Overview: Theravada (called the Ritsu or Risshu school) was known and practiced in early Japan, being one of the Six Schools of Nara Buddhism. But just as was the case in China, this branch of the Buddhist tradition was overwhelmed almost immediately by Mahayana and Vajrayana. Such an outcome was not the case in Southeast Asia, where Theravada overwhelmed the other two branches of Buddhism over time.
Prompt: What factors (such as differences in Buddhist doctrine and practice, social, cultural and political factors, and historical events) do you think account for the dominance of Mahayana and Vajrayana not just in Japan, but throughout all of East Asia?

Select an appropriate peer-reviewed article on The Transportation Security Administration. Begin this assignment by reading the news article carefully. Take care to note the following in your close reading of the article:
1. Does the article appear to be making a clear point, expecting the reader to draw a particular conclusion? If so, what is that thesis or main conclusion?
2. Does the author appear to have a particular point of view or approach to the topic? Does this seem to be persuasion or does the author seem to be making a relatively objective effort to answer reasonable questions readers may have about the topic?
3. What are the key issues or topics that make up the article? What conclusions does the author draw concerning each?
4. What sorts of evidence and reasoning does the author use to support each of his/her main conclusions? Note specifically, all facts the author cites in the article. Can you determine if they are accurate?
5. What kind of general impression(s) would you expect the typical reader to take away from the article after reading it?

Fast-food chains are locked in a fierce battle that has them practically giving food away. McDonalds, Wendys, Burger King, and others are constantly trying to lure customers at the low end of the price spectrum with tempting menu options that can serve as a snack or a meal. Although this technique is nothing new, its more popular today than ever. The tactic has even found its way into full-service restaurant chains such as Olive Garden.

Criteria for approval of outline
As mentioned in the syllabus, one of the goals of this course is for you to become familiar with
how to use publicly available data to check facts and satisfy your curiosity about the Middle
East.
The purpose of this assignment is therefore to give you practice testing/illustrating an argument
using data and graphs. Note that the data pattern you find may not support your original
argument, but this is totally fine. Practice finding appropriate data and graphs to satisfy your
curiosity and illustrate your thoughts is the goal here.
One very important thing to note is that we want to see the effort of collecting data on your
own by checking publicly available data, and making the graphs and tables by yourself.
The tables and graphs should not be a copy and paste of an existing article.
You do not have to make fancy arguments, but you have to think about what kind of data tables
and graphs can illustrate your arguments and satisfy your curiosity.
Bearing the above in mind, an outline should have the following elements.
Motivation of the brief paper
Statement of your hypothesis/point: the statement has to involve the countries we
discuss in this course.
Logical argument of your hypothesis: this can be two to three sentences. Do not
write long paragraphs.
Data
Data Source
Variable definition: Write down the definition of the variables in your data if
the variable you are using is not common. Note: When you see a variable
in your data, always first check the definition, see if the definition fits into
the measure you have in mind.
Data presentation
one scatter plot: specify the x, y variables, inclusion of countries, and
produce one scatter plot. Note that we encourage you to also use other
kinds of graphs, e.g., bar and line graphs, but you must have one scatter
plot.
The reason you choose to compare the selected countries for certain
years in the graphs you will produce. The comparison level need not
be at the country level. For example, you can also compare sectors
within a country.
Have at least one population weighted average. You can use the weighted
averages to compare one area to another: e.g., Sub-Saharan vs
Meditarranean; Middle East vs Latin America. Or you can use population
weighted average to compare a country to the area, e.g., Tunisia vs
Mediterranean countries.
