Paper For Above instruction

The topic of your opinion piece should focus on one of three pressing issues: the healthcare system, climate change, or the national debt. Your task is to develop a thoughtful opinion supported by credible sources. To do so effectively, identify two reputable articles on your chosen issue. First, assess the reliability of each article by examining the credibility of the authors, publication sources, and the evidence provided. For example, peer-reviewed journal articles or reports from recognized institutions are generally reliable, whereas opinion pieces or sources with evident biases may require careful scrutiny. Evaluate whether the authors possess expertise or credentials in the topic area, and whether their arguments are supported by data or factual evidence. Subsequently, reflect on whether reading these articles has influenced or altered your initial opinion on the topic. Explain the reasons for any change or reinforcement of your views, referencing specific points from the articles. Proper citation of these sources must be included to validate your discussion. This exercise aims to sharpen your critical thinking skills in evaluating information sources and understanding their impact on your perspectives regarding complex societal issues.
