Writing Homework Help

The final paper (6 full pages plus a bibliography) will be an analysis of an issue, to be selected from a list of options, related to the understanding of ethics that is the subject of an unsettled debate. You will explore the competing perspectives on the chosen issue and draw your own conclusions. The final should follow the following format: double-spaced, 12-point, Times Roman Font, one inch margins. Please use APA style citations in a MS-Word compatible format.

Instructions: Begin by brainstorming on the following questions: What are the most important arguments that may be offered in support of the chosen view? What are the most important arguments that may be offered against that view? Which position would you defend? Why? What is the most important objection(s) to your position? How would you respond? Your essay should summarize the opposing arguments in the literature and present your own critical analysis of the evidence offered by the opposing sides. You should take a side in the debate and defend your position. The essay should start with an introduction, where you motivate the topic, briefly explain the debate, and present your argument. Including a roadmap will help the reader preview your analysis. For both sides of the debate, your essay should provide an overview of the literature on the topic, the main arguments that have been made, and the evidence that has been offered in support of those arguments. In your analysis, which should constitute the main portion of the essay, present your critical evaluation of the arguments and the evidence. The literature overview does not need to be comprehensive. Focus on the works, with emphasis on modern philosophical material, that you think are most important/influential. This means that before you start writing, you will need to critically read the literature to identify the works you will discuss.
