The document contains a passage from Plato's The Republic discussing whether individuals should specialize in a single occupation and trade their goods, or try to fulfill all their own needs themselves with multiple occupations. Plato argues that specialization allows people to become highly efficient and skilled in one area through practice and experience. This same principle of specialization and expertise, Plato claims, should be applied to politics - the city should be ruled by those specialized in and best equipped for governance: the philosophers.

THE ETHICS OF ELEPHANTS IN CIRCUSES
This is the argument in
Standard Form.
Standard Form means
putting each premise
and conclusion on a
separate line, as
observed here. Labeling
the premises P1, P2, etc.
is also helpful to be able
to refer to them later.
The next four
paragraphs
provide
support for
each premise
of the
argument.
The topic of
each
paragraph is
clear from the
opening
sentence.
It is good to
provide
clarification of
the meaning of
premises as well
(as indicated in
the instructions).
P1: Elephants are highly intelligent animals.
P2: Putting elephants in circuses requires them to live their
lives in extreme confinement.
P3: Anything that requires highly intelligent animals to
live their lives in extreme confinement is wrong unless it serves
a purpose that outweighs the suffering involved.
P4: Putting elephants in circuses does not serve a purpose that
outweighs the suffering involved.
C: Therefore, putting elephants in circuses is wrong.
The first premise has been widely known for decades by those who
have studied elephants. Scientific studies have shown that elephants are
able to independently discover novel methods to figure out how to retrieve
food, and they have recently been shown to be able to enlist the help of
other elephants in situations that require cooperation (Jabr, 2014).
The second premise is justified by looking at how elephants are
treated in circuses. When not performing or being transported, circus
elephants are kept on a short chain that prevents them from being able
to move around or even lie down normally. This is what is meant by
‘extreme confinement’: captivity so severe that the animal is not able
to get proper exercise and stimulation. In addition to the captivity, there

have been many reports, and footage, of abuse of circus elephants with bullhooks, electrocution, and
other forms of cruelty (Nelson, 2011).
The third premise makes a strong moral claim. Given the intelligence of elephants, and their
natural use of vast savannahs of space, life spent on a tiny chain will involve a tremendous amount of
suffering. They develop “stereotypic behaviors” such as constant swaying back and forth, indicating
severe psychological distress (Wildlife Advocacy Project, n.d.). President of PAWS, Ed Stewart, expresses
it well:
Elephants should not be in captivity – period … The social structure isn’t correct, the space is not
right, the climate is not right, the food is not right … They are unbelievably intelligent. With all of
that brainpower – to be as limited as they are in captivity – it’s a wonder they cope at all. (Jabr,
2014)
My final premise states ...

The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

2. Question 1.
“And how will they proceed? Will each bring the result
of his labors into a common stock?— the individual
husbandman, for example, producing for four, and
laboring four times as long and as much as he need in
the provision of food with which he supplies others as
well as himself; or will he have nothing to do with others
and not be at the trouble of producing for them, but
provide for himself alone a fourth of the food in a fourth
of the time, and in the remaining three-fourths of his
time be employed in making a house or a coat or a pair
of shoes, having no partnership with others, but
supplying himself all his own wants?”
In your own words, describe the dilemma or choice that
is being put here.
3. Question 1.
“The choice that is being put forward is that
of should a person do one thing well and sell
it to get what they need from other people or
should they do everything for themself at a
poorer quality. It is asking if it is better to try
and do everything for yourself rather than
doing what you are good at and relying on
others to do the rest for you.”
Zeb
4. Question 2.
It is agreed in the dialogue that a worker will
be more efficient when he only has one
occupation. What reasons are given for this?
5. Question 2
“A worker would be more efficient if they
had only one occupation, because they
would learn that one skill and become better
at it and faster at it over time. They would
produce quality things at a fast rate, making
things more efficient than if people focused
on many occupations at the same time.”
Anna
6. Question 2
“The main reason given to support the statement is
that a worker will be more efficient working in only
one occupation, and specialising in certain skills
will allow the task to be completed to a higher
standard. A large factor regarded in one
specialising skill is their natural ability of this skill
and if there is any natural talent. ‘There are
diversities of natures among us which are adapted
to different occupations.’ (Excerpt A)”
Kathy & Rosie
7. Question 3.
In this excerpt, Plato is making the
argument that the city should be ruled by
specialised philosopher-kings. Explain this
argument.
8. Question 3.
“As explained in excerpt A, specialisation is
required for a task to be done to its full
potential, and in excerpt B Plato explains
that the same principle must be applied to
politics, with a specialist ruler required for a
city to operate to its full potential.”
Aidan
9. Question 4.
What does the allegory of the cave have to
do with Plato’s belief that the city should be
ruled by the philosophers?
10. Question 4.
“Plato believes that the philosophers are like
prisoners who have escaped from looking at
the wall. They perceive things in a new light
and the “true reality”. The Prisoners who are
looking the shadows can be compared to the
labourers who only specialize in one area of
work.”
Nic
11. Question 5.
• “Which of the two classes should be the
rulers of our State?” Who are the two
classes? Which class does Plato think
should rule the state? Why?
12. Question 5.
• “Plato believes that the ruler of the State
should be “Whichever of the two are best able
to guard the laws and institutions of our State
— let them be our guardians [rulers].”
(Excerpt D.)The two classes are the wise and
educated and the uneducated. Plato
personally believes that the philosophers
should be the rulers of the State as they have
a deeper understanding of life and are better
equipped.”
