As you make your argument, you will need to demonstrate your careful attention to “ethics and the examined life” and “theories of morality,” in particular. You will need to include applicable quotes and/or references to material we have encountered both in our readings and continuing discussions. You can use your book as a source, IF YOU NEED ME TO SEND OVER ANY PAGES FROM THE BOOK PLEASE LET ME KNOW but you are not expected to include any other secondary sources.
Make sure to have adequate details to support the thesis and Accurate and complete reflection and analysis of material read as the professor emphasizes this
