Begin your essay with an introductory paragraph that explicitly includes a thesis and defines any key terms or ideas necessary to articulate your argument. In the body of the essay (three paragraphs), use at least three sources (primary sources or case studies) to support your argument. In the conclusion, compare/contrast your cases and summarize how your evidence supports your main thesis. Use material from lectures and contextual readings to offer the historical context necessary to understand the thesis you are presenting. Finally, assume that we do not know what you know, so remember to show your knowledge and engagement with class concepts/materials by using evidence in your writing.

Agree or Disagree: Most societies governed people and classified difference in similar ways across the early modern world. (Note that difference could be based on race, gender, class, religion, and/or a more general “otherness”).

Please note that there is no right or wrong answer. You can agree or disagree as it makes sense to you. We are assessing your ability to formulate a thesis and support it with historical evidence.

For a successful essay, be sure to include the following:

Paragraph 1 (12 Points):
Articulate whether or not you agree or disagree with the statement.
Write a clear thesis that states why you agree or disagree with the statement. The following are NOT examples of a thesis:

It is evident in X and Y sources that most societies governed people and classified difference in similar ways across the early modern world. 
Describe your conception of governance and/or difference.

To help with generating initial ideas with which factors to include, you may want to consider high yield spread and treasury yield curve as a starting point. It would be interesting to see what factors are ultimately included in the model.
