You will write on ONE of the following essays. I will provide you with a special form that you can
bring to the examination. I will not accept any other form as valid.
ESSAY TOPICS:
1. According to Samuel P. Huntington, the West is unique rather than “universal” and any efforts
to argue otherwise are “misguided arrogant, false, and dangerous.”
Would Francis Fukuyama agree with him? Why or why not? What do you think?
2. According to Gerard DeGroot, student protesters of 1968 were “deluded” revolutionaries who
“derailed” positive progress. Do you agree? Be sure to explain both the goals of the protesters
as well as the results of their efforts. You must write about protests in three of the following
countries: France, Great Britain, the United States and Czechoslovakia.
3. What are feminists trying to achieve? Do you think that they’ve succeeded? Be sure to make
reference to the ideas and arguments of Susan Faludi, Gloria Steinem, Virginia Woolf and
Betty Friedan.
