Hey fella's...as part of my major I was forced to take a Western Civ II class, and as expected, I hate it. For the assignment we have to answer at least two of the four topics. I'm not looking for anyone to actually write an essay for me (although I certainly won't turn it down), all I request is some good ideas and suggestions. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Here are the questions...
1) Has your perspective toward one particular topic, event or era in the history of Western Civilization (as we've studied it) changed at all? If so, in what way has it changed? Rely on specific examples to support your response.
2) What, in your opinion, are some of the most significant changes that have occurred in Western Civilization since the era of the Renaissance and in what areas do you feel have we not progressed as we should? Provide specific examples.
3) Based on the topics we've examined in this course, do you believe that there will still be a distinctly "Western" world in the twenty-first century, or will the West "shrink" as a result of globalization? Provide specific examples to support your conclusions.
4) At the conclusion of this course, how do you see yourself as a student of history? Do you feel differently about yourself, history (in general), or the place of the United States in the much larger "Western" world than when you began the course and, if so, in what ways? Be specific in your response.
(For anyone reluctant in helping because I should be doing this on my own, please know I am a biology major so this class has nothing to do with what I want to do and would just allow me more time for studying things that actually matter!)
