Due April 22nd at one minute before midnight.

Part I (50%)

Give a short answer (approx.250 words) to the following 4 questions. Make sure you give direct evidence and examples from the relevant readings and/or the lectures. NO outside research is needed.

1) Why did the Abbasid Caliphs decline in power during the mid-10th century? Answer with specific reference to ibn Miskawayh’s observations (6 Jan. readings).

2) Do you agree with ibn Khaldun’s (d.1406) theory of social change? Explain with its possible application (or not) to specific events from Islamic history.

3) What does the story of the unfaithful wife (9 Mar. readings) from the 1001 Nights tales, reveal about post-10th-century Islamic urban centres? Is it mere fantasy or a reflection of some aspects of gender relations?

4) In what way does the tale of Hayy ibn Yaqzan (16 Mar. readings Sections 3-5 and 10-12, (on pages 43-45 and 51-53)) illustrate Islamic philosophy’s main contribution to the problem of faith and reason?

Part II (50%)

Write an essay (approx.1000 words) in which you answer the following question. Make sure you include an introduction, analysis, and conclusion with plenty of direct illustrative examples from the readings and the lectures. I am, of course, interested in your opinions, but a good grade is more dependent on your ability to demonstrate a good knowledge of the material, and how it is woven together, rather than your specific opinion of its significance.

Q) Among the many issues we discussed in the second term of this course, which two interrelated themes or events did you find most important in terms of their impact (positive or negative) on the history of Islamic civilization? Explain the nature of the two themes or events. How are the two related? Why did you choose them as opposed to others? Would you say they were specific to the Islamic World or part of the general history of human societies?

(I wanted to compare the crusades to the Islamic conquest of Spain and North Africa, relevant links are added)

Congress passes laws, and the executive branch implements those laws-federal departments and agencies carry out and enforce the policy goals. The President wields some influence over the laws themselves, because of his power to veto legislation. The President can also affect how the federal agencies and departments do their jobs in a few ways. First of all, he appoints the top officials at the agencies which carry out the laws, and he will choose people to run the agencies who share his political views. (The Senate has to confirm the President’s appointments.) The President also has the power to give instructions to federal agencies about how they should operate and how they should implement laws. These instructions, called executive orders, have the force of law. However, executive orders can’t contradict laws; they can tell agencies what to do in cases where the law does not specifically guide them already. An executive order can be rescinded or changed by a future president. Presidents may try to use executive orders to achieve policy goals in cases when they can’t get the cooperation of Congress.

Executive orders vary greatly in importance. Some cover minor administrative matters, some establish a body like a board, council, or task force to study and address an issue, and some enact major policy changes. For instance, in 1948, President Harry Truman desegregated the armed forces with an executive order (order #9981, July 26 1948).

The American Presidency Project has an archive of executive orders from the 1820s to partway through 2019. It can be accessed here . A search box at the top of the page lets you choose any year from 1826 to 2019.

Take some time to browse through the executive orders, choosing a variety of years and presidential administrations to look at. In addition to looking at the titles, choose several to read to see what they’re trying to accomplish and how they try to accomplish it. Some of the kinds of orders you might look out for include: orders that establish a board, council, advisory panel, task force, or similar body to see some of the issues particular presidents are focusing on, orders that deal with foreign affairs, orders that reverse or change previous executive orders, and orders that advance specific policy goals.

This week’s Internet activity asked you to look at executive orders presidents have issued over the years. What kinds of things have presidents tried to accomplish using executive orders? In browsing through the orders, what did you find most interesting and why? Can you say anything about how particular orders related to the historical time period-what the problems of the day were?

In the poem To his Coy Mistress by Andrew Marvell
explain how he uses pairs or opposites (crowns and feet; pride and humility; youth and age; growth and decay, for example) to make a larger point about relationships (to art, to God, to love) in the poem.

A spa-centered hotel chain, International Waters, Inc. (IW), has been in business for 2 years now. Their mission is to provide a stress-free stay for guests where relaxation is a priority.

For this assignment, you will evaluate the external validity of Eskine, Kacinik, and Prinz (2011), with a particular focus on the external validity to situations and settings outside the study.

Your paper should address the following questions:

What steps did the researchers take, if any, to increase the study’s similarity to real-world contexts?
Given your response above, what are the implications for generalizing to settings outside the experiment?
HINT: As you write, you will find it helpful to draw on the Chapter 14 concepts of ecological validity and experimental realism.

You do not need to provide an in-text citation or references list for this exercise. As you write, be sure to paraphrase the ideas in the source article and to avoid plagiarism. For our purposes, three or more consecutive content words taken from the Eskine article will constitute plagiarism.
