Essay Structure
Instead of an introduction, you should have one sentence which states your thesis statement. Your thesis statement should be generated by task four and use the following format: I will argue that [Singer] has a better solution to the case of Canadia because [insert your reason here.] So you need neither a typical introduction nor conclusion. The grading rubrics are attached to each the submission page of each essay so you can see the specific breakdown of points.
Explain the case at hand back in your own words.
This should be no more than one paragraph. It’s just a quick summary so I know how you’re understanding the case.
Explain the theories of the two philosophers that are assigned in that particular week.
This should be where you show that you understand the arguments of the philosophers that are covered in a particular topic. So if you’re writing about the Global Justice Essay, you’d explain the arguments of Singer and Hardin.
This should be completely neutral — just a succinct presentation of the arguments that isn’t influenced by or that mentions the case.
This should be at least two paragraphs, and probably more like four.
Present an argument applying the philosophers’s arguments to the case at hand.
Here you should take the work you did in task two and apply that to the story. So if you were writing on Global Justice, you might say that Singer theory would require that we all give the aide to Canadia because of reason Y and then justify that. You’d then do the same with Hardin (although with an obviously different action.)
This should be at least two paragraphs, and could easily be four.
Present an argument explaining why one philosopher has a better solution to the case at hand.
Due to this you need to explain what you think a successful solution to the case would demonstrate and then show how one of the philosophers does this better than the other.
This should be two paragraphs.
Explain what you would do and why.
This should be exactly one paragraph.

<<<Global Justice Essay QUESTION>>>>>>>>
In this essay you have four tasks:
1) Explain the scenario as you see it.
2) Explain the relevant parts of Singer and Hardin’s arguments.
3) Give an argument of your own applying Singer and Hardin to the case of Canadia.
4) Give an argument for why one philosopher’s approach to dealing with Canadia is more successful than the other and why.
5) Give your own argument about what we should do with Canadia (NOTE: This should be NO MORE than one paragraph.)
There is a country, called Canadia, that is becoming a global problem. Thousands of Canadians are dying every day from starvation, disease, and exposure. The Canadian population doubles about every 33 years, whereas the American population doubles about every 90 years. To try an increase in their GDP, the Canadian government mines oil from tar sands. This is an incredibly environmentally destructive process that injects pollutants into the air, pollutes aquifers, and kills plants and wildlife. There is also a rampant AIDS epidemic in Canadia because of lack of available condoms.
