Cite references in apa format. Part 2
Written Assignment
Present a 3-page paper on your worldview of family, society, and political philosophy looking at it through the lens of the philosophers we have discussed this week. Remember, your personal philosophy is right for you, you do not have to agree with these scholars or anyone in the class. Please respect yourself enough to state your case, and others enough to allow them to state theirs.
Sample questions you may discuss (but you can come up with your own):
How do I see Plato’s philosophy in
in the society where I live?
I think Aristotle/Plato/St. Aquinas most represents my town/family because…
Explain, compare, and contrast your personal philosophy with that of one of these men.
St. Thomas was wrong because… (same for Plato and Aristotle)
Summarize each of the three philosophers’ position and explain how you see each of them around you in different ways.
Create your own topic based on one, two, or all these men.
Do not simply write a biography-paper
. The purpose is for you, as a college student, to dive deeper than a biography.
Assessment Criteria
Does the paper have a clearly formed question/statement using a philosopher/philosophical lens studied in this unit?
Does the paper discuss the author’s worldview on family, society, and politics as related to their chosen philosophical lens?
Does the writer give meaningful examples that illustrate his/her beliefs? Do those examples make clearer the ideas proposed in the paper?
Presentation of reasonable argument for why the chosen topic is important to the student’s view of society.
Part 3 For this week’s journal, please share what the most interesting part (lesson/discussion) this week was to you. How did that reading, or experience of thinking about it, change your worldview? Please explain how you thought before, and how the new viewpoint changed that old thinking into something new. Cite reference in apa format and minimum words is 300.
