My expectations for this class is mainly to learn the mores and norms of each religion in Jerusalem as well as how they clash within the society to a larger and more in depth response than "they fight". I would also like to know the non-clashing parts about how they all have certain "everyman" thoughts on humanity and somehow begin to see people as only people and not as a religion.
I am very interested to hear the discussions on class because I feel more like an outsider looking in because my main focus has been eastern asian studies. I do not have any strong ties to Jerusalem but am more interested in hearing the sides of different backgrounds on top of I find religion fascinating.
The only thing I can see in difficulties of the class is me starting off naive in this subject and most likely making someone very angry because of my lack of education in the subject haha.
I found the research to be amazing. To find all aspects of the culture and somehow having to place this into a collection to be seen in Washington D.C. without making a mistake or somehow misrepresentation a culture in the presentation.
Hope the class goes well and I can learn all that I wish, even if its not indepth enough just having a little knowledge on the subject would be great.
