagine an owner of a firm is thinking about raising prices. Describe the consequences of doing so as a monopolist, oligopolist, monopolistic competitor, and perfect competitor.
What are the key differences between monopolistic competition and perfect competition?
Think about This: One of the concerns about Walmart’s entry into the grocery business in the latter part of the 1990s was that it would set low prices, drive little stores out of business, and then raise prices to monopoly levels when it had no competition. Can you explain why it has not happened?

Explain how The Changing American Perspective on the Iraq War and the War on Terror.

Your goal for this research project is to analyze the change in the American public’s (general) sentiment towards the Iraq
War/War on Terror from September 11th, 2011 to the current day. You’ll compare the similarities in the beginning
towards the American stance on World War II and the similarities in the modern day to the American public’s stance on
the Vietnam War. Remember that you’re focusing on the general sentiment/support of the wars in question by the
American public.
Starter Resources:
 Source 1: Perspective on World War I and World War II
o https://dc.etsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3212&context=etd
 Source 2: Vietnam to Iraq War – Changes in Support
o https://pages.uoregon.edu/vburris/vietnam_to_iraq.pdf
Paper Requirements:
Your two-to-three-page research project should address the following key topics:
1) Introduction—Provide a brief overview of American support of the Iraq War directly after September 11th, 2001
and the current sentiment towards it as more time has gone on and new facts have emerged such as the initial
claims of WMDs (Weapons of Mass Destruction) being shown as false or overstated. Introduce your key points of
comparison to World War II and the Vietnam War that will be expanded upon later in your research paper.
2) American Sentiment Directly After 9/11—Describe the American public’s support of the Iraq War and War on
Terror directly after the terrorist attacks. Do you think this was a justified response or not? What were the primary
causes of support for the war? Provide a counterargument. Make a strong point of comparison to the American
public’s support of World War II after the attack on Pearl Harbor to America and the War on Terror after 9/11.
3) American Sentiment in the Current Day—Describe the American public’s support of the Iraq War and War on
Terror in the current day. What caused this change in support? Make a strong point of comparison to the
American public’s support of the Vietnam War to America and the War on Terror today. Create an argument
for whether you support the War on Terror based on the available information you now know.
Citing Your Sources During Research:
Whenever you use information from research on the internet, in books, or documentaries, you must cite (record) your
sources. There are different special formats that researchers use to document important things like where the information
came from, who wrote the original information, and the date of the information.

Explain how Du Bois formulates the problems and issues African Americans faced at that time.

Essay Highlights: (1) For the most part, colonization involves a dynamic removal of the values of the colonized entity. For a colonized entity trying to liberate itself from colonialism, the need for clear concepts and ideological strategies that are to replace those of the colonizer are necessary if this entity is to achieve total freedom.
(2) The slave trade, systems of slavery, slavery continuance and abolishment policies varied greatly geographically within North America. These variations produced competing ideologies and inconsistent Federal policies on slavery in the United States of America up to the start of 2 the Civil War – resulting in the war being, in part, over the issues of slavery and complicated by race issues.
(3) The end of the civil war brought to the nation various efforts by individuals, organizations, and the government to give the freed slaves opportunities to become productive members of the country. From the beginning of the Reconstruction well into the 20th century, the nation continued to address issues of slavery, freedom, the reconstruction, and other new problems specific to African Americans. Most of these issues continue to plague African Americans today.
(4) One avenue that became necessary for the African American community to solve the problems of the 20th century was leadership by African Americans. In their own ways, these leaders wanted what was best for the nation at that time. One of those leaders was W.E.B. Du Bois.

Assignments: (1) Analyze the root causes of the problems and issues that faced African Americans from the beginning of the Reconstruction Period well into the 20th century and why leadership by African Americans became necessary. Specific examples and quotes, mostly and specifically from W.E.B. Du Bois’ The Souls of Black Folk (1903) and other resources used in this course, must be used in your analysis.

(2) Referring mostly and specifically to W.E.B. Du Bois’ The Souls of Black Folk (1903), first explain how Du Bois formulates the problems and issues African Americans faced at that time. Your essay should then analyze his proposed solutions in terms of completeness (analyze how complete his solutions were in terms of how the system of slavery had shaped both the races; the economic structure of the nation at that time; practicability; and the competing nature of his solutions to those proposed by other leaders at that time). Your response to these assignments must demonstrate your knowledge of the problems and issues facing the African Diaspora well into the 20th century. Specific examples and quotes especially from the resources used in this class must be used in your essay. Include page numbers in your citations – even for online resources.

Format: • Typed and double-spaced with a one-inch left margin. • Use black ink and (around) size 12 of popular fonts. • Type the course/section, title of your essay, and your name on the top center of the first page. • Page numbers should be on the bottom of the pages. • Although the use of the Modern Language Association (MLA) guidelines in citing your work is preferred, any popular methods will be accepted (be consistent). • There are no page limits to this assignment, but you must fully respond to the given assignments.

Overall, you must demonstrate your understanding of the theories for understanding slavery in the Americas as proposed in Week #4 Class Notes and the reading assignments.
