 Write a 2-3 page paper in a reasonable font and observing all the normal rules of grammar and style. Be sure to base your answer to this question on primary sources that you read for last week. DO NOT rely on textbooks, introductions, lectures, non-primary websites, or any other source. Use specific examples from the sources that you read for last week. BE SURE to use footnotes to indicate where you got your examples!

Remember that the goal of this paper is to practice supporting your answer to the question asked with the primary sources that we have read in this class.  Make sure that you have a clear, one sentence answer to the question asked and that you provide primary source evidence for in the body of the essay.  Be sure that you explain how your evidence proves your main thesis.

The Question: For the past few weeks, you have been reading sources related to the Middle East between 1258 and 1900, and many of those sources focus on economics or activities related to making a living.  Many scholars focus on the changes that take place in the economy of the Middle East in the eighteenth and nineteenth century.  Compare the documents from weeks seven, eight, ten and eleven, and answer the following question:  What changes in the economy of the Middle East in the seventeen-hundreds and the eighteen-hundreds and what stays the same?

 

Remember that in order to show change or continuity, you have to show what things were like early and what things were like late; it is not enough to show one or the other, you need to show both.

 

Remember not to use introductions, footnotes, or outside sources.  This is an exercise in answering historical questions based on limited primary sources.  If you cannot say something based on the primary sources that we read in class, then do not say it.

 

Remember that economics takes in a lot of different aspects of life- so farming and agriculture are part of the economy, as well as trade, crafts, and manufacturing.  Finally, domestic work also counts as part of the economy, so look for things like weaving, preparing food, and being a housekeeper.

In the 18th century, printers used a letter called the “Long S.” The Long S looks like a lower-case “f.” If you look at the first page of the Letter III (page 13), read the first four words – “As I lately paffed.” Paffed is really “passed.” The lower-case s is rendered as an “f.” You will have to pay attention as you read.

1. Why, according to Whitefield, does God have a “quarrel” with the people of the southern colonies? (pg. 13)

2. To the treatment of what animals does Whitefield compare the treatment of slaves by their southern masters? (pg. 13)

Long paper prompt

 

 

Dear Students,

 

We are quickly approaching the end of the semester and we still have many things to cover. In the interest of getting caught up in a timely fashion, please note the following changes to the syllabus:

 

· The second short exam will take place Tuesday, November 29th. This will be a 40-minute exam to be taken at the beginning of class. It will be in the same format as the first exam: short answer and one 5-paragraph essay.

Longer Response Paper

 

Due: 12/13/2016

Worth: 10% of Final Grade

 

We have been studying the process of modernization in the Middle East and the emergence of new states as a result of this process. At the end of WWII, new states emerged in the Middle East (Turkey, Iraq, Transjordan, Saudi Arabia) and older ones were radically restructured (Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Iran). Choosing two of these states, write a paper that compares and contrasts the process of state-formation and modernization within your two selected states. Chronologically, begin with the immediate post-WWI period and in the early 2000s.

 

You should include the following considerations in your paper:

· How were your two states declared/formed immediately after WWI?

· What ideologies (nationalist, Marxist-socialist, secular, Islamist) were operating in your two states and under what conditions?

· What different roles did the various social classes play in the continued transformation of these states throughout the 20th century?

· Monarchy, notables, tribes, peasants, workers, military, religious scholars (‘ulema)

· What are the factors that have led these particular states to their current situation?

· Here, I want you to reflect on causation . Review Jules R. Benjamin’s A Student’s Guide to History for a definition of causation.

 

Paper requirements:

 

· 3-5 pages, double spaced, 12-point font, 1-inch margins

· Heading: include your name, class number, and date (single spaced)

· Footnotes in Chicago Style (see Benjamin, Ch. 10 for reference)
