PSU Is It Right to Obey the Law

December 17, 2022

Description
prompt: In front of an unjust verdict, like in the case of Socrates (see the Apology, week 1), is it right to obey the law and accept it, even if it means facing death? If yes, why, and if not, why?

Please write a paper 1600 to 2000 words long.

Address the prompt completely. Usually, the prompt includes more than one question: your thesis should include all aspects.
Use short sentences and a straightforward style. Do not try to impress with complicated phrases or terms you are unable to explain.
Do not take it for granted that your reader already knows the topics that you are dealing with. Although it is your instructor and TAs that will evaluate the paper, you are expected to define explicitly the main concepts that you are using.
Make sure your paper shows that you studied and understood the materials.
State your thesis at the very beginning of your paper.
Make your argumentative steps explicit: announce them in the first paragraph, and then follow them thoroughly.
Use your own words and possibly your own examples. This demonstrates autonomy and capacity of reflection. Examples help the reader understand better what you have in mind.
It is a good idea to identify a possible objection to your argument and respond to it.
Connect the conclusion of the paper to the thesis that you stated at the beginning.
Plagiarism (passing off as your own the ideas or words of someone else) is not allowed in any form. Always credit your sources. Be aware that papers are automatically checked for plagiarism.
