ESSAY GUIDE:
1. Read the Article on BREAKING THE LAW FOR JUSTICE.pdf (ATTACHED);
2. FOUR POINTS TO HAVE IN THE CRITIQUE ESSAY: (Reflect these points and write 4 paragraphs based on the guide below.
a. POINT 1 Summary of the Issue: What do you think is the issue? Narrate the problem and issue at stake in the case.
b. POINT 2 Interpret the issue from your point of view: Do you agree with the protesters? Or disagree with the protesters? Justify your position with reasons why you agree or disagree?
c. POINT 3 Analyze your position by using the principle of RATIONALITY (using William James’ definition in Kessler’s article, p. 6 – ATTACHED) in philosophizing, what position would you follow: FOUNDATIONALISM (like Socrates, Obey the Law no matter what, no to protesters’ action, or no to any rally or demonstration against) or would you follow CONSTRUCTIVISM (follow the advice of the many like following the protesters’ mind, or like disobeying the law for the sake of justice as the article states) in practicing your rationality?

d. POINT 4 Suggest other possible means to resolve the issue or problem: What do you think can be done first to find a reasonable solution to the case. Is there a balance position to resolve the issue, if any what is it?
