Please answer two of the following three essay topics. I have
indicated in parenthesis the names of authors whose work I think will help
you answer each question. You are not obliged to use all of them,
nor should they limit you. Each essay should be 3+ double-spaced
pages. These are not position pieces, rather your answers need to
reflect your historical understanding of how ideas and actions change over
time. The difference between an “A” and a “B” essay is that the “B”
essay offers a good description of change and an “A” essay explains why
changes occurred. Structure, clarity, spelling and grammar all count.
