Answer both questions.

1. Compare the strengths and weaknesses of these two worldviews:

 - Religious, mythical, or magical

2.One of our themes this semester is that before several transformations,
people looked to the past in order to make sense of their universe; people
lived in a world with little change; people were not particularly
optimistic. All of this changed, however, over the course of several
centuries. In the readings this semester, where do you see people beginning
to look to other sources than an authority from the past; beginning to
experience and expect more and more change in their lives; and beginning to
expect the future to be better than the present? This question appeared in
Week 4. You may gain insight by looking at your own or your classmates'
responses there.
