  • Is the unexamined life not worth living Essay

    Is the unexamined life not worth living Essay – Phase 1

    Basic Overview

    While the bulk of our class discussions are focused on understanding philosophy in its historical contexts, we would be remiss if we made the mistake of believing that philosophy is primarily an archaeological endeavor. Philosophy is not simply the study of profound ideas laid out by women and men in times gone by. Philosophy is active critical engagement; it is our attempt as human beings to come to grips with our world. The goal of this paper is to embrace this active nature of philosophy by engaging the philosophical texts we have read/discussed in the course as a foundation for our own critical responses.

    Your task in this essay project is to critically engage the study of philosophy by answering a (seemingly) simple question: “Why is the unexamined life not worth living?” To this end, you will need to engage the various philosophers we have read during the course, and use that engagement as a jumping off point from which to explore your own ideas on the subject. Your task is not to simply summarize what has been said by others, but to use the ideas of others as jumping off points to develop your own ideas.

    As philosophy is a new discipline for most of us, this essay will be composed in two phases.

    Phase 1:

    The first phase will be worth 40% of the grade for the essay project, and will be due alongside the midterm. During this phase of the project, you write a 3-5 page paper (in proper MLA or APA format) that treats on the topic outlined above.

    Critical Issues in the American Criminal Justice System – Sentencing Decisions and the Death Penalty

    Abstract
    This paper discusses three critical issues in the criminal justice system. It touches on the general issues of punishment philosophies, sentence decision making, and prison overcrowding and focused more specifically on the negative effects of each. Highlighted in this informational paper is the interrelated nature of the issues; each issue affects and is affected by the others. Data and information has been gathered from the FBI Uniform Crime Report, the Bureau of Justice Statistics, Amnesty International, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, and other scholarly works. Amongst the information given here are the detrimental effects of under-funding in the correctional system, the link between overcrowding and recidivism, the relationship between overcrowding and inmate violence, the ancient and moral foundation of many punishment philosophies, and the shocking number of crimes committed each year. Be forewarned that this paper focuses on the negative aspects and offers nothing in the way of a solution to these critical issues
