Some Suggestions for a Great Paper
Always consider your audience.
Use simple but clear examples to illustrate concepts or theories.
You may attempt to show that the view being studied is inadequate (or bad) by presenting several possible situations that the view cannot adequately address. Or, you try to show that the view would not work in todays modern society, even if it is logically valid. Or, you may look for an internal inconsistency among the basic principles of the view under study. Or, you may assume that the theory is true and attempt to show that if it were true we would be engaging in a contradiction if we tried to use it.
You may attempt to show that the view being studied is strong (or good) by presenting several possible situations that demonstrate how well this view works. Or, you may attempt to show how our society would benefit if it adopted this view. Or, you may generate an analysis of the principles and illustrate how well the principles hold together and that this cohesion suggests that the view is valid. Or, you may attempt to show that proceeding without the view would go against the best interest of the individual or society.
Write your philosophy paper in first person. When you do your paper in first person, you are telling your reader that you are one hundred percent responsible for all information that it contains. In essence, you are directly accepting responsibility for the rational content of your paper. After introducing your topic or position in first person, you do not need to constantly use it to present your work. But, you must maintain constant control of the analysis and not let any particular source or author use you as a mouthpiece. If you agree with someones view, say so. If you wish to use someones argument to defend your position, use it. In either case you merely need to mention the source of the argument. In general, you do not need to come up with original arguments, in order to be in charge of your paper. You maintain your control because you are the one who chose to present that particular author in your paper and you are the one vouching for his or her credibility.
