Compare and contrast various philosophical positions

Critical Essay Assignment
Analyze various philosophical arguments to determine how they are used to support the overall positions and systems of particular philosophers and philosophies
Compare and contrast various philosophical positions, and their supporting arguments, to determine which position is more valid, sound, and persuasive
The student will craft their own original arguments and examples to harmonize with and support the overall positions and systems of particular philosophers and philosophies
The student will express their original arguments, explain philosophical positions, and critique and evaluate philosophical arguments, all while using good grammar, spelling, and writing technique to the best effect possible
Students must use one primary source text and at least one secondary source text.
A primary source for our purposes is an original philosophic work, such as any of the writings of Plato, Aristotle, Marcus Aurelius, Kant, Nietzsche, etc.
Secondary sources involve analysis, synthesis, interpretation, or evaluation of primary sources. They often attempt to describe or explain primary sources. Secondary sources include our textbook, peer-reviewed academic journal articles, etc. Non-scholarly sources, such as Wikipedia, History.com, or the dictionary, are unacceptable.
While paraphrasing is fine, the body of your paper should not contain more than 10% worth of direct quotes from outside sources. I want to seeYOUR analysis in YOUR own words.
PARAMETERS
A critical essay is a written assignment in which analysis and close reading of a philosophically significant, short passage is undertaken in order to illuminate a philosopher’s meaning or message. It is related to—but very different from—a persuasive essay (where a student makes an argument in order to persuade) or a research paper (where a student compiles information for various sources to support a thesis). Each philosophy student must complete a critical essay in order to successfully complete PHIL 1301.
The essay must be 500 words long plus a Works Cited page. The essay must be formatted in standard MLA format: 1” margins, Times New Roman font, 12-point font, double-spaced, pages numbered at top right with last name, first page formatted with information and centered title. Citations should be parenthetical and follow MLA conventions.
Here’s a link that explains MLA format you can refer to:
https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/24/
Students should decide on three elements to create a proper thesis to explore in their critical essay:
Choose a philosopher.
Choose a specific primary source written by the selected philosopher that addresses the chosen topic. Students should also use one secondary scholarly source.
Choose a philosophical focus/topic. Students must already have a passage in mind in order to choose something in that passage to focus upon.

HIERARCHY OF SOURCES
Each critical essay must be centered on one primary source selection. However, you may want to consult one to three other sources. You must be very careful and selective about using sources other than your primary source. Remember, this essay relies on your interpretation of a source, not your opinions, nor is it a research paper where you collect sources to support your thesis. Support for your thesis comes from your close reading of a text, the primary source.
How should you pick sources to use? Here is a guide for the order of importance:
The primary source (REQUIRED)
Commentary on the primary source by a contemporary of the philosopher
A well-known, established philosopher’s commentary on the primary source
A well-known thinker’s commentary on the primary source (other than philosophers)
Any philosopher or thinker
You may also consult books on word origins, the history of (Germany, Austria, etc.) where your philosopher lived, alternate translations, and lexicons (if looking at an interlinear translation).
Do not cite from these (though you may consult them):
Encyclopedias
Dictionaries (unless you are specifying etymology)
General introductions or textbooks
Do not cite OR consult from:
Wikipedia, Yahoo answers, or anything open-sourced or crowd-sourced online
Strangers you meet on the street
Friends, relatives or roommates who once read a book or saw a documentary on philosophy

The after-effects of the India-Pakistan partition

The India-Pakistan partition was one of the largest 2-way migrations in human history. India gained independence from the British Raj in 1947, and it led to the creation of 2 independent nations, India and Pakistan. The majority reason for this divide was based on ethnicity and religion. It started when the British came to India in the late 1750s and slowly gained control of the entire Indian subcontinent. The British Raj was harsh and quite deadly for the people of India. The British also played a major role in the partition of what is now India and Pakistan. The first time they tried to divide the state of Bengal along religious lines in around 1905. This led to the formation of the Hindu-dominated Indian National Congress (INC) and the Muslim League, which was formed in opposition to the INC. The 2 parties were together in the ‘Quit India’ movement against the British ruling government, but once the British left the 2 nations were against each other. The unrest between the 2 religious communities kept growing under the British Raj long before the partition. The partition has affected and still affects a lot of people from both nations.

This essay would have a brief history of the beginning of the partition and the history of the relations between the Hindu and Muslim communities. The details of the partition, the conditions, daily lives of the victims. It will also contain primary sources from people who lived through the partition and their experiences.

Talks about the connection between partition and memory and how certain words might trigger the victims that have been through the event. How people’s understanding of themselves has shifted, they identified with a certain ethnicity or religion but now it might just be ‘Indian’ or ‘Pakistani’. People have to start their lives all over again after being displaced from their homes.

Choose ONE of the prompts below for your Forum topic (see the General Discussion Forum Instructions, and the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric, for a complete understanding of what is expected and how your Forum participation will be assessed).
ATTAINING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE. What kind of changes could you make in your life that would be good for the environment that would have little or no impact on your happiness? Discuss what social psychological phenomenon could be used to effect wide-scale changes in other people’s behavior in these areas.
EYEWITNESS TESTIMONY. Investigate mistaken eyewitness testimony, and the social psychological phenomena that contribute to this tragic behavior (tragic because misidentification has resulted in the incarceration of many innocent people).

Discuss the social psychological phenomena that contributed to a SPECIFIC horrific event (e.g., the Holocaust or the Mai Lai massacre). Be sure to describe whichever event you choose to focus on, in light of the psychological phenomena you discuss. How might we use our knowledge of these social psychological concepts to reduce the likelihood that history repeats itself?
STUDENT CHOICE. Start a conversation on any area where psychologicalmethods and findings have been used to solve practical problems of human behavior and experience (do NOT recite something already introduced in the text). Students who choose to do this MUST include at least TWO (not one) credible citations/references that support the new topic introduced, to earn Credibility points in the grading rubric.
