Proper MLA format and citationso Include page numberso Works CitedPapers should be well-written, free of typographical and grammatical errors, and organized in polished essay form. Any material used directly or paraphrased must be appropriately cited in the text and include an entry on the Works Cited page. CitationsWhen using material from our text, you must have a Works Cited entry for each author. (Do not use the editor of the book (Marino) instead of the author.) List the title and editor of the text in a separate entry. For instance:Kant, Immanuel. Fundamental Principles of Morals. Marino 188-224.Marino, Gordon. Ethics: The Essential Writings. NY: Modern Library, 2010.Mill, John Stuart. Utilitarianism. Marino 228-55.For supplemental sources: find the correct format in any citation reference book or at https://style.mla.org/.Quotations and ParaphrasingIn the paper you should use few if any direct quotations – the point is for you to explain the material (Kant and Mill already know it …). When you do quote, you will of course use proper citation format.
On the other hand, paraphrasing (or indirect quotation) will be necessary, especially as you explain the theories. For the rules on paraphrasing, see the Style Center (https://style.mla.org/), the Writing Center, or me. Paraphrased material must be cited – failing to do so counts as plagiarism.AssistanceYou are strongly encouraged to come see me about how to go about writing the paper (as well as its content). The Writing Center (https://www.stedwards.edu/writing-center ) is excellent and has many resources in addition to one-on-one meetings.Instructions:In this paper you will both describe and apply the theories of Kant and Mill. Begin by explaining the central tenets of each theory clearly and in detail. To do so, think about questions like: How should we decide what the right thing to do is? What is the locus of moral value? How are other people involved, if at all, in our morally correct decisions? What role should intentions and/or consequences play in right behavior?Note that these are general questions to help you structure your account of the theory – do not simply write the answers for each philosopher. Instead, you should think carefully about what the answers tell you about the theory as a whole and proceed with your account of it. After describing each theory in detail, choose one of the issues below and explain (again in detail) how a utilitarian and a Kantian respectively would view it. More specifically, you should explicitly discuss how a consequentialist or deontologist would approach the question and decide it.Finally, discuss your view on the issue, stating precisely what you think ought to be done and how it can be justified by either utilitarianism or Kantianism. Self-censoring and regulation by Google, Twitter, and FB as a result of alleged Russian interference with elections;Abortion – whether it should be permissible to criminalize abortion (by overturning Roe v. Wade);Campus carry – whether it should remain legal to carry a concealed weapon on public university campuses;Physician Assisted Suicide (PAS) – whether the opportunity to end one’s life with the help of a physician should be legally available;
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) – whether people who were illegally brought to the US as children should have a different status and set of opportunities than those who came into the country illegally of their own volition,You are welcome to choose another issue as well, but are strongly advised to run it past me to ensure that it will work for this assignment.
