In the last decade of the 500s BC, two new governmental ideas arose—one on the Italian peninsula and one on the Attica peninsula near the Aegean Sea. Discuss the rise and development of these political ideas: Republic and Democracy.

Explain the critical steps that it took in both locations to achieve what was created, and clearly show the basic governmental structures that both developed (how did they govern? What offices were in place?).  Finally, make an assessment on which, if either, would be a better form of government in today’s world.

Through visiting a religious site, and observing the actual rituals and expressions which unfold therein, students will gain experiential knowledge integral for developing a more nuanced understanding of religious forms of life. Students are expected to (1) offer a brief summary of their site visit ceremony or ritual, (2) analyze it in terms of the material covered in class, and (3) present their own response to the ceremony. Students may wish to write about their expectations prior and subsequent to the religious site visit. This assignment is also important for students to understand that religious traditions are not bound to textbooks or classrooms, but are all around
us.

“A central characteristic of modern terrorism is its symbolic, communicative and even theatrical nature.  With this in mind, compare and contrast two modern terrorist movements from the mid-nineteenth century to the present and examine the similarities and differences in how they imagined how violence could and even should promote their political aims.  Pay particular attention to terrorism as “tactic” rather than “ideology” and how this informed the strategic choices of those who embraced violence as an acceptable form of political expression.”
