This week we are reading a play. “Trifles” by Susan Glaspell was written in 1016. Glaspell also wrote a short story version of the play under the title “A Jury of Her Peers.” Your packet has both versions. Your task is to read the play and the story and to compare the genres. Which genre, in your opinion, is more effective? What’s the difference? It will help you a lot if you did research on the genres to get some basic ideas on how the play is different from other genres, what it’s advantages and limitations are. Another issue you might want to address is the title. Which title works better? There is really no right or wrong answer to that, but whatever your opinion is you need to provide argumentation for it. You will write three pages literature essay as always.

Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which the student answers the following three (3) items using headers to separate each item: 1. Discuss either two (2) civil liberties or two (2) civil rights events (past or current) that have influenced a sense of social responsibility in the American government today. Provide examples to support your answer. Note: In your response, consider how the events influenced the way state, local or national political leaders or agencies responded in a socially responsible or ethical manner toward the community. 2. Discuss two (2) media events (past or present) that have positively and or negatively influenced the public’s opinion of a government agency. Provide examples to support your answer. Note: Consider how a news story or media coverage of an event positively or negatively changed the public’s opinion (or perception) regarding how responsible a government agency should be towards meeting the needs of its customers; i.e. the American people. 3. Discuss two (2) differences between the Republican and Democratic parties that may have an ethical impact (positively or negatively) on the American people. Provide examples to support your answer. Note: Consider the different ideals, values, morals, and/or goals held by the Republican and Democratic parties, and their different views on the ethically or morally right way to govern and make the best policies for the people they serve. Determine if your example presents any type of ethical concerns for or against the public interest of the American people. In your research, you cannot use Wikipedia, online dictionaries, Sparknotes, Cliffnotes, or any other Website do that does not qualify as an academic resource. Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements: • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format.

Top 5 Historical Figures in World Civilization (from 3,000 BCE to 1500 CE) “In his book Letters on the English, Voltaire relates that during his stay in England, in 1726, he overheard some learned men discussing the question: who was the greatest man – Caesar, Alexander, Tamerlane, or Cromwell? One speaker maintained that Sir Isaac Newton was beyond a doubt the greatest man. Voltaire agreed with this judgment for, “It is to him who masters our minds by the force of truth, and not to those who enslave them by violence, that we owe our reverence.” Michael H. Hart, The 100, p 26. The term project for this course this semester will focus on constructing a ranked list of five of the most influential individuals who lived between 3,000 BCE and 1500 CE. Select only one individual from each century covered in this course. Individuals selected should be the most influent individuals of that century, supported by an analysis of the significant contributions that these individuals have made in the ways that they have shaped lives and transformed world civilization. Ground rules 1) Eligibility a. Only real persons are eligible for consideration. Mythological and legendary figures are automatically disqualified. 2) Anonymous persons are disqualified. a. Inventors of the wheel, fire, writing, etc. are excluded from consideration. 3) Influence a. Only individuals who have had influence on the course of world history are eligible for consideration. i. Neither fame, nor talent, nor nobility of character is the same thing as influence. ii. Influence is not always benevolent. Evil, sinister, and vile individuals have had an equal (if not greater) impact on world history as kind and humanitarian individuals. iii. Influence is not the same as importance. The ranked list of individuals should reflect who has the greater influence, not which one has greater importance. 1. For example, if you were to rank all of the American presidents by order of influence, which would you put first? Which would be last? Remember that influence is not the same as importance. 4) Only one (1) individual may be selected from each century. Centuries selected do not have to be sequential (i.e., 500 BCE, 400 BCE, 300 BCE, etc.) Structure Each historical figure will be arranged by the century they lived in and will be followed by a short synopsis that explains who they were (historical research), where they were located (historical geography), what their achievements were (historical research), and why you have believe they deserve to be more considered in influencing the course of human development in their century (historical analysis). The term paper must be submitted typed, double-spaced and between 1000 to 2500 words in length formatted in accordance with MLA guidelines. Papers shorter than 1000 words will not be accepted for credit. Papers should follow this format: 1) List of Individuals (in the centuries they lived) Include lifespan (birth and death) 2) Introduction Thesis statement -Define “influence” (Not just the word, but explain what unique characteristic these individual from your list share that makes them “influential”. This will create a more cohesive comparison that becomes the base for the thesis statement) 3) Body Analysis of Individuals (organized by individual) 4) Conclusion Out of all of these individuals, explain who you consider to be the most influential and support your justification. Compare and contrast individuals from you list, to fully support your conclusion. 5) Work Cited Be sure to include in-text citations! You are required to have at least 3 legitimate scholarly sources for each individual in your ranked list. Of these sources, only one may be an Internet source.
