Capstone Essay
A capstone essay is a representation of the knowledge you gained in Issues and Ethics. It is an opportunity to explore what you have learned using your own creativity. This means there is not one way to construct a capstone essay, because it is about you as an individual. This past year we have read three major pieces of literature that have raised questions about morals and ethics by considering the worst of humanity; however, despite many of the characters in these literary works diving deep into moral depravity, we are capable as humans of putting ourselves in their shoes. In doing so, we consider how these characters' stories, struggles, failures and redemptions might change our own ideas of morals and ethics. Construct an essay in which you consider societal and individual moral and ethics through the literary works Frankenstein, Antigone and The Kite Runner as well as any topics we have studied within the Social Studies discipline.
