Document Summary
For your essay, pick one of the posted topics, read the text carefully, and formulate your own thesis, which should indicate either agreement or disagreement with the position of the author presented in the text. It is also possible to advance a more complicated position. Once, you have formulated your thesis, provide arguments to support your position. You can use both historical and logical arguments to back up your answer. If you feel that the thesis calls for a clarification, clarify it, but remember that the key ingredient of your essay is your arguments. The more convincing are the arguments the better. Whether you present a particular historical episode or discuss a highly abstract logical point, make sure that your line of reasoning actually supports your position. Obviously, the more original is the argument, the better. This is the best way to convince your reader that you have mastered the topic and have your own thoughts about it.
