Defend your view. A philosophical paper is structured like the defense of a thesis. This means that you must have a definite claim in your mind, state it clearly, and propose an argument in its support; in other words, you must provide reasons for your claim. The steps of your argument and the way they are connected should be clear for the reader, and the conclusion should be easily identifiable and follow logically from the argument.
Very important: paper format should be exactly what is said in this link

USE EASY AND CONCISE LANGUAGE TO GET THE POINT ACROSS.
Objection: the final paper should include at least one potential objection to your own view and your reply to it. In other words, after explaining your thesis and argument, you are expected to anticipate an objection that someone might raise against what you say. For instance, one might claim that your argument is weak, or it is flawed for some reason, or that your thesis applies only to a limited number of cases, or that there are evident counterexamples, etc. (these are only examples). You should then explain why, instead, your view is correct. This part should be included in your argument; it’s a good idea to place it right before the conclusion. Note: this is an objection to your own thesis or argument, not to the view of the author you are considering.
· Address the prompt completely. If the prompt includes more than one question or aspect, your paper should address all of them.
· State your thesis at the very beginning of your paper.
· Make your argumentative steps explicit: announce them in the first paragraph, and then follow them thoroughly.
· Use short sentences and a straightforward style. Do not try to impress with complicated phrases or terms you are unable to explain.
· Do not take it for granted that your reader already knows the topics that you are dealing with. Although it is your instructor or TA that will evaluate the paper, you are expected to define explicitly the main concepts that you are using.
· Make sure your paper shows that you studied and understood the materials.
· Use your own words and possibly your own examples. This demonstrates autonomy and capacity of reflection. Examples help the reader understand better what you have in mind.
· Remember to identify at least one possible objection to your argument and respond to it.
· Connect the conclusion of the paper to the thesis that you stated at the beginning.
· Plagiarism (passing off as your own the ideas or words of someone else) is not allowed in any form. Always credit your sources. Be aware that papers are automatically checked for plagiarism.
