“Debating Against the Argument for Veganism” Dear [Name], I am writing to you in response to your argument in favor of veganism. While I appreciate your passion for this topic, I must respectfully disagree with your stance. As
I had written an essay and recieved a 65% I will add my teachers feedback and my original essay.
Essay #1: Evaluating a Controversial Argument
Purpose: The objective of this assignment is to practice persuasive writing, which includes the elements of logos, pathos and ethos as well as practice writing an evaluation specifically in the form of a debate against an opponent.
Topic: Evaluations are everyday arguments that help individuals make decisions. Should I vaccinate my child? Should I become vegan? Am I spending too much time in front of the TV? These are topics that become loaded as soon as they are debated. If the topic is not debatable, then it is not a strong evaluation. Your first step is to find someone whose argument you wish to debate. Your next step is to prepare your counterpoints against this person’s argument. To help your audience reach a decision (which side of the debate they support), it is important to establish compelling criteria that weighs the evidence before leading to a judgment. A strong evaluation includes opinion based on observation and fact, not based on personal assumptions and biases.
Writing Task: Begin with research. What are some arguments individuals in the public eye have made that you find yourself disagreeing with? You will need to choose one and write a letter to that person disproving their argument. The argument you choose to debate can be a speech (maybe from a political figure like our current president, Joe Biden), a lecture (possibly from a professor, such as Jordan Peterson), a podcast (like Joe Rogan), a blog (choose someone credible), a tweet (like say Kanye West), and the list goes on. The reason why your argument should be written in the form of a letter is to raise your awareness of audience and purpose. You will need to find the original source (the argument you are debating against) and include it in your Works Cited page. Then, do the following:
Write a letter to a person whose argument you wish to evaluate and ultimately disprove.
Tips:
* Contextualize the argument. Background information will be needed, so make sure to provide it (i.e. who, what, when, where). Be very specific. For example, is the tweet you’re analyzing in response to a bigger issue? You will need to clearly identify the issue itself.
* Brainstorm the argument by creating specific criteria. For instance, you might want to begin by asking, “Does this argument violate any person’s rights?” Or you might want to ask, “Is this argument based on biased opinion?” Remember, a strong evaluation is not going to be based on your personal preferences or assumptions. For example, if you’re evaluating an argument against chocolate, you shouldn’t argue that the writer’s argument is weak because you love chocolate.
* Be persuasive by considering the logos, pathos and ethos of the argument you’re evaluating. You might want to ask yourself what evidence the argument provides, how the writer of the argument tries to build credibility, and how the writer tries to appeal to the emotions of the reader. Avoid aggressive, offensive language and work on your stylistic flow. The biggest risk when writing a letter is losing the attention and focus of your audience, so it’s important that you consistently try to engage with your audience throughout the letter.
* Since you’re critiquing your opponent’s argument, identify fallacies in the author’s line of reasoning.
* Do research. I would like you to use two credible sources: one source should be a credible media article (preferably from a newspaper or magazine) and one source should be a scholarly article (published in a scholarly journal). You must provide a Works Cited page that includes both outside sources as well as the original argument you’re analyzing.
Your evaluation should be 4-6 pages and should follow MLA rules. For more on the MLA structure, please visit the Purdue Owl link I posted on our Canvas page. -

“The Uncertain Fate of Ignatius and Myrna: An Analysis of the Ending of A Confederacy of Dunces”
Assignment: Plan, write, and revise an essay of about 1000 words, more or less, that argues your interpretation of the ending of A Confederacy of Dunces and offers your own conjecture of how Ignatius and Myrna will fare after it. Your interpretation and conjecture will need to address these essential elements. This is a point-by-point organization here, though other patterns of development are possible.
Introduction and Thesis: Introduce the novel, Ignatius J. Reilly, Myrna Minkoff, and the general plot development, including the ending–briefly. Set up your concept characterizing Ignatius’ and Myrna’s relationship and the factors of the plot that lead to the ending. Make your thesis insight that offers your conjecture of what is most likely to happen next, beyond the conclusion of the novel.
Ignatius. What about his personality, tendencies, thoughts, feelings, and actions, as well as how he affects others and is influenced by them, contributes to your interpretation of the ending and your conjecture of what happens beyond it?
Ignatius and Myrna. What is the nature of their relationship, past and present?
The ending. How does this climactic sequence happen, and what does it mean, given the indications about Ignatius, Myrna, and other characters as the plot has developed?
Your conjecture. What happens next, and what indicates that? This element is the point of emphasis of the essay, so develop it very carefully and thoroughly.
You have the choice to combine elements or treat each one individually. Support each aspect of each part as specifically as possible with extensive and specific supporting ideas and examples from the novel, taking care of our familiar features of coverage and depth. Select main, representative passages from the novel and illustrate them thoroughly in order to demonstrate how each aspect exists, and how it changes or not as the novel proceeds.
Conclusion. Sum up the thesis and the train of thought of the essay as a whole, focusing on the ending and what you say is likely to happen next, and why. As you conclude, address this question: What does the insight you have derived about the ending and its aftermath mean or imply? What does it tell you about human nature, relationships, fate vs. free will, or another point to make as a finishing thought? -
“Exploring Moral Theories: Applying Philosophical Concepts to Contemporary Issues”
Hide Assignment Information
Turnitin™
This assignment will be submitted to Turnitin™.
Instructions
Goal: A deeper understanding of the chosen topic.
Course Objective(s):
CO1: Identify historical beginnings of philosophy and contemporary positions concerning the nature of knowledge and reality
CO3: Distinguish the basic concepts of moral and political philosophy
CO4: Evaluate arguments for and against the existence of God
CO5: Evaluate various approaches to the mind-body problem
Task:
While some assignments can be a bit more creative, learning how to improve your skills with written communication is also a good thing. Toward that end, the goal here is to write a paper of between 500-750 words on one of the three options below:
Use one or more moral theories from weeks 6 and 7 to justify what you believe is the right thing to do concerning some contemporary situation.
Define and describe the theories you use.
Describe the contemporary moral situation and why it is a moral situation.
Describe how the theory provides the reasoning/justification to demonstrate your proposed solution is the best one.
You have encountered various theories of knowledge and theories of being in this course, beginning with Plato/Socrates (as well as pre-Socratics like Parmenides), Descartes and the rationalists, empiricism, and Kantian constructivism. The phenomenological method as described in Week 7 can also give us tools for a theory of knowledge. Use one or more theories from epistemology and/or metaphysics to discuss what kinds of things you can know and how you can claim to know what you know.
Define and describe the theory or theories that you use to make your claim.
Say something about the range of possible knowledge that you can legitimately claim as knowledge. That is, does it include only knowledge of what can be sensed and whatever is physical? Or can we know abstract objects like universals? Can we have knowledge of more spiritual or esoteric realities, like the soul, God, religious doctrines, etc.?
Explain the reasons that support your viewpoint by providing arguments that are in dialogue with relevant thinkers discussed in our course.
Use one or more theories from weeks 3-5 and 8 to demonstrate humans have a purpose.
Define and describe the theory or theories you use to make your claim.
Keep in mind that the goal is to argue humans have a purpose. If you do not think we have one, consider another option.
Be sure your argument includes like-minded philosophers on the type of purpose you claim humans have.
Your paper will be written at a college level with an introduction (one that states an argumentative/interpretive thesis and that indicates what would be covered and in what order), body paragraphs, a conclusion, along with in-text citations/Works Cited page in MLA, Turabian, Chicago, or APA formatting. Remember—any resource that is listed on the Works Cited page must have an in-text citation in the paper to match or this is considered plagiarism. [Note, MLA style is preferred, but depending on your degree area, you may be more familiar with APA or one of the other styles. You can use any approved style, just be consistent.]
You may only submit files compatible with the Turnitin system. Please do not try to submit a PDF. Please do use MS Word.
Resources:
Word is free to students – if you encounter an issue please write for guidance
Tutor.com – information available in the syllabus
APUS Library
Citation and Reference Style: You will follow the citation style that is common to your discipline/program (APA, Turabian, Chicago, or MLA). If you do not have a citation style, please use MLA style. OWL Purdue is a great resource for the formatting of citations and resources.
