What criterion does one use to evaluate something correctly? What judgments are put in place that require a non-bias assessment?

Whether it be the evaluation of literature, music, film, sports, art, and/or television, evaluation of ones world is crucial not only to the critical thinking development of the student, but to real world problem solving. In an essay you evaluate at least two different works within the same genre, and evaluate their importance in society today. You will also pick at least one work within that category that does NOT meet your criteria, and inform the reader why it does not meet your standard of excellence. Overall, you will be evaluating at least three items from one micro genre from the list above or of your own choosing. Example: You will be evaluating what makes good contemporary Christmas music. Your thesis should consist of the criteria that you are basing your decision on, your claim (importance/judgment), and (at least) two examples of good contemporary Christmas music and one example that does not fit your criteria and why. REMEMBER you must specify what micro-genre you are evaluating. Example: You will not write your criteria for what makes a great film, but what makes a great action film from the 1980s. You will not write your criteria for what makes a great work of art, but a great modern work of art from the 1960s. You will not only research the works you choose, but you will also need to research whatever criteria you are judging; i.e. the historical context, the author, and the importance and popularity of the time period in which they were produced etc. Questions to consider: What makes this subject important today? Why is this text still considering a good piece of work (or bad)? What makes this new version better than any previous works by a different author? How was the piece produced in such a tumultuous historical period? Since this paper is research based, you should incorporate AT LEAST three to five outside sources not including the three works you are evaluating (so at least eight) in your explanation, and document these sources using MLA style. To reiterate, your work cited page should have around seven to ten sources listed and direct quotes from the work throughout your essay. Note: Brainyquote.com is not an academic source! (Academic sources are .edu, .gov, .net) IF YOU DO NOT CITE YOU WILL NOT BE QUALIFIED! Your audience is made up of members of the college community, experts in the genre you choose, faculty and administers. You will need to not only inform but also persuade your audience of your judgment and criteria using proper rhetorical devices (ethos, pathos, logos). ESSAY WILL NOT BE IN FIRST PERSON! Requirements and formatting: Six to eight double-spaced pages Every paragraph no more then 4-6 sentences. Thesis to be on the end of first paragraph. One-inch margins, 12-point Times New Roman font, proper college heading Reference to and direct quotes from at least three to five sources in addition to quoting from your texts. MLA documentation on a separate work cited page. The essay language should be simple. My English is my second language so, do not use complicated words, just keep it simple. Careful when you select sources, only academic sources please with proper citations.
