Greed is...

I gave you enough hints, didn't I?  You will be writing about Greed.

Think - Research - Formulate - Research - Organize - Write - Proofread - Submit.

Prove to your community (family, friends, neighbors, enemies, etc.) that GREED is either good or bad in a well-written essay.  Do not worry about length (although keeping it around 500 words would be nice).   Make no "I" statements (me, my, we, us, you, I, etc.).  Instead of writing, "I think..." just write out what you think.  Keep run-ons and comma use to an absolute minimum while avoiding contractions ('s, 'nt) whenever possible - write it out.  Be simple, yet precise.  You can redefine the terms if you'd like, or you can use a dictionary definition for greed, good, and bad.  You should read some other viewpoints online, including one from a religious perspective, Gekko's speech you will see in class today (hopefully), a long WSJ commentary defending Wall Street Executive Pay, a different view of the same issue, Stossel's short commentary (based on his video segment we watched in class), an ABC commentary opposing Stossel, and/or a harsher criticism of Stossel.  No matter what, avoid Phil for Humanity since it is the first thing that pops up when googling.  I encourage you to copy & paste - but cite your sources (use endnotes - put a # in parentheses and then list your numbers at the end with a URL next to it)!  When you have finished, submit it to turnitin.  NO EXTENSIONS.  You have until the end of class today.  Take 15 minutes to research and read while formulating your idea(s).  Use 30 minutes to organize, write, and proof your essay - and maybe find one more great supporting statement.  Use the last five minutes to add a catchy title and make sure you submit your paper.  GO!!!
