General Advice on Writing Philosophy Essays
1. I’m looking for knowledge of the relevant course material, understanding and evaluation of the arguments involved, and some original and coherent thinking. Style is relevant. This involves such things as clarity, organization, grammar, and spelling.
2. The essay is a defence of your own position regarding a question of ethical significance. To give your position a worthy defence, imagine that your reader is skeptical about your conclusion but sympathetic to well formulated arguments. When arguing against a position, imagine how your opponent would reply.
3. Strong argumentation and originality of thought are highly valued in philosophy papers. This could involve subtle and detailed analysis of an issue, concept, or author, and it could involve comparing or connecting different ideas in order to develop your own view. Accuracy in your treatment of texts is also important. As a reader, I want you to give me the most for the least – that is, to make lots of points, defend them adequately, back them up with appropriate attention to course material, and to do this without padding or repetition.
4. Marks will be deducted for poor writing (paragraph organization, grammar and diction), so proofread carefully. I also come down hard on papers that clearly misread an author, that are self-contradictory, or that say little in a vague way.
5. All ideas taken from someone else should be referenced in MLA or APA format, even if they are not direct quotations. Page references should be given for all direct quotations from a printed source.

I have provided course notes for you as an attachment to use and reference to help write this essay, you are to reference them properly using APA format when you use them in the essay. You are required to use additional secondary sources as well to write this.

Kurdish Self-determination and Territorial Rights

Kurdish Self-determination and Territorial Rights. Examine the Kurdish attempts towards greater self-determination within the context of the Stanford definition of Secession and Territorial rights.

For example, look at the recent referendum for secession in Iraq, the prior establishment of the KRG in Iraq, and attempts at building a ‘Rojava’ across the region.

Also, draw from information from the source attached.

Include a comparison between Choice and Nationalist theories of secession in the Kurdish context. (Can be a small section but would provide a relevant link to course material).

For outside sources, please use articles published in peer-reviewed scholarly journals.

I have also attached 3 copies of my own work from another course to help guide in the writing style.

What specific American values and/ or desires is the company appealing to in their advertisements, and have their appeals changed over time? If not, why might they have stayed the same over time? If so, how might the changes reflect changes in American cultural values?
Organization:
This paper must include a full introduction paragraph that begins with a hook, introduces the topic (the company being analyzed), and the thesis and essay map. After the introduction, the paper must include multiple body paragraphs that follow the AXES; in each body paragraph, quotes (if the ads have words) and descriptions of the ads must be integrated to support the student’s claims. Each body paragraph should contain at least one quote or detailed description of the ads, and each must be cited! The paper must wrap up with a conclusion paragraph.

The best way to approach this paper’s organization is to explore the ads chronologically; this means you will likely have two to three body paragraphs on the old ads, followed by two to three body paragraphs on the new ads. Remember: compare the ads based on a shared theme to determine if the message has changed. Give equal attention to all four ads.
