Identify the major and supporting claims advanced in the article

Using either an editorial or an op-ed column in The New York Times or other
major daily newspaper as your basic text, you should first analyze the structure and
soundness of the argument and then advance an ethical evaluation of the argument.
Your essay should 1) identify the major and supporting claims advanced in the
article; 2) analyze both the argumentative support for the claims and, if relevant, the
relationship among claims advanced; 3) evaluate the cogency of the main claim advanced
(applying ARG conditions); and 4) evaluate the ethics of both the claim(s) advanced and
the argumentative moves made to advance the claim(s) (ie. ethics relative to both ends
sought and means used).
In your ethical evaluation, you should specify clearly the ethical criteria by
which you are rendering your evaluation and how those criteria are applied. Please
include a copy of the editorial that you analyze with your paper submission
