I am so behind!

This past 3 days i've gotten 15 hrs of sleep and been studying like a mad woman!! (Finals) I've been mainly focussing on biology ... but now I need to focus on history fast ... the test is tomorrow! We have to create three outlines for three possible essay prompts. During the essay we'll only have to write one thought!

OK! Here are the three prompts: you only have to help me with one I just need as much help as I can get .... and its not procrastination is stress, lack of sleep and bio and geometry terms straddeling around in my head!

a.) Philosophy and Religion: What is the impact of belief systems (philosophic and religious ideals) on political and social practices? Pick three different belief systems (philosophies or religions) and describe their impact on the political and social order of the civilizations in which they are practiced, noting what patterns you see amongst the three. [i'm doing Confucianism, Taoism and Legalism] Everything is going pretty strong on this topic but any websites would be greatly appreciated or an idea for a topic sentence I am always bad on those. mayber a thesis statement would be the most useful - My points are a little weak at the moment, but basically, its that in China your religion effects everything and is the basis of your lifestyle and how legalism and taoism are the extremes and Confucianism is the middle ground between both extremes

b.) Turning Points: What kinds of events have a lasting impact on a civilization? Pick three major events (each from a different civilization) that acted as important turning points, and make an argument about how each event had a lasting impact on its civilization, noting what patterns you see amongst the three. Key events will be the rise and fall of empires, important wars, major changes in government, religions, or trade, etc. [i'm doing magna carts, start of christianity what is a good third NOT in europe!] any help would be grade

How are modern nation-states influenced by the ways in which the ancients governed? Explain how the ancients governed and describe their impact on modern nation-states, using at least three ancient civilizations as examples. [i got nothing! I haven't started any concrete ideas i could use to get started?]

all help is GREATLY appreciated (only 14 ... no sleep ... never drank so much coffee!) help is all i need
-Thanks:)
