Context
In her introduction to her book The Human Condition, Hannah Arendt argues that blindly following the development of technology and scientific knowledge is dangerous, and that it is necessary to pause and “think what we are doing” when we pursue such progress. In 2022, her warning feels more necessary than ever. Today, a wide array of technological, social, cultural, and political movements promise to improve the human condition. But without a careful, thoughtful evaluation, they could also do harm that we do not currently foresee or are only beginning to recognize.

For this research paper, you will be selecting and investigating one of these developments that YOU think poses a particular danger and arguing that it represents a lack of, to use Arendt’s phrase, “thinking what we are doing.”

Prompt
Write an argumentative research paper in which you identify an example of failing to “think what we are doing” in 2022. Indicate the specific ways in which your chosen topic poses potential dangers and illustrate with evidence from your research. Consider counterargument along the way, acknowledging why some people don’t recognize the dangers you are pointing to. Finally, indicate a way forward: what do you think we should do about this issue?

Essay Organization
Introduction
Start by introducing your topic in general terms. Briefly describe how it started and where it stands today. Indicate the major stakeholders involved in the issue. Finish with a thesis statement in which you claim that your topic represents a lack of thinking what we are doing and indicate, briefly, why. Finally, give a brief statement of what you think we should do about this issue.

Body
Develop your essay with multiple argumentative body paragraphs. Each body paragraph should begin with a topic sentence that is either a claim (one reason in support of your argument) or a statement of counterargument (one reason others disagree). Topic sentences should be followed by evidence/support drawn from your research and your own reasoning. Argumentative paragraphs should include paraphrase/quotation from appropriate sources in support of the topic sentence claim. Counterargument paragraphs should include evidence or reasoning that refutes or concedes the counterargument claim.

As a whole, the body of your essay should support your thesis (that your chosen topic represents a lack of thinking what we are doing), both by presenting evidence for your claims and by presenting and refuting counterargument.

Conclusion
Your conclusion should briefly summarize your argument, highlighting major points, and close with a “call to action”: what should your readers do now that you have alerted them to this problem?

Requirements
Your essay must draw on a minimum of 5 sources of which 2 must be scholarly
MLA format

Prompt: In a well-organized essay with specific detail, explain how one creates a quality college-level essay.

You may wish to consider:

What elements or steps go into the completion of a “college-level” essay?
How do you begin? How do you end?
Where is a thesis statement to be included–and why is it important?
How do topic sentences help to organize your writing? How do they relate to the thesis?
What is the best way to proofread your essay?
What is the most important part of the process?
How and why is specific detail essential?
Length: Five paragraphs, each of which are eight to twelve (8-12) sentences long.

Sources: You should use your textbook or any of the resources on Canvas. However, any outside source you cite from must be properly cited. This means putting the quote in quotation marks and using parenthetical documentation. If you borrow an idea, be sure to cite that as well.

Quotes: You must have at least one quote in each of the body paragraphs as well as a “famous quote” in either the first or last paragraph.

Works Cited: Required.

Point of view: You MAY NOT use the “I” or “you” point of view. Rather, you should write objectively and when necessary, use “the student” or “the writer.”

In this unit, you learned that the characteristics of a population at a given time can be represented graphically using birth and death rate data, among many other parameters. In Part I of this activity, you will work with a simple data set to create a human survivorship curve and answer questions about the results and the data itself. In Part II, you will work with interactive age structure diagrams in an online simulator to analyze population growth trends for both China and the United States. For an example of an age structure diagram, see the presentations for the Unit II Lesson.
