Note: Write a 300-500 word essay on Topic F below. On-line composition of these essays is not recommended. There are two options for electronic submission of the essay:
Topic F Explain a belief you accepted at some time in your life but have rejected on the basis of a rational process. Perhaps the change was initiated by something you heard or some experience you have had; but for this essay you must go beyond reporting what you heard or describing what happened to you. You must display the process of reasoning that carried you to your new belief. In your essay, be careful to explain the belief itself, reasons you had for holding it, and, most important, the rational process that led you to reject it.
