Write your critique in standard essay form. Begin with an introduction that defines the subject of your critique and your point of view. You will need to identify and explain the author’s ideas. Include specific passages that support your description of the author’s point of view. Offer your own opinion. Explain what you think about the argument. Defend your point of view by raising specific issues or aspects of the argument. Describe several points with which you agree or disagree and include specific passages from the article (you may summarize, quote, or paraphrase) that provide evidence for your point of view. Explain how the passages support your opinion. Conclude your critique by summarizing your argument and re-emphasizing your opinion. Your critique should be at least two full pages in length, using 12-point double-spaced Times Roman font using APA format.

 Unit V Research Paper

Freedom of speech and freedom of the press are two important rights individuals have in the United States. Today, there are so many news outlets featured on the radio, television, cable, and the Internet that are competing for our attention to the degree that some news media emphasize very sensitive and controversial subjects as a means to simply attract an audience. Some individuals criticize this practice as being harmful to society. Yet, others claim it is appropriate to report this type of speech in such a fashion.

Research the topic, Freedom of the Press, and write a research paper that explains your views on freedom of the press and whether this trend toward reporting sensitive topics does or does not have a negative impact on some work environments.

Make sure that your paper has the following components:

Introduction – State your thesis and the purpose of your research paper clearly. What is the chief reason you are writing the paper? State also how you plan to approach your topic. Is this a factual report, a book review, a comparison, or an analysis of a problem? Explain briefly the major points you plan to cover in your paper and why readers should be interested in your topic.

Body – Present your arguments to support your thesis statement. This should be one to three paragraphs in length.

Conclusion – Restate or reword your thesis. Summarize your arguments. Explain why you have come to this particular conclusion.

Your paper should be three to five pages in total length, using 12-point double-spaced Times Roman font using APA format.
