PHIL 351

D. Matthews’s Response to N. Bostrom on Existential Risk (Readings and lectures Week 11)Format: submit a doc, docx, rtf, txt, or pdf file to Turnitin via iLearnLength: 1600-1800 words (include word count at the start of the paper)Due date: If submitted by 05/04: +1.5 Extra credit on course grade If submitted after 05/12: penalty: -0.5/day on essay gradeOverview:Nick Bostrom argues that avoiding existential risk and existential loss should be a global priority. Dylan Matthews responds by stating that Bostrom’s argument relies on a false sense of statistical precision, and by questioning his assumption that people who might exist in the future should be counted equally to people who do exist today. This assignment asks you to present and assess Matthews’s critique, that is, identify the claim and its justifications.Assignment:Compose an essay discussing the following questions:• How would you characterize effective altruism? Are there good reasons to support this view?• According to “existential risk obsessives,” why should effective altruists care about existential risk?• What does Matthews mean when he says, “global poverty is a rounding error”? Is this an accurate characterization of Bostrom’s viewpoint?• Are Matthews’s criticisms of Bostrom’s argument valid and reasonable? Why or why not?Writing and Structural Notes:• It is crucial that you present Bostrom’s argument and Matthews’s criticism.• The presentation of somebody else’s argument should be done in your own words (i.e., not just a quotation), and should be done as clearly and plainly as possible.• Present also your own take on Bostrom’s argument. That is, explain whether or not you agree with it and why: You may agree with a claim but not the justifications given for it. Conversely, you may agree with all the reasons given to support a claim, but not agree that they do in fact support the claim in question.• Be sure to include a proper introduction and conclusion. An introduction should do the following:o Introduce the reader to the problem. That is, explain in general terms what the topic is, what the issue is, and why the reader should care about it.o Introduce the reader to what will be done in the essay: explain briefly what the different parts of the essay will be, that is, provide a roadmapYou do not need to use additional sources.• Cite all sources using both in-text citations and a works cited page.Rubric:• Most important for this assignment is the accurate, fair exposition of Bostrom’s and Matthews’s claims. • Also, important—but to a lesser degree—is your assessment of these claims (particularly of Matthews’s criticism). • Clarity of expression is paramount. Aim to write simple, plain sentences. Avoid technical terms and jargon whenever possible.

Once you graduate and obtain your first job out of your Master of Social Work program, you may be asked to identify the gaps in services at your new agency. You may be asked to create a new group or help to identify a new evidence-based intervention that can be introduced to the clients. Understanding how to research the current literature, and then choose and evaluate an intervention, is an important component of being a successful social worker. For this course, you have researched new and interesting interventions that are currently being used with children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly. Further, you have explored the importance of connecting theory to practice.For this Assignment, use will practice steps in Evidence-Based Practice. 1) You will think of a practice problem. 2) You then conduct a literature review on available research. 3) You will evaluate the evidence to determine which intervention to use. 4) You will consider client values and your clinical expertise. 5) You will think about what you hope the client gains from this intervention (i.e., decreased depression, increased quality of life, decreased PTSD symptoms) and consider how you might measure this change.To prepare:Choose a population of interest to you.ADOLESCENTS,is the population.ChildrenAdolescentsAdultsElderly/AgingChoose a presenting problem (depression, family conflict, homelessness, etc.) related to the population of interest.Conduct a literature review focused on the presenting problem within the population of interest.By Day 7Submit an 8- to 10-page scholarly paper supported with aminimum of sixpeer-reviewed articles as references. In the paper, you should:Briefly describe the population and presenting problem you are focusing on for this assignment.Provide a review of the articles you reviewed from this project and explain what you learned from conducting this research.Briefly describe at least 2 evidence-based interventions currently used for your chosen population when addressing this particular problem. Provide supporting references when explaining the evidence behind the interventions.Explain which of these interventions you might choose to use and why.Consider client values and your clinical expertise and how those might affect your decision of which intervention to use.Describe how you might apply the specific skills and techniques of the chosen intervention.Briefly explain how you could measure the outcomes of this intervention.Explain any cultural considerations that you need to take into account when working with this population or the particular presenting problem.Discuss how the Code of Ethics applies when working with this particular presenting problem and population.Explain how you would apply a trauma-informed lens when working with this population.Support your Final Project with specific references to the resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.The Final Project will be evaluated according to the Final Project Rubric, located below and in the Course Information area.
