You paper should be an argument, so your thesis should be something like “In this paper, I will argue that _________”.

Description

For paper #3, I want you to develop your own topic and thesis based on the authors we have read the second part of this term. Choose something from Marx, Friedman, Adams, Mackie, Job, etc and develop your own ideas. You paper should be an argument, so your thesis should be something like “In this paper, I will argue that _________”. If you’re stumped for a topic, think about the papers we have written already. They have asked you to apply a given thinker(s) work to a problem (consciousness, civil disobedience). You can frame your paper similarly by asking “What would Marx (or whomeever) think about X?” where X is a philosophical problem or social issue. External research is not necessarily required, but may be necessary depending on your paper. Such research must be properly cited, of course. A clear thesis A brief introduction that focuses on outlining the paper’s argument A brief but clear explanation of key concepts. A well formed, clear argument for the paper’s position A brief conclusion that summarizes the paper’s argument Proper citations A complete works cited page. (Note: the works cited page does not count as one of the 3-4 pages for the paper Page numbers Evidence of editing for typos, grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc
