5 page essay
PLEASE USE THE READINGS ATTACHED BELOW TO WRITE THIS ASSAY.
In “The Neurology of Free Will,” Charles Duhigg shares the story of Angie Bachmann and her court case against Harrah’s Casino. Duhigg uses Bachmann’s story, along with intersecting narratives and relevant research, to question whether addiction is a choice. Ultimately, Duhigg asks us to reflect on how much personal responsibility addicts like Bachmann bear for their habits. The subsequent articles in the unit (Slater, Schaler, Halpern) provide additional perspectives about addiction, and they offer valuable information that we can connect to Duhigg’s inquiries.
- In an argumentative essay that draws from the articles in our unit, answer the following question: To what degree should Angie Bachmann be held accountable for her debts? Explain your position.
