POLS 1401                                                                                                                                             Dr. Upton, Spring 2025 Final Exam: In-Class Essay Write a short but well-planned essay response to one of the following questions. You have the full final exam period, so I suggest you spend 20-30 minutes planning and outlining, about 60 minutes writing, and 20-30 minutes editing and proofreading. Before you begin writing, form a specific argument (thesis) in response to the prompt you choose and determine how you will support your thesis using quotations, paraphrases, and references to arguments from the works we have read. Your response must incorporate and analyze at least four quotations of any length from the supplemental readings from the second half of the semester (available in hard copy or on Canvas) and/or from among those provided on the following pages. Use these quotes to demonstrate your understanding of the theorists’ ideas and to advance your argument. Note: If using the quotes provided, you may shorten and use only part of them, and no citation is required. If using a quote from one of the supplemental readings, include the page number where the original quote can be found. Please indicate at the top of your response which prompt you are replying to. You are also encouraged to give your paper a title, but it is not required.   Both John Stuart Mill and Karl Marx are deeply concerned about freedom, but they define it in different ways. Compare Mill’s definition and defense of individual liberty in On Liberty (including the harm principle) with Marx’s notion of “human emancipation.” How does each thinker understand freedom? What solutions do they propose to the obstacles to freedom? In A Theory of Justice, John Rawls attempts to outline a fair and just society; in the Communist Manifesto, Marx and Engels call for a revolutionary transformation of society to achieve true equality. Compare and contrast these critiques of existing social and economic inequalities. How would Marx and Engels respond to Rawls, and vice versa? Edmund Burke and Karl Marx offer radically different visions of political and social change. Compare Burke’s defense of tradition and gradual reform in Reflections on the Revolution in France with Marx’s call for revolutionary upheaval. Which, if either, is persuasive? What are the strengths and weaknesses of each approach to achieving a just and desirable society? In “Famine, Affluence, and Morality,” Peter Singer argues that we have extensive moral obligations to aid others, while John Stuart Mill—like Singer, a utilitarian—prioritizes individual liberty and experimentation. Analyze how Singer’s call to sacrifice for distant others relates to or challenges Mill’s views on individual freedom and maximizing utility. In Reflections on the Revolution in France, Edmund Burke emphasizes the importance of tradition, social hierarchy, and inherited roles; in The Second Sex, Simone de Beauvoir critiques the ways women have been historically defined and constrained as the “Other.” Compare their views on tradition, authority, and the desirability of social change. Which writer’s position is more persuasive, and why? Tips and Reminders: Make sure your thesis statement responding to the prompt is clearly formulated and stated. Your argument will be stronger if it’s more specific. Avoid making sweeping generalizations. In addition to quotations, you can use logical reasoning and current or historical examples as evidence to support your claims. Don’t forget to raise and respond to potential counterarguments. Think about how someone might take the opposite view and try to respond to that claim. Writing quality matters. Proofread; check spelling, grammar and syntax carefully. The most important thing is to write as clearly as possible. Do not try to sound academic or fancy.
