Be sure your paper has a clear thesis. It's almost impossible to get credit for logic or analysis if your thesis isn't clear.

Be sure to give your paper an interesting title. A good title reinforces your thesis and will often help the reader see the logic/organization of your paper.

Instructions:

Select either Hinduism or Buddhism. Explain how Ninian Smart's Seven Dimensions of Religion (link below) are expressed in that faith tradition. Identify what you see as a unifying theme for the dimensions, and cite an example of how this theme is present.  Include research about the rites, rituals, sacred writings, and in the emotional, social, ethical and material expression of the religion.
