Choose one of the question-clusters below to address in your essay:

1. Read carefully the primary sources found in the “Working with Evidence” section at the end of Chapter 20. Write an essay addressing
   the following question: In what ways did these authors find fault with
   mainstream western societies and their political and social values? How
   did their solutions depart from mainstream political and social
   values? Be sure that your essay shows awareness of the chapter as a
   whole.
2. Read carefully the primary sources found in the “Working with
   Evidence” section at the end of Chapter 20. Write an essay addressing
   the following question: To what extent were the ideas in these
   documents new and revolutionary? To what extent did their ideas reflect
   long-standing traditions in their societies? What aspects of modern
   life did they accept and what aspects of it did they reject? Be sure
   that your essay shows awareness of the chapter as a whole.
