Summary and critical analysis Write Up post a minimum of one page summary and critical analysis. Summary and critical analysis need to formulate an opinion that focuses on connecting the topic of government into our daily lives… into everything we do…

Write a 10-20 sentence summary that focuses on critically evaluating what is going on, from your personal perspective. Interject your opinion. You should be making a statement, argument, and your personal opinion about the subject matter, should be known. However, this needs to be done in a professional, scholarly and academic manner. Focus on explanation, reason and rationalization, to provide a clear opinion statement and discussion of their personal perspective and political position towards the event or issue in their article.
In addition, to receive full credit, you MUST include a direct link to the original article’s text that they are using to complete this assignment.
Part 2 Rebuttal and Debate you will review summary analyses submissions, made in part 1, and offer a rebuttal to a classmate’s current event analysis, which opposes their own OR agrees. MOST IMPORTANTLY, BE CONSTRUCTIVE in your critiques; and RATIONAL in your explanation of your perspective. Rebuttals must be at least 10 sentences in length.
Remember: This is not a critique of whether the article is good or bad. This assignment is a reasoned opinion of the issue presented and to get you to explore your attitudes/thoughts/beliefs on various topics in the current world. Your opinions are not cast in stone, nor need they be, but you should make an actual commitment on the issue, and keep this commitment throughout the rebuttal.
(I will give the classmates post after)

Scraping using beautiful soup

So this is the links that I need you to scrap. NOT ALL OF THEM.
-For each country you scrap one link.
-some countries has more than on link just in case you find it difficult to scrap from the first link.
-I prefer each country has a different python file. I don’t want the code highly coupled. So if one site crashes or false I don’t want the whole code to crash.
-All of them should be in the same google file.
-I just need you to scrap recent news for every hours. The link should take you directly there.

This the things you need to scrap:

-Local News Outlite
-Country
-Arthur
-Date & Time

Introduction
This week, all the hard work you
have done in researching your topic and issue will come to fruition in
your argumentative paper. Once you feel you have got the final draft,
try to put the paper aside, even for a few hours, and then read it
again.
Did you address at least three aspects of the issue you chose?
Does each aspect have relevant and authoritative evidence in support of your point?
Have you included a view that is in opposition to your viewpoint,
and have you answered that opposing view, pointing out its flaws in such
a way as to refute it?
Edit your paper – look for wordiness, repetition, vagueness,
ambiguities. Check the organization of the paper as a whole; make sure
each paragraph maintains focus. After you are satisfied that the content
of your paper is good, carefully proofread it and correct mechanical
errors.

Here is a brief breakdown of the project so that you can plan your time in the course:

Argumentative Paper (ASSIGNMENT TO BE COMPLETED)

This week, you will complete your
argumentative paper. Following the directions in assigned textbook
reading on how write an argumentative essay on the issue you chose in
Week 1. Be sure your essay contains the following:
An opening paragraph that states a clear thesis that is focused,
plausible, and arguable and that gives direction and purpose to the
paper
A fair-minded, balanced, and objective development of the pros and
cons of the issue in a well-organized sequence of ideas, free of
mechanical errors
Credible, reliable, and authoritative evidence in support of the points made
A strong conclusion that summarizes your views, reminds the audience
of the issue and its importance, and shows in brief that you have
successfully defended your thesis
Note:
As you do your research, it is permissible to change your sources.
Also, because of the recency and relevance of these issues, no sources
older than 5 years should be used other than as historical information.
Critical thinkers do the research first and then side with the
preponderance of evidence. You might want to follow that principle.

Background & recommendation

In a 2018 USA
Today article, Dan Caplinger discusses the sharply rising costs of a
college education:
Over
the past 10 years, the average price for tuition and fees at four-year private
colleges and universities has jumped to $34,740 a year, up more than $7,000,
according to statistics from the College Board. Those costs have outpaced the
rate of inflation by more than 3 percentage points, continuing a troubling trend
that has persisted for decades.
There are a lot
of factors that contribute to the rising costs of higher education, and several
consequences, many of which are unintentional. There is no consensus on either
the nature of the problem, nor how to remedy it. Financial experts, educators,
and politicians have diagnosed the problem and suggested possible solutions for
many years, even as the cost becomes less and less affordable for many
families.

American Families
for Affordable College (AFAC) is a new advocacy group that hopes to pressure
politicians and colleges to find ways to lower the costs of higher education.
For this assignment, you have been hired by AFAC as a consultant charged with
making a recommendation for how to prioritize their agenda. They know that they
cannot fix everything at once, so they have hired you to recommend the best way
to begin lowering the cost of college.

You will select
one major aspect of college costs provide AFAC with a strong sense of how that
debate is discussed. After you have laid out your “they say” focused background
section, you will then make a recommendation for how to begin resolving the issue.
