INTRODUCTION
The small city of Waynesville, Texas, has been identified as a candidate for hydraulic fracturing (aka “fracking”). Fracking is defined by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) as an “oil and gas well development process that typically involves injecting water, sand, and chemicals under high pressure into a bedrock formation via the well. This process is intended to create new fractures in the rock as well as increase the size, extent, and connectivity of existing fractures.” The result of this process increases gas or oil flow in low-permeability rocks, aiding extraction. Amid worries of disruption to the small town life afforded by the citizens of Waynesville, and concern for environmental impacts, the city council is considering a ban on fracking within city limits. To aid in their decision, they have sought the opinion of members of the community and experts alike.
Your job will be to debate the following motion: The city of Waynesville should impose a ban on fracking .
You have been assigned a side, either Pro-ban or Anti-ban .
Written debate students will choose a specific role related to their Pro-ban or anti-ban assignment (based on the last digit of their student number). Oral debate students have been given specific roles by the T.A. debate moderators.
All students (written debate format and oral debate format) will complete an introductory written assignment worth 5 points. Instructions are given below:

Guidelines for Philosophy 1301 Research Essays
Theme:
The research paper should focus on the philosophical contributions of an individual in the Western tradition. For this research paper, choose an individual from Socrates to the 1950’s C.E. This individual should not include religious figures although some scientific individuals may be appropriate in the period when science and philosophy were fused.
Although some biographical information should be included at the beginning of the essay, it should not be the focus of the paper. Instead, analyze one or two of the individuals major ideas/works and assess his/her contribution to the philosophical tradition and their impact today. You will need to access the library for databases and books to complete this assignment. You can do this online through the library guide for philosophy. I would expect to see at least 5 quality sources including background research and specialized research relating to your thesis. Sources should be a combination of scholarly books and articles. Any websites used must be scholarly or authoritative.
