CRITICAL POSTION PAPER

This paper topic is on a theoretical issue (e.g., intrinsic value, anthropocentrism). In this paper you need to identify your main thesis, define the main terms used to describe it and develop a supporting argument.

this assignment is supposed to be a critical discussion of a theoretical issue. This means it will resemble the various readings in this course. You need to choose an issue like anthropocentrism, or sustainability, or animal rights/value, or ecocentrism, or any of the other issues discussed in the readings. For example, you mention Baxter in your paper so you could use his paper as the basis of your discussion. You would then explain his position, evaluate his arguments, discuss how it is or might be criticized, and then give an overall evaluation of his view. 

"you will need to explain what he says, identify and discuss the arguments he makes to support his position, evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of these arguments, consider what might be said to make his position stronger, consider what might be said against her position or against any of his particular arguments (preferably by discussing what is said against his view by other authors), and then end with your assessment of what you have just discussed. Is this a reasonable position? Is it necessary for or does it contribute to the topic? Is it more or less effective than other approaches?"

PAPER NEEDS TO BE ABOUT 2000 WORDS

YOU NEED TO BE VERY SPECIFIC IN TERMS OF POSITION AND ARGUMENTS.
