identifyan intriguing textual pattern that exists in a minimum of three short stories or two plays from the authors we have studied this term. Without giving away your thesis, try to pique your readers’ curiousity by drawing their attention to some interesting textual complexities in the stories you have chosen to analyze. End your introduction by raising a specific question about the textual complexities you identify. Help readers to feel that understanding these complexities is important.
Element #2-Provide some context for the general literary and historical importance of the author and his or her work. Explain in general terms why the author and his or her work are important to understand. Explain the author’s significant contributions to literary art or history. Ideally, connect an author’s particularly literary strength to the question you have chosen to address.
Element #3-Provide a critical survey of significant secondary texts that throw light onto the textual question you have identified. Clearly summarize five different critics’ views relevant to the interpretive question you have identified. Each summary should identify a critic and the title of his or her article. Explain the critical question each scholar is trying to shed light on, and then explain his or her central interpretive idea. Finally, briefly explain some of the evidence and reasoning each critic uses to support his or her main idea. At least half of the critics should have published before 1990. As you make choices about which articles to summarize, always favor print sources over electronic ones, though electronic sources that publish print equivelants are fine. Be very selective. Choose critics who reflect the most important scholarship on the author you are analyzing. Show readers you are an expert in understanding the key critical questions that surround the author and texts you are interpreting.
Element #4-Offer a thesis that seeks to answer the question you raise at the beginning of your interpretive analysis. Your thesis must be stated in clear and unambiguous language. It should articulate a complex meaning or idea derived from the language of the texts you focus on. Your thesis should express some insight or wisdom into human experience. You must encapsulate your thesis statement in one or two complete sentences.
Element #5-Provide amble textual evidence to support your interpretive thesis. Identify and explain several textual examples from at least three stories or two plays that support your interpretive answer to the question you raised at the beginning of your paper. IN your interpretive analysis, treat each text separately, but save your most persuasive textual evidence and explanation for last. You are encouraged (though not required) to bolster your interpretive insights with secondary support. This 5th element is the most important part of your paper! It must be clear, thorough, logical and persuasive. Any intelligent reader ought to respect your interpretation even if he or she might disagree with your conclusion.

interpretation of the “Good Life” and a critical analysis of ethical relativism. Base your interpretation for both requirements on Plato’s The Republic and Victor Frankl’s The Human Search for Meaning.

Prior to writing your paper, review the excerpts from the Republic and The Human Search for Meaning, concentrating on the ethical principles involved. Then, in your paper, write about your understanding of how each of these three stories brings to you the “wealth” of the soul that will allow you to experience the same “Good Life” that Plato and the thinkers mentioned in the class articulated.

Cephalus, pages 11–14.
Ring of Gyges, pages 40–44.
Cave of Ignorance, pages 186–189.
Myth of Er, pages 281–285.
The Human Search for Meaning, page 530 of your Sommers text.
As you prepare to write this paper, consider the following to guide your thinking:

From the “Ring of Gyges,” think about the choices we all make. Do we always act for personal gain? Can we never act towards the greater good? How does the concept of self worth and self dignity apply in both Frankl and your own experience?

The point of the “Cave of Ignorance” is to turn your eyes to a different type of reality: The reality of the sun (The Good) and how it filters down to everything. As an analogy, the sun is the universal good and is what allows us to see and, thus, value all things. What reality do you hold onto as a value? Does a vision of the Good argue for or against an ethical relativism?

The last excerpt from The Republic is the “Myth of Er.” Think about the “soul” of Odysseus and the choice he made. What do you think is the psychological importance of understanding the values of ordinary life and how we live from day to day?

Finally, Victor Frankl’s Logo Therapy is based on finding a meaning in life or understanding how one’s life can be seen within the context of “meaning.” Relate Frankl’s Logo Therapy to the three stories of The Republic and your selection of the ethical thinkers we have discussed.

As you write your paper, you may also think about a universal ethics or an ethics based on relativism and culture and how this distinction has worked in your personal or professional life. Write about your personal journey toward the good life and how it can be obtained. Use Victor Frankl and the conversation of The Republic as a foundation but please provide your personal insights and observations.

Decision making is a vital component to entrepreneurship, and can affect a variety of elements in business.  Research articles on decision making, and incorporate your findings in a 2-3 page paper that describes how decisions are made. In the paper, provide an example of decision making, and discuss how such a decision can directly affect one or more of the following elements:

legal and regulatory issues
political agendas
cultural perceptions
demographic diversity
financial resources

1. Examine to what extent your religious beliefs fall into this pattern. Do some elements have more weight than others? If you do not have a belief system, interview someone who does and examine their belief system. Provide enough details to support your answer.

2. Then examine one of the “new religions” or alternative paths that are seen in today’s world and apply the same analysis to their beliefs. Do some elements have more weight than others? Are some totally absent? Provide enough details to support your answer.

3. New Religious Movements: Scientology, Falun Gong, Cao Dai, Wicca and Druidism, the Yoruba Tradition (Santería, Voodoo, and Candomblé), Rastafarianism,

The essay will be an assessment of a contemporary debate on an environmental topic. It is not an argumentative essay in favor of one side or the other. Treat the debate as a text that you are analyzing. You might address the following:
§ What is at stake in the debate? Is it a disagreement about means or ends?
§ What are the two (or more) sides of the debate?
§ What is the history of the debate? Who are the main backers of each side?
§ Analyze the language used by each side: how do they frame the problem? describe
themselves and their priorities? characterize their opponent(s)?
§ Do the different sides of the debate rely on different ideas of nature, or the same idea?
Assignment Guidelines
§ You will need to reference additional primary and secondary texts to determine what
supporters of each side say, and how they say it. The purpose of this essay is primarily an analysis of each side’s argument, rather than original research to support the argument of one side.
§ Similarly, while you as author will probably favor one side over the others, and your opinion should be openly acknowledged, your purpose is not to defend one side but rather to understand each side on its own terms.
§ That being said, do not confuse neutrality with balance: not all arguments are created equal, or deserve equal status in the public realm.
