1. Reflect on the ancient texts and we have covered this week. What food themes and conflicts do these works bring to our attention? Classify the themes and conflicts so that they reflect which are still with us and which seem to have lost their significance? Explain your choices.
2. Reflect on the documentary The Cutting Edge. Briefly identify three points the documentary makes that you found particularly interesting or illuminating. Why did these points stand out to you?
A well-developed journal will be between 2 to 4 pages in length and engage critically in the ideas and concepts presented.
I will upload documents you might need down blow.
