Write an essay that examines Treatment of Animals in Factory Farms and how it relates to John Stuart Mill and his view of Utilitarianism. If needed, cite any moments/quotes from the movie Food Inc. The movie shows the poor treatment of chickens in blacked-out chicken houses. My question I want the essay to focus on is “do humans enjoyment from a good meal justify the possibly unethical treatment of chickens?”.
Talk about what the author you pick would say about the issue that you are discussing. A successful paper will do the following:
-Contain a well-articulated thesis statement that explains what the paper is about and takes a clear stand on the issues under discussion,
– Provide a clear articulation of the food issue you have chosen (this will require some independent research and collection of data on your part),
-Provide a clear articulation of those aspect of the philosopher’s position that are relevant to your paper,
-Apply the view of the philosopher to the issue at hand and explains what position the chosen philosopher would take on the issue,
-Conclude with your own analysis of the issue and whether or not you think the philosopher you have chosen is correct,
-Properly cite (using MLA or CMS) all sources used in the paper.
-12 point legible font.
