WEEK FIVE ASSIGNMENT GUIDANCE

Notes and Advice

This paper is a demonstration of what you have learned about moral reasoning based on our examining of ethical theories

and specific ethical issues. As such, you should focus your attention on carefully spelling out the reasoning that supports

your conclusion, and relating that to the theories we have discussed in class.

You are free to write on the same topic and question you wrote on in previous papers or choose a different topic and

question.

If you choose a different topic, you would benefit from going through the Week One Assignment exercises.

For a list of acceptable topics to start with, see the options from the list of topics available in the online course. If you are

still unsure of your topic or of how properly to focus it into a relevant ethical question, you are strongly encouraged to

consult with your instructor.

You are free to draw upon the work you did in previous papers, and reuse parts that you feel were strong, but you are not

to simply recycle the previous papers. This paper should reflect the culmination of the development of your thoughts on

this issue, and many of the requirements for the final paper cannot be satisfied by a heavily recycled paper.

The consideration of an objection against your own view is a way of showing that your view has the support of good

reasons and can answer its strongest objections. Therefore, aim at identifying and addressing the strongest opposing

argument you can, bearing in mind that a good thesis should be able to respond to the best arguments for the other side.

Thesis Statement

The thesis statement is more than just a position statement of the sort you provided in the first assignment; rather, it states

the position and the primary reasons in such a way that the reader should have a clear sense of how the reasons support the

position, which is what will be spelled out and explained in the body of the paper. Please see the handout on thesis

statements available in the online course.

Checklist

This checklist can help you ensure that you have completed all of the assignment instructions.

Make sure that you

 Provide an introduction that starts with the question, describes the ethical problem (including the most relevant

how that reasoning supports your position.

revised statement of the thesis.
