Is affirmative action morally justifiable?
You will be evaluated on clarity of exposition, on your ability to argue in support of a position, and on your ability to argue against rival positions. And remember: the point is not to discuss all of the arguments made by the authors you are examining. Rather you should critically engage the essays from the class syllabus with a view to making the case for a thesis.

The paper should be double spaced, 7 pages long, and it is due on December 1.

Here are some questions you should keep in mind in writing your paper:
