Defend Hard Determinism against a form of Libertarianism or Compatibilism.

 
In this paper you will argue for a thesis in the Free Will debate and defend it against a strong objection.

We have framed the main positions as responses to the seeming incompatibility between free will and determinism.

You can argue for:

· Hard Determinism

· Libertarianism

· Incompatibilism

· Compatibilism

· Other

If you want to frame the problem differently, especially after we read Wolf’s essays, and take a different position, this is fine but you need to run it by me

For example:

· Defend Ayer’s form of Compatibilism against the objection that his definition of free will cannot account for a case where we hold someone morally responsible but they are not free on his definition. Do this by modifying his definition of free will.

· Defend Strawson’s Incompatibilism against Compatibilism. Do this by critiquing Ayer’s account of free will and “I could have done otherwise”.

· Defend Hard Determinism against a form of Libertarianism or Compatibilism.

· Feel free to put the papers in dialogue with each other.

· Also feel free to make up either your own position or own objection.

The paper needs to have the following pieces:

Introduction

Briefly state the problem

For example, we want both free will and determinism, but they seem to conflict

State your thesis

Determinism is true and we do not ever have free will.

Statement of the Problem of Free Will

Explain the problem

Explain key terms, how they fit together

By ‘determinism’, ‘free will’, etc. I mean …. They are in conflict because …

Explanation of your position on the problem

Explain why your position is attractive and reasonable

Hard Determinism is the best because the world is just atoms and the void.

We know this because science tells us science is the best guide to knowledge.

Strong challenge to your position

Explain why a reasonable person might disagree with your position.

But, it really seems like we have free will. And this is a problem for my view because …

Defense of your position against the challenge

Explain how you can meet the challenge raised

Do not be dogmatic here.

This will not be a conclusive refutation of the objection, but it should be strong.

Seeming to have free will does not imply having free will. We know that incompatibilism is true because Y. So we need to ask whether science or phenomenology should be believed when they are in conflict. Science wins because Z.

Conclusion

Restate your thesis and summarize.

Even though we seem to have free will, it is just an illusion because of X.

Thoughts to keep in mind:

· We want to see you engaging with the debate.

· Write for a friend who is not in the class.

· This paper builds upon the skills you exercised in the first and second paper, exposition of a problem and analysis of an argument for a position.

· You are just dealing with one small piece of this issue.

· What objection you raise determines which piece you are dealing with.

· We value strong objections with weaker responses more than weak objections with strong responses to them.

· A good place to find objections is the papers we read.

· You are not giving the last word in anything here.

Analysis of Race, Class, and Deviance Assignment

 
In this paper you will have to analyze this situation using all three major sociological perspectives learned. I need to see three paragraphs first paragraph conflict theory and its terms. Second paragraph about Functionalism theory and its terms. Third paragraph about Symbolic Interactionism theory and its terms. Please proceed to this website https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gln1JwDUI64 and watch the lecture by Dr.Michelle Alexander on how the prison-industrial complex has become a new and covert form of“Jim Crow” for many African American males. No summary needed for the speech. What I would like from the student is a paper that includes how a Functionalist, a Conflict Theorist, and a Symbolic Interactionist would interpret the information within this speech.

Terms and concepts must included for the three theory:

Conflict theory:
Bourgeoisie: the capitalist class who own most of society’s wealth and means of production.
Proletariats: workers or working-class people, regarded collectively.
class consciousness: awareness of your class position, and identifying with people who are in the same class position à organize political associations à rebel, revolution à classless society
False consciousness: workers mistakenly accept what the dominating class wants them to believe

Functionalism theory:
Manifest function: intended
Latent function: unintended
Anomie: Breaking down of the norms and values of society
Egoism: is the tendency of individuals to focus only on themselves in isolation from other people and social systems (such as groups, communities, and societies).
Strain Theory: people not achieving cultural goals legitimately feel anomie & become deviant

Symbolic interactionism theory:

Looking-glass self: the process by which a sense of self develops
Labeling theory: is based on the idea that behaviors are deviant only when society labels them as devian
Role-taking: taking the role of the “other”, to understand how someone else thinks and feels
Impression management: efforts to control other people’s impressions of us

COURSE PROJECT

 
Overview and Guidelines
From Understanding and Managing Diversity by Harvey and Allard.

An important part of our course is researching information on diversity and multiculturalism and its social, cultural, and ethical impact upon individual citizens, groups of people, and society at large. In the twenty-first century, Web sites are an important channel of communication between organizations and their external stakeholders. If an organization is serious about its commitment to diversity, one would expect that this would be reflected in the design, content, and graphics of the Web site. Potential employees, customers, suppliers, etc., often turn first to a Web site before initiating interaction with an organization. If diversity is really integral to the mission and values of an organization, information on diversity should be easily accessible, informative, and well integrated into the Web site.

You will select a specific company in an industry such as healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing government, education, sports, etc. Then, prepare a report on the following:
1.Evaluate how accessible diversity-related material is on this Web site. Is there a direct link from the home page? What type of results does entering the term “diversity” in a search box yield? Or, do you have to explore on your own? Sometimes searching under “careers” or “press releases” may produce some diversity-related results. On some Web sites, you will have to explore deeply into Web pages to find material related to diversity. What does this say about the organization’s commitment to diversity?
2.Evaluate the usefulness of the diversity information to potential employees, customers, and suppliers. Is the diversity material related to the organization’s business case for diversity, core values, mission, etc. the way that the organization does business? How current is the diversity-related material?
3.Evaluate the appropriateness of the photographs and graphic material that relates to diversity. Some Web sites will feature photographs of diverse employees and customers, yet not link this material to the verbal content. Some reuse the same pictures on different pages, etc.
4.Assume that you are a) a potential employee, b) a potential customer and c) a potential supplier or subcontractor. What perceptions might you have about this organization’s commitment to diversity based solely on the Web site? Looking at this Web site, do you think that it encourages or discourages diverse employees to apply for jobs in this organization? Why or why not?
5.What internal management issues can affect the prominence that diversity gets or doesn’t get on an organization’s Web site?
6.Are there any diversity awards listed on the Web site? If so, review the criteria and selection process as presented in the Allard article on awards (from the textbook) or if the award is not mentioned in that article. Evaluate the value of the award through the sponsoring organization’s Web site.
7.If you were a (female, over 55, racial minority, person with a physical challenge, gay or lesbian, etc.) job applicant and you have read an ad for job opening for which you are fully qualified. Based on your audit of the company web site what perceptions might you have of this company before you even walk in the door? Would you still apply for the job? Why or why not?
