Need to write an 8-10 page paper on “The Chalice and the Blade” by Riane Eisler. The essay must be based on this book plus three or more other shorter sources, including websites and journal articles.

The FOCUS of the paper should be one specific aspect of the cultures talked about in this book.

The structure of the paper should be as follows:
Introduction – a brief description of your focused topic.
Context – one to two short paragraphs with historical and geographic setting details for your chosen culture, civilization, or other topical area.
Cultural description – about one page (flexible) of general description of the important features of the culture, civilization, or topic you have chosen, e.g. family structure, religion, economics and agriculture or other food production system, political system, etc.
Discussion and argument on your focused topic – the bulk of your paper should be devoted to a discussion of the focused topic, for example, “Changes in the Nomadic Lifestyle among the Fulani”, or “Childrearing practices among the Dogon” etc. You should use information from your book (“The Human Past”)and your supporting resources such as websites or other journal articles. Construct an argument or theme according to your interests, e.g. “the changes in the nomadic lifestyle have been mostly detrimental for the Fulani”. Support your argument with evidence from your resources.
Conclusion: Wrap up your argument with a succinct, well-written conclusion that brings your theme(s) together.

*Be sure to cite your references in the text as needed, especially when you make a direct or indirect quote, or use extensive material from a particular source. Example: (Smith, 1990).

Bibliography: Include all your sources, using a professional bibliography format of your choice, e.g. MLA or APA.
