After reading the attached article, your job is to provide a very brief summary, analysis, and evaluation. We can define these important concepts as follows:

• Summary- A formal, logical, consistent way of highlighting the main points.
  • Purpose:
    • In school - to quickly and accurately describe something you have read

    • In personal life - to reflect as accurately as possible on people, events, and one's memories of them.
• Analysis- A taking apart of something to show its parts or pieces, often using a special system, theory, or set of theories.
  • Purpose:
    • In school - to think more about a subject and/or to apply the methods of an academic discipline to a specific text
    • In professional life - to apply a system or idea to a specific situation so that others understand how to use something
    • In personal life - to examine one's own thoughts, actions, and motives logically and consistently from a variety of perspectives.
• Evaluation- A judgment of the value of a text to society or the quality of the way it is argued or organized.
  • Purpose:
    • In school - to show how well or poorly something has been done, or its effects on others beyond its main ideas
    • In professional life - to help decide who to hire, how well people are doing, and the quality and style of your own work
    • In personal life - to look not so much at the contents of one's own thinking and acting, but rather at the quality and value of that thinking and acting.
