Instructions: Please choose three of the following questions, and write a short essay (300-500 words) in response to each. Choose only three questions.
You should aim to answer each question as fully as possible within the word limit, making sure to explain key concepts as needed, and giving careful attention to argument and analysis. Because there is a word limit, you should go straight to the point: avoid lengthy introductions (perhaps no more than a sentence) and unnecessary material.
Citations: Be sure to provide citations for all the material you use in answering the question, both material assigned for the class and all other sources you use to aid in understanding. This includes wikipedia or sparknotes, as well as any online summary or encyclopedia article or other scholarly work. Citations should be in footnotes and will not count toward your word limit. No separate bibliography is required.
Submission: Submit your answers in a .doc or .docx file to the dropbox associated with this assignment on canvas. Your submission should include at the top of the document your name, the class name (Phil 203) and the date of your submission. Multiple submissions are allowed up until the deadline; the last submission made will be graded.
