The Essay subject:
Gender is the integral part of the Middle East politic. As such, “in Iran in order to pave the way for the conservative religious vision of a ‘good Muslim society’ … women have been targeted as markers of identity and have been made the object of social and economic policies and restrictive legal reforms (Hoodfar, 2010: 886). In Turkey “[m]otherhood and women’s role in socialisation were central themes in nation-building ideologies” … and “traditional roles were re-emphasised in the nationalist ideology. … [In] Westernism, Islamism, and Turkism, women were at the centre of social projects as objects of modernisation. … [M]en were keen to keep women within the boundaries of their own image of womanhood, which did not go beyond the traditional” (Cakir, 2007 : 67) roles.
Political institution
In each of the units of the course with assigned readings, class members post discussion of three
“key ideas,” one from each of the assigned readings. The key ideas assignment is intended to
encourage reflective reading and demonstrate application of the idea within the public sector.
A key idea addresses what the student finds to be an important or useful concept. Each key idea
entry assesses its importance, strengths and/or weaknesses, practical application, or points of
interest or confusion. Key ideas should be briefly linked to news events, societal conditions, or
personal experience.
Key ideas are about specific concepts from a portion of a reading, though sometimes they are
central to an entire reading. Key ideas entries do not summarize entire assigned readings or the
posted course notes for the unit.
Posting and Format
Key ideas for the unit are typed or pasted (not attached) as a single message into a discussion
thread. Each key idea should be discussed in approximately 200-250 words of narrative (not
including quotations, citations, references, or lists), separated into paragraphs where appropriate.
Each key idea is labeled with the name of the key idea, the author of the source reading, and the
page number(s) of the key idea. For sources from outside of our classroom readings, parenthetic
citations with author and date as well as a reference list should be included with the key ideas
entries. Excessive quotation and lists should be avoided; concepts should generally be
summarized in the student’s words.

Ancient-Modern debate
Compare and contrast the positions of Boethius and Machiavelli:
What is Boethius’ conception of human nature? How does he interpret Fortune and the role it plays in human affairs? What does Boethius mean by False Happiness? Why is it false? How does his philosophy of human nature, fortune, and politics influence his understanding of happiness?
Machiavelli intends The Prince to be useful to those who are interested in acquiring and keeping power. To this end, he redefines the nature of human beings, the ends and purpose of politics, and fortune.
What is his new conception of Virtu? Where does one learn this new way of thinking and acting? What is this new way of thinking and acting? Why is this important? And, explain his conception of Fortune, and why it is important.
