I‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍ntroduction In this class we will be writing four critical thinking and research papers on various topics that are relevant to our culture and society as well reflected in 1984. We will also be connecting concepts of critical thinking outlined in the textbook Thinking for Yourself. The paper should be approximately five to six pages including a works cited or bibliography page. The paper should include an introduction with a thesis statement that includes three to five main points. Each main point in the thesis should be covered in one or two body paragraphs with supporting details and evidence to back up the thesis statement. Supporting details, evidence, and direct citations from course textbooks 1984 and Thinking for Yourself. The paper should also include details and evidence from outside sources, cited in MLA format. The works cited or bibliography page should have at least six sources including 1984 and Thinking for Yourself. In other words at least four academic, credible sources from your own research. The Paper must be typed in an appropriate, legible font and size (. 10-12 pt Ariel, Tahoma, New Times Roman, etc) and in MLA format with a works cited page. P‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍aper #1 Topic and Instructions Legal and Illegal Drugs and Pharmaceuticals Write a critical thinking and research paper on a contemporary issue involving the current Legal and Illegal Drugs and Pharmaceuticals debate. Use your two course textbooks 1984 and Thinking for Yourself as well as at least four outside sources from your own research. Focus on how the sources present the issue and if the sources are seeking to objectively inform the public of the issue or if they are seeking to persuade the public to think or act a certain way about this issue. Below is a list of example topics, but you are not limited to one of these topics. Example Topics: • Legalization of Illegal Drugs • Addiction to illegal drugs • Addiction to legal or prescription drugs • Illegal drug trafficking • Crime and drugs (legal and illegal) • Pharmaceutical company monopolies Use relevant quotes from 1984 looking at the similarities and differences between our culture and society and the culture and society of the novel. Also refer back to Chapters 1 – 4 in Thinking for Yourself and discuss how well the sources incorporate observation, word precision, facts, an‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍d inferences.
