   (10 points) 4B) Then, write a paragraph to analyze and to explain how the author’s thesis supports your own project’s thesis for this class. How does the book address your individual topic, question, and problem of cultural stagnation? How does the source address globalization as a key factor towards cultural stagnation and/or cultural progression? How does this source address your project’s TELOS (purpose; function; framework for this course? In other words, how does the book’s argument support your own argument for this class? 
   
   
5. (10 points) PURPOSE + Emotional Appeal: Is the purpose of this source to: inform, persuade, entertain, sell a product, influence popularity or something else? Who are the intended audience? Does the author provide multiple viewpoints or just their own? Address PATHOS: name a specific emotion (do not address every single type of emotion); how does the author make the intended audience emote successfully; or how does the author fail to evoke effective emotional appeal? 
    
6. (10 points) AUTHORITY: Who wrote, produced, or edited the source? What are the author’s affiliations? Has the author been cited by others? Does author cite others in their field? Avoid self-publications with no Works Cited, nor References, nor Bibliography pages. Address the author’s use of ETHOS (credibility; trustworthiness; moral concerns’ awareness). How does this writer build trust with the audience – did they succeed or fail? Explain. 
   
   
7. (10 points) ACCURACY: Is the information in the source accurate? Can it be verified by more than one other source? Has the source been peer-reviewed by others from their specific field? Address the author’s appeal to LOGOS (logical reasoning; research; consistency). What kind of evidence do they provide to support their claims (identify specific types of varying evidence)? Are there any biases present? Did the writer commit any logical fallacies? Once you name the specific logical fallacy, you must attempt to resolve it; in other words, hypothetically, fix it as a thought experiment, to avoid that error of critical thinking, error of reasoning, error of logic.
