Draft on Analysis of Articles
First, critically analyse the literature review of the articles and look if the articles have a clear structure and whether the authors of the different articles provide sufficient evidence supported by facts and additional research.
Second, look if the various authors of the articles have presented their arguments and counter-arguments with logical reasoning. Identify if the authors have opposite opinions that aim at persuading readers that their arguments are most logically reasoned.
Three, try to identify the emotions that are steered by the different articles with regards to whether or not the globe is facing a water scarcity problem and whether or not their notion of peak water is a fallacy like a peak oil notion.
Conclude by identifying which article is most logically reasoned and argued and which is least reasonably argued and reasoned while giving reasons to support my position.
