When dealing with other cultures or perspectives, is it more important to focus on your similarities or differences? This year, we've read a multitude of stories from a variety of perspectives. We've explored some of the attitudes and ideas that divide, we've seen from the perspective of mindsets that unite. Hopefully, you've also gained a better understanding of your own perspective as well.

For your Unit 4 Writing Assignment, I would like for you to explore these ideas through that question. Write an argument in response to the prompt that contains the following elemnts:

Hook/Introduction (You're essay should not jump directly in to answering that question. Consider how that question might apply to you, or the world. Consider some way to engage the reader in the topic)
Claim (This is where you'll answer the question. A claim should also introduce how you plan to support your response)
At least 3 Supporting Paragraphs
Your support must directly reference at least 2 stories we've read this year
You may also use personal experience or real world examples as supporting evidence
Counterclaim- Address the other side of the argument. If you believe similarities are more important than differences, spend some time acknowledging why someone may think understanding differences is more important or vice versa. Make sure your counterclaim is followed with a refutation to reinforce your argument.
Conclusion- Try to go beyond just restating your claim and major points. Try to connect your argument to a larger context.
Note: It is important to understand both similarities and differences. The question is asking which one is MORE important. Your essay's tone is done no favors by being wishy-washy. Pick the one you think is more important and defend that stance. If you honestly believe they are equally important, FAKE an opinion. This isn't a legally binding document. You are not forever bound to your choice. This is an exercise meant to evaluate your ability to structure and support an argument. Making an argument starts with taking a side.

In this excerpt from "dover beach" by matthew arnold, which two lines or sets of lines suggest that the speaker has undergone a loss of faith? the sea of faith was once, too, at the full, and round earth's shore lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled. but now i only hear its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar, retreating, to the breath of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear and naked shingles of the world. ah, love, let us be true to one another! for the world, which seems to lie before us like a land of dreams, so various, so beautiful, so new, hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light, nor certitude, nor peace, nor for pain; and we are here as on a darkling plain swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, where ignorant armies clash by night.
