Title of Essay: Who is to judge what is Right and what is Wrong?
Consider the following in your essay: As there are different ways of thinking and judging in our society so who should judge- the individual, the group, the society? 2-3 pages. Justify (back up) and support your opinions and conclusions.
More instructions: Reason out and support your opinions and conclusions while considering all three groups - the individual, the group and the society. This essay is NOT about whether we should judge or not or judge at all. We already judge as is.
Introductory Paragraph:
- Introduce the presentation of the topic; Book or Article Title, Author, and the year it was published.
- Very brief summary of the topic.
- Thesis statement: Describe the specific issue that you are responding or reacting to; agree, disagree, connect with, evaluate etc.
Organizing Ideas, Opinions, and Viewpoints:
- Thesis statement forms the basis of the essay.
- Decide on a few key ideas that express your thesis statement.
- Describe at least three of these key ideas.
- Develop your ideas in each paragraph by using examples, giving details, and using material from the presentation.
- While the use of the first person "I" is generally not appropriate for academic essays, it is appropriate for a response/reaction essay since it is your personal response.
Body of the Essay:
Discuss the topic and your response/reaction to it referring to the presentation. If disputing the facts or the conclusions, give solid reasons to support your interpretation.
While this is not a research essay, you can certainly refer to class lectures, other readings or books. Always be accurate with the titles and authors. If you use any quotes from the text book, you may use parenthetical citation. If you quote from another book, then a footnote is necessary.
Concluding Paragraph: Reiteration of your thesis statement and restatement of your response/reaction.
