Movie – John Q
Essay will involve a write-up of a cultural event, e.g. a movie, play, lecture, etc. You can do write-ups on movies that are no longer in theaters. MLA style guides, including a ?Work?s Cited? page. The write-up must include an analysis of the key philosophical issues presented in the event and their relation to material covered in class. In other words, you must address three points in your write-up:
1) Provide a synopsis of the cultural event
2) Clearly identify and discuss the philosophical issue addressed in the event, i.e., what
is the issue and how is it resolved?
3) Clearly explain how any thinker we have discussed might address and resolve the
philosophical issue raised in the cultural event.
This part of the write-up MUST be supported by textual evidence.
