Please use the following headings in your paper, which are given in bold and un-derlined below. You must have these headings below typed into your paper. Fol-low the instructions below. They explain what goes into each section of the pa-per.
Name: (Put your name on your paper.)
Word count: (Please give the word count for your paper.)
Title: (Please give a title for the paper.)
1. Introduction and Thesis
(In this section, please give an introduction to the topic, and you must also give a thesis statement for your paper. Your thesis statement must state your position on the issue you have selected. You must state your thesis with the phrase: This paper argues that _______ .  For example, This paper argues thattorture is never morally acceptable. Or This paper argues that capital punishment is morally permissible and should re-main legal. In this section, you can include a brief summary of the main reasons for your thesis.)
2. Argument and Explanation
(In this section, argue for your thesis. Using one paragraph for each reason, give rea-sons for your thesis. Use at least 4 reasons or more for your thesis. Explain as com-pletely as you can your reasons for your view. To help develop reasons, consider the different ethical theories, and use them to create reasons to defend your thesis.)  
3. Objections and Replies  
2 / 2
(In this section, you must consider at least 4 objections to your views, and you must reply to each of them. An objection is a reason that goes against your view or what someone might say against your thesis.)
Objection 1:
(Explain one objection to your view here. For instance, suppose you argued against capital punishment. Someone might object that we should have capital punishment be-cause it deters crime. Using this objection, you would explain here the view that capital punishment deters crime.)  
Reply 1:
(Here you must reply to objection 1. Respond to objection 1, and explain what is wrong with it. Defend yourself against objection 1. Using the example of capital punishment, you could attempt to reply that capital punishment does not deter crime. You would have to explain why capital punishment does not deter crime. You could find information to back up this reply.)
Objection 2:
(Here you must give another objection to your thesis. You must have at least 4 objec-tions and 4 replies.)  
Reply 2:

5. Endnotes
(You need an endnote section if you have used other people’s ideas or facts from some-where else, like from the Internet. Please use endnote numbers in your paper and list the citations in this Endnote section. You can use any available format for citations that you think works. Remember, if you use other people’s ideas and information, you have to cite it.)
