Choose a contemporary phenomenon to evaluate—for example, an Internet site (such as Wikipedia), a social networking site (such as Facebook or Twitter), or a reality television program (such as Jersey Shore or MythBusters). Select a phenomenon about which you already have a strong overall judgment and consider the criteria you would use to persuade others to accept your evaluation. Be sure to consider the evidence you could use to support your judgment.
