What is happiness? (remember, this is not always a momentary concept)

NO SOURCES REQUIRED!

As for practical issues such as length, footnoting, etc. here are some guidelines:

• Double space using a 12pts. Font;
• The essay should be a minimum of five (5) full pages. There will be large point reductions for any essay less than five (5) full pages.
• There should not be any need to cite. The purpose of the essays is to develop your own thought process.
• Use I (capitalized, please!). After all, the essay reflects your own ideas.
• Follow formal writing using college level standard English.

• Ask yourself things like what are your higher pleasures, or what makes you happy? Include the following, but feel free to add to this:

  1. What is happiness? (remember, this is not always a momentary concept)
  2. What actions have you done to achieve happiness? Give two or three examples.
  3. A right action must be ethical (although it need not conform to societal standards). What made your actions ethical or right? Justify your answer.
  4. What do your actions say about your values and concept as a person?
  5. Choose someone you think exemplifies the ideal ethical person. Explain who and why.
  6. Compare your actions (from #3 and #4) to the person in #5.
  7. Conclusion: Where to you go from here? How can you better achieve happiness, in its highest sense?

  Your essay should be a minimum of five full pages. Use 12pt. Times New Roman font, normal margins and double-spacing. You should not need to quote, so dont worry about MLA or other format.
