Philosophers Debate Politics

Please respond to the following question.

In responding to this week's questions students need to keep in mind that these are "mini essays" more than "discussions", under 600 words.

Choose a side (be brave perhaps; take a side you actually disagree with). Using the writings of each given in our class text or at the Websites below, make your case for the side you chose and against the other side.
