FYW-1300 Politics and the Good Life

FYW (First Year Writing)
What is happiness? What is good citizenship? Are the two compatible? “Happiness Persuasion and Politics” will introduce students to these basic questions of human life and political philosophy. It will also introduce them to the practice of college-level writing using an approach derived from classical rhetoric. Classical rhetoric raises many of the most basic questions writers face in every context; our exploration of it will help prepare students to write well across the disciplines. 4
