Take a position on the issue and state that position in the essay introduction
Support your position using arguments that are thoughtful and well-grounded
Use at least one of the authors (Pojman or Nathanson or Rachels) covered in this course
Present and then respond to a counterargument to your position
Include parenthetical citations or footnotes and a bibliography
Bibliography and Outside Sources
