day 9/25 - paper below due on day 9/28: worth 100 pts
Based on information from text readings and in-class info, write the following essay (you have license to format as you see fit –
feel free to be creative, but make sure the info is accurately reflective of the faiths each person represents, and is relevant to the
scenario provided). Otherwise, have fun!!!!
In some present-day American town, a stumbling, tattered, homeless drunk staggers down the street and falls face first into
a puddle, at a street corner where Hanfeizi, Confucius, Laozi, the Buddha, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, Krishna, and ???
happen to be standing. Describe the conversation they might have about how and why things may have gone wrong for this
poor soul, in what ways current American society and culture plays a role in his condition, and how he could turn his life
around.
Again, the style is up to you, but focus on what each might recommend as techniques and suggestions about both how to help
this individual, and about American society in general. Don’t cite texts they would get their ideas from – focus more on the ideas
themselves as they would apply to this situation.
This paper should be roughly 4 pages*, passed in on google docs (named “Period - Last Name - Religion Paper”) and then
shared with me (can edit)
