PLEASE HELP. I need someone to help me on an overdue history essay that concerns Ancient India and The Caste System. I'm super confused and my mind's all over the place. No, I'm not asking someone to do it for me, just ANYTHING to help :)
Here is the directions if anyone cares to help sorry it is so long:
You are going to write an essay (topic is listed below). It should be two pages, double-spaced. It should have an opening paragraph which contains what you are going to talk about in your essay, three or four body paragraphs with your facts or argument, and a concluding paragraph. You should have a separate works cited page of at least three references, one of which can be your textbook. The essay should be in APA format.
The topic of the essay is: How are religion and culture connected? This is a pretty broad category, but here are some of the ground rules: you must use one of the ancient Asian religions and one of the ancient Asian civilizations that appear in this Unit. Do not use modern India, or modern China, or modern forms of the religions. I don’t need to read about how religion shapes dress, for instance.
Here are some more guidelines:
The religions you can pick from are basically Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Daoism. And the civilizations/rulers are Chandragupta, Asoka (in India) and Shang, Han or Zhou dynasties in China. You can also use the Vedas and earlier India rulers, which is fine. But this is ancient India and China, and do not do an essay on modern versions of these religions.
To make a strong essay, it seems to me that the easiest religions/rulers to pick would be one of the following:
Discuss the Caste system in India under Chandragupta and how Hinduism supported that system in its teachings in order to stabilize Indian society.
These are not the only religions/rulers you can write about, but it seems to me this might be the easiest to write your essay on. Remember, you need an introductory paragraph, three body paragraphs with facts to support your thesis, and a summary paragraph, along with a works cited page. This should be roughly two pages, double-spaced.
