Write a position paper, 5-7 pages (1000-1500 words) in length in which you compare and contrast the views of two of the religions that originated in India: Jain, Buddhist, Hindu, or Sikh. In this assignment, you should debate between two alternative perspectives on life, as promoted by the two religions.
Some possible approaches you can take include the following:
A debate between two specific historical or mythical representatives of the traditions on a subject of mutual interest to them. For instance, you could create a debate between the Hindu god Krishna and the Buddha on the topic of karma, dharma or the caste system.
An application of the two contrasting views to a social, philosophical, ethical, psychological, or other type of “problem” or “situation” in the world. For instance, you could apply the Jain concept of ahimsa and the Sikh concept of just war to the current situation with ISIS.
A comparative paper in which you compare and contrast a philosophical view from western philosophy with the philosophical views of two religions of India. For instance, you could compare the Western philosophical notion of eudaimonia to the concept of dharma in Hinduism and the concept of dependent origination in Buddhism.
