Yes, it's for another paper. But there's only two more papers for this semester so bare with me.
I need to write a 4-5 page paper on Islam. The first two need to be about something that I am unclear on and am awaiting a response from the professor. The next two are supposed to be an interview experience report with a Muslim, but my dialogue is going to be on Wednesday. The last part of the paper, one or two pages, is supposed to be on "the spiritual difficulties of our generation" and we are to "remember to distinguish social, economic, and political problems from spiritual ones". Hmm...the assignment also states that next "write about the resources that you find in the religions we have studied"...write about the resources I find? I wonder if it's a "what did you take away from this class" type of thing, or if it's more of a "these religions all support that the spiritual/economical/political/social problems that our generation will face is...". Hmm..
I suppose I can start doing an outline on the very last part of this paper, I'll start that here. I know I still didn't do that research paper outline (!!!!!) but the professor kindly extended the due date until Wednesday because of the computer issue. So here we go:
Stress, conflict, peace, war, poverty, distractions, economy, Middle East, healthcare, family.
Those were the main ideas apparently. Let's see if I can narrow it down to just two-page material:
Conflict and war come hand in hand...as does the economy and healthcare. So how they all conenct:
Conflict=>war=>poverty=>bad economy=>low health=>need healthcare=>to keep family alive=>very stressful=>need no distraction=>to reduce stress.
Right...but how do these help me in getting some ideas for difficulties that we face? Well...so far the difficulties I'm noticing are...
Conflict (social kind, like gossipping), war (moral), poverty (moral), healthcare and social security (economical and political), finding G-d (spiritual).
Of course, I can basically use up all the types of difficulties and say that war and poverty are the bigges spiritual, moral, economical and political difficulties that we all face today. And that is going to be my thesis for the one or two page paper.
Woo!
