Post 12: Option 1 -- Nietzsche Post:
Key Ideas: Read all 10 of the Nietzsche quotes. In your own words, briefly explain what he sees as the problem in terms of morality and then the potential solution (the quotes you read are broken up into problem then solution). (One paragraph)
Your Thoughts: Next, choose your favorite 2 quotes from the 10 Nietzsche quotes offered in this lesson plan, briefly state what they are about and then explain how they made you think differently in terms of ethics or inspire you. Offer personal insight, examples, and depth.

Post 12: Option 2 -- Atheism Post:
Key Ideas: Briefly discuss what are the positions of each of the Four Horsemen: Dawkins, Hitchens, Dennett and Harris (draw from articles and films)?
Your Thoughts: What do you think now having studied this topic in this class? Do we need religion to be moral? Does religion lead to immorality as some suggest? Articulate your view having completing all of the readings and film.

Post 12: Option 3 -- Be Creative and Analytical
This semester for some of the posts I am allowing students to create their own interesting post question and answer as an alternative to the one(s) I offer. Make sure to incorporate material from the readings and films into it to earn credit and make sure, if possible, to write it up following the same pattern: Key Ideas; Your Thoughts.
This is the last lesson plan post for this term ...Yippie!
