This assignment is designed to build student's ability to address an opposing argument with supporting evidence. This assignment is not about right or wrong, but about the ability to make a logical argument as a business leader.  

Select a current editorial (column or opinion) on finance (or economics) from newspapers or magazines for your critical reading.  The review should include the author of the editorial, the title of the editorial, article date, media name, summary and your argument (opinion) of the article. You must disagree to the author's argument, not the issue the author delivers.

It is easy to agree to any article because evidence supporting the article has been already provided by the author, but it is hard to disagree unless you have evidence to support your argument. In this critical reading, you must DISAGREE to the author's argument with evidence. The argument must be based on economic/financial principle and/or public information. Biblical principle can be applied and discussed if applicable. 

Students must read an editorial not a report.  Reading a news report or non-editorial article will result in zero credit.
