Assignment 1. Take a Stand: Write a CEEC paragraph responding to the following prompt. Try to draw on empirical or logical evidence in your paragraph. If you are aware of unjust treatment under the law, is it your personal responsibility to stand up against it until it is completely fixed, or does there come a time when it’s appropriate for you to stand down? 2. Refine Your Position: Read and annotate “On Women’s Right to Vote” (pp. 151-152). Evidence provided here is mostly LOGICAL. There will be two additional texts with EMPIRICAL evidence provided tomorrow. This is not a question about Women’s Rights. Rather, Women’s Rights is the case study we’re using to expand on the question.
