PHIL 110G -- Equality and Justice -- Topics for Paper #3

Choose one of the two below:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Present and explain either: a) the one or two most plausible arguments (or

connected set of reasons) for animal liberation; or b) the one or two most

plausible arguments (or connected set of reasons) against animal

liberation. When you have done that, consider and evaluate the one or two

best objections to those arguments (or connected sets of reasons).

If you are doing this as a short paper: Draw on the assigned readings for

the arguments/reasons and objections. You may go outside the readings

only if the arguments/reasons and objections in the readings are

insufficient (and not simply because you think you don't understand them).

If you are doing this as a long paper: You must draw upon at least two

outside sources. Be sure to use proper citation procedure and quotation

format.

2. To what extent is it an individual's own responsibility to provide for

their own health care? To what extent is it a social responsibility to

make health care available? Explain, support and defend your position.

(If you are doing this as a long paper, you must draw significantly upon

outside sources. Be sure to use proper citation procedure and quotation

format.)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Length: 1000-1500 words for a short paper.

1600-2200 words (and at least complete 5 pages) for a long paper.

Also: The long paper must involve significant outside research and

analysis (and proper citation and quoting of sources). It is not

just a "thought" or "opinion" paper.
