Trace the etymology of the ten words from their oldest roots (from whatever source) into Modern English. Show how the word developed or migrated through languages to get to English and their present meaning. Date its first usage and provide examples in your discussion of how it comes to its modern meaning.
Please italicize all examples if the word(s) in your prose. Reconstructed and unattested forms need to be marked with an asterisk (i.e. wolf from the Proto-Indo-European *wlkwos).

Please do not use recent words (eg. computer terms, terms involving space travel, etc.) as these will not tell an interesting story.
Avoid compounds since then you have to trace the word history of two words and only get credit for one.
Please format the paper as either a Word document or a PDF (not Google doc or Apple Pages).
Please use either Times New Roman or Cambria 12 point font and 1.5 spacing.
There are a number of sources you can use on-line, including The Oxford English Dictionary (available through the Madden library), worldwidewords.org, Wikipedia, Wonderopolis.org, and thoughtco.com among others. I recommend looking at least three references per word. Please cite where your information came from with each of your 10 entries and include a bibliography at the end of your paper.

Example entry: The modern English word hearse has a long and interesting history. It meant wolf
in Oscan, an Italic language related to Latin. It should be noted that, like in many Indo- European languages, the word for wolf was taboo in Oscan and the word hirpus is not what we expect given the reconstructed sound changes from the PIE root *wlkwos. From Oscan it was borrowed into Early Latin (ca. 300 BCE) as hirpex and the meaning shifted to mean a wolfs tooth specifically the fang, as this is the most salient feature of the wolf. In Mid-Latin (ca. 100 CE ) the meaning changes to mean a large rake, specifically the kind that was used to break up large dirt clods in fields. It then shifted again in Vulgar Latin to *herpica which means hay harrow. The salient feature for the word now being the triangular shape. This happens around 350 CE (and this is what it still means in modern Italian). After the Roman Empire fell in the west, the word continues to be used and we next find it in Old French as herse. Its meaning has shifted again to name the triangular frame for candles, specifically those used in a church. This use is recorded during the Carolingian Empire (ca. 800 CE). Its usage again shifts in Middle French to mean those candle holders, specifically placed over a coffin for funeral services This occurs by ca. 1200 CE (this is still what it means in Modern French). From Middle French it is borrowed into Middle English (ca. 1350 CE) as hearse and it again undergoes another meaning shift to mean the canopy placed over a coffin. In Early Modern English (ca. 1500 CE ), its meaning shifts to coffin bier, which is the frame on which a coffin is placed. By the mid-17th cen. (1650 CE), it has come to mean funeral carriage and with the advent of the automobile, in the 20th century, it comes to mean a funeral car.

Background and Dimensions of Islam
First, briefly summarize the historical, geographical, cultural, and philosophical foundations of Islam.
Second, identify an important religious doctrine, or mythology, or ritual, or symbol and then explain how it fits into this religion.
Third, speculate about how your choice expresses the uniqueness of this religion.
Understanding Beliefs Not Our Own
The purpose of this discussion is for you to develop an appreciation and understanding the diversity of religious traditions by practicing effective communication skills in a cooperative and collaborative way with people who have different religious beliefs than our own. To do this, you will imagine, through role playing, that you have beliefs that are not our own.

First, imagine that you are in a conversation with a practitioner of Islam and ask that person a question about his or her religious beliefs.
Second, answer the question you posed as you would imagine a practitioner of this religion would answer the question.
Third, collaborate with your classmates to understand the perspective of the person who is answering the question by providing supplemental responses to the answers provided.
Remember, your goal is to facilitate effective communication between people with different beliefs and so you are engaging in role playing. Any ideas that you get from your reading of the textbook should be referenced with a page number.

Examining Islamic Sacred Texts
The uncited revelations of the Hadith are viewed differently by different religions. Compare and contrast some of the discussions in the Hadith to similar topics in the Quran. Are there significant differences? Can they be reconciled?

Find 2 or 3 critical essays (see complete instructions below) and skim through them. Note: you do not have to read the entire article–just read the abstract, if there is one, and read the first page or so to get a sense of the overall arguments that the respective critics are making. Did reading them make you change your mind about anything? Do you disagree with the critics at any point? Then:

Write a brief paragraph detailing why you think these articles are relevant to your paper, (feel free to use a quotation from each article, if necessary).
Be sure to correctly cite the article and the text.
Scroll to the bottom of the articles to see their MLA 8th edition source citations.
Copy and paste the citations below your paragraph and format them per MLA style (12 pt. font, double-spaced, etc.).
Instructions for Finding Critical Essays: For this assignment, you will find at least two (no more than 3) critical essays about the text you have chosen to write about for Formal Essay 3. Use the Essex County College library’s databases, such as Literature Online (ProQuest). You will need to use key word searching to search for critical essays that are: (1) specifically about the text and/or author; (2) scholarly and peer-reviewed. See the PDF on “Steps to Finding Scholarly Critical Articles Using Literary Databases” right below.
DO NOT USE SUMMARIES OR OVERVIEWS OR THEATER REVIEWS.

Again, these must be scholarly, critical articles–go to the Essex County College electronic databases. You will need to use key word searching.

Try typing in the title of your text and its author (EX: Kafka The Metamorphosis) as search terms. Articles will come up. Read the abstracts (usually a one or two sentence summary at the beginning of the article) or the first page or two to ensure that the articles are relevant to your chosen theme.

DO NOT USE SUMMARIES OR OVERVIEWS.

IMPORTANT: Make sure that you include the signal phrase (title of text and author) in your brief paragraph.

NOTE: If you are writing about a novel, you must italicize its title. Do not use quotation marks, and do not use bold type. For critical essays, you must use quotation marks around the essay’s full title–only italicize the portion that contains the novel’s title, if applicable. For example: “Character Development in Kafka’s The Metamorphosis.”

See the PDF on “MLA In-text Citation Style” to ensure that you use the proper formatting.

IMPORTANT: Make sure that you include the signal phrase (title of text and full name of author) in your opening paragraph, and that you directly reference the text with at least one quote, properly formatted for MLA.

DRAW SPECIFICALLY FROM THE TEXT. DO NOT PLAGIARIZE. DO NOT REFERENCE OUTSIDE SOURCES (Google, Wikipedia, student guides, encyclopedias, dictionaries, etc.) FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT.

WRITING ASSIGNMENT #2: Cultural Values and Cultural Change

A central focus of Writing Women’s Worlds is the extended patrilineal family structure of the Bedouin, the ground of everyone’s experiences. These family groups are “the nexus of individual identity and personal development, and the object of great love and loyalty, along with inevitable conflict.” (p.xvi). This was true for both women and men.

We have talked about how values are embedded in social structures, and social structures are infused with values.

We have also talked about how individuals inhabit these social structures differently, and push against them when they are constraining; we have talked about how social structures change as circumstances change and the old ways don’t work so well anymore.

Please describe how Kamla is working both within and against the traditional Bedouin family structure; what she insists on maintaining and what she would like to change in terms of the way Bedouin girls and women are able to live their lives. What does she want that she cannot have within the traditional family structure, and what does she have to fight hardest against to achieve those things? Please be as specific as you can be with respect to the social structures and cultural values that we have discussed: patrilineality, polygyny, patrilateral parallel cousin marriage, honor and shame. (approx. 3 pages)
Do you think WWW succeeds in challenging the trope of “oppressed Muslim women” that Abu-Lughod wants so much to counter ? What in this book enabled you to see Bedouin women in a more nuanced way ? What seemed to reinforce those stereotypes for you ? What would you want to know that would help you to understand the experience of these women better ? (approx. 1 page)
As before, I would like to receive a 4-page essay in response to these two questions, double spaced with plausible margins. The essay is due before class on

– ARHS 1300 From Mummies to Gladiators: Art and People of the Ancient World Ethical Reflection Paper Assignment Worth: 20% of grade

Consists of: 4-5page analysis of how and why artworks from the ancient Mediterranean and Middle East have been used to bolster the notion of Western civilization, and the ethical problems with that construction.

DUE:on Canvas at 11:59pm (one minute before midnight) on Friday, April 30 LENGTH: 4-5pages, double spaced, one inch margins on all sides, 12 point Times New Roman font

ASSIGNMENT: The ethical issues that this course engages with are deeply relevant to our modern society, in which the legacy of centuries of racism, sexism, and other social ills continue to be felt. Artworks, architecture, and aesthetic styles from the ancient Mediterranean and Middle East -particularly, although not exclusively, Greece and Rome -have been used as exclusionary weapons of oppression, presenting a vision of”civilization”, “good taste”, and “the Classics”, that marginalizes the histories and cultures from elsewhere in the world. At the same time, this construction has absorbed the objects, histories, and in some cases literal bodies (as in the case of Egyptian mummies) ofPeople of Color in the past into a totalizing narrative of white European superiority. This paper asks you to analyze one of the many ethical problems that have been created through the use the artworks from the ancient Mediterranean and Middle East as support for a notion of Western civilization.Through your course readings (the Ethics Readings) and discussions in section this semester, you have critically engaged with several specific topics that relate to ethics and the study of the ancient Mediterranean and Middle Eastern world. For this paper, you will expand upon one of these topics.The paper consists of two sections. These two sections should be united by an introductory paragraph and thesis statement, which convincingly states your main argument in the paper.

The two sections should be followed by a concluding paragraph that summarizes your main points and restates your argument.

Part 1(2 pages): First, you will choose your specific topic from among the following prompts:
– 1.How have the roots of the academic discipline of archaeology as an aspect of Northern European imperialism and colonialism impacted the ways in which we study and understand ancient art today? What are the ethical problems with this?
– 2.What are some of the ethical problems involved with the display of ancient artifacts and/or human remains in museums, particularly in museums located outside the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern region?
– 3.How has modern racism and/or modern sexism influenced, and biased, our understanding of ancient artworks and peoples?Use the prompt question as a jumping off point for a thorough exploration of the topic. You should not speak only in generalities: multiple, concrete examples of artworks, issues, and case studies are expected. You are encouraged to refer to the course readings and discussions; you are also welcome to do external research.

You must cite a minimum of three academic sources(library books or articles), which should be fully cited in a bibliography at the end of your paper.The ethics readings discussed in class can be used.To count as an academic source, it must be an in-print scholarly book or article that could be found at the library.You can access the source online (such as through Google Books or Jstor) but the book or article must appear in print somewhere. All sources should be cited in a consistent academic citation style.You are also welcome to cite scholarly websites, but these will NOT count for your minimum of three library references (Smu library).

Part 2 (2 pages): Once you have established the parameters of the ethical issues you are considering, the second part of your paper should extrapolate from that academic argument to a real-life application. Knowing what you know about these ethical issues, how will you respond and what will you think about the next time:You visit a museum with ancient art on display?A friend asks you if you enjoyed this Western Art course?A family member encourages you to watch a TV show about ancient aliens?A colleague mentions that Egyptian mummies and Greek statues are better off in American and northernEuropean museums where they are safer?You read an article or social media post that straightforwardly compares the United States to ancient Greece or Rome?Someone casually remarks that Dallas Hall is beautiful because it is classic?etc., etc. (You are welcome to imagine other potential real-life scenarios)You must discuss at least one potential real-life scenario of a discussion of or encounter with the art/culture of the ancient Mediterranean and MiddleEast (either from the list above or of your own invention) AND include a personal reflection on how you would use the knowledge gained in this class to respond to that scenario.The scenario you choose should link to the ethical issue discussed in the first half of your paper.
3. In this section of the paper, you should reflect on how you will use the ethical knowledge that you have gained in this course to better live as a member of a just and ethical society a society in which the ancient past is not used as a weapon of oppression or marginalization, and in which the full humanity of all people (past and present) is respected.

Paper Structure
1: Introductory paragraph, which summarizes the ethical issue you will discuss and includes a strong thesis statement, which begins In this paper, I will argue that…
2. 2-page discussion of one of the three ethical issues outlined in the prompt, including the citation of a minimum of three academic sources.
3.2-page discussion of a potential real-life scenario involving a discussion of or encounter with the art/culture of the ancient Mediterranean and Middle East, and a personal reflection on your response to that scenario.
4. Concluding paragraph, which summarizes the main points of your paper and expands upon your thesis statement.
