HW 10/1 due 10/5: The Bhagavad Gita

Watch the following  video clip  and answer the following questions on a sheet of paper:

1. Is Arjuna convinced that fighting his relations is acceptable by Krishna's arguments, or by Krishna's overpowering status as the god of all creation? If a simply human teacher had made all the points Krishna made, do you think Arjuna would have been convinced?
2.What is Krishna's most basic argument in favor of fighting and killing in the name of dharma?
3. How might modern readers whose religion or philosophy do not include reincarnation apply the principles of the book to their own life?
