Second, write a 3-4 page double spaced paper using the following guidelines and criteria. Imagine that your purpose in writing this piece is to summarize and explain the findings, meaning, significance, and implications of this article for someone that you are talking to in a social setting, such as a reception or party, and assume that this person is not a scientist. In your paper, be sure to:
* State the general topic of the article and summarize the article in your own words. State the title and author of the article. Identify the source and include the appropriate and complete reference or citation for the original article/report.
* Point out how the article relates to the material covered in class; discuss the issues of the article in the context of the material covered in class.
