You are to select a moral issue you find compelling?capital punishment, pacifism, abortion, what have you?except this one will feature a utilitarian argument about some contemporary moral problem.  Then you are to assess that argument.  Your paper should, then, be structured like this:
a)      Some people grant that capital punishment causes distress and pain to the capital criminal, but say that the criminal has earned his suffering.  This is a deontological argument in favor of c.p.
b)      Here?s what deontology is.  La la la.
c)      Here?s what I think about this deontological justification for capital punishment.  La la la.
