This document discusses the counter argument, which is bringing up arguments against your own position in a paper. It explains that counter arguments allow you to address opposing views and appear more reliable to readers. The document provides examples of how to briefly mention a counter point and then dismiss it to further support your own argument. It recommends including a separate paragraph on the counter argument after the two body paragraphs supporting your position.

How to Write a Philosophy Paper
Shelly Kagan
Department of Philosophy
1. Every paper you write for me will be based on the same basic assignment: state a thesis
and defend it. That is, you must stake out a position that you take to be correct, and then you must
offer arguments for that view, consider objections, and reply to those objections. Put another way:
you must give reasons to believe the central thesis of the paper.
Some of you may have never written a paper like this before. So let me contrast it with two
other kinds of papers you probably have written. First, I am not looking for "book reports": I
don't want summaries of one or more of the readings, and I don't want you to "compare and
contrast" what different authors say, or what different moral theories might say, about the given
topic. Rather, I want you to "stick your neck out"--tell me what you believe to be the truth about
the relevant issue. And then I want you to defend that position. Of course, it might well be
relevant, or helpful (or perhaps even part of the specific assignment) to discuss some particular
author or view. But even here the emphasis should be on evaluating that author or view. Book
reports, no matter how superb, simply don't meet the assignment.
Second, I am not looking for "thoughts on topic X", or "meditations on X", or "remarks on
X". It just won't do to simply string together various reflections you may have on the given topic,
even if in the course of doing this you embrace various claims, and offer some reasons for your
views, before moving on to the next reflection. The paper should instead have a single, central
thesis. The point of the paper is to state and defend that thesis. The various contents of the paper
should be selected and organized so as best to defend that central claim. (Stream of consciousness,
for example, is a poor way to organize material, and is likely to include much that is irrelevant to
anything like a main thesis.) No matter how brilliant, mere reflections simply don't meet the
assignment.
2. So the paper should state a central thesis, and defend it. More specifically, it should do the
following things:
A) It should start with a clear statement of the thesis. This need not be the very first
sentence, but it should almost always come in the first paragraph or two. Many papers never give
a clear, official, precise statement of the thesis at all. They leave the reader guessing what the
author's precise position is. Don't do this. It may seem obvious to you what your position is; it
won't be obvious to me.
Other papers do give a clear statement of the thesis--but not until the last paragraph of the
paper. ("Oh! Is that what the author was driving at!") This may be a dramatic way to structure a
short story; but it is a very poor way to structure a philosophy paper. I shouldn't have to spend my
time reading the paper trying to figure out what your view is; I should be abl ...

A. Identify the normal values for each of the following labs. Consider normal values across gender, race, and age, and pregnancy status, when applicable.
B. Identify clinical indications for obtaining the following labs.
1. List when indicated for routine screens if applicable (for example,the USPSTF recommends screening for chlamydia in sexually active women age 24 years and younger and in older women who are at increased risk for infection, or TSH screening is indicated for newborns. Indications for screening can also include risk factors. For example, ordering cholesterol levels on a patient with HTN or DM.
2. Besides screening,list 1-3 clinical indications for ordering the lab. For example, clinical indications of WBC include
Fever with associated symptoms, weight loss, bone pain with fever, etc.
C. Identify conditions associated with abnormal LOW levels of each of the following labs (if applicable)
D. Identify conditions associated with abnormal HIGH levels of each of the following labs (if applicable)

3. Thyroid Function Tests

On Writing an Ethical Argument Evaluation Paper (PHIL 302)
Topic is Racism between social Classes
Before you begin writing, it is crucial to pick a subject, topic, or a specific argument that interests you. Your paper will be a critical evaluation of the soundness of an argument. If you already have an argument, then you can go on to the next step. If not, you may choose to discuss one from an author you have read, or you may formulate your own. In some courses, you may consider a case study for your paper. In that case you will formulate an argument that purports to defend a resolution to the case. You should note that it is not crucial that you pick an argument with which you agree. It is about equally difficult (or easy) to write a paper opposing an argument as it is to write one supporting it, so you should probably choose an argument that is interesting first.
Your paper will have seven parts:
I. Introduction
II. Position
III. Argument
IV. Justification
A. V ...

14. We are not obligated to protect animal welfare.
15. Affirmative action is a moral obligation.
16. Affirmative action is not a moral obligation.
In making your argument, you are required to:
A. Include the following:
I. An introduction that includes your thesis statement
a. for example, say I’m writing an essay on the value of reading books and my thesis statement is about the value of reading books over watching movies. My introduction could simply be “In this essay, I argue that it is better to read a book than to watch a movie.”
II. Reason(s) that support your thesis statement (In other words, what are the reasons why should we agree with your thesis statement?)
a. for example: “Reading books gives the reader an advantage of having more detail in exposition that simply watching a movie cannot. For example, a five-second pan of the camera in a movie scene loses all of the important detail—even occasionally the narrator’s inner monologue—that can be expounded on for several pages in a novel. All of this information can make a difference in both one’s understanding and one’s appreciation of the story being told. Movies all too often are incapable of capturing fully that information the way the artfully-crafted written word can.”
NOTE: The above is simply a brief example of what supporting reasons for a thesis might look like. This is not, however, an example of an appropriate or recommended length for this particular section of your essay. You want your essay to be as strong as possible—after all, you are trying to convince us of your position, right? Therefore, you should spend an ample amount of room explaining exactly why it is we should agree with you.
III. A strong objection to your thesis
a. for example: “Some may argue that watching a movie is better than reading a book because movies can present a story in around two hours, while reading a book usually takes much more time.”
IV. A response to that objection
a. For example: “Especially when so many of us have busy lives and are pressed for time, the idea of watching a two-hour movie may seem more appealing than taking the time to read a 450-page book. However, I will argue that the benefits of taking the time to read a book far outweigh any benefit gained from lazily watching a two-hour flick. For example, .
Those 3 journal entries are a minimum of 250 words for each id.docxVannaJoy20
Those 3 journal entries are a minimum of 250 words for each idea
reflection per idea reflection. You can go longer on text or video if needed.
If you are doing text it would run about 2000 words for the three weeks of
reflections and about 2750 words in the final journal which will cover four
weeks.
The format is your choice depending on your comfort level with technology
and what you feel best fits your topic and creative inspiration. It could be a
written Word doc. It could be a video. You could include your own creative
work such as photographs, memes, graphics, artwork, poems, songs,
graphs, diagrams, and tables. You can also use PowerPoint (link from
Google Drive in your assignment post), Prezi, or an audio file. Include links
to what is being discussed in your reflections when its from something
other than our course. If you are using video and it is a file smaller than 500
mb you can upload it directly to Canvas.
This can be a painless and enjoyable learning process if you do it regularly.
If an idea grabs you as you are reading the Canvas site or the Our Own
Worst Enemy book, do a short write-up. If you wait until a day before it’s
due, or worse, the day of, it will be unpleasant.
Credible sources are a must
As you analyze the different ideas, your evaluation of the pluses and
minuses of each idea is up to you. You will not be graded or judged
on your beliefs and values. This course is about reflecting on critical
political questions and issues and learning how to think, not what to
think. You are required to include citations and supporting evidence
for all your views. See the next page for definitions of credible
sources. Use it as a checklist. If it meets all the criteria use the
source. If it doesn't meet all criteria don't use it. You are responsible
for vetting your sources before using them in this course!

How to Get a Better Grade on an
Assignment
To improve your grade on assignments use the following list of things to do
and things to avoid. Use it as a checklist as you edit your assignment. The
more checks the better your grade will be.
Above all remember as you analyze different perspectives, your
evaluation of the relative strengths and weaknesses of any political
position is up to you. You will not be graded or judged on your beliefs
and values. This course is about teaching you HOW to think, not
WHAT to think. I do not care if you are Republican, Democrat, Right or
Left or none of the above. What is important is to make the best
possible argument you can for your position. The tips on this page
will help you do just that. It begins with the six most common
mistakes that I've seen in assignments.
