Despite the development of religions from specific historical and cultural contexts, globalization has continued the dramatic increase in cultural and religious interaction among people all over the world. For the final project, students are required to demonstrate an understanding of the history and interaction of a religion.

The student will develop a multi-modal presentation that will catalog the historical emergence, current social state, and inter-faith interaction of one of the major religions. The presentation should be submitted as an essay component with a visual presentation component (e.g. Powerpoint). The essay and PowerPoint will include the following:

• Researched explanation of the historical development of the religion
• Textual explanation of the main principles of the religion and how they have evolved from history to present day
• An interview with a local leader from the religious community (the interview can be conducted by email, phone, or in person.) You can incorporate the information gleaned however you want, as long as the source is properly cited. Here are some suggested questions to ask: Are there more practitioners than in the past? Are the original requirements being left behind by the followers? Is the religion active in communities? What changes, if any, have you noticed in terms of principles, followers, interactions, and global perspectives? Has the religious community changed as the culture around it has changed or has it held fast to its basic beliefs despite a changing culture?)
• Researched explanation of how the religion has interacted with other
  religious groups both historically and currently. This section should
  include comparisons with at least two other religions.
