1. What role does family play in East Asian religion
What role does family play in East Asian religionWhat role does family play in East Asian
religionWe return to a whole class discussion for the Unit on East Asian Religions since
these are collective traditions. Community is best understood as the whole group of
Chinese, Korean or Japanese living and practicing under the direction of a master, priest or
shaman.If you have not seen or heard from a friend in a little while, please shout out to one
another. You may want to use Pronto in the left Canvas navigation to say hello and share
together as well. I want to help build momentum in the middle of our semester to keep us
all engaged. Thank you for your conversations and contributions to help us better
understand East Asian Religion.In this discussion, consider questions about Chinese or
Japanese Religions as well as the usual Five Points:How does collectivism shape East Asian
religion?How important is harmony in these religions?What role does family play in East
Asian religion?How do East Asian religions focus on nature and ecology uniquely in our
class so far?Keep the Five Points of Inquiry in mind as you read and discuss our textbooks.
Healthy discussion is a discourse, which means you should communicate and reply to one
another. See the Discussion Board Sample and Netiquette listed in the Class Policies page as
you discuss our online readings.ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED, PLAGIARISM-FREE
PAPERSYou must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-
checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and
you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words
and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then
aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to
have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are
preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per
inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing
are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages
than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large margins, large
indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning
(space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of
a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.The paper must
be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of
each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark
ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
