writer's choice

 

· Assignment:  Read all the  articles listed on this page  (the articles are all written from a broadly conservative perspective, but the arguments about voting are worth considering regardless of ideology). 

· Write an essay answering the following questions about the ethics of voting:

. 1) All of the authors here make opposing arguments about the ethics of voting in the context of the 2016 presidential election. Which author do you find most persuasive, and why?

. 2) Do you have a moral duty to vote when you are able to do so?

. 3) When you do vote (out of duty or not), what should determine how you vote: your own conscience or the expected consequences of your vote?

· The essay should be from 750 to 1200 words in length.

· Properly cite all referenced material. Make sure they are cited accurately and correctly, using MLA format.
