Please write a paper - around 3 pages, double-spaced, 12-point font, 3 no more than 1.25" 2. Pick a concrete example of a commodity, a boycott, etc.) and argue that it shows the benefits, or the limitations (or both!) of ethical consumerism, as discussed in the readings for Week 3.

Some argue that private property in land, including the materials that come from it (wood, water, fruit and other edible plants, wild animals, etc.), is not only a man- made invention, but unnatural and unjust, on the grounds that nature existed long before us, and does not come in parceled-out units, but rather, as John Locke points out, is originally "given to people (he says men) "in common by God. Nature doesn't belong to anyone and nothing comes pre-packaged in units that belong to this or that person, and so it is wrong for people to mark any of it off as their own property as opposed to using it in common. Explain Locke's criticism of this argument. Do you agree with his view about the need for private property? Why or why not? Explain, with reference to his argument (i.e. try to stay close to the text and show you understand his argument, whether you agree or not). You may also find it helpful to look over the relevant PowerPoint posted to D2L. 4.

In other words, society is better off when everyone focuses on pursuing their own self-interest. Explain his argument on this point in your own words (again, try to stay close to the text), and then either argue in favor of this view or against it. You may find it easier to do this if you focus on a particular example
