The instructions my profesor gave me are as follows (reach me so I can give you access to the courses online textbook): In 8-10 pages, double spaced, you will discuss the impact of religion upon culture and society. That is, using the material covered in this class plus your individual research, you will write how the beliefs and practices associated with a particular religion affect a particular culture. It is advisable that you limit the scope of your research to perhaps aspects of a religion and a sub-culture within a country. However, this doesn't mean that if your feel capable writing about Protestantism and America that you shouldn't do so (Think of Max Weber's The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism). But it would be more advisable to choose a project with a more limited scope. For example: Santeria and Cuban youth in Miami; Neo-paganism and New Age practitioners in Bogota; Neo-Pentecostals and Brazilian politics, etc. In this work you are expected to engage with theor

Parts of Speech

As mentioned in one of the videos, we often use two means to define what a syntactic category or part of speech is in a given language: the semantic approach and the formal approach. When we are very young, we are told to define nouns as 'people, places, and things' and then we may ask the question, 'But teacher, what of the word beauty?'  and then be told unsatisfactorily that this is a 'thing'.  This is what is known as a semantic approach. We like to define categories by their meaning (by relating them to things we have understanding of). However, another approach which is probably closer to how children actually learn language is the formal approach. We look at the structural environment in which a particular word (lexical item) occurs in order to define its syntactic category. For example the teacher in the example above might say something like: 'Ah! Good question. Normally we would look to see if we could count the item  and mark it with a plural(one cat, two cats
