Topic: People and their Pets<\/p>\n
First, select a theme that is important to the nature of being human. Some ideas include Female Beauty, Territorial Conflict, Earth Stewardship, Consumerism, Classism, Home, Elder Care, Child Discipline, Sports, Courtship, Funeral Practices, People and their Pets, or other topics approved by instructor. Most of these topics should be narrowed down.
Second, show how your theme manifests itself in three different time periods OR three different contemporary cultures.
Find at least one artwork (can be literature, poetry, painting, music, etc.) to represent each culture or time period and explain its significance. Random photographs don\u2019t necessarily count as art.
Conclude with your personal response to the theme. Address these questions: In the contemporary American culture, how important is your chosen theme? How do you, personally maintain or acknowledge its importance?
Your paper should be 4 \u2013 5 pages. If it\u2019s an oral presentation, it should be 7-8 minutes.
