Introduction: To begin your essay, you will formally introduce your chosen real-world topic. As the foundation of your paper, your introduction should engage the audience and establish any necessary background.

overview of the topic. For example, you might consider why the topic is being discussed.
II.
Primary Argument: In this section, you will explore the argument in your Primary Argument Article. The Primary Argument Article is listed on the Final Project Topic and Resources page in the course. You will uncover the logical structure of the argument and examine its bias and credibility.
A. Describe the
argument made by the Primary Argument Article for your chosen topic. Identify at least two premises and the conclusion of the argument. The argument may contain more than two premises.
B. Identify
key facts, research, or resources the argument is based on. Provide specific examples to support your identification.
C. Explain the
logic and reasoning used to advance the argument. In your response, address the following:
· Identify the argument as inductive or deductive, explaining why.
· Assess the argument for its strength and cogency (if inductive) or validity and soundness (if deductive).
· Identify any gaps or weaknesses present.
D. Explain how the argument contains or avoids
bias. Provide specific examples to support your explanation.
E. Assess the
credibility of the overall argument using the Hierarchy of Reliability and CRAAPO. For example, were the resources the argument was built on credible or scholarly? Does this credibility support or undermine the article’s claims in any important ways?
III.
Counterargument: Craft a counter or alternative argument to the argument presented in the Primary Argument Article. You will support this position with the critical thinking skills you’ve learned throughout the course.
Note: Your counterargument is not a reflection of your personal opinion in this matter.
A. Provide the
argument details of your counterargument to the Primary Argument Article. List at least two premises and a conclusion for your created argument. Support your counterargument with evidence using the provided resources for your topic or additional research.
B. Explain the
logic and reasoning used to advance the counterargument. In your response, address the following:
· Identify the argument as inductive or deductive, explaining why.
· Assess the argument for its strength and cogency (if inductive) or validity and soundness (if deductive).
· Identify any gaps or weaknesses requiring additional research or support.
C. Explain how the counterargument contains or avoids
bias. Provide specific examples to support your explanation.
IV.
Application: In this section, you will reflect on the process of critical thinking as it relates to this assignment and make connections to its future application in your everyday life.
A. Describe the process of
critical thinking as you applied it to this assignment. For example, what questions did you ask yourself when analyzing the initial argument? How did you answer these questions? What steps did you take in assessing the argument?
B. Explain how you will apply this process in your
