Due Now: "The Age of the Essay," by Paul Graham (handout). Write all over it.
Due Friday, 5/31: "What is Justice?" Synthesis Essay
Do we remember how to have a whole class discussion?
Craft
a research paper of 7-10 pages that provides your personal answer to the
question “What is justice?” You may base your answer on your personal reading,
as well as events in the news and in your own life. Feel free to scavenge from
previous essays (remember, however, that this is a research paper. This paper needs to demonstrate the ability to
conduct original, college level research. Gale
resources are for more reliable and age appropriate than general web sources,
though you may use both sources).
You
may consider other questions, such as who deserves justice? Who abdicates their
right to justice? Who decides who deserves justice?
This
paper requires parenthetical citations and a Works Cited page in MLA format.
