Reading Responses for Unit 4
The Crisis in Education
1) Reflections on Little Rock from The Portable Hannah Arendt
2) The Crisis in Education (from Between Past and Future)
(750 words per response. Must be submitted prior to lecture in question)
Reading responses should begin by identifying a central question posed in your chosen text.
If there are important conceptual innovations introduced by Arendt in her framing of the
question, these should be made explicit and fleshed out. The bulk of the response should be
understood as a commentary on both the question itself and Arendts perceived answer to it. You
are very welcome to take a critical position viz. Arendts own conclusions, but in this case your
critique should take its point of departure from the terms made available in the text itself. An
external critique which simply dismisses the premises or terms of Arendts argument ought to
be avoided. NOTE: NO external research is needed (or wanted) for the reading responses. Avoid
all secondary sources (and avoid the internet, above all). You should be engaging entirely and
strictly with Arendts text. Do not seek inspiration, or any sort of aid, from secondary sources

Please read the midterm file for the instructions of this assignment. I will also attach some module and some readings that are from my course reserves. On each module there will be some require readings listed and you should be able to search it up and retrieve the data. For the most part you should be able to complete the assignment using the module lessons. If there is a required reading for the entire assignment I would say it is “Culver, K., & Giudice, M. (2017). Readings in the philosophy of law (Third Edition). Broadview Press. (E-text)”.

Truth, Propaganda, and Conspiracy Theories Assignment
Conspiracy Theories:
Propaganda and Social Engineering:
Fully answer these questions on your own document.
1) W.K. Clifford argues that it is wrong always, everywhere, and for anyone, to believe anything upon insufficient evidence. Do you agree? Should we hold ordinary people morally responsible for what they believe when the information environment is manipulated or deceptive?
2) Should it be legal for companies like Cambridge Analytica to utilize data to spread fake stories to influence behavior/opinions? Is this them exercising their free speech? Does this undermine democracy? Fully defend your answer.
3) What is the difference between bullshit and a lie, according to Harry Frankfurt? Why does Frankfurt think BS is more dangerous to society than lies?
4) Who should be in charge of content moderation concerning fake news? In other words, who should control what is considered a lie/false and what is true? Social media companies, the government, nobody? Defend your answer.
Requirements: According to the instructions
Before beginning this paper, make sure that you have completed Modules 2 & 3 and taken a look at my feedback from Paper 1. It is also highly recommended that you have read Byrd’s “How to Write a Philosophy Paper” from the Paper 1 Module. This paper is worth 10% of your grade in this course and, as a result, will be graded out of 100 pts total. Make sure to follow the following instructions and look at the rubric.
This paper will explain an argument that you have read on your applied ethics topic (animal rights, euthanasia, or global poverty). You will also begin to think of potential objections to this argument. So, in Part 1, explain one of the arguments from the paper you read in 2.2 or 3.2 on your applied ethics topic (animal rights, euthanasia, or global poverty). This will be the same argument that you explained in Applied Discussion 2 or Applied Discussion 3. Then, in Part 2, you will give three potential objections to the argument and explain which objection you think is the best objection to the argument you have chosen (and why).
In your final paper, you will be asked to explain and evaluate an argument. This paper is the beginning of that assignment and will function as a draft for the first part of Paper 3. This paper should be organized according to the rubric below, including an introduction and conclusion, as well as Part I and Part II as follows:
This paper will be graded on content, not length. That being said, you should aim for 2-3 pages. If your paper is too short, you wont have included all of the assignment’s necessary portions. Your paper should include an introduction, paragraphs devoted to the reasons for your position, and a conclusion. If your paper seems to be a bit long, make sure every word is necessary. You should be able to explain the concepts succinctly as well as clearly.
This is not a research paper, but if you want to use outside sources to explain the specific issue you have chosen to focus on, cite those sources properly. You may use any style that you prefer (APA, MLA, etc.), as long as you are consistent. This should be your own work. Do not plagiarize. See the Syllabus for my policy on this.
The introduction briefly explains the topic discussed in the paper (e.g., the specific issue related to your applied ethics topic) and includes a clear thesis statement. In this paper, your thesis should be a clear statement of the position the author takes (e.g. In this paper, I will explain why {author Fname Lname} believes that we ought to….)
Accurately represents and clearly explains the author’s argument. This should be organized to clearly express the argument. This section starts by stating the authors conclusion (e.g., Hooker believes that some forms of euthanasia should be legalized). Then, the authors reasoning (the premises of the argument) are explained clearly.
States and explains three plausible potential problems with the author’s argument. After briefly explaining objections, the student states (and explains) which of the objections is the strongest objection to the author’s argument.
Succinctly and clearly summarizes the topics discussed and restates the thesis.
Free of spelling and grammatical errors. Natural and appropriate word choice.
Discussion of different topics is clearly indicated in the textsmooth transitions between sections, easy for the reader to follow throughout.
Paper demonstrates original and creative critical thinking.
Requirements: 2-3 pages
Watch the following video:
Describe how Komodo dragons hunt. What would fans of the problem of evil say about this kind of thing happening in nature? Do they think a perfect God would create a world with this sort of event? Be sure to address the main parts of the problem of evil, including its conclusion. Then, share your own example of natural evil. Explain how this part of nature is painful for creatures experiencing it. Then, present an objection to the problem of evil from this course and discuss how this might explain why a perfect God would design a world this way. Do you think this explanation is successful? (Note: You dont have to agree with the objection or the explanation. This assignment involves thinking about events from the perspective of people who accept or reject the problem of evil.)
