English 302 Essay #1 Assignment: Argument Synthesis(200 points total for all associated required writing assignments)Assignment:See Part One Chapter 11, for a variety of sources on the ways “thought experiments” in ethics—scenarios that ask you to decide on courses of right action (and to justify your decisions) — can serve as a guide for facing everyday ethical dilemmas. When there is no clear right and wrong choice, how do you decide? To what principles can you turn for guidance? Your task in the synthesis will be to wrestle with ethical dilemmas and to argue for a clear course of action based on principles you make plain to your readers. In other words, read the essays in Chapter 11 that discuss different ethical dilemmas and different courses of action – different principles to turn to – that will help you or anyone make a decision in an ethical dilemma and then justify your choices and argue for a clear course of action that will work for any ethical dilemma, like the ones presented in the essays in chapter 11. Remember that this is an argument.You must use at least two of the sources in Part One Chapter 11. You can use only one additional source; make sure that it is credible source (no Wikipedia!). All sources must be documented both in-text and on your Works Cited page. Only MLA format is allowed. Refer to Part 6 Chapter 23 and to the MLA PowerPoint posted in the Week 6 folder. Required length 2500-3000 words (5-6 pages, not including your Works Cited page).There are a number of related assignments that you may want to compete in Part One Chapter 11, which ask you to write summaries, explanations, and critiques, that can help you prepare for writing a larger argument.See Part One Chapter 7 for more information on how to write an Argument Synthesis and a model Argument Synthesis essay.

The rest of the body paragraph should explain why that principle/guideline/criterion works effectively and is useful in such a situation and be developed with examples or citations to the principles/guidelines/criteria that are in the readings from Chapter 11 of our text. (Remember, you need to cite to two of them.)At least one body paragraph needs to be a paragraph of counterargument. One way to do the counterargument is to find a principle from one of the articles in Chapter 11 of our text that you disagree with, use that as an opposing view, and then refute it. But other opposing views (best way(s) to approach making a decision in an ethical dilemma) also exist.Conclude with a final thought.IMPORTANT: Refer to the specific assignment rubrics for the grading criteria and due dates.
