Minimum is a 10 page documented paper. You may use Rolston but must use at least 5 primary sources such as the ethical theorists. [Check the theory articles for original sources.] News commentators are not viable sources so keep that in mind; also, every author has a story to tell, if you will, a point of view but heed how an argument is formulated. Rolston, in his book and in this case was not trying to make a “deductive” argument so even philosophers can and do write based on reasoning that is not pure deductive reasoning and to be honest, there are few such arguments especially extended. Chose something that grabs you or that has implications for where you live locally. Try not to argue in global, national or even state perspectives. Think globally if you will, but this is more acting locally. This is not a mandate buT just some advice. Papers should be double spaced, 12 font, new times Roman — not larger or smaller than 12 font so be sure to do that. Make sure each page is numbered in the same location, including the bibliography. The bibliography is a separate page or pages at the end of your paper and is not part of the minimum 10 page requirement. Please do not use a cover page. Your name in the upper left hand corner, skip one double space, title your paper in the center, skip one double space and begin. This does matter.
