Hi, Class - this is me, MT, teacher, and editor of this post: I took the *liberty* to edit this post of Ashley so you'd all look. I didn't want to bump down" that cute and brilliant video on immigration! Watch it if you have not.
Here is more on the rules paper: pick a rule, any rule. decide if it seems primarily in Durkheim's category of "technical" or primarily "moral" e.g., brush your teeth or your teeth rot seems pretty technical. Technical rule = the punishment is "built in" to the act. The technical computer rule is save a file or you lose the file. Thou shalt not kill seems pretty moral. Now, with your rule of choice and being very specific about what you mean, show how the rule you picked can also be seen as the opposite type (how is it also moral if classified as technical or how is it also technical if you pick a moral rule.) Remember, the more specific the better.
- the EASY way is to take a technical rule and say how it had morality added onto it, e.g., Momma says you're a "good boy" if you do or a "bad boy" if you do not follow.
- the HARDER but maybe more ENLIGHTENING route might be to pick a moral rule and explain how it actually is a "direction" on "how things do work" rather than all moral.

Let us say that it is due on Wednesday!
here are some more instructions
pick a rule, any rule.
decide if it seems primarily "technical" or primarily "moral"
e.g., brush your teeth or your teeth rot seems pretty technical. Save a file or you lose the file: also technical.
e.g., thou shalt not kill seems pretty moral.
now, with SPECIFIC EXAMPLES show how the rule you picked can also be seen as the opposite type

Does the paper have to be type/ or just write some notes? A little confuse about what to do. If someone knows what to do please give some feed back. thnks.
haywar: i would suggest you to type, since it's a "paper". it sounds like a small essay so to speak. a casual essay, but not a short handwritten paragraph essay. hope tat helps
btw, if i remember correctly it should be about a page, double spaced.
