Instructions: You will be, as a class, presented with a general proposition. You must take a position on that proposition which can 1) agree, 2) agree with conditions, 3) disagree, or 4) disagree with conditions. The purpose of this paper is to come up with an argument and reason it out so that the structure of the argument is sound and reasonable to a general academic audience.

 

Proposition:

Resolved: Civil disobedience in pursuit of justice and equality is always justified.

 

Format: 2 pages. Your paper must follow proper MLA format, with the proper information in the first five lines (Your name, Instructor, Class, Date (Day Month Year), and Title (Centered). The paper must have 1” margins, and be written in 12pt Times New Roman font (what you are reading right now) double spaced.

 

Due Dates: The week of September 6th.  

 

Grading: 10 points - Spelling, grammar, and punctuation are expected to be near perfect. Your job is to make an argument in support or against this proposition.  You will write a 2 page position paper on it, whatever you think the proper response to this is. You don’t need any sources for this paper. This is an exercise in establishing an argument and trying to prove a point. You will be graded on the strength of your argument and your use of reason.

 

Audience: You are writing for a general academic audience of 100 random people.

 

Rewriting: All essays turned in on time are eligible for rewriting! The turn-around time for this essay is intentionally very short. Get done what you can over the next week, and have something printed out ready to hand in. Extensions will not be granted for this paper, though they will be available for all other essays as circumstances warrant.

Like all essays in this class, this essay must be submitted in a proper document form to the Blackboard class site. If you prefer, you can hand the paper in by hand, but the class will run much smoother if you use Blackboard.
