For each article on the topic, explain the author’s view and how it makes sense. Put the argument in the best light possible. Make it convincing. Do this as if teaching it to someone else so that, based on your explanation, your readers will see how the article works.  Having now made the best case you can in support of more than one stance on the issue, offer, explain, and justify YOUR VIEW on the matter. In doing so, engage the ideas of the other views outlined. o Part of your support for your own view should involve showing what is wrong with the other views and/or why your view is better. o Keep the criteria for evaluating theories, as well as the theories and principles from chapter one in mind. o Steinbock, Kuhse, and Brandt have offered you models of how to engage other views while offering and supporting your own.  Remember, explaining something requires more than merely stating or asserting it; showing something is more than merely saying “in the text, Benjamin says so.”
