GEOG 3039: Module 2 Exam 1 Your Module 2 Exam will consist of identification and short essay questions. Identification answers should be between 30-50 words and are successfully answered when you describe them in your own words (paraphrasing) and contextualize them within our study of the geography of religion. Short essays should be between 400-500 words and are awarded full points when you fully, succinctly, and correctly address all components asked for in the question. Your exam will consist of five (5) identification questions and three (3) essay questions, all randomly selected from the lists below. Each ID is worth 1 point; each essay is worth 5 points. This exam is worth 20 points total toward your course grade. The exam questions are set once you access it; they can be saved and returned to later; one question is displayed at a time, and your answers are “locked” once you submit them. The exam is available starting at 12:01am on Friday, February 23; it is due by 2:00pm on Monday, February 26. There is no grace period for this exam. As of 2:15pm on Monday, February 26, the exam will disappear from student view and will not be available to students. The exam is open book in its entirety. It is my hope that each of you takes some time to prepare an outline, an answer, or at least a reference table for each of the questions. It is perfectly acceptable to prepare full answers for questions and then simply “copy and paste” when you access your exam. Possible IDs: 1. Environmental theology 2. Formal Region 3. Functional Region 4. Primary Hearth 5. Bhikshu 6. Eschatology 7. Secondary Hearth 8. Indo-Gangetic Plain 9. Fertile Crescent 10. Jihad 11. Natural Change 12. 10/40 Window 13. Core, Domain, and Sphere 14. The Great Commission
Short Essays 1. Distinguish among religious geography, Biblical geography, and ecclesiastical geography. How is each of these unique in providing research agendas for studies in the geography of religion? 2. How do individual and collective attitudes toward “the afterlife” affect landscapes of death? Contrast how this could be geographically distinct between Hinduism and Christianity. 3. Contrast Abrahamic religions with Semitic religions. Identify areas of similarity as well as difference. It may sound as if these identify similarly; why, then, is there this distinction? 4. List and paraphrase the four ways that religions change through migration. Provide two examples not referenced in texts or instructional materials that exemplify two different changes through migration (historical or more current). 5. Religions change (generally unfavorably) through the mechanism of involuntary conversion. Identify and explain the concept of hegemony and the common ways in which it is expressed as it relates to involuntary conversion. Identify and explain one contemporary example of involuntary conversion (not a universalizing religion). 6. Religions change (generally unfavorably) through the mechanism of contraction. Explain and describe four contraction mechanisms. Which of these mechanisms best explains the decline of (a) the Shakers; and (b) Santi Asoke Buddhism? Also, provide another religion or belief system (not a universalizing religion) that has undergone contraction, with a brief explanation of why. 7. Research and restate / paraphrase the origins of Sikhism: when did it start, by whom, and where? Identify a space sacred to Sikhism for each of the 7 categories of sacred space, with a brief explanation of why that place is sacred. 8. Research and restate / paraphrase the origins of Jainism: when did it start, by whom, and where? Identify a space sacred to Jainism for each of the 7 categories of sacred space, with a brief explanation of why that place is sacred. 9. Research and restate / paraphrase the origins of Shintoism: when did it start, by whom, and where? Identify a space sacred to Shintoism for each of the 7 categories of sacred space, with a brief explanation of why that place is sacred. 10.
