PHL301

PHL301 Final Essay Assignment Prompt: write a 6-8 page, double-spaced essay answering both of the following questions. Roughly half the space should be used for each
question. To succeed in this task, present a clear and careful exposition of the texts and demonstrate your command of the material as you present the reasons leading
up to your conclusion. Before you submit your paper, ask yourself, “If my instructor had to rely solely on this paper, would they conclude that I have carefully
read/viewed the material, grappled with the issues raised, and formulated a compelling argument in support of my conclusion?” Be sure to revise your paper and put
forth your best effort. The paper must be submitted via the Moodle drop box by the date indicated in the syllabus. The papers should be double-spaced, use 12 point
Times New Roman font and 1″ margins. If you have not done so already, review the academic dishonesty policy stated in the course syllabus as these policies are
strictly enforced. 1) Using the works of De Beauvoir and Royce, assess the actions of Howard Campbell Jr. (Nick Nolte) in the film “Mother Night.” Which actions were
