Paper 1 for Ethics

For your first paper, I want you to write between 1000 and 1500 words on any one of Singer's major topics or anything we have discussed in class.  Choose the one that interests/infuriates you the most.  Describe the issue, discuss it and give me your reactions to it.  I want you to engage Singer in debate, disagreeing with him where you do, and defending your views both against me and Singer.  The paper is due Monday, February 17, 2002.

 All papers must be submitted to philosophy@montevallo.edu as Microsoft Word attachments.  The paper should include your name and email address in its header, and should be titled <yourlastname><papernumber>.doc.  The subject of the email should be Modern Philosophy Paper #x.   Be sure not to save your paper as a Microsoft Works file if you are using that program.  You have the option of saving the file as a Word file, and this is what you should do.  It is the responsibility of each student to keep a copy of each paper turned in to me. 

Remember that the final grade you will get on this paper is only 25% dependent on the grade you get on this draft. Thus, if you get a D on this paper, you can still get an A- if you get an A on the rewrite. Don't get so obsessed by the grade that you don't do well. And remember, if you have any questions, you can call me or come by the office.
