Writing Assignment 2 Prompt: The concept of social justice has become a central feature in many academic disciplines in recent years. Political philosophy, social science, psychology, education and many other fields have made social justice an imperative. A quick web search for the definition of social justice nets results such as Social justice is a concept of fair and just relations between the individual and society, Social justice is the equal access to wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society and Social justice is the fair and proper administration of laws conforming to the natural law that all persons, irrespective of ethnic origin, gender, possessions, race, religion, etc., are to be treated equally and without prejudice. Music of all kinds has long been a source of discourse relating to concepts of social justice. Take the following list by way of example: Acceptance of All People: Every Kinda People Robert Palmer Homophobia: The Killing of Georgie Rod Stewart Political Activism: Power to the People John Lennon Poverty: In the Ghetto Elvis Presley Racism: Ebony and Ivory Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder Sexism: 9 to 5 Dolly Parton War and Peace: Disposable Heroes Metallica Workers Rights/Plights: Working for a Living Huey Lewis & The News For your papers Id like you to find a song from 2010 or later (e.g. 2011, 2012, etc.) that deals with some facet of social justice (you may choose one of the facets from above or some other relevant aspect). The song may be of any musical style or genre and from any geographical region or culture (if the lyrics are in a language other than English, please provide a translation). In the opening of your paper, provide some general information about the song and then deal critically with each of the following questions: Do you interpret the lyrics of your chosen song to be connected to a specific modern struggle or could they be considered timeless? How does knowing about the context in which the song was written influence your thoughts about the songs meaning? In thinking about the lyrics of your chosen song, how would our society function differently if goals/aspirations set forth in the lyrics were realized? Go into some detail. Is the song simply a plea to imagine a better world or is it a call to action? What steps or actions can we take in order to work toward the goals/ideals put forth in the song? Be specific. You may not choose a song that you used in a previous paper, although a different song by the same artist is fine. If the songs official video is relevant you may refer to it in your discussion. Be sure not to count quotations of any kind toward your total word count. As far as citations go, if you feel you need a works cited page or bibliography, you probably do. Use whatever style manual youre most comfortable with (and do not count the bibliography toward your word count either).

Part 1: IntroductionIn this section of the paper, you will begin with your ethical question, introduce the topic and paper, and close with a thesis statement.The ethical question may be the same as your Week 3 written assignment (“Applying an Ethical Theory”) or a revised version of it.The introduction should be revised in a way that reflects your additional thinking on the issue and question.End this section with a thesis statement that states your position on the issue (the answer to the ethical question you believe is strongest) and provides a brief summary of the main ideas you will be presenting in the paper. Please see the assignment guidance for examples of thesis statements.Place the introduction under the Part 1: Introduction heading.Part 2: Ethical ArgumentIn this section of the paper, you will present the strongest argument you can in support of the position you have stated in your introduction.This will be similar to the “supporting reasons” you offered in the first assignment; however, this argument should reflect your research into the key ethical issues that need to be identified and addressed, the arguments on different sides of this problem, and the theories of moral reasoning we have studied in the class (you will discuss the specific details and implications of the moral theories in the next two sections).You can think of this as a summary of the main argument you would give if you were an attorney trying to convince a jury of your position.Place this information under the Part 2: Ethical Argument heading.Part 3: Explanation and DefenseIn this section, you will explain and defend your argument by drawing on the moral theory that aligns most closely with the argument you presented in Part 2. This may be the same theory you discussed in your second assignment, but it may also be a different theory.You must first explain the theory in general terms similar to how you explained a theory in your second assignment, including a brief account of the historical background of the theory and the philosopher(s) associated with it and general overview of the core moral ideal or principle of the theory, including the way it guides and constrains moral reasoning.You should then clearly show how your argument represents an application of that form of moral reasoning.In other words, if the argument you present in Part 2 is utilitarian, deontological, or virtue-based (teleological), you will want to explain utilitarianism, deontology, or virtue ethics in general terms, then explain how your argument from Part 2 reflects or draws upon the core principles and values of that theory. Please refer to the Week 3 assignment instructions for directions on how to explain and apply the moral theory.Place this section under the Part 3: Explanation and Defense heading.Part 4: Objection and ResponseIn this section of the paper, you will present the strongest objection you can to your argument, and briefly defend that objection by appealing to a different ethical theory than the one you focused on in Part 3.Briefly explain the core moral ideal or principle of the theory and how that could be the basis of an objection to your argument. For instance, if you explained and defended your own argument by applying the principles of virtue ethics, you could raise an objection from the perspective of utilitarianism by briefly explaining the core utilitarian principle and how applying that principle could lead someone to a different conclusion than the one you are defending.Next, you should respond to the objection by explaining why it is not strong enough to undermine the main argument in defense of your position.See the assignment guidance for suggestions on how to effectively respond to the objection.Place this section under the Part 4: Objection and Response heading.Part 5: ConclusionIn this section of the paper, provide a summary of what you have done in the paper by briefly describing what you accomplished in each of the above sections.Place this section under the Part 5: Conclusion heading.
