Write a 4-6 page essay-style answer to one of the following questions:
Question I: Platos Protagoras
What does Socrates mean in the Protagoras when he claims that the virtues are one? Outline two possible interpretations of this thesis, and present a case for preferring one line of interpretation to the other. For example, does your preferred reading find stronger support in the text? Or does your favoured reading attribute a more philosophically defensible position than the alternative? Or do you think your preferred reading can be defended on other grounds? Explain.
This assignment involves three tasks:
Task 1
First, outline the two interpretations of Socrates thesis you want to consider, labeling each one clearly. For example, you can simply call them Interpretation 1 and Interpretation 2. Explain how Socrates conceives of the unity of the virtues on each interpretation. For example, does he regard justice, piety, etc. as synonyms
Read the assigned text this week philosophically. Outline the argument: thesis, premises (reasons for believing the thesis), and evidence to support the premises. You should organize your essay to answer the following questions in approximately 650 words:
What do you think the text is arguing?
What evidence is there in the text to support your reading?
What is the meaning of the text's argument? Why?
What implications are there if the argument is true? Why?
Could the text be read as meaning something else?
What reasons might someone give for holding this alternative reading of the text?
Why do you find your original account of the argument and meaning of the text more persuasive than alternative readings?
Finish your essay by taking a position of your own. What is your thesis? What are your premises (reasons for believing the thesis is true)? What evidence do you have? Why might someone disagree with you? Why are you unpersuaded. This articulation of your ow
I need a 4 to 6-page critical assessment paper on The Dilemma of Jehovah's Witness Children Who Need Blood to Survive.

If you choose to quote the book (or any other source), keep it to one line. Please address each part of the questions and give a thorough explanation. Obviously, this quiz/paper must be open book so I expect the writing to be clear and well-edited. Proof-read your work.

Blaise Pascal claims that it is rational to believe in God even with a lack of evidence. Bertrand Russell claims that it is irrational to believe in continued existence after death, undermining Pascal's argument and that a belief in God is based on irrational (emotional) factors, such as fear and childraising, also providing reasons to question Pascal's argument. Explain, including the objections and replies by Lycan and Schlesingerand making clear how Russell's arguments apply to a critique of Pascal. Russell's arguments are found in both articles we read. 500 words
