Essay Format:This is generally the format of what your essay should look like.Paragraph 1 — introduction to tell me where you are going. This paragraph includes or starts with a specific distinct thesis that states exactly what you plan to argue. It does not say “I will discuss…” Instead, state your argument and move on to prove it. If I have to wait until the end of the paper to figure out what your point is, you have already failed. Some students put the thesis sentence in italics or bold it. If you want to do this that’s fine. It helps me zero in immediately on what you will argue and may help you keep track of your focus.Paragraphs 2-5 — justifications. Each subsequent paragraph proves some part of your thesis. They start with and include sub assertions. These sub assertions introduce related bits of evidence and are in effect a mini thesis that makes a refined point about SOME aspect of the thesis. In other words, it pinpoints a specific part of the thesis and explains why the information you present is relevant. After the sub assertion, include your evidence — an example, quote, and citation, for example. You must include examples from the narrative. You can combine justifications in paragraphs as long as they relate to the sub assertion, which on a larger scale connects to the thesis. Start each new paragraph with new sub assertions and justification that highlights a another different part of the thesis. Continue until all parts of your thesis are illustrated and justified. Adjust your thesis if need be.Final Paragraph — add some deeper insight. You started with a thesis — what additional intellectual points can you add that both reflects the original thesis but seems to carry your initial concept further?Under no circumstances are you to attack anyone personally. Thoughtfulness, creativity and clarity will work in your favor. Simply repeating what someone else has previously said will not work well in this area. You will not get credit if you do not respond in a scholarly way.Response: This class does not feature peer reviews and no credit will be given for responses that are writing critiques versus analysis of ideas. See the guidelines in the content section.

Reflective Journal Task: Write a reflective journal consisting of FOUR (4) learning events from your recent past or present leadership experiences in an organisational setting that is formal (eg., work) and/or informal (eg., family, volunteer work, sport/leisure):a) THREE (3) of the FOUR (4) learning events must relate to leadership concepts discussed in the textbook.b) ONE (1) of the FOUR (4) learning events must relate specifically to BUSINESS ETHICS and how it relates to leadership. This is because business graduates should be able to identify and evaluate ethical dilemmas and provide reasoned alternatives for their resolution. c) A reflection of your leadership experience for Assignment Two may be included as ONE of the FOUR learning events.ExplanationFor each learning event ensure that the following steps are incorporated: DESCRIPTION: This description should be a maximum of 150 words. This does not suggest you give a blow by blow account of the event but is more about demonstrating your understanding of what aspects of the event at the time (or upon reflecting on it) was significant for your learning. It is also assessing your ability to summarise an event succinctly and clearly. INSIGHT/ANALYSIS: How does this event relate to a theory/concept related to leadership? Link theory to your event by moving beyond describing or illustrating a concept or theory in the textbooks and academic journals. Demonstrate deeper analysis and internal dialogue about this concept or theory by relating it to other literature, experiences, or contexts. INSIGHT/MEANING: What did you learn as a result of this analysis and reflection? Has your understanding of what occurred during the event changed as a result of reflecting on it, and applying theoretical concepts to it? Has your understanding of theories and concepts of leadership changed as a result of the reflection? IMPLICATIONS/APPLICATION: How has your analysis and reflection created new attitudes and behaviours in you? How has the reflection on action and theory had an impact on your practice of leadership? How did you apply your learning and what were the implications and outcomes of this learning and consequent action?

CATEGORY A (ANSWER ONE QUESTION FROM THIS CATEGORY)Descartes doubts and demons
In the first meditation, Descartes states that [Its possible that] some malicious demon of the utmost power and cunning has employed all his energies in order to deceive me. I shall think that the sky, the air, the earth, colours, shapes and sounds of all external things are merely the delusions of dreams which he had devised to ensnare my judgement (Descartes, Med. I).Why does he think that the mere possibility of the existence of the demon is a reason to think that think that there are no external objects? (Hint: a complete answer will mention Descartes project and the method of doubt)
In order to overcome his skepticism, Descartes sets out to proveThe C&D Rule: anything that I clearly and distinctly perceive to be true is guaranteed to be true. Give a full explanation of his argument in favor of The C&D Rule.Remember that a full explanation is an explanation that introduces the premises that are meant to support the conclusion, identifies the conclusion, explains the justification for each premise, and makes the reason(s) for thinking that the premises support the conclusion explicit. You do not have to give the formulation of the argument that I gave in class, but you are more than welcome to.
Gettier argues against a specific theory of knowledge that is sometimes called the JTB analysis of knowledge. Whats the JTB analysis of knowledge?
Describe a scenario of your own that shows the JTB analysis of knowledge to be false. (Remember that Gettier gives us two examples, you might start by trying to understand what makes his cases work.)
Explain why the case you described above is a counterexample to the JTB analysis of knowledge.Particularism, Methodism, and Skepticism
What is the problem of the criterion?
Describe the methodist, particularist, and skeptical approaches to the problem of the criterion. Explain all of the ways in which each position begs the question against the other positions.
Do you think that there is a fourth approach (i.e., a non-methodist, non-particularist, non-skeptical) that Chisholm overlooks? If so, answer i. If not, answer ii.
Describe this fourth option and defend the claim that it is, in fact, a non-methodist, non-particularist, non-skeptical position. Do you think that this fourth position is better than the alternatives? Why?
Of the three approaches, which do you think fares best? Defend your position. CATEGORY B (ANSWER ONE QUESTION FROM THIS CATEGORY)Compulsive Behavior, Locked Rooms, and Classical Compatibilism
What is classical compatibilism?
We discussed two problems that classical compatibilism faces: it seems to mistakenly describe certain compulsive behaviors as free actions and seems to mistakenly describe the man in Lockes locked room as unfree. Do the following:
Carefully describe a case that the classical compatibilist seems to mistakenly describe (and feel free to use one of my examples from class).
Apply classical compatibilism to this case. That is, tell me whether the classical compatibilist would consider the person in this case free, and explain why the classical compatibilist is committed to this judgement of the case.
Give a full explanation of an argument that uses this case to argue against classical compatibilism.
Introduce and explain Frankfurts compatibilism. What does Frankfurts theory say about the case you described? That is, does his account consider the person in your case free? Do you think that Frankfurts theory is true? Defend your answer.Indeterminism, Quantum Mechanics, and the Problem of the Disappearing Agent
Michio Kaku seems to think that(I) the truth of indeterminism is sufficient for our having free will.Chisholm, van Inwagen, and Pereboom each explain why they think that (I) is false. What do you think the best case against (I) is? In other words: describe what you see as the best objection against (I). Do you think that this objection shows that (I) is false? Briefly explain why.Chisholm outlines a view whereby indeterminism is true and we have free will. What is his theory? Why would Chisholm think that his theory is immune to the objection to (I) that you outlined in a.?
What do you think is the strongest objection against Chisholms view? Do you think that this objection shows that Chisholms view is false? Why or why not?Hard Incompatibilism, Criminal Punishment, and Life without Free Will
In Why We Have No Free Will and Can Live Without It, Pereboom presents his four-case argument against compatibilism. Give a full explanation of the argument. You do not need to introduce or describe the four cases. Remember: Case 1 – Plum is under radio control
Case 2 – Plum programmed at birth
Case 3 – Plum is trained at a young age
Case 4 – Plums genes and environment make him egoisticWhat does Pereboom think we should accept in place of compatibilism? Why does Pereboom discuss the possibility of criminal punishment in a world without free will? Answer one of the following:
What is retributivism, and why is it incompatible with hard incompatibilism?
What is deterrence theory, and why doesnt Pereboom use deterrence theory to justify criminal punishment?
What does Pereboom think could justify criminal punishment if hard incompatibilism is true? Do you think that this theory works? Defend your answer.Morality, Luck, and Control
Consider the following intuitive principles:(control) You are morally responsible only for whats under your control.
(corollary) Two people cant differ in their level of moral responsibility only because of factors outside of their control.Describe a case involving resultant luck that seems to show that these principles are false. Make sure to explain why the case shows that these principles are false.Hint: the cases we described in class seem to show that corollary is false, and if control is true, then corollary is true. Suppose someone said since the results of our actions are sometimes outside of our control, we should only make moral judgements on the basis of ones intentionsones intentions are not influenced by luck. Describe a case that seems to show that this claim is false, making sure to explain why the case shows that this claim is false. In doing this introduce and explain either circumstantial or constitutional luck.
Imagine that two people perform identical actions: Case 1: Jones runs a red light but crosses the intersection without incident.
Case 2: Smith runs a red light in exactly the same way/sort of circumstances/etc. as Jones, but Smith accidentally hits and kills a pedestrian in the process.Do you think that Smith and Jones should receive the same punishment? Defend your answer.

(The Norton Reader)You will be performing a critical rhetorical analysis over the readings argument and how it was made. The purpose of this essay is to critique the authors strategies in making and proving their claim, as well as judging whether or not it was successful in its argument. YOU ARE NOT WRITING ABOUT THE READINGS ISSUE OR IF YOU AGREE WITH THE AUTHOR OR NOT. NOR ARE YOU GIVING ME JUST A SUMMARY. Using the strategies discussed in class and your readings, you will analyze the chosen reading and write a 4-5 page (1200 1500 word) paper describing how the author employs the rhetorical techniques discussed in the course, contextual or situational factors that are relevant to the work and whether or not the author successfully accomplished his or her agenda based upon the elements of the rhetorical situation and use of rhetorical appeals. For example, you might look at the following, among others: Author: (Who is the author?) Purpose: (What is the author trying to accomplish? Why did the author feel the need to write the text?) Audience/Relationship to the Reader: (To whom is the text addressed?)
Context: (What are influencing factors surrounding the event of the text? Where/When was the text written?) Voice: (What is the overall tone of the text?) Genre: (What type of writing is the text?) Strategies: (How did the author write the text? Does the author follow prescribed methodologies? Does the author deviate from the norm?) Effectiveness? (Is the author rhetorically effective? Does the text move you? Your rhetorical analysis should demonstrate how the author utilizes one or more of the three elements of the rhetorical appeals: Ethos: Appeals to the character and expertise of the writer or speaker Logos: Appeals based on logic, reasoning, and evidence concerning the subject Pathos: Appeals to the beliefs and values of the audienceYou do not have to talk about ALL of these ideas, but these are merely examples to help spur your writing. This essay requires at least one outside source to help give historical context to the piece, or background on the author/issue to give exigence, but no more than three sources. The majority of the essay should focus on a close examination of your chosen reading. These outside sources, along with your primary source/chosen essay must be quoted and cited in MLA format and be included in your MLA Works Cited at the end.
