COVID-19 & the Role of Community

This is 25 % of my final overall grade. I want to pick topic 1.  The vocal point of my essay should focus on Meditation 17 by John Donne -- his article is about us being connected as one. I attached the reading below-- with some notes to help you understand. You have to argue the merits and drawbacks about his perspective as a response to COVID-19 outbreak. You have to connect the reading to what she is asking in the prompt which is listed below. 

THIS IS WHAT YOU WRITE ABOUT:  

As you examine what is happening in the world around you with COVID-19 and our response to it, consider the differing perspectives our author has taken about the role of community. What philosophy of community underlies your response, your family or friends responses, or your country’s response to the COVID-19 virus? What might the impacts and implications of such an outlook be? 

All papers must include the following:

● at least 1500 words

● connections to our readings 

● an underlined thesis statement

● multiple paragraphs developing your thesis statement

● some sort of acknowledgement of alternative opinions

● MLA for documentation and formatting

You don't have to worry about comparing to another reading I will do that and you don't have to cite.  If you have any questions please text me.
