**Title of Paper**
[Introduction and Thesis] This template is formatted properly according to APA Style. It contains the correct order, placement, margins, fonts, headings, etc. Use it as a form and just fill in your information in the appropriate places.
[Supporting Paragraphs] Remember, you need to cite all information in your paper that originates from outside sources. To do this properly according to APA Style, you will need to include both in-text citation and a Reference list. An “in-text citation” is a brief parenthetical citation that comes directly after a quote or paraphrased information. The general in-text citation format is: (Author’s Last name, Year, p. #). Here is an example that paraphrases the conclusion of a research study: Research shows that 30% of teenagers prefer green grapes (Smith, 2015, p. 89). Another way to format this statement: Smith (2015) conducted a study that shows that 30% of teenagers in the United States select green grapes over any other color of grape (p. 89).
Never repeat the author’s last name in a sentence and then again in the citation. In the previous example, notice the author’s last name was not included in the in-text citation and that the year always follows the author’s last name. Would you prefer to use a direct quote instead? Follow this format: Smith (2015) concludes in his study, “After analyzing the preferences of 570 teenagers in the United we have determined that 29.8% selected green grapes over other varieties” (p. 89). If you are using a direct quote and the source does not have page numbers, count and list the paragraph number: (Doe, 2015, para. 16).

Discussion Post
· drill down into one section or set of sections covering a topic and explain what you feel the reader should be getting from the words of Aristotle. Also, elaborate on whether you see his description, theory, or conception as tenable in today's world.
· For example, in Book II, sections 5-7 are considered together to offer a definition of moral virtue. Note that you may need to find an edition that has a proper outline or take your best guess on what sections go together to detail some concept.
· On the Soul By Aristotle Book 2

Writing Assignment
· Identify a film that, through a plot line, scene, or a section of dialogue, effectively illustrates a key philosophical notion of either Plato or Aristotle. For example, your film might illustrate class structure, notions of truth, constructs of justice – virtually any philosophical school of thought or philosophical idea discussed by either Plato or Aristotle. Once you've identified your film you should
· Give a brief synopsis of the movie.
· Indicate clearly the notion you're exploring and how the film supports that idea/belief of either Plato or Aristotle. Then, consider how this same belief now plays out in today's society.
· Be sure to use passages from one or more dialogues to backup your assertions.
· The Details
· The paper is to be no less than 1100 words, not counting the works cited page.
· You should support your discussion by engaging reliable scholarly sources. Use A minimum of three reliable resources in addition to the film you've selected.
· Your paper is to be completed using MLA or APA formatting. This includes in-text citations and a Works Cited/References page. If you choose to use APA, be consistent and include a proper cover page.
A Few Examples
· To get you started, here are a few movies to consider:
· "The Croods" – a cave family that survives because of a sheltered life – you will see much of Plato's "The Republic" as the story develops. In this you will see the theme of justice, government, and just man.
· "Man of Steel" – Superman – you will once again see much of Plato's "The Republic" as the story develops. In this you will see the theme of justice, government, and just man.
· "The Matrix" movies – Plato's allegory of the cave in the movies along with Socrates and the Oracle of Delphi.
· Other suggestions: Any movie that depicts a class system and/or extreme censorship to maintain order or that "reality" is beyond what we see for Plato.
· Any movie depicting the benefits of being a virtuous person or that there is nothing beyond what we can see as reality for Aristotle.
· Here is a link to more movie ideas if you are seeking more choices. Keep in mind all may not be related to Plato or Aristotle: https://mubi.com/lists/essential-movies-for-a-student-of-philosophy

**Title of Paper**
[Introduction and Thesis] This template is formatted properly according to APA Style. It contains the correct order, placement, margins, fonts, headings, etc. Use it as a form and just fill in your information in the appropriate places.
[Supporting Paragraphs] Remember, you need to cite all information in your paper that originates from outside sources. To do this properly according to APA Style, you will need to include both in-text citation and a Reference list. An “in-text citation” is a brief parenthetical citation that comes directly after a quote or paraphrased information. The general in-text citation format is: (Author’s Last name, Year, p. #). Here is an example that paraphrases the conclusion of a research study: Research shows that 30% of teenagers prefer green grapes (Smith, 2015, p. 89). Another way to format this statement: Smith (2015) conducted a study that shows that 30% of teenagers in the United States select green grapes over any other color of grape (p. 89).
Never repeat the author’s last name in a sentence and then again in the citation. In the previous example, notice the author’s last name was not included in the in-text citation and that the year always follows the author’s last name. Would you prefer to use a direct quote instead? Follow this format: Smith (2015) concludes in his study, “After analyzing the preferences of 570 teenagers in the United we have determined that 29.8% selected green grapes over other varieties” (p. 89). If you are using a direct quote and the source does not have page numbers, count and list the paragraph number: (Doe, 2015, para. 16).

Discussion Post
· drill down into one section or set of sections covering a topic and explain what you feel the reader should be getting from the words of Aristotle. Also, elaborate on whether you see his description, theory, or conception as tenable in today's world.
· For example, in Book II, sections 5-7 are considered together to offer a definition of moral virtue. Note that you may need to find an edition that has a proper outline or take your best guess on what sections go together to detail some concept.

Writing Assignment
· Identify a film that, through a plot line, scene, or a section of dialogue, effectively illustrates a key philosophical notion of either Plato or Aristotle. For example, your film might illustrate class structure, notions of truth, constructs of justice – virtually any philosophical school of thought or philosophical idea discussed by either Plato or Aristotle. Once you've identified your film you should
· Give a brief synopsis of the movie.
· Indicate clearly the notion you're exploring and how the film supports that idea/belief of either Plato or Aristotle. Then, consider how this same belief now plays out in today's society.
· Be sure to use passages from one or more dialogues to backup your assertions.
· The Details
· The paper is to be no less than 1100 words, not counting the works cited page.
· You should support your discussion by engaging reliable scholarly sources. Use A minimum of three reliable resources in addition to the film you've selected.
· Your paper is to be completed using MLA or APA formatting. This includes in-text citations and a Works Cited/References page. If you choose to use APA, be consistent and include a proper cover page.
A Few Examples
· To get you started, here are a few movies to consider:
· "The Croods" – a cave family that survives because of a sheltered life – you will see much of Plato's "The Republic" as the story develops. In this you will see the theme of justice, government, and just man.
· "Man of Steel" – Superman – you will once again see much of Plato's "The Republic" as the story develops. In this you will see the theme of justice, government, and just man.
· "The Matrix" movies – Plato's allegory of the cave in the movies along with Socrates and the Oracle of Delphi.
· Other suggestions: Any movie that depicts a class system and/or extreme censorship to maintain order or that "reality" is beyond what we see for Plato.
· Any movie depicting the benefits of being a virtuous person or that there is nothing beyond what we can see as reality for Aristotle.
· Here is a link to more movie ideas if you are seeking more choices. Keep in mind all may not be related to Plato or Aristotle: https://mubi.com/lists/essential-movies-for-a-student-of-philosophy
