  8. PHI 200 UOP Course Tutorial PHI 200 Week 5 Written Assignment Final Argumentative Paper Death Penalty (Ash Course) . • PHI 200 Week 5 Written Assignment Final Argumentative Paper • Three important sub-disciplines of philosophy are addressed in this course; ethics, epistemology, and religion. For this paper you will develop an argument that includes your own view on one specific topic relating to one of these sub-disciplines.  A list of topics to choose from is listed below.  It is recommended that you choose a topic to write on that you have already encountered, or that you have thought about previously. (One way of thinking about this is to think of an issue that worries you, interests you, or enrages you.) For instance, if you choose to write about whether children should be spanked (this is only an example), you would present the argument for spanking and against spanking; you would then state your position relative to this issue and defend your own view. You would also utilize the theories that we saw in the ethics chapter to provide support for your position, and draw on those theories to clarify the debate itself. .
