How can science work both as a positive discourse positing human perfectibility and the order of Nature, and as a dangerously impersonal, dehumanizing discourse that allowed for millions of human “specimens” to be experimented on, and then exterminated during the Holocaust?

Human perfectibility and the order of Nature

How can science work both as a positive (even dangerously utopian) discourse positing human perfectibility and the order of Nature, and as a dangerously impersonal, dehumanizing discourse that allowed for millions of human “specimens” to be experimented on, and then exterminated during the Holocaust? What does it mean for Levi to turn to science to tell his story, and to tell aspects of THIS history? Does the science, like the carbon atom, give us hope, or does it act as a God- substitute, where God has failed us, or some interesting combination of effects? How do theories of Nature complicate our theories of human nature? How does a focus on the concrete help put the lie to systems of ideas, like Nazi ideology? How does the abstraction necessary to doing complicated science, e.g. studying the invisible world of atoms, call us to look below the surface of received History and complicate that
too? If science suggests linear progress, how does the 20th Century complicate THAT myth? Can history be used to complicate what we mean by science, which is after all, conducted by scientists – fallible people?

The Argumentative Essay

For this assignment, you will be writing an argumentative essay–a piece of writing that requires you to take a position, what rhetoricians call a claim, on a debatable topic (that is, a topic with more than one side). Specifically, you will present a policy claim where you argue for or against a change of some kind. This claim should be supported by reliable, credible evidence (i.e. scholarly sources) backed by research. In addition to presenting your claim, you will also need to acknowledge the other side, which is called the counterargument. For this assignment, you may choose your own topic or select one from the list below.

The Shallows Essay

In a 500-word typed, MLA formatted essay, explain the roles of our pre-digital heritage in Carr’s argument in The Shallows.

Write an essay that explains the role that this pre-digital heritage plays in helping Carr advance his arguments about our digital era. Why does he include these examples? What to they support or prove? Explain.
