For
each of the four response papers, you must write at least three typed
and double spaced pages on a topic of your choice that concerns the
material we have covered in the class so far. Do not spend time
summarizing the material, but rather focus on your own thoughts and
questions. You are welcome to use your own life experiences as well as
fictional and nonfictional material from outside class. While you are
welcome to reflect on anything you have found interesting, the following
are possible topics for your response.
Hobbes vs. Locke on the Social Contract
Hobbes vs. Rousseau on the State of Nature
Bentham vs. Mill on Utilitarianism
Locke vs. Thoreau on Property
