5. Feel free to pick any topic that we discussed in classsince the mid-term exam that is not examined in one of the above prompts. If you choose this option, you will need to come up with questions that you will then need to answer within your paper while both explaining the position of one of the philosophers we read and presenting and defending your own position.

• On this assignment, is important that you stick closely to the structural guidelines posted on Canvas so that you will not lose points for poor paper structure. Don't forget to consider and respond to an objection to your thesis within your paper, regardless of the wording of the prompt (some of the prompts don't make it obvious what and how you should object and respond).

• 6-8 pages in length. 6 FULL pages minimum - there really isn't a maximum length requirement. Double space between lines - not between sentences (be careful with Word's default which adds an extra space between paragraphs - turn it off). Do not use any other slick formatting tricks in order to subvert the minimum length requirement.

• Please submit a copy of your paper in class on Monday, April 25th- late papers will result in a significant loss of points, so make sure you complete your paper on time.

• 100 points possible
