English 1C Two Essay Topics for Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari
See this Guardian critique.
Essay #1: Support, refute, or complicate Harari’s assertion that the “agricultural revolution was the greatest crime against humanity.”
Essay #2: Support, refute, or complicate Harari’s assertion that “modern liberal culture” is a fraud.
Develop an argumentative thesis that addresses how effectively and convincingly Harari presents us with a dark, gloomy, pessimistic view of home sapiens. What is his dark view? Does he approach his subject with adequate logic, support, and scientific evidence or is his dark vision the result of too much license with his own subject interpretation of the evidence he provides? Does his interpretation make his analysis more compelling or reveal a bias that makes his presentation more of a propaganda piece? Explain. Make sure your essay has a counterargument-rebuttal section.
