Humanities Question

DIRECTIONS:

SYNTHETIC: “Greek heroes are not primarily defined by their personal qualities, intentions, or a desire to ‘do good’ for society as a whole or just other people. Rather, Greek heroes are primarily defined as a socio-economic class or status group that asserts itself as being the dominant group in society, over other groups that are likewise defined in terms of labor, gender, ancestry, and values.” Defend this argument using the primary sources from Weeks 11, 12, 13, and 14. Your paper will be graded according to the questions in the previous prompt (see bullet points).

synthetic: synthetic papers (from a Greek word for “putting together”) take up and complete a project that has already been begun (in this case by me, the writer of the prompts). 

Defend this argument using the primary sources from Weeks 11, 12, 13, and 14. Your paper will be graded according to the questions in the previous prompt (see bullet points above). 

does it have an original argument clearly outlined in the first paragraph? 

do each of the subsequent paragraphs contain a sub-argument that advances the overall argument? 

does it cite (with quotation or paraphrase) all of the primary sources from Weeks 11, 12, 13, and 14? 

does the evidence it cites actually support the argument?

does it show that you have read these primary sources and thought about them? 

does it avoid statements that are so big in scope that they can’t be defended by the evidence from Weeks 11, 12, 13, and 14? 

is the work your own?
