Below I provided single key argument summarized into a thesis statement. Your job will be to write a 400 word response this thesis statement in which you either agree, disagree, or otherwise make an argument about the idea question. No sitting on the fence – try to pick a single claim and defend it. The challenge will be to persuasively explain what you think and why you think that way.

(Sayid Qutb, “The America I have Seen,” p. 4)

“The researcher of American life will stand at first puzzled before a wondrous phenomenon, a phenomenon that exists nowhere else on earth. It is the case of a people who have reached the peak of growth and elevation in the world of science and productivity, while remaining abysmally primitive in the world of the senses, feelings, and behavior. A people who have not exceeded the most primordial levels of existence, and indeed, remain far below them in certain areas of feelings and behavior.”

***I also attached below the reading that you have to use and the citation format as well.

******AND DO NOT JUST SUMMARIZE the reading, Try to take a stance on what the author is saying and then use your response to defend your opinion. The point and the challenge of writing this is to convince your argument.
