Question: Essay 1: For this assignment, you will choose one of the three topics below (scroll all the way down to see the list of topics; they are given after the general instructions/information and are listed as ‘topic #1, topic #2, topic #3') and write an essay of at least 4 pages, double-spaced, in Times New Roman 12 point font; your paper should be written in Standard English and done in MLA format.
To submit your paper, click on ‘Essay 1.' You should attach a file that can be opened with Microsoft Word (doc or docx); do not submit a pdf or type in the submission box.
The purpose of the essay, regardless of the topic you choose below, is to analyze a philosophical question. Though there are hundreds (at least!) of philosophical questions, here are a few examples (Please note! These are simply examples of philosophical questions, NOT the topics for the essay; topics are below all of the instructions.):
- Who "owns" human life? For example, does anyone have the right to take an individual's life? The state? The individual?
- Does free will really exist? (And, if there is no free will, are people ever "responsible" for their acts? should we ever punish people?)
- What is the difference between living and being alive?
- How do you know your perceptions are real?
- If God exists, why is there so much evil in the world?
- What is a person? Is it the mind, or the body?
