Choose ANY TWO of the primary sources assigned for this module (documents are attached, video and audio source links are below these instructions). Draw a conclusion about what their depictions of/attitudes towards murder tells us about social or ethical attitudes in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Support your conclusion with evidence drawn from the sources and from the assigned scholarly sources or lectures; if you feel you need more information, you may only use scholarly sources you find in the Rice Library databases.Your paper should be no longer than 1500 words (six pages double-spaced). In it, you will do the following;
Begin with a paragraph that identifies the source you will examine and concludes with an assertion about an ethical or social justice challenge evident in the source, and whether this situation is sustainable.
Paragraph 2 provides background information necessary to understand the source and the context in which it was produced.
Subsequent paragraphs:
Identify the language, events, ideas that are expressed in the sources that you think reflect ethical or social attitudes of their time, and explain why you think so.
Use secondary sources (assigned readings and lectures or scholarly articles you find on your own) as the basis for your interpretation of modern social or ethical attitudes – do not base your argument on your opinion. You must base it on the work of experts who have studied and researched the topic.
Reassert the key points you’ve made at the end to demonstrate how they support the conclusion.
