Reads like a school essay.

Having taught at a university, I can say I'd have been thrilled to get an essay this good from any of my students. My main quibble is that the final paragraph gives the impression of being a conclusion, when it is not. Also, the topics probably should have been covered in at least chronological order, rather than random order.

What courses did you teach? Even in the intro-level philosophy classes at my university I would be shocked if this got above a C.

I've taught classes like that as well. :-(
