What is the history of ‘Right to Work’ laws? Where did they come from? Who proposed them & why? Has their purpose or effect changed since original inception? Accurately summarize both sides of the ‘Right to Work’ debate.

What exactly is each side arguing, & what are the defenses to the claims of their opponents? Articulate your own opinion on this issue. Are ‘Right to Work’ laws ethically sound? Are they good for unions? Good for employers? Good for employees? If one or more of these stakeholders are disadvantaged, how? Do the benefits of these laws outweigh the costs? Why or why not? What is your prediction for ‘Right to Work’ laws in America? Currently, the country is divided more or less 50:50 in terms of states with and without such laws. Will they become the new norm? Or will they regress and be repealed in the states that have enacted them? Defend your predictions with sound reasoning.

“Stoic and Epicurean thinkers spent much time devising techniques and thought experiments. For example: imagine that today is the last day of your life. Are you ready to face death? Imagine, even, that this very moment – now! – is the last moment of your existence. What are you feeling? Do you have regrets? Are there things you wish you had done differently? Are you really alive at this instant, or are you consumed with panic, denial and remorse? This experiment opens your eyes to what is important to you, and reminds you of how time runs constantly through your fingers” (Bakewell 110).
