Reading Analysis

April 8, 2013

Evaluate the argument presented in the article, “Putin’s challenge: The Circassians and the Winter Olympics.” (A link appears below.) Some of the issues raised in this article are themes we have discussed this semester – genocide, empirical expansion, religious conflict. Please also review the Hallmarks of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur (SNDdeN).

If President Putin wants to act from the perspective of Catholic Social Teaching, how should he respond to the allegations and challenges in this article? Why should he respond that way? In what ways are your recommendations consistent with the Hallmarks?

You may write your paper as a standard essay or, if you wish, you may write it in the form of a letter to President Putin. Either way, please be sure that it contains all the elements of good writing as outlined in the Written Communiation Rubric.
