“Before you attempt to answer either of these questions make sure you have a quick look at the Senate report on torture that is in the ‘Archive’ tab of Blackboard. You don’t have to read the whole report, there is a summary of its findings.
Answer the question (these are not ‘prompts’). Your introduction should contain the answer to the question, the main text should contain supporting argument.
‘Explain,’ ‘discuss,’ ‘Why?’ etc should always be understood to mean with regard to the texts. It is NOT OKAY to say whatever you think about a philosophy text. All claims, i.e. “Hobbes’ thought that,” “Hobbes’ said” etc must be supported with references and citations from the text book. If you say that Hobbes said something you must give page and column of exactly where he said it!
Do not reference or use any internet sources. Cut and paste passages from google, wikipedia, or any other online source will be considered plagiarism and will be reported. Please assume any suspect paper will be run through Turnitin.
Please write out the question or statement that you have chosen at the top of your paper.
Try to avoid cliche and unsupported generalizations.
Please include a word count.
Points will be deducted if these rules are not followed.”
