GUIDE:

1) Focus on the 4 articles provided. There is no need to include others – you can if you desperately want to but remember we really want you to compare and contrast these 4.

2) Read all the articles and summarize them attempting to overview and capture their major arguments – what do these authors propose? You cant fake having read the articles and this will take you some time. Every bit of reading you do here, will be of benefit to you in the first two assessment tasks, and may also be helpful in the exam. In other words, you will directly benefit from it.

3) Summarizing articles enable you to compare and contrast them – you need to be able to overview whats written in them – the major arguments – so that you really understand the essence of them and enough of the detail. It will also help you build connections between these articles and other ideas/concepts/theories contained within the course.

4) Make sure you conclude by answering the question – which of the articles you believe best explains the decision making process and tell the reader why.

Socrates says it is impossible to harm a good man either in life or in death.Discuss how does that make any sense?

Socrates says it is impossible to harm a good man either in life or in death. How does that make any sense? Good men can certainly be killed, and Socrates knows that, so in what sense are they ‘not being harmed’? Is that sense really the one that matters?
