The question will treat the topic of Political Obligation.
The main purpose of your answer will be to connect arguments and approaches in political philosophy that will answer the question, with real world case
studies.
In the essay you have to show:
your depth of understanding of the issues,
your ability to critically reconstruct and engage with arguments and debates in the literature
your insight into how these arguments and debates connect with case studies and construct original arguments of your own. → THIS ONE IS REALLY
IMPORTANT.
responses have to be polished, well-structured, and with a well developed and logically constructed argument.
Make sure you do a well structured essay, with an introduction which specially shows each paragraph’s main argument. It must be clear what the essay
intends to do, and how you intend to defend the particular point. On the body structure, each section must have a clear role in establishing the conclusion.
For the conclusion, you have to summarize what you have said in the essay and give a clear final answer to the question.
