Humanities-a woman’s legal and social standing from Egypt and Mesopotamia

In this assignment you will write a 1-page  Proposal, identifying a topic of your own choosing for a FINAL PROJECT paper DUE WEEK 11 that will be at least 1,500 words in length (5 6 pages in standard APA 12 point Times Roman font).

Your self-chosen topic is to trace the path of an issue from earliest times – through the eras and cultures we have studied – to today. One example might be: a woman’s legal and social standing from Egypt and Mesopotamia – through times (and Chapters) to this year’s news events…and all major points in between. Other topics might be exploration, migration, and culture clash, democracy vs. autocracy, or art and music as cultural expression.

The FINAL PROJECT (due Week 11), worth 185 points – together with your Proposal, 20 points (due Week 7) – is worth ALL your weekly Assignments combined.

Similar to an Abstract, your Proposal will introduce the main theme of your chosen topic and identify at least 5 points of reference (with page numbers) where your topic and the text intersect (preferably in early, middle, and late chapters), and include references to current news items and the effects your topic has on the world today.
