Directions: For each assignment you are to select any of three topics to address in an essay. Essays may be as long as you feel necessary, but must be at least 300 words each, and should demonstrate an understanding of the main point of the topic and it's relevance for us today. Avoid plagiarism! E-mail essays to: wsjamison@UAA.ALASKA.EDU.
