Discussion question Philosophy

DUE FRIDAY 4/08

PHILOSOPHY

Discussion Question:

This module is on Political Philosophy, a branch of Ethics. How ought we to conduct ourselves in a social order? In today's charged political climate, it is undoubtedly one of the most controversial and contentious areas of philosophy. Participation in this discussion, as in them all, requires complete objectivity.

Carefully construct the ideal form of governance using the theories and principles discussed in this and the previous modules. Be prepared to defend your arguments. Provide counterarguments to your classmates ideal government utilizing good philosophical analysis. 

Any position is accepted, but reason must be free of fallacies, especially those of the ad hominem variety. Personal attacks will not be tolerated and will incur heavy deductions.
