In this paper, you will choose to write on one of the following two options: (1) Out of all the theories of human nature we have examined in the class, which one do you agree with the most? In this paper, you should begin by explaining in detail the philosopher’s theory. Assume that your audience knows nothing about the subject or the philosopher you are discussing. Be sure to include quotes from the text to support your explanation of the theory. You should also give your own examples to illustrate the ideas you are presenting. After you have thoroughly explained the philosopher’s views, you will give the reasons why you agree with that view. Be sure that these are reasons that anyone can understand, whether or not they share your religious background, political beliefs, or personal tastes. Of course your beliefs and opinions may inspire your agreement with the philosopher, but you want to try to persuade your reader to agree with you, and to do so, it is best to assume that your reader doesn’t share your beliefs. Imagine that you are a lawyer and try to give evidence to support your views. Finally, after your group presentation, you should explain a few objections to your view that were raised by your audience, and then end your paper by replying to these objections, again trying to convince your reader to agree with you.
