Discussion: Tradition’s ScripturesDiscussion: Tradition’s ScripturesThroughout the
semester, each student will be responsible to post a meaningful reflection in Canvas after
reading and discussing key texts within 6 areas of inquiry around 1) Tribal religion, 2)
Indian religion, 3) East Asian religion, 4) West Asian religion, 5) Christianity, 6) Islam and 7)
Modern Religions.[Student Learning Outcomes 1, 4, 5]Choose 1 of the following:
Zoroastrianism or Judaism.Post a 2-page MLA style reflection to address all 5 points below.
Use 2 passages from our textbook or Canvas sources for .How does your this West Asian
tradition define God?Name and describe this tradition’s Scriptures. Discuss ethical
requirements and devotion to the One God (either Ahura Mazda or Yahweh).How do leaders
guide the community to honor the One God?What rituals, ceremonies, devotional practices
or holidays are most important?What does this tradition teach about life after death?
Consider future rewards and punishments as well if applicable.Review the Rubrics for
Grading before writing your reflection. Use MLA citations when quoting Smith or Novak. See
the MLA style guide on Purdue’s Online Writing Lab if you need added in this
activity.ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSYou must proofread
your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker;
failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to
suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will
be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and
make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your
paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected
mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or
compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is
better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress
it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing,
increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any
other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable,
wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.The paper must be neatly formatted,
double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When
submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to
read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/scriptures-230321090852-9d5c0627/85/Scriptures-docx-1-320.jpg)
