solved At the end of Book 1 of the Republic, Plato,

At the end of Book 1 of the Republic, Plato, in the voice of Socrates, argues that “justice is a kind of harmony.” Explain how Plato arrives at his conclusion that justice is a kind of harmony (using Book 1) and explain how he defends his view (using Book 2). Next, contrast Aristotle’s view of community and justice with that of Plato’s (hint: you may want to focus on the later books of the Nicomachean Ethics in which Aristotle discuss kinds of friendship and bonds in a community). Finally, explain which position Plato’s or Aristotle’s is more convincing. Defend your conclusion. Your paper should be 4-5 full pages double-spaced, normal margins. (Your name on the paper is all that is required since you will be submitting it electronically.) You do not need a lengthy header since your name is associated with the submission link; do not include a lengthy header at the top of the first page. Please consult the syllabus for additional paper requirements and for the grading rubric for assigned papers in the course, especially what constitutes plagiarism. LATE PAPERS will not be accepted. Papers are due Monday, October 11th by midnight. To submit the paper, go to the Course Content section of Blackboard and upload an appropriate file (.doc or .pdf) via TurnItIn Assignments Paper 1 link. Note: extensive use of secondary sources in your paper is discouraged and will result in a lower grade. Engagement and analysis of the primary texts (i.e. the pdfs provided for free by the course) is expected in the paper. Citing lengthy primary text quotes without thorough explanation does not consitute engagement with the text. Additionally, papers will be checked for plagiarism. It is your responsibility to make sure your paper is free of copied and improperly cited material. Citation of the primary text does not have to follow rigorously the MLA or Chicago standards, since the readings were provided as free pdfs. For example, you can cite a passage with the (author, page number) format. Finally, there will be an Argumentation video posted in the Course Content section of the Blackboard, which explains how to construct an argument. Your paper should be written following its guidance; you should have a thesis which you propose and defend with logic/analysis in your paper.
