Why has it been controversial to assert the inherent dignity and equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family? (UDHR, preamble).
Write a MA level 5000 word essay illustrating your analytical abilities, using one of the questions from the list below. Care should be taken to answer the question as it is set, and no amendment should be made to the format of the question.
Students need to ensure that all essays conform to the style guide as set out below and consistently use of the Harvard and Footnotes form of referencing as detailed in Appendix A of the Course Handbook. Essays that do not conform to the guidelines will have marks deducted, because the essay will have failed to meet the standard of presentation required of academic work.
The word count DOES NOT include the bibliography or citations/references in the text (Harvard Style referencing) or in footnotes or endnotes (Chicago Style referencing). ANY OTHER INFORMATION INCLUDED IN A FOOTNOTE OR ENDNOTE OTHER THAN A REFERENCE OR CITATION WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE WORD COUNT.
Essays submitted with one or more of the following will be penalized:
an incomplete bibliography;
incomplete citations without including page number(s); and
web-page citations without the full address and date when accessed.
Students must also demonstrate their familiarity with, and understanding of, at least some of the material recommended on module reading lists. Students do not have to use this material exclusively, but if you submit an essay that does not draw on any, or only very little of the reading list material it risks failing to properly engage with the relevant academic literature and debates in the topic. This is likely to affect the quality of the essay and consequently the mark awarded to it.
General Format of Assessed Essays and Guidelines for Submission
Type should be:
Font – Times New Roman, 12 point, justified;
Double spaced throughout except for indented quotations, endnotes or footnotes and bibliography;
Pages should be numbered consecutively, centered bottom
