Topic-

Trace the development of some significant aspect of society, culture, or government from its initial discussion/inception in the literature of the Ancients through the seventeenth century and how this development is treated in the literary texts of multiple cultures.

_ (MY PROPOSAL)_

In my research paper, I would like to dig deeper the development of literature, especially religious literature, books and other literary items of that nature.

I would like to discuss how different cultures, religions and regions of the world were affected by literature. In our modern world, many different cultures and religions have their own literature and holy books.

I would like to research and trace back a few centuries and analyze on how the holy books like the Bible, the Quran, the Torah were written and the messages in them were delivered to the people. I am going to discuss, analyze and compare the main literary items that were still developing in the 17th century.

It is to my great interest on how the society has interpreted the religious writings. In my research paper, I would like to describe how literature was used throughout the Ancient eras, and in addition on how this affected our modern way of life and today's mentality of our society.

Due to people speaking different languages, using different alphabets, following different religions, it is very interesting to me on how the development of our cultures occurred and how it is treated nowadays.

For instance, in the modern western society the literature context is closer to the Christian faith, while in regions like East Asia, Central Asia and the Middle East cultures and languages are more aligned with the Islamic faith and Hinduism.

It is very fascinating to me on how our modern society came to where it is now and how people became so different from each other, even though we were all created equally.
