Please choose one of the following topics for your essay: 1. Chapter II of On Death and Dying* by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross (1973) presents a modern perspective on death. Read “Society’s Contributions to Defensiveness” (PDF pages 1-9) and compare this perspective with Socrates’ attitude toward death in the Apology. Do you believe that Socrates’ view of death is relevant today, or has his way of thinking become obsolete? 2. “Semiautomatic” is a children’s story about memory loss and recovery. How is recollection as portrayed in “Semiautomatic” related to the geometry lesson in Plato’s Meno? Compare the girl in the story with the boy in the dialogue — both remember, but in different ways. Look for an underlying structure in the words and images of the story that parallels what we see in Meno.  3. In the spirit of Socrates, write a fictional dialogue between two characters who attempt to determine if SHU consistently upholds its values. For example, one can argue that SHU’s relationship with military contractors such as General Electric is incompatible with the values of the New Testament (e.g., Luke 6:27-37). Similarly, you can write a dialogue in which two characters debate whether a Catholic university is justified in charging high tuition rates. Read SHU’s core values and consider whether the University could defend itself against a modern-day Socrates. Feel free to have one character criticize SHU to the utmost, but be sure to use Socratic reasoning (specifically, the elenchus) as a model. Use the same format that we see in Meno and similar dialogues. 4. HYPER-REALITY is a motion picture that presents a dystopian world submerged in layers of images. How is the vision of the future portrayed in HYPER-REALITY related to the allegory of the Cave? Discuss differences and similarities. 5. In Book VII of the Republic, Socrates states that the majority of cities in his time are governed by “people who fight over shadows” (p. 192). Why does he state this? Are there people today who “fight over shadows” as well? Do you agree with the solution that is presented in the Republic? Your essay should be at least 700 words (maximum: 1,000 words). Feel free to use and develop comments that you have posted in a discussion. In addition, you may cite comments posted by your classmates. In the latter case, or when citing any material from outside the discussions, please use the MLA citation format (see the MLA Formatting and Style Guide for more information). Course textbooks and online texts should also be cited. Let me know if you have any questions about citing or if you prefer to write on a different topic. * Source: Kübler-Ross, Elisabeth. On Death and Dying. Routledge, 1973. SocINDEX. Accessed 19 July 2019. Guidelines: In your essay, quote and discuss several relevant passages from the assigned texts. Page numbers for each quotation should refer to the texts specified in the syllabus. Write a paragraph that discusses a possible weakness in your argument, and briefly address this weakness. This can be done after you present your main argument in the body of your essay. For example, if you agree with Socrates, briefly discuss an argument that opposes him. How would you respond to this opposing argument in defense of Socrates? Remove grammatical and typographical errors.  Summarize your main points in the first paragraph of your essay. Your first paragraph should provide an outline of the body of your essay. Use topic sentences to introduce each paragraph. Each paragraph in the body of your essay should develop one of your main points.

It is hard to nail down a fully accurate, and all-encompassing, definition of postmodernism.  However, one characteristic that is often associated with Postmodern art is the use of appropriation.   Write a short essay discussing the use of appropriation in a specific work of art. It can be a film, a comic book, a song, a painting, a sculpture, or any other creative endeavor.   Be sure to discuss:    what is being appropriated – was it from another creative piece? It is a “found object” – something that was already produced but is now being incorporated into a new work by someone who had not created the original thing?  Is just an idea or concept?   What could be the meaning of this appropriation? What added message or concept is brought into play by doing this?

Art and Class. Almost every art form is a reflection of the class for whom the art is made. We see repeatedly that the most lavish works are made for upper classes, while more modest works are for the lower classes. What about access to art? In many cases, the wealthy are the only ones who can afford to purchase high profile art or develop collections around well-known artists. Most private collections are closed to the public, but some private collections eventually end up in museums.Does the museum redress the class-related issues of ownership and access to art?Who controls what art gets into museums?Are there any forms of art that transcend class?How has COVID-19 altered this?
