Evaluation arguments

1. In the chapter it talks about category. In an evualtion  essay there is a category that is given. The criteria is what you use to support the category and what you go off of. There is a process I criteria that is explained in the book that you follow. For example if I have food as a category, the criteria has to be specific like a specific category like Mexican food. Then you need to think about the purpose of this type of food like it should be spicy or it always has salsa with the food.

2. One show that I used to watch was "Pretty Little Liars."  The specific category it would go in would be drama because it has a lot of drama in it. Then the purpose of this show is too entertain people who are watching it and telling people it's not good to lie because there is always consequences.

3. The weight of a criteria means that you have to equal out the weight of things and base it on the category. For e


xample with the tv show I explained earlier there could be another show that was less entertaining but showed that lying is very wrong and to never do it. So then you would have to pick the best choice.

4. A categorical evaluation is more based on common ideas and not as personal. An ethical evaluation is based on moral and the rights you believe in.

5. I think that in Christopher Moore's essay is he is using ethical evaluation because he's talking about his right about the newspapers and what he thinks personally about them. He in each paragraph he does have a category like how he says the satires point out absurdities and then he explains his purpose based on his ethical views.

6.  I think this essay is a multi-sided argue meant because he talks about other view like how college students don't read the news an he is trying to explain why they should read and listen to it. He is responding to their objections and that's what a multi-sided argument is.

7. One opposing view he has is about how inconsistent news reports can be. I think that he is refuting it because some people believe all the news they are, but a lot if times it's not.he is doubting what people are saying so that means he is refitting it.
