Objective: This assignment aims to explore the concept of symbolic immortality through a critical reflection on selected readings and a film. By engaging with the materials, you will analyze how different cultures and philosophical perspectives understand and cope with death, and how these perspectives provide a sense of immortality.
Readings and Film (use at least 4):
*Conklin, Beth A. “Hunting the Ancestors: Death and Alliance in Wari’ Cannibalism.”
*Plato, “The Apology of Socrates” (W.H.D. Rouse translation).
*Lifton, Robert Jay, and Eric Olson. “Symbolic Immortality.”
Film: “The Phone of the Wind: Whispers to Lost Families” Links to an external site. (2016).
[Readings marked with * are available in the folder titled “Paper 3”]
Some ideas to consider while writing:
1. Introduction: Begin with a brief overview of the concept of symbolic immortality as discussed by Lifton and Olson. Define the term and explain its relevance to human societies and individual psychology. Does the concept of symbolic immortality assume the existence of “non-symbolic” immortality?
2. Analysis: Select at 4 of the provided readings and the film to explore how the concept of symbolic immortality is portrayed and understood in different cultural and philosophical contexts. For example, you could:
Discuss how the Wari’ people, as described by Conklin, understand and practice symbolic immortality through their funerary cannibalism and beliefs about ancestors.
Analyze Socrates’ perspective on death and immortality in Plato’s “Apology,” focusing on his arguments about the soul and the afterlife.
Reflect on the film “The Phone of the Wind: Whispers to Lost Families” and how it portrays symbolic immortality through the act of communication with lost loved ones.
Comparative Reflection: Compare and contrast the different approaches to symbolic immortality in the readings and the film. Consider questions such as:
How do different cultures and philosophies create and sustain a sense of immortality?
What are the psychological and social functions of these beliefs and practices?
How do these practices and beliefs help individuals and communities cope with the reality of death?
Questions to Guide Your Reflection on the readings:
1.How does the Wari’ practice of cannibalism serve as a form of symbolic immortality? What does this practice reveal about their understanding of life, death, and the afterlife?
2.In “The Apology,” how does Socrates argue for the immortality of the soul? How does his view of death challenge or support contemporary views on symbolic immortality?
3.How does the film “The Phone of the Wind” illustrate the concept of symbolic immortality? What emotions and thoughts are evoked through the act of speaking to lost loved ones?
4.How do Lifton and Olson’s categories of symbolic immortality (biological, creative, theological, natural, and experiential) apply to the readings and the film? Can you identify examples of each category in the materials?
5.What are the similarities and differences in the ways that the Wari’, Socrates, and the families in the film find meaning and continuity beyond death?
6.How do these different perspectives on symbolic immortality influence the way individuals and societies confront the inevitability of death?
Submission Guidelines:
paper should be 1000 words in length.
Use proper citations for the readings and the film.
Provide a clear and coherent argument supported by evidence from the texts and the film

Step 1: Choose Two Primary Sources
Review the U.S. History I Touch

A. Directions
Step 1: Choose Two Primary Sources
Review the U.S. History I Touchstone Primary Sources List and select two primary sources from the list for your assignment. The primary sources you choose should come from different time periods. Submissions that analyze primary sources that are not on the provided list will be returned ungraded.
Step 2: Read and Analyze Each Source
Read and analyze each source by following the instructions outlined below. Record your responses in the Touchstone 4: Analyzing Primary Sources Template.
Part 1: Meet the Primary Source
What type of primary source is this?
Types could include a letter, speech, court transcript, legislation, diary entry, photograph, artifact, map, broadside, circular, political cartoon, artwork, etc.
Provide a brief description of something you notice about the source, as if you were explaining to someone who can’t see it.
For example, you might describe its physical appearance, its formal title (if it has one), its type of language, its size or length, or anything else in particular that stands out to you.
Part 2: Observe its Parts
Who wrote it or created it? Was it one person, or was it a group, like an organization?
When was it written or otherwise created?
What are two things you know about the personal background or beliefs of the person or group who created it?
Was the source meant to be public or private? If public, who do you think was the intended audience?
HINT
You may need to use the internet to help you research these questions.
Part 3: Interpret its Meaning: Historical Context
Describe two other things that were happening at the time the source was created.
Careful! In some cases, this could be different from the time the source describes or portrays.
How does that context (or background information) help you understand why it was created?
HINT
If needed, revisit the U.S. History I tutorials. The four time periods in the Primary Source List correspond to the four Units of the course. Navigate to the most relevant course unit and explore tutorials. Then find information to relate each primary source to its specific historical context.
Part 4: Interpret its Meaning: Main Point and Purpose
What is the main idea or point of the source? Use specific evidence from the source itself to support your answer.
Why do you think this primary source was made? Provide evidence from your prior responses to support your answer.
For example, was its purpose simply to inform? To persuade? To sensationalize? Or something else?
Part 5: Use it as Historical Evidence
What are two historical questions this source could help you to answer?
What are two pieces of information the source presents that you should “fact check” (verify as true) by checking other primary or secondary sources?
This primary source shows one perspective on this event or topic. What are two other perspectives you should get to better understand this event or topic, and why?
Refer to the checklist below throughout the writing process. Do not submit your Touchstone until it meets these guidelines.
❒ Did you select two primary sources from the Touchstone 4: Primary Source List?
❒ Did you select sources from different time periods?
❒ Did you complete all sections of the template for both sources?
❒ Did you review the grading rubric and compare it to your responses?
❒ Did you review the sample to see an example of a completed assignment?
❒ Did you proofread your work for proper grammar, punctuation, spelling, and capitalization?

By this point, you have done a lot of reading on your research project and on the history of the United States since 1865. The Collaborative Annotated Bibliography hopefully is bulging with contributions of resources from our course text as well as other source materials you might have discovered in working on your research projects. In this assignment, you will choose a few key sources that will be important to your overall research project and examine them more closely.
Here’s what to do:
Review the entries made to date in the Collaborative Annotated Bibliography by you as well as your classmates.
Choose 3-5 scholarly entries that you intend to use in your research paper to analyze.
Please do not select a full-length book for this assignment, though you may select chapters from a collection of writings or such things as the primary source documents included in our course text.
Please also do not select the news media entries that you entered in Module 2 or any other non-peer reviewed (or non-refereed) publications. There will be a place for those sources in your final research projects, just not in this assignment.
After you have made your selections, read the full text of the articles carefully. Then, prepare an essay (approximately 750-1,000 words) that analyzes the key points the authors make. Your essay should:
Identify whether the documents are a primary source or a secondary source, and evaluate each one’s historic value.
Use the materials as well as other awareness you are gaining on your topic to assess how key historians who have studied your topic have approached it.
Analyze similarities and differences between the various historians’ points of view.
Address how the writings shed light on your own developing perspective on the topic.
Reflect on the time period(s) in which the historians were writing in relation to the contemporary issues surrounding your topic.
