R W2A2

Main Assignment

Remember, this prompt needs to be no less than 350 words.  You must respond to one classmate, as well (150 words).  I am picky about word count, so please don't write less than the required amount (you can always write more).

Also, include two quotes from the readings.  Please write in the topic "Questions for Week 2," if you have any questions.

Please select either Prompt 1 or Prompt 2 Prompt 1: Religion and secular (or everyday ‘nonreligious’) activities are intertwined in preliterate societies. Name and describe an example or two. (To write this prompt, you can use what you've read from the Lee article, or even what you learned from the film "Cave of Forgotten Dreams'.  You can also use your life experience, but must remember to include material from what you've read in class). OR Prompt 2: What are some of the ways in which belief in souls, gods, and other spiritual beings vary among societies? Compare and contrast at least two different societies. (To write this prompt, you can use what you've learned from the Harris article or what you've read in Covington.  You can also use your life experience, but must remember to include material from what you've read for this class).
