Assignment

Description:

In these essay-style responses, you should express a point of view and support your view with

good reasons, evidence, examples, expert opinion, etc. High marks will not be achieved by

simply reporting back information from the text or other sources. Philosophical thinking and

writing involves more than presenting information; beyond doing this, you must also critically

assess the issue in question—this involves original thinking and analysis. Moreover, you should

attempt to come to some final position in response to the question and include evaluation of

others’ positions or views on the issues involved in the question. Work for originality and

development of critical analyses and evaluations. Aim for approximately 500- 600 words in your

main response
