1,000-1,400 words. Double-spaced text, 12 pt. Times New Roman font, 1-inch margins. Author-Date reference format for sources you cite (for example, Szczurek 2020)
The questions for this response is:
How did ancient societies think of the relationship between the individual and the State? How does this compare to contemporary ways of thinking about this relationship today?
In starting to answer these questions, you will choose 2-3 texts from Unit 1 to guide your thinking and one example from our contemporary world. Which topics or themes interest you most?
In thinking about political theory today, you can briefly reference current-day events, debates, problems and how we imagine and theorize about them.
You do not need to try to cover or mention all the themes and ideas discussed during Unit 1. The goal is not to definitively answer the question by the end of the response, but to explore some possible answers to the question, and why they make sense to you.
Tips
· Imagine you are at a party, where the thinkers we read and discussed are in attendance; everyone is hanging out and talking. Choose 2-3 people we read or heard from and ask them the research question above – how would they respond?
· Choose the texts and thinkers based on your personal curiosity – who do you want to talk to more? Think about more?
· When in doubt, go for depth, over breadth: include fewer texts, authors, or themes than you might initially think you need.
· Balance between your own thoughts and ideas, and the thoughts and ideas of your chosen authors and texts. If you were having a live conversation with these writers and thinkers, is everyone getting a somewhat-equal say? Or is someone dominating the conversation?
· Use your notes from your own original reading and our live class discussions
· Reference your notes from the Week 2 lecture on the Origins of Political Thought

You will have the opportunity to identify connections between Old Testament and
You will have the opportunity to identify connections between Old Testament and New Testament texts. Then you will have the chance to reflect on those connections.
The assignment will be organized into two parts with required information below. Each section should be around 375 words each, with a total word count of about 750 words. APA Format.
Part I: Articulating the Christian perception of the place of love within the Scriptures. In this section, you will be presenting, to the best of your ability, how Christianity would attempt to articulate ideas based upon your Scripture selections.
Identify and explain how one passage from the Old Testament and one passage from the New Testament are interrelated and conducive to discussing the Christian understanding of love. Note that the passages do not necessarily need to be talking about love overtly. They may be passages, for example, which themselves support the understanding of God’s love and loving activities.
Identify a second, underlying or related theme within your selected passages that is theologically connected to the theme of love that is found in the passages you selected for step 1. Explain how this theme is related to and supports the topic of love in the passages selected.
Identify and explain how Verbum Domini or Dei verbum contains elements which help to make sense of your presentation of the scripture passages. This section will require at least the use of two quotations with effort spent thoroughly explaining your choices.
Part II
Formulate your own response to the integration you articulated in part 1. You may agree with it and add arguments or disagree with it and consider critical arguments. This second section will begin with a thesis statement in the form of either: “I agree…” or “I disagree…”
In this second part you will integrate your own understandings of God, yourself, and the world with the material in the course and specifically your selected passages.
In this section, you will need to consider and explain at least one counterargument to your rationale. You must respond to the counterargument and explain your response.

Creative Women in Contemporary Culture
For this week’s forum question, review the article “Taking the Measure of Sexism: Facts, Figures, and Fixes,” on the Required Resources page for the course. Next, explore the National Museum of Women in the Arts linked hereLinks to an external site..
If you navigate to “Explore” on the National Museum of Women in the Arts site, you will find artist profiles of contemporary women artists, but do not limit yourself to that section. The museum supports photographers, film directors, videographers, writers, and musicians as well as visual artists, so also navigate “learn” and “advocate” sections of the website to learn more about diverse women creating culture today.
After reviewing these resources, identify one contemporary (still living) creative woman with whom you were previously unfamiliar and discuss her contributions to contemporary culture. In your discussion, compare her visibility with creative women from other eras, such as the Renaissance, Victorian, or even the modern period. How do women continue to face challenges with visibility or representation according to your resources this week?
