SOOOOOOOOOOO, I just found out today, well remembered well basically I forgot I had a 5 PAGE essay due tomorrow. I was always like I got time, but now I have no time. So who has essays done? xD. That I can read and get ideas from. What is religion? Now that you have encountered three religions- primal, Confucianism and Taoism - I want you to develop a defintion of religion based on your empirical study of those three religious traditions. Choose three shared elements or features of these religions that you consider essential to them. Be sure to explore these features across all three religions. Ideally, your defining elements or features will emerge from your study so far (try not to impose your own, preconceived categories on these traditions). If you get stuck, do not consult Webster! Huston Smith offers two very nice discussions of what constitutes religion in his chapters on Confucianism and Buddhism. The best essays will draw not only on the descriptions in Smith, but will provide illustrations from Van Voorst's collection of scriptures. Remember to advance a claim, make an argument, and support that argument with evidence from our readings. That's the topic :(. |

Make a plan and 'refer back to previous points' (in english repeat yourself to waste space lol). Only do 3 or 4 pages or make it look like you did 5 pages but you lost the last two that can buy you some time lol. If you have to give it in by email or on ur USB or something, get a picture and rename it essay.doc so it won't open properly and you can act all disapointed. To summerise: Do what your supposed to do but not well Do less than you are supposed to do Or do nothing lol |
