1 Current Issues Student Name REL/133 Date Dr. David Fraser 2 Current Issues The first paragraph of the manuscript is the formal introduction and should forecast the essay. It consists of four key elements: a hook, thesis statement, supporting sentences, and a transition sentence. The hook is designed to grab the reader’s attention. For this assignment, it could be about the impact of religion in modern culture. Consider using statistics, a brief quote, or anecdote. The thesis statement is one, declarative statement that reflects the main idea of the entire manuscript; it is the cornerstone of the paper, so give it careful thought. Supporting sentences prepare the reader for the manuscript by identifying key points to be explored. Avoid phrases such as, “This paper will discuss…” A key to successful supporting sentences is to examine the outline of the paper and create two or three sentences that cluster these ideas in a fluid manner. This paper has three key objectives. The transition sentence is the hand off to the next paragraph. For more details about the introduction, as well as an example, visit the Center for Writing Excellence > Tutorials & Guides > Essay Development [heading] > Guidelines for Writing Academic Essays > Organizing the Essay > Writing the Introduction. Comparison of Eastern Religions Pick one of the Eastern religions studied in the course (i.e., Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Daoism, Shinto, or Sikhism). In approximately 100-150 words provide the highlights of the religion (keep it high level). In this paragraph compare the religion you selected in the previous paragraph any of the others (but just pick one). For example, if you choose Hinduism in the previous paragraph, compare it only to one other religion, such as Jainism. Focus on the significant differences, such as theology, soteriology, concept of reincarnation, etc. This section should be about 100 words. Modern World 3 This section should explain how the religion you chose in the first section deals with challenges in the modern world. For example, are the requirements too stringent? Are there no missionaries to advance the religion? How does it respond to secularism? Cite your source of information using APA. The paragraph should be approximately 100 words. Women in Religion The last section should summarize the role of women in the religion you chose. Address how women were originally viewed compared to the role women play today. Be sure to cite a source. This section should be approximately 100 words. Conclusion The conclusion is a single paragraph that summarizes the paper much like the introduction prepared the reader. Restate the thesis to remind the reader of the main idea. Summarize the highlights, but do not introduce anything new. End with some final thoughts or a pronouncement the leaves the reader pondering. 4 References For this assignment, you need a minimum of five academic sources. Your textbook is an excellent reference for starters. Wikipedia, dictionaries, and encyclopedias are not appropriate academic sources and will not count toward the required minimum of five academic sources. Notice that entries should be in hanging indent (the reverse of a typical paragraph indentation). This template is already formatted for hanging indent. Just click and type; the text will automatically wrap and reflect the correct indentation. Consider using the Reference and Citation Generator at the Center for Writing Excellence. Scripture or sacred text of any religion are not considered academic sources and therefore do not count as one of the required five sources. In academic circles, they are considered literary sources, but not academic. Entries should be listed in alphabetical order using the author’s last name.
