On the Education of Women

Defoe criticized his society for excluding women from education since the focus was on educating men. Defoe's point is that by educating women as daughters, wives, mothers, society will be more effective since women play very important roles in life. 

Here is a passage from his essay:

" One would wonder, indeed, how it should happen that women are conversible at all; since they are only beholden to natural parts, for all their knowledge. Their youth is spent to teach them to stitch and sew or make baubles. They are taught to read, indeed, and perhaps to write their names, or so; and that is the height of a womans education.

Answer the prompt: The teachings of Christianity and Islam emerged from very different historical contexts, yet both sought to provide guidance for building a flourishing community.  Select two topics of your choice that are essential components of any flourishing community and, using selections from The Worlds Wisdom, contrast the guidance that the teachings of Christianity and Islam provided on the two topics of your choice. Finally, consider what factors might account for these similarities and/or differences.   

*Please use the book The World's Wisdom book for reference.

students will write a political postmortem on the 2020 U.S. presidential election, focusing on its racial and ethnic politics, policies, discourse and dynamics. Any election cycle in the U.S. lends itself to an Ethnic Studies critique of its racial, ethnic and gendered dynamics and this election will certainly not be the exception. For this final assignment, students will critically summarize the political platforms of both major candidates, analyze the racial and ethnic dimensions and implications of each (i.e. how would/do these competing political agendas impact the communities discussed in this course? Make sure to discuss at least two of the groups discussed in class. If students are interested in foreign policy implications, they may focus on the impacts of these campaigns on the homelands of these communities e.g. Asian & Latin American countries), and conclude by stating which campaign they found to be more socially just and politically democratic based on what theyve learn
