- Some other way you see the philosophy applicable in the field of public safety
- This component may or may not be the same type listed above for all of the philosophies
- This might be:
- Your paper should:
- be 4-7 pages long not including cover page or works cited page
- be Double spaced

- You should not get bogged down in trying to find every philosopher whose work could be categorized as fitting into one of the three frameworks.

For virtue ethic, you can (but don’t have to) confine your discussion to the Greek philosopher(s).
