https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=x5GFB5NjfYw<\/a><\/p>\nBased on this clip, please do the following. <\/span>Write a mini dialogue between Descartes and Damasio, formatted like an interview.<\/strong> <\/span>Damasio plays the role of the interviewer (and challenger) and Descartes is the special guest.<\/p>\nYou can skip the \u2018welcome\u2019 part and <\/span>begin with Descartes<\/b> <\/span>giving his opening statement in which he introduces and spells out his notion of the \u201cthinking thing.\u201d (For example, Descartes could start by saying \u201cThank you for having me. Well, let me get right to the heart of the matter and \u2026\u201d or something like that.)
Then comes Damasio<\/b> <\/span>putting critical pressure on a particular detail or details in Descartes\u2019 account. In formulating Damasio\u2019s challenge, you should draw on the provided clip.
After that, <\/span>Descartes gets a chance to reply<\/b>.
Spend one paragraph on each speaker\u2019s turn (i.e., 3 paragraphs for this part).<\/p>\nYou don\u2019t have to use direct quotations for the two parties. Paraphrasing will be more efficient. Yet, when you let Descartes speak, please provide a page reference in parenthesis to indicate which passage in our assigned Descartes reading you are drawing from. Similarly, when you let Damasio speak, please provide a time marker in parenthesis to indicate your reference. For example: (Clip, 10:32). I picked this time randomly, just to illustrate. Overall, your essay should contain at least two page references for Descartes, and two time markers for Damasio.<\/b><\/p>\n
Conclude with a \u201cviewer\u2019s response\u201d<\/b> <\/span>(1 paragraph) in your own voice, in which you briefly state what stood out to you as the most important factor (detail, observation, finding) and why this makes you lean more toward Descartes\u2019 or Damasio\u2019s side.<\/p>\nSo the overall structure is:
Descartes\u2019 opening statement (1 paragraph)
Damasio\u2019s criticism\/challenge (1 paragraph)
Descartes\u2019 reply (1 paragraph)
Your viewer\u2019s response (1 paragraph)<\/p>\n
Format:
Expected total length: 4 paragraphs (min. 400 words; max. 600 words), typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman, size 12. At the top left, write the basic course information and your name. No separate cover page necessary. Please include a word count at the end, or points may be taken off. In your word count, only include the text of the interview you composed (not the instructions or prompt). Simply write \u201cWords: ###\u201d beneath your text. Title \u201cDescartes and Damasio,\u201d you can choose your own subtitle.<\/p>\n
