D#6, HW#9, Check List

I chose to criticly evaluate the article by Kevin Caruso on suicide and stress.

  • The author mainly supports his paper with opinion based on his point of view.
  • The author offers very little supporting evidence for his claims and more personal opinion.
  • The author provides personal opinion, while it is convincing I am not sure how many people can just up and move when things get stressful.
  • While the evidence is accurate I am not sure how helpful it would be to some people.
  • The author does display bias when he states everyone should get a therapist.
  • The author does a good job of giving examples with his statements.
  • While a little on the bias side the author does give a good balance that not everyone stresses for the same reason.
  • The author does not offer any viewpoint but his own.
  • The author did not include any pictures or charts.
  • While the authors reasons are valid his solutions may not be.
  • The writer does over simplify with his solutions as not everyone can just pick up and move on a moments notice.
