The topic of this research paper is about Epicurus and his role in ancient Greece. This task had to be done individually. In this research paper I had to do many things. First I had to get my philosopher's sources. I had to get two physical sources and at least one Internet source. Then when I had my sources, I had to write a 2-3 page research paper on philosophy and the role it played in Ancient Greece as it relates to the value of individuals and the role government should play in society. It took two days to research and a week to write the essay. The critical thinking skills I learned were about purpose, question, information, inference, concepts, hypotheses, implications, and point of view. I like information more because in any kind of problem, you have to use information because without information you can't prove your point, you have to need evidence to support your statement. In this assignment, I needed a purpose and a key question to complete this assignment. The purpose of this assignment was to create a research paper on philosophy and I had to explain how it played a role in ancient Greece. I had to explain the philosopher assigned to me who was Epicurus and I had to discuss what he thought about the government and what it teaches the people of ancient Greece. The key issue is to carefully write an organized essay with multiple sources. I had to get two physical sources and at least one source from the Internet. In every quote I had to explain or paraphrase that quote and that shows clarity. Then, when I was done with the internal citations, I had to develop a works cited page with all the sources I used in my research paper. This shows that I used accuracy and precision because I used the sources......middle of paper......I would live in peace. This is significant because without a philosopher the world will feel defeated and no one would have progress and the best form of government to live in. The most challenging part of this assignment was finding evidence about Epicurus' beliefs. The least challenging part of this assignment was typing the research paper. If I had the opportunity to do it again, I would want a different philosopher to write. I actually like the topic of this assignment because some of the philosophies studied in ancient Greece are used today. This assignment relates to the real world because some of the philosophies that philosophers study now came from ancient Greece. In my opinion, I think that opinion is the best critical thinking skill because in any kind of situation you have to use information to support your argument.
