Assignment - Week 4

Research Critical Analysis of a Journal Article

The purpose of this assignment is to allow you to practice the critical analysis of the contents of research articles. When you identify a research article, you want to begin by assessing whether the source of the article is scholarly and current. Once you have verified these elements, it is important to determine what the researchers were attempting to investigate, how the study was carried out, and what the outcomes were.

For this Assignment, you will critically examine the elements of a scholarly article. Because you will need to choose research articles that represent each type of methodology when you create your Final Project Annotated Bibliography, it is essential for you to understand the contents of a research article.

To Prepare

Review the media programs and blog found in the Learning Resources which will introduce you to the critical elements of a scholarly article, how to identify them, and how to read scholarly articles.
Review the Kenny, M. C., & Winick, C. B. (2000) article found in the Learning Resources. You will use this article to complete this Assignment.
Review the Scholarly Article Content Analysis Preparation Guide, the Scholarly Article Content Analysis Worksheet including the briefcase conceptualization found in the Learning Resources and consider the “client” for any counseling implications. Note: You will use this Worksheet to complete this Assignment.
Assignment

Complete the Scholarly Article Content Analysis Worksheet for the Kenny and Winick (2000) article.
Analyze the contents of the article and apply the findings to the case conceptualization included in the worksheet.
Critically analyze the article and identify all components:
Is the article scholarly?
What is the problem/purpose?
What is(are) the research question(s)?
Who are the participants?
What are the ethical/cultural considerations?
What data /information was collected from participants?
How did the researchers describe the results/answer to the research question?
How does this research apply to the case study?

Required Resources Read/review the following resources for this activity:

Instructions Remember – these journal questions require more thinking than writing. Think about exactly what you are asked to do, and then write as economically as possible.

For this journal assignment, answer each of the following prompts:

Textbook: Chapter 4, 5 Lesson

Important Idea

Critical Thinking

Beliefs

Considering only the Introduction to Chapter 5, in terms of developing critical thinking and reasoning, what do you consider is the most valuable and important idea in that section? You can either summarize or directly quote the text; then, briefly explain why you find this idea important and valuable.

In Chapter 5, the section "Making Arguments" states: "In some ways applying our core critical thinking skills to analysis can be more difficult than offering an evaluative opinion. Analysis, like interpretation, is understanding at a deep level (p. 89)"

What concepts discussed in Chapter 4 might make analysis of a statement difficult – and why?

Why do you believe what you believe? What is your "evidence"? Test one of your beliefs by asking yourself, "Why?" As you answer each "why," go down

7/16/20, 2:12 PM Page 1 of 5

Link: Example of Layers of Why

Suppose your claim is "All people should work to support their children." Here is an example of possible "layers of why" for this claim:

Note

Don't be tempted to skip steps. If you start with layer 5, you have just opened up a whole new line of "whys." For example, why should everyone be afforded an opportunity to reach his or her highest potential? After all, for most of the history of the world, that has not been the case.

another layer – four layers will probably give you a good idea of why you believe what you believe. Your product should show a well-reasoned and logical basis for your belief. Stay away from the big stuff, like believing in God, or who to vote for in the next election, and don't look for sources – this is about what you believe and why you believe it. After all, this is only an 8-week course, and we can't settle everything! Click on the following link for an example of layers of why:

Layer 1: People should work to support their children because it is the right thing to do. Layer 2: It is the right thing to do because it is true that children need to be cared for by adults. Layer 3: I believe my last statement is true because it is an accurate description of what occurs – that is, very small children sicken and die if adults do not care for their needs; older children may exhibit many physical and emotional deficiencies if they are not properly cared for. Layer 4: Reasonable attention to the needs of children is just since children are largely dependent on their parents (who, after all, brought them into the world) for all of their needs during the early years of their lives. Furthermore, such attention leads to a healthy, productive and ordered society in which each individual has an opportunity to achieve his or her highest potential.

Ken Ewert’s article Moral Criticisms of the Market (1989) explores the subject of religion and economics, and rebuts the leftist views of the “Christian Socialists” in regards to the free market system. He does a phenomenal job of breaking down the morality of the free market and examining the traits of selfishness, materialism, impersonalism and individualism, community relationships, economic power, and economic ability to please.

With regards to selfishness, Ewert made a great distinction that a self-directed action can happen in one of two ways: “through mutually beneficial economic exchanges, or through predatory political actions” (1989). This cuts to the core of selfishness in a free market. We have the ability to choose our actions, and selfishness is not a requirement for success. I slightly disagree, however, with his views on materialism. While advertisement does give customers important information about products, it can equally be misleading. A consumer may receive just as much misleading information from an advertisement as sound material. I do agree with Ewert’s (1989) assertion that materialism is a problem of all economic systems, as well as his views on impersonalism and individualism. I worked as a waitress for quite a while, and formed many personal relationships with customers; my tips were better if I had a personal relationship with the customer. A free market definitely doesn’t always encourage impersonalism and individualism, nor does it discourage community relationships. Ewert’s (1989) stance on how economic intervention, not the free market, has actually disintegrated family bond is interesting, and a claim I am not sure I agree with, however I am not able to refute his statements on the subject. Ewert’s (1989) comments about economic power were thought-provoking, as I had never thought much into the subject. He made a great point in that an employee chooses to work for an employer because the benefits, even if seemingly small, outweigh the consequences, such as moving costs and loss of local friendships. The last subject Ewert (1989) touches on is economic ability to please. I agree with everything he says in this section, especially his comments about politicians and the “powerful oppressing the weak” (Ewert, 1989).

Overall, I think Ewert did a fantastic job refuting the claims that “Christian Socialists” make about the free market. His statements assume that people have the ability to delve down into the root of what causes our behaviors and thoughts. God has given us that ability, although sometimes it may be hard to put into practice.
