Refer to example essay that answers the same prompt. 
Make sure to include many intext citations.
Two authors: John s. Mill ( On liberty or other) and  Madison (The federalist.)
Prompt: In Democracy in America, Alexis de Tocqueville writes, “The moral dominion of the majority is based in part on the idea that there is more enlightenment and wisdom in many men combined than in one man alone, more in the number than in the choice of legislators. It is the theory of equality applied to minds.” What does he mean by this claim, and how does he characterize the “theory of equality applied to minds” more generally? Compare and contrast these arguments with ones drawn from at least two other texts we have read so far this semester. Do those authors agree with Tocqueville about the risks associated with such beliefs?

Imagine that you are a journalist and your task is to uncover a case where reasoning severely malfunctions. For this essay, you are to research some thing that actually happened (e.g., in history, in current society, in the digital sphere, wherever); and then you are to take us through the story of how reasoning malfunctioned. Get as detailed as possible with the story and, most importantly, show me your original analysis. I want to see how you uncover bad reasoning. Your essay should be structured as follows:
1) Have an introduction where you tell me: a) what case study you’ll be discussing; b) what your thesis is (the thesis should tell us exactly WHAT is malfunctioning in the reasoning); c) the outline of your discussion (e.g., what you will be discussing first, second, and third and so one). 
2) Body paragraphs where your point is analysis. Each paragraph should provide a puzzle piece to the story that you are telling. Make it original. Apply the concepts that you are learning. Get really detailed in telling us how the reasoning malfunctions. 
3) A conclusion. Tell us what you have done in your discussion and also why this case study is important. 
4) Citations. Any time you are using someones quotes and also ideas, you must cite. Did you know that even if you use part of an old paper for another class and you don’t cite yourself, that’s plagiarism? I know! That’s wild. Now that you know, cite EVERYTHING that is not your own original idea because turn it in will flag it. I do not care if it’s APA, MLA, or Chicago, just cite consistently. For a reference on MLA and APA citations go to: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/section/2/10/Links to an external site. 
5) Do NOT use someone’s analysis. I repeat, this must be your original analysis. One concern is that if you are using someone else’s analysis it will be flagged by the turnitin software and that’s plagiarism. So, don’t use some journalist’s article. Do not look for someone to organize the information for you. Rather, start searching around for an interesting topic and then find a rich source of information that you can analyze yourself. Now, here’s the thing, I’m a realist: you may have to rely on other journalist’s stories in order to get to the direct source. For example, suppose that you google, failures in reasoning and you get a Vox article about McArthur Wheeler and the Dunning-Kruger Effect. Good. Now use that article to get to the direct source of the information; and rely on your own analysis of that information. Please use confirmation and disconformation reasoning as the example and how those who participated in the insurrection reasoning malfunctioned. 

Using two of the six moral theories we have discussed (Virtue Ethics, Natural Law, Utilitarianism, Ethical Egoism, Deontological ethics, and contractarianism, discuss one of the moral issues found in our text book.  I suggest you try to use a specifc scenario and analyze it, rather than discuss the issue in abstract terms.   Recommended length 4-6 pages.
Just to make sure you dont do the same mistakes I did on the first paper so please read this carefully (section makes some good points but too vague and general. Try a specific scenario, not just abortion in abstract because utility is vert fact specific. For Kant you must apply categorical imperative. You just take a couple of buzzwords from Kant reinterpret those terms and then call it deontology.)

This is a 2-3 page philosophical essay solving an aporetic cluster. It needs to address the conception of justice and apply it to the cluster. It also needs to use two philosophers to defend the position. 

research a current bioethics case in the news-media (either video or print) that has
occurred in the last two years.
Once you have researched the case that interests you, compose a case study research paper (1000 words
minimum) using the same method for the case study analysis for the Crigger case studies (but not in the
same outlined form). Remember that this is a philosophy paper (different format as the earlier case
studies). Once you have chosen your bioethics case, summarize the case in a narrative style similar to the cases in
the Crigger text, making sure to carefully document all citations from your sources (APA).
Next, using the case study method used for the Crigger cases, you will present your own solution to the
case, clearly explaining why and how you reached this solution.
Lastly, remember that this paper is a philosophy paper and argumentative in nature. Thus, there must be a
clear thesis statement in your opening paragraph (introduction), and then you must defend this thesis in
the body of your paper.
A good paper will have a solid thesis statement that is clearly and persuasively defended. Moreover, a
good paper will incorporate some of the key terms and concepts used in the course.

While doing exegetical analysis of at least two theorists from the second half of class, construct and argue a thesis about one of the following issues: Issue #7  The limits of economic demands in the feminist struggle. 

Minimal 12 sentences for the essay questions. Logic translations should only be a minimum amount of sentences.
Make sure to number your questions so that I know which one you are on.
Sentential Logic

a. Only if this exam is difficult will I both have to review the modules and also get a scoop of amersands ice cream after. 
b. Any time I try to log in to Canvas the machines get smarter.
2. Fast vs. Slow Thinking
In what ways is society failing to Fast think during the pandemic? And, how can we become better ‘Slow thinkers’? Describe your view, using a) your own original examples; b) The concepts from the Kahneman reading.
3. Rhetoric and Good/Evil
Give a detailed explanation for how rhetorical devices can be used for good and also for manipulation/power. Use only your own explanation and examples that we have not gone through in class.
4. Robustness Analysis
Why are two heads actually worse than one? Apply the method of robustness analysis to how we are currently making decisions during the pandemic or improperly making decisions during the pandemic. 

For the Philosophy of Education enthusiasts who love to debate the nature of philosophy in the CURRENT educational context of South Africa and worldwide, here is the task just for you!
Read and review the five compulsory readings and more from the reading list in the Module Outline. 
Section A: 1000 words (Tutorial 4, Look at Slide 7 to 35 title: Assignment 3)

Here it is important to note that Constructivist theory talks about Learning through inquiry, curiosity, tactile teaching and learning activities. Use practical applications of this theory to relate it to the classroom realities of South Africa. In our chats discussion, I will give you more examples of this that I’d like you to include in the assignment.
