Textual Analysis

Topic: Choose a passage (or series of passages) by Aristotle and show how it applies to the challenge of technological development in our time.

Length:  3-5 pages

Format: Place the passage at the top of the first page, then your paper should be divided in two parts.  In the first part, isolate three themes in the passage and explain what they mean broadly speaking, that is, in a way that does not apply to your issue.  Then in the second part, show how we can productively apply each of those three themes to the issue of technological progress or the issue of climate change skepticism.

Use at least 2 sources beyond our course materials (Minimum of 5 sources needed for good grade).
