Each essay should be one full paragraph (5-10 sentences). Essays should be numbered (according to which question they are answering) and should be submitted all together as one document. 1. Explain why hard determinists cannot see people as responsible for their actions.  4.Come up with an example of your own to help explain how you use Mill’s Greatest Happiness Principle to determine which of two actions is ethically better. 3. What is the difference between acting out of duty and acting in accordance with duty? Why is it only the first of these actions that has moral worth for Kant? Students automatically get one point for following the directions on the exam [i.e., numbering the three essays according to the question they are answering and making sure each of their three essays is one full paragraph (5-10 sentences) in length]. Beyond this, students can earn up to 8 points for each essay. These 8 points will be assessed according to the following criteria: Understanding of Key Concepts and Arguments: Does the essay demonstrate a good understanding of the relevant philosophical concepts and argument(s)? Does it demonstrate an understanding of the key points and some relevant details? (3.5 points) Ability to Identify the Most Relevant Philosophers, Arguments, and Concepts: Does the students successfully identify the philosophers, concepts, and arguments presented in the reading assigned that are most relevant to the question? (2 points) Clarity of the Essay: Is the essay as a whole clear, focused, and well-organized? Are the sentences within the essay grammatical and clear? (2.5 points) Don’t outsource your own judgment (and don’t plagiarize): Don’t rely on internet summaries of these concepts and theories. This is a common “rookie mistake” in philosophy classes

i have uploaded files for this order.  Pick one topic and write about it The Godfather. One of the biggest criticisms of this novel is that it stereotypes all Italians (not just Sicilians). Do you think that this book stereotypes Italians, or gives them honorable characteristics (strength, family loyalty, etc.) that Americans as a whole should emulate? The Godfather. Write a paper that considers the role of women in the novel. For example, some argue that women are strong in the novel, but not in a contemporary way that requires overt power over others. Focus on one or two female characters. Jaws. Who is the hero of this novel? Keep in mind that heroes in bestsellers reflect or shape men in American society. You could, for example, compare Quint with Brody. Jaws. Discuss the role of the shark in the book. For example, does the shark represent innocent nature, revealing the corruption of Amity? Or does the shark have an active personality that represents evil? Jaws. Does Amity deserve a shark? Does the shark act as a way to reveal Amity’s flaws? Does the book argue that evil/corruption is always revealed?

requirements: tructure of the Paper:1.In the introductory paragraph, pique the reader’s interest by posing some of the central philosophical questions at stake in the issue you choose. End your introductory paragraph with a clear, specific thesis statement in the form of, “In this paper, I will argue that…”2.In section one (approx. 300-600 words = 1-2 pages), present the factual background information / context necessary for your reader to understand the contemporary moral problem you have chosen, and explain why it is philosophically meaningful / what is at stake.3.In section two (approx. 1200-1800 words = 4-6 pages), present, compare, and contrast the views of two authors we have studied on this issue.4.In section three (approx. 900-1200 words = 3-4 pages), present and defend your own position in response. Be sure that this is directly tied to your thesis statement in the introduction. outline: What is the contemporary moral problem your paper will address? As the nations of the world begin to produce a vaccine for the COVID-19 virus, the question of distribution has become a real consideration. Is it morally right for these states to provide the vaccine to their own citizens first? Or should distribution take place without consideration of state boundaries? This question calls into consideration several philosophical ideas: equality, utility, social contracts, ethics, global justice, and human rights. 2. Phrase this problem as one question, similar in format to these examples: Is it moral for the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine, by the wealthy nations that will produce it, to prioritize their own citizenry over the citizens of other countries? 3. What are some of the most important basic facts about this issue that your reader needs to know, in order to understand the context of this issue? This is not about taking a position – it is about first simply presenting some statistics and context for the situation. What is the current situation in which we find ourselves? Be sure to cite your sources. Present this information in 1-2 paragraphs or in a list. The COVID-19 pandemic is a global issue that has affected every part of our world. https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html The development of a vaccine for the SARS-CoV-2 virus has been an expensive project undertaken by several of the wealthier nations. Distribution of the vaccine will be resource-intensive and expensive See above Production of the necessary doses of the vaccine to achieve “herd immunity” worldwide will take months or longer. The highest level of mortality and rates of infection are found in a mix of wealthy (global north) and poor (global south) countries. https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality The debate over which groups should be vaccinated first has been underway for some time already and is not a settled question. https://www.pennmedicine.org/news/news-releases/2020/september/who-should-get-the-covid-19-vaccine-first Global cooperation is difficult during any health crisis, COVID-19 is no exception. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28802695/ 4. What is at stake in this issue, philosophically? Where are some of the main conflicts in values? What are the big philosophical questions or points of disagreement that are in the background of this issue? Answer with a list. The issue at hand is one of life or death for thousands (or more) of people. The communities that receive the vaccine first will be protected from the direct effects of the virus. Furthermore, vaccinated communities will begin the process of recovery in other areas (economic, social, etc), advantaging them even further. One of the conflicts is between the social contract formed by citizens and governments and the universal obligations we have to our fellow man. Some of the relevant questions include: How does one reconcile the obligation of a wealthy state’s government to its citizenry with the obligation of those within that government to humanity in general? What ideas of justice, fairness, and equality should be considered by those making these decisions? What portions of each possible decision can be said to be proper? To be wrong? How can the ethical frameworks we use to judge our own actions be extended to the communal problems raised by the pandemic? How should intentions, actions, and consequences be judged after the decision has been made? 5. Your paper will present, compare, and contrast two conflicting views on this issue, as covered in our course. List the authors, titles, and page numbers of the two articles you will be using. Also briefly summarize the position of each author in approx. 2-4 sentences each. Hobbes and his Leviathan Author: Thomas Hobbes Titles / Pages: Leviathan, pages 101 to 107 Position: Hobbes “Leviathan” owes protection to those who have surrendered parts of their personal autonomy to it. In this sense, Hobbes might further the idea that the state has a duty to its citizenry above that of a general obligation to humanity. This is only one line of argument that will utilize Hobbes’ work. Mill’s utility Author: John Stuart Mill Titles / Pages: Utilitarianism, pages 70 – 75. Position: Mill might ask us to consider whether we would maximize the utility of the vaccine by sharing it with at-risk segments of the population without respect to political boundaries. Mills might also propose that by giving the vaccine to those most likely to contract the disease, we would be reducing the suffering of mankind as a whole – a benefit not limited to those receiving the vaccine itself. 6. Begin to formulate your own response. You can do this in a list, an outline, or in paragraph form. Write the equivalent of 1-3 paragraphs. Consideration of the arguments of Hobbes and Mill can provide us with a jumping-off point with which to analyze the possible frameworks we can construct for answering the question at hand. Hobbes social contract could lead credence to the argument for beginning distribution of the vaccine with those citizens of the states which manufacture it. Mill might counter by saying that it is in all of our self-interest to vaccinate the most at-risk amongst us. A brief outline of the structure of my response follows: Highlight that the two positions are not irreconcilable. Show that Mill’s position could be viewed as superior, as it also allows for the fulfillment of the obligations Hobbes’ ascribes to the “Leviathan.” Show that a position built from the “Mill’s perspective” would allow for an outcome that is more beneficial to all parties involved, including the citizenry of the manufacturing states.
