Ideal Society – Required for All Position PapersDevelop a paper that addresses one of these twelve issues by analyzing and evaluating the evidence from diverse perspectives. In addition, one of the following six essays must be used as a reference in your paper. These selections include an excerpt from Utopia by Thomas More, an excerpt from The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli, the Declaration of Independence drafted by Thomas Jefferson, the Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and I Have a Dream by Martin Luther King, Jr. There are many topics discussed in these selections that are still relevant in today’s world. Each of these selections can be found online as pdfs in the position paper folder. Topics such as health care, marriage, religion, education, the economy, individual civil rights, and the legal system lean on many of these ideologies to support their views of better society. Select one of the readings on which you would like to focus, and the questions that follow the reading below will give you a general idea of whether or not that essay is relevant to your research. Utopia – Thomas More*More indicates that in the England of his day many people loafed or engaged in unnecessarywork putting an enormous burden on those who engaged in useful work. Is this condition or any part of it true of our society?*What arguments can you offer for or against the Utopian’s treatment of persons who are incurably ill and in pain?The Prince – Niccolo Machiavelli*In the opening paragraph, Machiavelli claims that a ruler who wishes to keep in powermust “learn how not to be good” that is, must know where and when to ignore the demands of conventional morality. Can you think of any recent political event in which a political leader violated the requirements of morality, as Machiavelli advises?*Can you think of recent events supporting or disproving the view that cruelty can be beneficial to society?*Machiavelli declares that “one must consider the final result.” Do you think that he means any end, goal, or purpose of anyone justifies using any means to reach it? Give an example of this from today’s society / government?The Declaration of Independence – Thomas Jefferson*The Declaration cites “certain unalienable rights” and mentions three: “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” What is an unalienable right? What duties, if any, go with these rights?*Consider why a certain group is entitled to independence. You may want to argue thatadolescents should not be compelled to attend school, that animals should not be confined to zoos, or that persons who use drugs should be able to buy them legally.Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions – Elizabeth Cady Stanton*Stanton’s declaration is over 155 years old. Have all of the issues she raised been satisfactorily resolved? If not, which ones remain?*In our society, children have very few rights. For instance, a child cannot decide to drop out of elementary or high school, and a child cannot decide to leave his or her parents and reside with some other family that he or she finds more compatible. Compose a “Declaration of the Rights of Children.”I Have a Dream – Martin Luther King, Jr.*King says that his dream is deeply rooted in the American Dream. What is the American dream? Was the dream in 1963 the same dream we have today?*King delivered his speech more than 40 years ago. Is the speech still relevant? Has the African American community achieved equality in America?
