Freud PAPER and Thucydides BLOG

We'll try writing a paper this time and maybe have more luck with answering the question!  Your assignment this week is two fold.

1.   WRITE A MINIMUM 2 PAGE PAPER (MLA FORMAT) ANSWERING ONE OF THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS.   In the first part of this paper, you are analyzing the text. You must actually site the reading from Freud when you are answering the question.   You must actually have at least one quote from the reading, but you can have more to make your point.  I want you to reference the page where you found the quote.   This will allow the reader to find what you are talking about more easily.   This first part does not have to do with your opinion.   THEN, after you have analyzed what Freud is telling us, you will agree or disagree with him.   This is where you use your own opinion.

• Why, ACCORDING TO FREUD, don't communal feelings and emotional ties succeed in preventing war?    And do you agree or not with this, and why.
• Why does FREUD emphasize that an inclination to violence for its own sake - rather than poverty or injustice - is the true cause of war?  And do you agree or not with this, and why. (yes - this is a repeat of last week's assignment, but since no one answered it.....)
• What does FREUD says happens to the aggressive instinct when people unite to form a lawful society? And do you agree or not with this, and why.

2.   BLOGGING FOR THE MELIAN DIALOGUE

 For this part of the assignment, please blog a minimum of one paragraph on this question.  This is an opinion blog.  You do NOT need to provide quotes from the reading unless you want to.

• Are the Melians fools or heroes for refusing the Athenian offer. 

Special notes:
This is how you should refer to a quote using MLA formatting:

Short quotations

To indicate short quotations (fewer than four typed lines of prose or three lines of verse) in your text, enclose the quotation within double quotation marks. Provide the author and specific page citation (in the case of verse, provide line numbers) in the text, and include a complete reference on the Works Cited page. Punctuation marks such as periods, commas, and semicolons should appear after the parenthetical citation. Question marks and exclamation points should appear within the quotation marks if they are a part of the quoted passage but after the parenthetical citation if they are a part of your text.
For example, when quoting short passages of prose, use the following examples:

• According to some, dreams express "profound aspects of personality" (Foulkes 184), though others disagree.

• According to Foulkes's study, dreams may express "profound aspects of personality" (184).

• Is it possible that dreams may express "profound aspects of personality" (Foulkes 184)?

When short (fewer than three lines of verse) quotations from poetry, mark breaks in short quotations of verse with a slash, ( / ), at the end of each line of verse (a space should precede and follow the slash).

• Cullen concludes, "Of all the things that happened there / That's all I remember" (11-12).

You must also have a Works Cited page at the end.   This will be a very simple Works Cited, but good practice.
