Francis of Assisi

Length: 5-pages. Paper should be double spaced, left-justification and in Times New Roman or any regular font.

This is not a research paper, but rather an overview of the book and its main themes and as such there are a number of questions you should address. You should have an introduction and a well-organized analysis of the subject.

Part 1

Monasticism by Francis’s time was many centuries old and had gone through a variety of reforms, so what if anything is new with the Franciscan movement? How did Francis’s brand of ascetic monasticism fit with other traditions encountered in the class? Describe Francis’s relationship with the Papacy. Did Francis achieve his goals with the new Order?

Part 2

The second part of the assignment is a ‘critique’ of the book (Francis of Assisi, Performing the Gospel Life, by Lawrence Cunningham. Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the book as you see them. Are there sections that seem incomplete or unclear? Are there any unanswered questions? What are some of the limitations of a study such as this? Although the author is an ‘expert’ or a ‘specialist’ and you are not, you still need to learn to read with a ‘critical eye.’ Keep in mind that a ‘critique’ does not necessarily mean a bad or negative review.

Use only the PDF attached

Format and Citation – You should use the Chicago Manual of Style format. A condensed form of this can be found in Kate L. Turabian’s A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations.

Module 5

George Berkeley (pronounced “barkley”), in his subjective idealism, claimed the only things we could be sure of are that we have perceptions and that God must also perceive to explain our common perceptions, and that we could “know” nothing else. The positivists, such as Charles Sanders Peirce and Karl Popper, claimed that we could only know our sense perceptions from our five senses and nothing else.  Others, such as Immanuel Kant, tried to take a middle route, claiming that some things were known through empiricle, observable data, but other truths existed but were difficult to study, as the nature of such perceptions was not verifiable.

In 500 words, contrast these points of view using the course materials and any other resources you may find, and explain your position on this issue.  Is reality something that we learn about via our senses or some other way (if so what)?  Or do we learn in multiple ways?  How is such knowledge obtained?

Era of Hope Discussion

/in /by

Instructions:

Read the following Discussion question carefully, then submit an original answer.  Your answer should be at least a few sentences to a paragraph in length.  There is no “right” or “wrong” answer, but your opinion should be well-reasoned and based on fact.  (no references needed) this is just an opinion..

During the 1960s, the Space Program, and particularly the 1969 Apollo moon landing were viewed as historical milestones of immense proportions.  Subsequent historical accounts often downplay these events, relating their significance chiefly to political events such as the Cold War or the Kennedy administration.  Which approach do you think is more accurate?  Will space exploration ever regain the public attention and interest it held during and immediately following the “Era of Hope?”  Why or why not?
