Social Justice & Jesuit Values Position Paper

Write a position paper in which you do the following:

First, in your opening paragraph provide a brief overview of the social justice issue you chose. In this same paragraph, provide a solution to the issue in the form of a moral claim (this is your thesis statement). When you are making your moral claim, try to refer to one of the ethical theories we read about last week. Your introduction should be concise and dedicated to giving the reader just enough information to convey the issue and indicate the relevance of your moral claim.

In the body of your paper incorporate several political philosophers and/or ethical theories to support your moral claim. Explain how each of these political or ethical theories supports your position. As you move further into the body of your paper, give as many specific details as you can in support of your claim.

Next, present a counterargument in which you anticipate and respond to criticisms of your position. You can choose an opposing ethical theory, if you wish.

Lastly, discuss how your chosen Jesuit value informs and supports your claim. Indicate why this Value sheds unique light on the question at hand. Do you see any relationship between the Jesuit Value you have chosen and the political theory you’ve been exploring? If so, say how.

Now write a brief conclusion in which you recount your social justice issue and the solution you proposed. You’ve already made your case; your conclusion simply closes the circle.

Once you have finished reviewing the background materials, think about communication that you receive in your daily life that is intended to sway your attitudes, opinion, or behavior. This could be communication from your employer, YouTube videos, TV advertisements, spam email, and a host of other communication that you are exposed to in your daily life. After reviewing some communication examples, write a 3-page paper with a minimum of two scholarly sources (citing and referencing) addressing the following questions:

1.)Describe a communication example that you have seen that is best described as propaganda. In addition to describing the communication, explain why you think this was propaganda rather than argumentation or persuasion.

2.)Now find a communication example that you think is a good example of argumentation.

3.)Last, but definitely not least, find a communication example that is best defined as persuasion and best fits the concepts of persuasion discussed in Cialdini (2001) or McLean (2012). Explain why you think this communication best fits the definition of persuasion rather than propaganda or argumentation.
