Due-Thursday, November 16th, submit through Canvas before class.

Your assignment is to perform a literature search and develop a position paper on the precautionary principle (1-2 pages, single-spaced, 12 point font, 1 inch margins). You have the flexibility to research this topic from various points of view (e.g., business owner – small or large, activist groups, comparison and contrast of both sides of the argument). It is expected that you will provide a list of at least 3 primary literature articles on some aspect of the precautionary principle and participate in the debate.

Please use “Writing Philosophy Papers: A Student Guide”, pages 64-70 as a guide for developing your position paper – it is posted in Canvas.
