Evaluate
the argument presented in the article, “Putin’s challenge: The Circassians and
the Winter Olympics.” (A link to this article appears below.) Some of the issues raised in this article are themes we
have discussed this semester – genocide, empirical expansion, religious
conflict. Please also review the Massaro chapter, “Nine Key Themes of Catholic
Social Teaching,” which reflects the evolving values of Catholicism as
expressed by Catholics such as the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur (SNDdeN). The
values of the SNDdeN are consistent with the values expressed in this chapter.
Given
what you know about the historical themes, and assuming that you are acting as
a representative of NDNU and the SNDdeN, how would you advise Putin to respond
to the allegations and challenges in this article? Why should he respond that
way?
You
may present your argument in any format – a formal essay, a letter, a poem, a
painting or drawing, a commercial to be aired on Russian television, a dance, a
song, a collage… any format you find appropriate for communicating your ideas.
Separately,
prepare a 1-page summary indicating how your song, essay, letter, etc.
incorporates the various elements of good written communication outlined in the
rubric. As a reminder, these are: Cogency, Analytical Complexity, Supporting
Evidence, Diction & Clarity, Mechanics, and Documentation.
