6 pages in length. Simplicity is the affirmation of the Amish, a community of people whose religious beliefs mandate them to forego ownership of modern amenities including electricity, automobiles and telephones. Their choice to eschew the conveniences of contemporary technological advancement speaks to the obvious importance of fulfilling basic needs with the standards of natural application. The uncomplicated lifestyle the Amish lead is often subject to ridicule and contempt from outsiders who contend that the Amish have purposefully separated themselves from the rest of society as a means by which to build a community of their own jurisdiction; however, the extent to which the Amish live and work as members of an unadorned population thriving amidst a larger society of constant problems clearly endorses the benefits of a simple existence.

A 7 page paper discussing the longevity of the Jews as a distinct group of people. If anything about the number or consequence of the Jews should have changed in the more than 100 years since Mark Twain mused about their great longevity, it is that the Jew "should" be much more diminished in stature and prosperity than even in the closing years of the 19th century. Of course we know such not to be the case, despite facts of 20th century history. The paper discusses the Jews' adherence to ancient rules and faithful observance of tradition as contributing to Jews' continued tenacity. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
A 20 page paper comparing ideologies of Judaism and Christianity, with emphasis on the Jews' view of Jesus and Jesus' views of the Jews. Jews and Gentiles have been bickering for centuries over which side is 'right,' often without understanding that we will all eventually learn the answer, but in the meantime we need to work together. This world has always offered any number of ways to find or create friction. The concept is one God, and in that we differ very little. Much of the world believes that God has drastically altered his economy of salvation and that He has done it through His Son Jesus Christ. Nothing, however, has changed the fact that the Jews are God's chosen. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
A 10 page paper discussing the characteristics and origins of Orthodox, Conservative and Reform Judaism as it exists in today’s world. What constitutes Judaism can be confusing for non-Jews. While we Gentiles and others consider a Jew to be a member of one of the world’s leading religions, we often forget that Jewishness also involves an ethnic identification for most of the world’s Jews. Both the culture and religion have undergone changes in the past several decades, indeed in the past century. The result is that the Jews have been able to retain their ancient traditions while still being successful in the modern world. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

This is a 12 page paper discussing the Jewish response to Nazism from the 1920s to early 1940s in Germany and Europe. From the time after the First World War and the German defeat until the end of the Second World War and the defeat of the Nazis, the Jewish response to Nazism changed in intensity in accordance with the increasing persecution of the Jews by the Nazis and in perspective through political and economic means and eventually through armed and spiritual resistance. Politically, the Jews were well represented within the Weimar Republic which was the established form of governance after World War I. The Nazi Party used the poor Germany economy and the Jewish membership in the Weimar in their opposition and push against the Republic. Throughout the 1920s, the Nazi opposition against the Weimar and the Nazi open declaration to remove the Jews from Germany led many Jews to leave Germany for other parts of Europe, Britain and North America. When the Weimar ended in 1933 and Adolph Hitler and the Nazi Party had gained the political power in Germany, the Jewish business community on a national and an international basis devised an economic boycott of Germany with the hopes of ending the Hitler regime. This however only resulted in the Nazi’s further restrictions against the Jews and their transfer from their homes into Jewish ghettos throughout Germany and in Nazi-occupied Europe. Even within these ghettos, Jews responded with increasing armed and spiritual resistance which further intensified with the Nazi transfer of the Jews into the concentration and extermination camps as part of the process of Hitler’s “final solution”.

9 pages in length. Humanity's initial - if not involuntary - reaction to an unfamiliar concept is typically couched with disdain toward whoever it is trying to maintain an existence outside the norm. The extent to which Amish culture represents the antithesis of everything inherent to contemporary mankind is both grand and far-reaching; that this particular population of Americans lives and thrives as though they were still in the 1800s speaks to the tremendous diversity that exists between the Amish and all other cultures throughout the country. This conscious decision to live off the land and eschew modern conveniences is not merely a façade in order to garner attention, but instead is a statement of how a community is more genuine, productive and tight-knit if its approach to life is very fundamental in thought and in action. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
