Compare and contrast the society and culture of the Islamic Civilization and Christian Civilization (“Christendom”) during the period of time Strayer calls the “Third Wave” of civilization, and what is also sometimes called the “Middle Ages”.

World History Final

1. For the period 600 BCE to 1200 CE, compare and contrast the societies of Africa with the societies of the Americas. (This can be done by selecting several points of comparison, and then using just one or two societies from Africa and one or two from the Americas as examples to illustrate your points).

2. Compare and contrast the society and culture of the Islamic Civilization and Christian Civilization (“Christendom”) during the period of time Strayer calls the “Third Wave” of civilization, and what is also sometimes called the “Middle Ages” (approximately 600-1450 CE at its broadest). Note, this is not asking you to compare the religious beliefs of the religions of Islam and Christianity, but rather to focus on the broader society and culture of these two civilizations.

3. All of these chapters in Part 3 of your texbook talk about the impact of increasing connection between civilizations (whether through trade, exploration, or conquest) on cultures (including religions). What do you feel were the three most important cultural impacts of these growing connections, and why did you pick those?

4. First, explain how a relatively small number of Mongols come to create the world’s largest land empire. Second, think about Part 3 of your book (which includes Chapters 7-12): All of Part 3 deals with increasing interactions between civilizations as trade and commerce expanded, and about how the cultures of the world were changed because of this. So then, why is there a chapter about the Mongols in this section of the book? (Or put another way – describe the role the Mongols played in creating a more interconnected world).

Essay Assignment
You will write an essay on one of the five topics below. It should be about 2000 words (approximately 7-8 double spaced pages). It must be referenced effectively using Chicago Manual of Style Footnotes. After reading all the articles listed in the topic, you must decide on a thesis for your analysis. A thesis is not a topic statement nor a statement of fact. Rather your thesis should be a debatable position that deals with the broad patterns of continuity and change that link the articles together. In this regard, you should also draw upon your textbook to help you understand the broad patterns of change. Your thesis must address some aspect about the nature of changes that these articles illustrate and how you understand the pattern of response. Do not treat the assignment as a five-paragraph paper with each article as a case study. Rather, identify a theme that might link the articles and then use the evidence from the articles to illustrate that theme. In other words, use the articles for specific examples that justify your position and use your textbook as a source for background information.

What authority does the president have in creating foreign policy? Has it shifted over time? How much authority is wrapped up in his or her personality and popularity? What about the authority of Congress?

Foreign affairs and national defense issues

A common belief among academics is that foreign affairs and national defense issues have very little impact on presidential campaigns (Aldrich, et al 1989). One theory is that voters are more concerned about domestic issues – their own economic concerns, for example. Another theory (Aldrich, et al 1989) is that there is very little difference between the two major parties’ positions when it comes to America’s foreign policy and national defense. However, with the presidential election already under way, there are already distinct differences being drawn by the candidates on how they view the role of the president in crafting foreign policy and how closely he or she should work with Congress. Furthermore, each candidate has their own stance on how strongly engaged America should be internationally.

What authority does the president have in creating foreign policy? Has it shifted over time? How much authority is wrapped up in his or her personality and popularity? What about the authority of Congress? How have these powers shifted over two centuries of American history? Is there an ideal balance? Which branch should have the most power? How involved should the United States be internationally? Should we be the “world’s police”?
