In this class, we used all the material we've been learning in previous classes to compose essays that were to “synthesize” (as opposed to summarize) what we have learned. In other words, condense it all inot one major idea. We wrote the essays using the R.A.F.T. Format, so many students wrote in the form of a letter or a poem, rather than a standard essay. I chose to wrote it as a letter to my younger brother, taking on a more paternal role in order to thoroughly explain the material.
Some of the things we reviewed in our essay were sacred areas as opposed to profane areas, and how different cultures go about classifying the two. We learned briefly about different areas all over the world, from Aborigines in Australia to areas from Medieval Europe.
Another thing discussed generally in our essays was the methods Mahatma Gandhi used to grow spiritually, a method of crossing over into other religions, such as Christianity, Islam and Judaism, and coming back to his original religion, Hinuism. We learned in class of the details of this approach to spirituality and the impact it had on the world.
