Are non-monogamous relationships inherently any less ethical than monogamous ones? Why or why not? In your answer, be sure to carefully consider arguments discussed by Patricia Marino in Chapter 14 of Philosophy of Sex and Love. Be clear about the terms and concepts you use, and be specific about what could make a non-monogamous relationship ethical or non-ethical, in support of your thesis. Whatever position you defend, be sure to consider and respond to one strong objection to your argument.
On a separate cover page (which will not be counted in the page count) give your paper a succinct but informative title. Give the word count of your paper (not including title page or bibliography).
Your paper must have a clear thesis statement in the first paragraph (this is the main claim you will be arguing for).
Your paper should be organized with an introduction, body, and conclusion.
The introduction straightforwardly explains the problem set by the topic, what you intend to argue in the paper (this is your thesis statement!), and how you intend to go about it (giving a brief preview of your argument).
The body is where you analyze the issue and make your argument.
You will need to do some exposition of the philosophical views in question, as indicated within each topic.
Then you will need to respond to the question(s) posed about those views, and defend your answer. Think critically and make reference to texts and arguments we’ve studied to provide evidence for claims you make about particular views or arguments. Give reasons for the conclusions you draw.
Finally, consider and respond to one strong objection that a critic might make to your argument.
The conclusion is nothing more than a brief summary of what you have argued in the paper and why it matters, in the context of the philosophical debate in question. No new arguments should be made here.
