• Choose one of the themes below, and use it as the title of your paper.
• Your task is to explain Smith’s theory. You should not express your opinion (especially if
choosing questions 6, 7, or 8). Focus on Smith’s logic.
• Use the outlines provided on the Powerpoint slides to help you:
– In your introduction, define and briefly discuss the term you are writing about, before outlining your paper as a whole.
– In your first body paragraph, explain Smith’s premise – sympathy or self-interest (not both). – Then move step-by-step to show how he deduces first, the actions of individuals; second,
social structures and laws; third, broader conclusions about how society operates. – Remember to connect every step of the argument back to Smith’s basic premise.
