Midterm Assignment
Due October 13th
4-7 pages
You can choose either to address a theme such as 'the respect and dignity of human life' or 'utilitarianism' and discuss some of the various moral problems that we have looked at.
or
Discuss one of the moral problems we looked at, either abortion or the death penalty, and give each side of the issue before you yourself provide your opinion and argument
The first section of your paper should be a brief history of the issues. The second section of the paper should explain the arguments of the competing sides. The third and primary section of the paper should be a reasoned argument to a conclusion. I want to know what your thoughts on the issue are. Hopefully the essays we read and the information we look at will allow you to form a cohesive view of your own. Your job in this paper is to argue for that view and tell me why your argument has worth.
