M7 Discussion: Final Reflections
In this course, we have considered the essential and proper relationship between religion and political activity in the United States. We have explored the historical foundations, explanatory theories, and contemporary issues. Drawing on what you have learned in this course, address the following questions:

Does the entry of religious groups into the political arena threaten the stability of the American political system?
Do the instances of individual intolerance and the sporadic cases of violence that we see in modern society point to a larger and more pervasive climate of hostility fueled by religion?
How has this course informed your opinions of the proper relationship between religion and politics?
Please post an initial response to the question(s) above, then reply to at least two different peers over the course of the module. Remember, in order for class discussions to be meaningful, you must participate regularly and consistently.

When you have found something interesting, look at it as a design first. What Visual Elements and Principals of Design does it employ? Why is this design of interest to you? Review the aspects of the work that appealed to you and list them as they occurred to you.

Now, look at the label and find out the name of the artist, the title of the work, and the date of its creation. This information is needed to complete your analysis by discussing the style of the work and how the work represents the culture and time period in which it was created. What has the artist included of a personal viewpoint?

In what way have technological changes have to led cultural globalisation ?

Choose a topic from Chapters 14 or 15 of your textbook (examples below). Write a 10-12 page literature review of your topic using at least 7 scholarly journal articles. The goal of this assignment is to demonstrate your knowledge of the topic and critical thinking skills by using original research articles to demonstrate your ability to synthesize and discuss your topic.

TOPIC: Individual and cultural differences in critical thinking

According to the APA manual (p. 10),

“Literature reviews are critical evaluations of material that has already been published. By organizing, integrating,and evaluating previously published material, authors of literature reviews consider the progress of research toward clarifying a problem. In a sense, literature reviews are tutorials, in that authors

define and clarify the problem;
summarize previous investigations to inform the reader of the state of research;
identify relations, contradictions, gaps, and inconsistencies in the literature; and
suggest the next step or steps in solving the problem.”

Be sure to use APA style, including appropriate grammar, spelling, and mechanics, as well as citations and references.
