It’s a Philosophy course that talking about the business ethic.

Is affirmative action morally justifiable?
You will be evaluated on clarity of exposition, on your ability to argue in support of a position, and on your ability to argue against rival positions. And remember: the point is not to discuss all of the arguments made by the authors you are examining. Rather you should critically engage the essays from the class syllabus with a view to making the case for a thesis.

The paper should be double spaced, 7 pages long, and it is due on December 1.

Here are some questions you should keep in mind in writing your paper:

Does your paper have a clearly articulated thesis?
Is the thesis supported by arguments?
Are these arguments logically structured?
Do you make use of the primary texts in defending your thesis?
Have you anticipated potential criticisms of your position and demonstrated why your position is superior to rival interpretations?
Is your writing clear and to the point?
Is your writing technically flawless, free of spelling mistakes and grammatical errors?
Do you have proper documentation in a consistent style?
