Writing assignment: Essay #2.

"Huxley's Lenina is the logical consequence of Singer's utilitarianism."

Take a firm stand on this quotation. Do you agree with it? Or do you disagree with it? You must choose one side. No waffling.

Your essay should be no more than 4 typed, double-spaced pages of careful reasoning. It should also have a carefully chosen title. Make sure your reader knows where you stand and can follow your argument throughout the paper. Indeed, make sure you know where you stand! Use evidence to support your points. Clarify your terms. At the same time, be concise and to the point.

At this point, it should be no problem at all for you to keep counterarguments in mind. Make sure you know exactly what they are.

In weighing your options, it is crucial that you understand Singer's arguments in the chapter from Practical Ethics. Whether you agree or disagree with the quotation, make sure that you know exactly how this man below would defend himself against such a claim.

As always, I will not expect your paper to be perfect. I will simply be pleased if you write the best paper you have ever written in your life. Thus, you should begin your paper as soon as possible.
