NOVEMBER 2009: Topic-- The Belief Systems of Previous Civilizations
Our objective is to build a great civilization. This is why we are studying the history of the great (and not so great) civilizations. We want to know what ideas, laws, customs, traditions, and values we should avoid or incorporate into our new nation .
Now here is the question for November: Should we study the belief systems and religions of previous civilizations? Why or why not?
Remember that the Hebrew civilization that we are now studying was distinct in its monotheistic belief system which led to its laws, values, and traditions. Yet, the Hebrews were surrounded by nations that practiced polytheism and animism which played a large role in the Hebrews' demise. Perhaps we should study these other belief systems to understand the nature of man and the nature of the religions that he creates. This might give us tremendous insight into mind of man when it functions in opposition to the will and mind of God.
WEEK ONE AND TWO:READ THE SECTION IN USEFUL LINKS TITLED BELIEF SYSTEMS. OVER THE NEXT TWO WEEKS YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR READING EACH OF THE 10 TABS (DIFFERENT RELIGIONS) ON THAT SITE. BE SURE TO WRITE DOWN AND DEFINE EVERY WORD IN BOLD PRINT IN EACH OF THE SECTIONS.


MAJOR RESEARCH PROJECT:
Create the best legal code possible for a new civilization. Your code must have a preamble (introduction) in which you state the basis for the law's authority and the actions or values that you are seeking either to promote or to prevent.

While you are free to create your own laws, you must consult and refer to the Code of Hammurabi, the Mosaic Law Code, the Massachusetts Body of Liberties (1641), The Twelve Tables of Roman Law, the Law codes of Draco and Solon, the English Bill of Rights, and the American Bill of Rights.

You must state the origin, meaning, and purpose of each law you select. Remember that your code must clearly delineate the social and economic values that you are seeking to promote and to protect.
Finally (or firstly) you must decide whether Religion and/or Natural law will be the basis for your legal precepts.

Your paper must be at least 5 pages typed (1.5 spacing or normal Word document spacing)
You must use MLA style citations. We will go over this in class.

Due on Thursday, December 10th 2009. However, you must complete and submit at least 1.5 typed pages each Friday beginning on Nov. 20th.
