Description
Your argument analysis should be clearly expressed in essay form. I am asking you to evaluate the argument presented in the editorial you choose, indicating what its conclusion and major premises are, how logically strong/adequate you think it is, and how relevant and acceptable its premises are. If this is applicable, please also indicate how you think the argument could be improved (for instance does it have missing premises? Does it use an irrational technique of persuasion?) Make sure you use the concepts discussed in class to analyze your argument. For instance, does it involve moral reasoning? Does it use irrational techniques of persuasion? Commit any fallacies? You do not need to do original research to evaluate the argument you choose but should indicate what information a researcher who was following up on your argument analysis would need to collect to determine the acceptability of the premises and from what kind of sources.
