*Instructions:

Should we accept the doctrine that “the end justifies the means”?

*4 Questions that need to be answered:

1) Should this be unconditional?

2) Can this be situational, such as with war vs. peace?

3) What consequences might arise from following, or not following, this political axiom?

4) Give examples to justify your position.

Requirements:

*Write a formal two to three page essay, complete with citations from at least two outside academic sources to support your findings.

*Cite these on a separate page at the end of the essay and include a title page at the beginning.

NOTE: Based on the outcome of this paper, my goal is to continue with the same writer for the duration of this 8 week class. I have a 4.0 GPA so standards are high =)
