Description BACKGROUND TO ESSAY TOPIC:

Until a few generations ago, there was a well-known custom in many communities in some developing countries, communities whose economy was based almost entirely on self-sufficient agriculture. At the age of 35 or so, a married couple which in most of the cases already had about 5-8 children ages 8 to 18, would decide to bring an old age child. The reason to give birth to this child was to ensure that he or she will take care of the parents when they reach old age and need assistance. The community did not offer social services or medical insurance and without an old age child, the parents would not be able to bear old age with dignity. Some old age children would never marry; his or her main preoccupation was to take care of their aging parents. Nevertheless, no one was complaining. This was an ancient, deeply rooted custom. Was the old age child custom morally justifiable? Why yes or why not? essay should be written in the following way: (1) In the first paragraph, you need to do two things. State your thesis, and the arguments that justify your answer. In other words, the first paragraph will be the outline of your essay. For example, if you choose topic 1, your thesis will be either “I will advise the Minister to turn a blind eye” or “I will advise the Minister not to turn a blind eye on bribing.” Please read carefully the document “How to Write the First Paragraph,” before you write the essay. (2) In the following paragraphs, carry on the plan from the first paragraph. You need to use at least two arguments to justify your position. Both arguments must be based on ethical theories that we have covered in the course so far. If you present specific arguments that you found on the Internet or elsewhere, you must clearly identify the source. (3) Each paragraph (with the exception of the first) should talk about one argument (issue) only. Following this rule is likely to make a big difference.
