He includes, “and no religion, too.” Thinking about this idea NOT as a person who holds or declines to hold religious beliefs but thinking about it as a world historian, what would be gained and/or lost in a world with no religion?
You must invite ten people from history to discuss this question—five from the period before 1900 and five from after 1900. You should invited people with different views, to give you as many different perspectives as possible, before you offer your historical perspective on the question.The exam will have two parts: one, the essay, in which you answer the question, drawing on the views and experiences of the ten historical people. This should be 6-8 pages long, and should cite all sources used. You are free to draw on more than the ten specially invited guests or to use sources beyond the ones they contribute. The essay is worth 200 points.

Be detailed but concise; no more than 3 pages to introduce all ten individuals. This part is worth 30 points.

Editors Whitney Strub and Carolyn Bronstein argue that pornographic revolution of the 1970s was intimately tied to the ravages of the late 1960s. Hardcore pornography was linked to the ghosts of youth counterculture, the Civil Rights Movement, and the Vietnam War.
Pick any 3 chapters from the book “Porno Chic” and use the chapters to explore this claim and offer a determination of what we can see in this genre as it emerged in a specific chronological, social, and political context. How much was pornography opening up new existential understandings? How much was it simply another anarchistic form turned into economic exchange? How did it change American society?
Do not use any other sources than the book “Porno Chic”.
Include at least six brief quotes and provide direct support to your argument.

Live Performance Jazz Group History
No high school. You must report on the entire concert, or on at least one set (usually about an hour) if you are hearing a jazz group in a nightclub. Be sure the group is a jazz group and not a blues group or a rock group. If you are not sure, better find something else. Going to jazz clubs in Kansas City is a great way to find good local jazz talent. See the D2L site for club suggestions.
Compact Discs –You must report on all the music contained on the CD. If you discuss only part of the music, your report will not count. The list below is a good place to begin when you are choosing a CD. CDs must be cleared with your professor if you are writing about musicians not listed below.

Complete the following discussion and one peer response
The following work is considered Contemporary dance, specifically community dance, since the choreographer is collaborating with a community of people. Your chapter outlines Modern dance and its pioneers. This work is the descendant of the original modern dance.
Watch the Bill Moyers documentary video of the making of Still Here by Bill T. Jones: https://vimeo.com/33288787
Answer the following and then respond to one peer:
1. When this dance first was choreographed, one critic, who did NOT see the dance, accused Bill T. Jones of creating “victim” art and of exploiting and using the participants for his gain. After watching this documentary, what do you think? Do you think that the participants of this project were exploited or used for the benefit or gain of the choreographer? Please explain.
2. What about this resonates with you — what do you think this dance and process say about the power of dance? How do you think the pioneers of Modern dance would have responded to this work? How do you see this fitting with the ideology of Modern dance as described in your textbook?
