“The Role of Free Will in Natural Evil: An Analysis of Human Actions and the Free Will Defense”
Free Will Essay Instructions
The Problem of Evil (suffering) is probably the strongest argument against the existence of God. It seems that an omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent (3o) being would prevent all suffering. Since suffering does exist, it seems unlikely (or even impossible) that a 3o being (God) exists. The Free Will Defense is probably the most popular response to the Problem of Evil, arguing that humans have free will and sometimes make morally incorrect decisions that cause suffering. According to the Free Will Defense, it is better that God allow humans to have free will than to force them to choose correctly. If the Free Will Defense is successful, however, the best it can do is explain how suffering caused by humans is not God’s fault. In other words, the Free Will Defense at best can get God (assuming God exists) off the hook for suffering caused by humans. The Free Will Defense, however, cannot get God off the hook for Natural Evil (suffering caused by non-human means such as hurricanes, tornadoes, diseases, etc.) Or at least the Free Will Defense cannot get God off the hook for all instances of Natural Evil. Humans seem to make instances of Natural Evil worse through climate change, inadequate responses to infectious diseases, etc.
For your essay, pick an action (or lack thereof) that a human (yourself or some other human) that apparently worsens instances of Natural Evil. It could be an action that apparently exacerbates climate change or furthers the spread of an infectious disease, or apparently worsens Natural Evil in some other way. Explain the action you have chosen and how it apparently makes instances of Natural Evil worse. If the Free Will Defense is correct, the action you explained was freely chosen and God (if God exists) cannot be held responsible for the effects of the action and apparently gets God off the hook (at least to some extent) for instances of Natural Evil. Do you agree with the conclusion of the Free Will Defense? In other words, do you think the action you described helps get God off the hook for at least some instances of Natural Evil? Give at least one reason supporting your position.
Your essay, at minimum, should be at least half a page (12 size-font with regular margins and double-spaced) and will be turned into a dropbox on D2L. The due date for this assignment is Wednesday, April 17 by 10 p.m. -
“Exploring Art and AI: Utilizing Artificial Intelligence to Enhance Research and Writing on the Works of Kara Walker, Damien Hirst, Yayoi Kusama, Shirin Neshat, and Anish Kapoor”
If you choose this option, you are encouraged to leverage Al tools to streamline your research and writing process. Begin by selecting an artist and a specific work of art from the provided list of artists. Utilize Al for research purposes, seeking insights into the artist’s background, the historical context of the artwork, and critical analyses. Additionally, you may use Al to aid in drafting and editing your paper.
The following are the most important requirements.
Transparency Expectations with Al:
• Al Utilization Declaration: Clearly declare at the beginning of your paper whether you have chosen Option 1, embracing Al assistance, or Option 2, relying entirely on human efforts. This declaration sets the foundation for transparency.
• Al Prompts for Research: If you opt for Al assistance in research, provide a detailed statement at the end of your paper outlining the specific prompts given to the Al. Clarify how the Al contributed to gathering information on the artist, historical context, and critical analyses. This transparency ensures that the intellectual contributions of both human and Al entities are discernible.
• hAI Prompts for Writing and Editing: Similarly, if Al is employed for writing and editing purposes, clearly articulate the prompts given to the Al. Specify the aspects of the writing process where Al was involved, whether it be drafting, language refinement, or structural suggestions. This transparency ensures a clear distinction between the student’s original ideas and those influenced by Al.
• Human Dominance in Creativity: Regardless of Al assistance, emphasize that the core creative and interpretive elements of the paper must originate from the student’s intellectual engagement. Al should be viewed as a supplementary tool, aiding in efficiency but not substituting the student’s capacity for critical thought, analysis, and creativity.
• Citation and Academic Integrity: Emphasize the importance of proper citation for both human and Al-generated content. If Al contributes ideas, ensure that these are appropriately cited as Al-generated. Uphold academic integrity by acknowledging the sources of information, ideas, and insights, whether human or Al-derived.

“Addressing the Contradictions of Capitalism: A Call to Action for Rent Control in the Bay Area” In the face of the ongoing housing crisis in the Bay Area, it has become increasingly clear that the inherent contradictions of capitalism are at the
Revise Article Analysis (Essay One)
Your first option is to substantially revise your Article Analysis Essay (Essay One). These revisions must go beyond merely fixing formatting, grammatical, and/or organizational issues we identified in your earlier versions. In addition to addressing those issues, you will also generate a strong thesis statement about your article, that includes a call to action, and uses new evidence from an additional article and from Capital to support your analysis.
For example, if your Article Analysis posited that
“the housing crisis in the Bay Area demonstrates the inherent contradictions between use-value and exchange value in the commodity form”
then your revised, argumentative thesis might argue something like
“the housing crisis in the Bay Area demonstrates the inherent contradictions between use-value and exchange value in the commodity form, and demonstrates that working people and tenants must “put their heads together… and compel the passing of a law” (Marx 416) that establishes rent control, just like tenant organizers did in the City of Pasadena (Zahra).”
In this example, you’re moving beyond a theoretical analysis of the issue you researched and using new evidence from new research (for this example I used this article) and new evidence from Capital to support your call to action (passing rent control).
Guidelines for Option One
Generate a 1500 word revision of your Article Analysis (Essay 1) or a 1750 word revision of your Film Analysis (Essay 2).
Your new draft must have an argumentative thesis.
Option One requires a call to action: What do we do to address the issues you uncover in your Article Analysis?
Option Two requires an argument for the efficacy/inefficacy of the film’s portrayal of Marx’s concepts. How well does the film depict these concepts? Why? What problems arise from the film’s depiction?
In addition to evidence from your earlier draft, your new thesis must be supported by at least two new pieces of evidence from the film/article and at least two new concepts from Capital (four new pieces of evidence, total).
This essay should follow MLA formatting guidelines, and include in-text citations and a Works Cited page. -
“The Impact of Polarization on Individual Perception: A Reflection on the CBS News Video” From watching the CBS News video, I have learned that social pressures can greatly influence an individual’s perception of a situation, especially in the context of political polarization.
Although this video from CBS News is from 2020, and some of the news it relays is dated, it shows how Americans with opposing views interpret the same situation. You might want to think about how social pressures can affect individual perception.
