Read and summarize a current (August 1, 2019 or later) United States Internet newspaper article relating to a business issue facing the United States. DO NOT USE AN EDITORIAL OR OPINION PIECE. DO NOT USE A BLOG POSTING. Check the URL. If it has “blog” or “opinion” or “editorial” in the address, you cannot use the article. The Internet link to the article must be submitted along with the typed summary

There are three parts to this assignment; therefore, I should see at least three separate paragraphs with a minimum of 5 sentences for each paragraph:

A summary of the article that shows that you understand the article. This summary should highlight the main points.
A paragraph that relates the article to at least one business topic/concept being covered in the class. Be specific. Give the topic/concept and explain how the article relates to or is an example of that principle.
Your conclusion/opinion/evaluation regarding the points covered in the article. (i.e. Is this a good thing? a bad thing? for whom? why?)
No summaries will be accepted after the due date. Summaries must be submitted through the “Assignments” tool of the course on CANVAS. All papers must be written in your own words. Any words that are written exactly as in the article must be in quotation marks. Any papers that use direct wording from the article, without using quotation marks, will receive no points.
