Topics

• In countries such as Canada and the United States, people frequently hold protest marches against policies of governments they have elected. Do such protests represent virtues of these systems of government, or do they point to their inadequacies?

• Of the six types of government identified by Aristotle, Plato thinks aristocracy is the best form whereas Aristotle thinks polity is the best. What is your pick, and why?

• There are some “libertarians” who would like to see all governments abolished so that humans can return to the state of nature. Why would you support or not support such a proposition?

• Libertarian philosophers such as Robert Nozick contend that it is wrong for the state to engage in any programs that would alter social outcomes that are produced by the free and legitimate actions of individual citizens. What’s your take on that claim?

Essay Guidelines

General Features

An essay is basically a written argument for a position. That position should be the conclusion of the argument. It is also described as the thesis of the essay.

The purpose of an essay is to prove the thesis.

An essay has three main parts

• • An introduction
  • A body
  • A conclusion

Introduction

• The introduction to an essay must contain three important things:
  • Problem – State the issue or question your essay will be addressing together with a brief background and its significance.
  • Position – State very clearly the position you are taking on the matter.
  • Procedure – Briefly explain how you are going to lay out your essay in order to establish your position.

Body

• You must do two things in the body of your essay.
  • Systematically lay out your reasons for your position.
  • However, your essay is stronger if you address the-arguments on the opposing side to your position. Take, at least, what you consider to be the strongest argument on the opposing side and show that it is weak.

Conclusion

The conclusion should re-state the thesis and sum up the argument for that thesis
