Question a- Based on their use of evidence ("experts", statistics, logos, and ethos) within the article, do you think the author uses credible evidence to prove her point? (If you think the evidence is weak, explain why and provide ways for her to strengthen her argument).
Question b- How has the author's use of tone (pathos) helped or hindered their argument? Find examples of the author's tone and explain how it supports their argument or undercuts their argument (for example, does their tone make them seem unprofessional, biased, etc.).
Question c- Think about the hidden consequence: If the author is right "that we are socializing young adults for fragility, not resilience. We're telling them that we don't expect them to endure unpleasant feelings such as anxiety, exam stress and feeling overwhelmed, or unpleasant speech that makes them feel bad, or unpleasant experiences such as failure" what else must be true? If Wente is right, what does this mean for society? Do you think it has proven true?
