Answer the following question
Should children have the same legal rights as adults? If not, what justifies the differences between the rights of children and those of adults?
REQUIREMENTS
● 2000 words (10% either way).
● Focus on the required philosophical reading materials. No need for further philosophical materials. (Which I will upload, its 2 readings from both philosophers john harries and Feinberg)
● Use the contemporary example provided, and introduce others. (From the PowerPoint that I will upload) these website is very helpful for examples http://www.freerangekids.com and this is a school for no rules for children please include it in an example http://www.summerhillschool.co.uk/QAs-2009.pdf
● Demonstrate an understanding of the philosophical position being discussed.
● Evaluative rather than merely descriptive.
● Evaluation to include your own view.
COMMON PROBLEMS
● Deference
● Reluctance to present own argument
● Not addressing the question directly
● Overly ‘wise’ prose (anything which contains the phrase ‘the dawn of time’, for example)
SUGGESTED STRUCTURE
● Introduction including thesis statement and ‘signposting’.
● The Case For (or Side 1).
● The Case Against (or Side 2).
● Evaluation. What are the strengths and shortcomings of each side? To what extent do you agree with each? Could certain ideas be adapted or improved?
● Conclusion, which refers to the thesis statement and builds upon it.
