Question: Introduction to Humanities SocioculturalUnderstanding Assignment Guidelines

Purpose: For this assignment, you will address how we can become more responsive to our local, national and international communities. You should use "I" or "we" in this paper.

Your assignment will answer these four questions:

1. How does studying the humanities (defined as the visual, performing and literary arts, philosophy, and religion) increase your understanding of culture beyond your individual experience? You should address how you identify yourself (ethnicity-such as the region and family background, your religious and/or political belief system, class status, etc.) and compare (find likenesses and differences) yourcultural identity with one or moreof the cultures you have studiedin class so far.

2. What have you learned about the different kinds of societal groups (band, tribes, chiefdoms, states)? What causes the shifts from one to the next and how did those groups organize themselves, work together, allocate resources, make decisions and punish those who had gone against the values and beliefs of the group? How does the environment shape these cultures (for example, make one type of group become the next form of group)? You might want to focus on one group in detail, using examples of artifacts we have looked at in class while briefly comparing it to the group either before it or after it.

3. How does reflecting on the sacrifices made by previous generations and the privileges you enjoy as an individual make you more willing to help others who do not have those privileges? Do you believe that those with more opportunities to succeed should be morally obligated to help those who do not?What might the next generations think about our society if we don't?

4. How can you create positive changes for your local community, the nation, and international communities? What might those changes look like in action? Have you engaged in these changes? If not, what has kept you from making these changes? What might be some personal benefits of being engaged? What happens when individuals don't engage with their communities? Why is it important to engage in positive actions that affect local and global communities? You might want to consider how global conflicts affect our national society, think aboutthe causes of societal collapse, and what the future problems for humanitymight be.
