Write a paper evaluating an essay in the style of an essay called an evaluation. For an evaluation essay, you will be evaluating your subject’s quality based on a set of criteria that you decide is the basis for your judgment about your subject. Your claim will be making a judgment about value, such as whether or not a product, idea or text is good or bad (or somewhere in-between).
The article to be evaluated is: https://www.ocregister.com/2021/04/22/first-time-homebuyers-are-getting-outbid-by-big-companies/
Please also include this excerpt from the article as it pertains to the current US government policy allowing foreign investors to buy all the homes:
“What policy changes can be made to slow down the large-scale landlord industry? Irvine CPA Marcello Sroka suggests an excise tax. He points to cigarette and alcohol excise taxes as ways to discourage certain behavior. Such a tax would need to hurt enough to discourage them from buying and owning rentals.”
Your paper should include:
Introduction to your subject (including any relevant background info)
Statement of judgement (consider this in terms of value: good, bad, better than, worse than, of merit, worthless)
Three reasons with evidence in support of the judgement
Statement of opposing sides position (opposite – i.e., this is not a good point because…)
Opposing side’s position must be supported by evidence
A counterargument that explains why your evaluative judgement is correct over the opposing side’s position. You should back your counterargument with evidence that refutes the opposing side’s position.
