A paper with problems. A sample bad paper!

No CMU student would do a paper this bad. This is a supremely bad paper. (Caused by the evil demon perhaps.)

Again, the assignment.

According to Descartes, even if we don't know that the external world, the world outside our minds, exists, still we know the contexts of our own minds. Explain briefly his argument for this claim.

Then take up this further point.

Explain how Descartes' skeptical analysis leads to this starting point, indicating the steps of his analysis in the first Meditation.

The paper begins.

Descarte was a Catholice, who lived in the seventeenth century, first in Holland,
then in Sweden where he died. The story of why he died is pretty interesting. He
was interested in physics and physiology but not in history or poetry. Descartes
was a skeptic, but he believed that the mind existed. And he thought that God
exists and that the mind was linked to the bodie. He had a big influence on
philosophy, and his ideas about things were very different from Plato's. He lived
before Rousseau or John Rawls. And was not interested in political philosophy.

And that reminds me, I want to talk about the external world. It exists. So does
the mind. But Descarte is a skeptic. He didn't think his mind existed. I think he
wuz wrong. But he was right about the body. Its linked to the mind. Let me tell
you some things about the mind/body relation. And I want to talk a bit about
Descarte's account of the imagination. And if there's space, I wante to discuss
the problems about his argument for God's existence.

Enough!

There are spelling problems
And writing problems
     The last sentence is not a proper sentence.
And
This paper digresses. It takes too long to get to the theme. What is says is true
but irrelevant.
The assignment involves the lst and 2nd Medications.
This paper brings in irrelevant concerns-the argument for God; the mind-body
problem as discussed in the 6th Meditation.
Why the discussion of Plato?
And why mention Rousseau and Rawls

There is no argument, just statement of opinion.
The order is completely unclear.

Back to the drawing board.
