The religions of salvation that came into existence during the ancient
and early medieval ages) dominated their respective societies for the
next thousand years�from 500 C.E. to 1500 C.E.
Write a paper analyzing the influence of Buddhism, Christianity, and
Islam on the societies where they became the predominant religions. Your
analysis should cover the way the religions influenced the political
and social systems, cultural and artistic traditions, and learning and
science in these societies
Introduction: The paper should have an introduction (which will contain
your thesis sentence) wherein you will lay out the parameters of your
analysis; a main body, which will contain your analysis of the three
civilizations; and a conclusion, wherein you will explain how your
analysis supports your thesis.
Thesis: A thesis is a statement that provides an overarching argument.
You should have a thesis sentence in the first paragraph. Your paper
will lack focus without a clearly stated thesis at the beginning.
Analysis: Your analysis should back up your thesis. Without supporting
analysis, your thesis and conclusions will read like opinions. That is
not good for a research assignment. Remember that history is the
interpretation of evidence and not editorial opinion.Your
analysis MUST be based on supporting evidence drawn from your sources,
not the analysis and conclusions from the sources. It is YOUR analysis
that counts in this paper.
Quotes: Try to paraphrase material from your sources and avoid quoting the sources excessively.
Citations: You must cite all material you draw from your sources, not
just the direct quotes, using footnotes. All citations must follow the
Chicago Manual of Style.
Writing style: WRITE IN FORMAL ENGLISH, and choose your words carefully.
Write in short, crisp, grammatically correct sentences. Aim for
clarity. Writing in the active voice rather than in the passive voice
helps in improving clarity. Pay attention to paragraph transitions.
Finally, REVISE the paper before submission.
–Another thing my teacher mentioned was to not use wikipedia and
suggested other sources. google Scholar was the only one he mentioned
but can take sources from books, magazines, and journals too.
Hi, I was told that I can give you my online school credentials to view
my class materials and database to help with the paper. That would be
great because my teacher says he needs at least a few citations from our
library database at UMUC. Please let me know if you have any questions
or problems getting in. Thank you!
