Philosophy essay for Prof.Stewart

[Pin It]

Arguments on God

Worth: 200pts

Length: 1000 words min/max

We’ve covered two sets of arguments concerning the existence of God

• The Ontological Argument (pro: Anselm | con: Gaunilo, Aquinas, Kant)

• The Design Argument (pro: Aquinas, Paley | con: Hume, Mackie)

For this paper you’re asked to do three things:

1) Explain (in thorough detail) either the Ontological or the Design argument for God

2) Explain (in thorough detail) the corresponding objections to the argument you picked

3) Explain which argument you think is right and why. Explain why one is right and the other is wrong.

General Guidelines (Mandatory):

• All arguments should be explained in such a way that someone who had never heard of them could understand the arguments after reading your paper. When writing, imagine that you’re explaining the concepts to someone who is unfamiliar with them.

• When explaining arguments and counterarguments, do so as if you agree with the positions. Even if you think the argument is wrong, don’t let that show in your explanation. You’ll have the opportunity to critique all the arguments in section (3)!

• Relevant quotes (and proper page citations) should be employed for each position you discuss. Remember to explain the meaning of the quotes you use.

• Provide examples to help elucidate your or the philosophers’ points.

• Do not go off track in section (3). Remember that you’re evaluating arguments here. Even if you agree with the conclusion (that God exists or that God doesn’t exist), that doesn’t mean you have to agree that the argument is good. Take care to not introduce irrelevant information here. For example, if you’re discussing the Ontological Argument and its criticisms, section (3) is not the time to discuss a miracle you experienced, since that doesn’t have any bearing on the arguments. Keep things on track!

• Remember that we’re looking at the strength of the arguments here! Even if you agree with a philosopher’s conclusion (for instance, that God exists), that doesn’t mean you should feel compelled to think that their argument that supports that conclusion is a good one. It’s ok to concede that one argument is superior even if you disagree with the conclusion for personal reasons.

Specific Guidelines:

Ontological Argument:

• Take care to explain Anselm’s argument as thoroughly as possible. Go through each step and explain how it works toward the conclusion.

• Do the same for the criticisms (all three). Explain them as completely as possible. This will take more than a sentence or two for each one.

Design Argument:

• Make sure to explain the Design argument as comprehensively as possible.

• Remember that Hume approaches the issue in the form of a dialog. One speaker defends the design argument while another denounces it.

• Hume offers 3 principle arguments against the Design argument.

• Mackie’s points fit nicely with one particular criticism from Hume. Think of which one that is and incorporate it.

Recycling, Reducing, and Reusing

[Pin It]

In the Working Ahead section in Modules 1, 2, and 3, you were informed to collect items to be recycled and log a journal of these items. You were also instructed to select either Module 2 or Module 3 to collect these items.

Your assignment in this module is to submit your weeklong Recycling Journal, along with an analysis of your recycling efforts and an examination of the recycling process.

Be sure to examine what you have recycled in your chosen week and estimate how many grocery sacks of material you recycled—try to estimate the size. Results showing who recycled the most material will be posted by your facilitator in Module 5.

For this assignment, complete the following:

Part 1

Review your Recycling Journal for the week you selected. Write a report that covers the next two parts of this assignment.

Part 2

Based on what you identified as recyclable in one week and using this data, estimate how much garbage your entire locality or city could prevent sending to the landfill. Include the following:

What is the total population of your community? You may use reliable Internet resources to identify this information.
If everyone in your community recycled as much trash as you did for one week, how much garbage could your area recycle? To calculate this number, you can use your number and multiply it by the number of people in your community.
How much trash could your community save in a year? To calculate this number, multiply the weekly estimate for your community by the number of weeks in a year.
Do you think your community recycles enough? How can the US Government place more importance on recycling?

Part 3

Examine the process of recycling. Include the following:

Explain how recycled material is reused.
Describe what happens to recycled cans, bottles, and newspapers after they go to the recycling bin.
Examine the impact you have on creating renewed resources from these recycled items.

Support your statements with appropriate examples and scholarly references.

Write a 4–5-page report in Word format. Submit the report, along with your recycling journal

· Describe the differences between peaceful and violent changes in Latin American social structures.

· Compare Latin American attitudes to similar social systems elsewhere at the time.

· Describethe interplay of gender, ethnicity, and economic standing as a force in social change.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines

For a job you know well, create a questionnaire of five items that elicits employee reaction to the employees’ levels of compensation. Identify what information should be included in a job analysis and job evaluation in order to develop a job structure.

· Compare and contrast the features of exempt and non-exempt employee status in a table format. Speculate how employers benefit from having one type or another. Develop a recommendation for your organization about how to increase the probability that it is meeting all employment regulations

You have been asked to consider the question, “What is the most important issue or problem facing your generation?” Because we began the course with a search for issues, your first “report” should be an informative discourse on the issue you have selected. Please write a well-organized and enlightening essay which introduces the reader to your issue/topic. Your goal is to provide a general description of your issue which gives the basic outline of the issue, and brings the reader towards a contemplation of whatever complexities, elaborations, and refined and appropriately nuanced distinctions are necessary for really understanding your issue.

A further agenda of your work might include an approach to these questions as well: Why is this an interesting or important topic? What is at stake for society at large with this issue – how and why will it matter in the future? What other important issues or topics is your issue connected with? What are the major problems or dilemmas associated with your issue?

Again, this First Report does not have to contain any dazzling display of economic logic. For this particular work, you don’t have to describe in detail all the “economics” of your issue – that will come in your later writing. Your goal at this point is merely to describe your issue and to provoke an interest in the issue in the mind of the reader. Assume that your audience is a general public, and that, they are going to give you their attention in reading your somewhat lengthy essay. Imagine that your reader is perhaps a person who is looking at a magazine while waiting for their flight at an airport, or is reading an online article in a somewhat relaxed fashion; so that, they are precommitted to actually reading flowing text which is not just bullet-pointed or overly truncated.

Your Study Report should be approximately a 4-8 page typed work. My personal preference is for 1.15-spaced lines in a 11- or 12- font, with 1-inch margin
