Work together in your workshop groups to answer the following questions about this article:

  • What is the article's main claim? 
  • What are the author's most important reasons presented in support of that claim? Identify at least 3. 
  • Does the author offer any qualifications of his claim? 
  • Can you identify any unstated assumptions that a reader might disagree with? 
  • Is the author's argument convincing? Why or why not?
