Include your name, student number, course number, course title and unit number with your writing assignment.

Begin each writing assignment by identifying the question number you are answering followed by the actual question itself (in bold type).

Use a standard essay format for responses to all questions (i.e., an introduction, middle paragraphs and conclusion).

1. Examine basic religious beliefs common to all forms of Buddhism. How does it compare to basic Hindu religious beliefs?

2. Compare and contrast the general worldviews and major ideas of Shinto and Taoism. What do these religions share in common and how do they differ?

3. Analyze the Zoroastrian view of human nature and discuss its relation to Zoroastrian ethics and eschatology. How is this the same or different from the Abrahamic Religions?
