Assignment 1: Conflicting Viewpoints Essay – Part I

Due Week 2 and worth 30 points

When looking for information about a particular issue, how often do you try to resist biases toward your own point of view? This assignment asks you to engage in this aspect of critical thinking by playing the “Believing Game.” The Believing Game is about making the effort to “believe” – or at least consider – the reasons for an opposing view on an issue.

In this assignment, you will first read a book excerpt about critical thinking processes: “The Believing Game and How to Make Conflicting Opinions More Fruitful” at http://www.procon.org/sourcefiles/believinggame.pdf. Next, you will review the Procon.org Website in order to gather information. Then, you will engage in prewriting to examine your thoughts.
Note: In Part II of the assignment (due Week 4), you will write an essay geared towards synthesizing your ideas.

Follow the instructions below for this activity. Use complete sentences and adhere to standard rules of English grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and spelling.

1. Select one (1) of the approved topics from the www.procon.org Website and state your position on the issue.
2. From the Procon.org Website, identify three (3) premises (reasons) listed under either the Pro or Con section — whichever section opposes your position.
3. For each of the three (3) premises (reasons) that opposeyour position on the issue, answer these “believing” questions suggested by Elbow:
   1. What’s interesting or helpful about this view?
   2. What would I notice if I believed this view?
   3. In what sense or under what conditions might this idea be true?”

The paper should follow guidelines for clear and organized writing:

• Include an introductory paragraph and concluding paragraph.
• Address main ideas in body paragraphs with a topic sentence and supporting sentences.
• Adhere to standard rules of English grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and spelling.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA Style format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Create written work utilizing the concepts of critical thinking.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in critical thinking skills and informal logic

This assignment requires 1800 words minimum, composed in your own words. Quotations from the book are permitted (and they can help you make your paper better) but they do not count towards this word requirement. Your paper must be double-spaced, 11 point font size, on a regular 8.5 x 11 paper size with 1” margin. Your name must be at the top, followed by this title: Paper 3 for PHIL 101 Section __ (add your class’s section number – either 002, 101, or 555).

In your paper, you have to accomplish these three objectives:

First, explain how Kant’s categorical imperative applies to this question: Is it morally right for every child to be vaccinated against bad diseases like measles and mumps? Be sure to explain how you imagine a world in which that moral rule is the rule for everyone. In that imagined world, would everyone prefer that this rule is followed by everyone? Based on your answer to that question, describe how you reach your final answer: would Kant agree, or disagree, that it is morally right for every child to get vaccinated. Then describe how you would explain to people against child vaccination, using only reasoning based on Kant’s ethics, why their opinion can’t be morally right.

Second, describe how John Stuart Mill’s utilitarian principle – “the greatest happiness for the greatest number” – would be applied to this problem: Should there be a law that requires all parents to make sure that all their children receive vaccinations to prevent bad diseases like mumps and measles? Be sure to describe how your answer – “Yes, that law is the utilitarian answer” or “No, utilitarianism does not support this law” – is supported by considering the long-term consequences. How would the whole country be affected, one way or the other? Then describe how you would explain to people who are against child vaccination, using only reasoning based on utilitarianism, why their opinion can’t be morally right.

Third, describe what Kwame Appiah would probably say about a small society where all the parents reject child vaccinations on religious grounds. Does that small society (for example, an isolated community in a rural area, or a small country somewhere) have the right to be left alone about having no child vaccinations? Should a larger country, that thinks that children deserve protection from diseases, threaten that small society (with crippling economic sanctions, or sending in the army) in order to force it to allow vaccinations? Where would a larger country get the right to impose its own morality on the small society? Does it have that right? In your paper, you have to accomplish these three objectives:

Be sure to explain how you imagine a world in which that moral rule is the rule for everyone. In that imagined world, would everyone prefer that this rule is followed by everyone?
