As was agreed upon in class yesterday, the quiz in Intro to Ethics has been postponed until Monday.  

Next assignments

Next Friday, February 24: Quiz 1, covering all material until the quiz.

 

For Friday: make a list of reasons that people give to think that homosexuality is wrong.

               For fun and good practice, formulate these reasons as logically valid arguments:

1. Premise:
2. Premise:
3. Conclusion: Therefore, homosexuality is wrong.

For Monday, read EMP Ch 3- Topics: Simple Subjectivism/Emotivism and HOMOSEXUALITY

Due this Monday, February 20: Create a detailed study guide covering all material, readings and concepts thusfar. This is for your benefit, so you want it to be comprehensive and detailed.

                             

 

I want to  make clear that chapter summaries can also be outlines: either would be fine.

Also, many people are not summarizing or outlining the whole chapter and/or providing adequate details about the chapter. Something that could help ensure that you have adequate details is this: suppose there was going to be a test over any aspects of the chapter and you could use your summary/outline for the test. Make your outline/summary as detailed as you'd want it to be to use for this test!

For Monday, re-read EMP Ch 2.


Read this article: "What's Culture Got to Do with it? Excising the Harmful Tradition of Female Circumcision"  

Do some YouTube research on "female genital mutilation" and/or "female circumcision."

Read this on how to write a philosophy paper:

Dear Students,

For Monday, please re-read EMP Ch. 1. We will finish discussing those cases and the themes of that chapter Monday.

Let's move the EMP Ch. 2 detailed summary assignment to a Wednesday due date.


Thanks, NN
