Final Presentation Proposal
For this assignment, write a proposal for your final narrated presentation (due Week Eight). This will be an argumentative presentation, in which you pick a topic within the philosophy of law, form an argument, and create a presentation that effectively outlines your topic and presents your argument.
Topic:
Should the Death Penalty Be Considered Morally and Legally Justifiable? Argument: The death penalty should be abolished because the state should not have the moral authority to take a person’s life, particularly when wrongful convictions are possible. Why it works: You can discuss justice, punishment, retribution, deterrence, human rights, and wrongful convictions.
Submission Instructions:The proposal must be one to three paragraphs long (roughly half a page to a page of double-spaced text), and must include an annotated bibliography of three or more academic sources. All sources should be properly quoted and cited in MLA, APA, or Chicago style format, with a reference or bibliography list on the last page/slide of the assignment (not included in the suggested page/slide count). Below each source please include a few sentences explaining the contents of the source and how you plan to use it in your presentation. Do not copy and paste from the source.
