· Begin by watching the videos and yes be sure to watch them thoroughly as you will use these videos as your main sources for completing the assignment.
· Then write a three-paragraph essay, in your own words, that answers the questions: "What is philosophy? Why is philosophy important?” Use examples to make your case.
· So this is a short essay, and it requires you to do 2 things. You must define the concept of philosophy and make a strong case for why it is valuable for a person to practice it. You may understand "importance" broadly as being ethical, practical, economic, historical, artistic, or functional. The key thing is that this is an open-ended essay where you are defining a concept and making a case based on that definition. So here is what a good short essay needs:
· A title page, properly formatted in APA style
· An introduction and a thesis statement that explains what you will prove in the paper
· The use of AT LEAST one source to help you define philosophy and as many other sources, as you may need, to prove why it has value. You ought to ESPECIALLY USE THE VIDEOS from the assignment page.
· A body of the paper, divided into AT LEAST THREE paragraphs, where you do the work of making your case
· The paper should be at least one to two pages in length (double spaced, standard-sized font)
· A conclusion that restates the thesis and resolves the paper
· In-text citations accompanying every quote and paraphrase of your sources
· A reference page, properly formatted in APA style, containing full bibliographic references for your chosen sources.
