Write a memo critiquing the following report:

Come Heat and High Water: Climate Risk in the Southeastern U.S. and Texas

Instructions:
For today’s assignment, the take-away from this chapter is that the organization of the document you critique is intentional. The authors structured it in the way they did because of their audiences, their information, and their purposes. Pay attention to what is emphasized via the organization and how it is done. Note if some potential sections seem missing. Have they been dropped because they are not relevant? Have they been folded into other sections to help readers follow key points? Or have they been dropped entirely, perhaps for the authors to downplay something they don’t want to discuss?

Study these pages and topics:
1. Ambiguous pronoun references
2. Active and passive voice
3. Overstuffed sentences
4. Weak verbs
5. Jargon
6. Analogies
7. Biased language
Now that you’ve had a strong dose of style and tone advice, use these points to help you critique what your report authors do. Are they overly technical? Are they precise? Do they write impenetrable sentences or vary sentence length? Does their selection of terms suggest any bias? Note what the authors do well and do poorly. These are the items you will want to discuss in your memo.

What is the connection of your artifact to the lens of the social sciences for determining its impact on various institutions? Utilize evidence from theory and research to support your analysis.

First, review the module resources you have so far encountered, as well as your work in Module One. In addition, it is suggested that you visit the IDS
404 LibGuide for guidance on how to select a topic. Select one example of a popular culture artifact and write a paper that addresses how this artifact fits into
the framework of popular culture, and then addresses how each lens influences perceptions and attitudes toward the artifact, popular culture, and society. The
paper should outline each lens’s impact and framing of the artifact. Be sure to provide a working thesis statement and clear definitions for your key terms.
Specifically, you must address the critical elements listed below.
I. You will compile a series of critical analyses of your popular culture artifact through the four general education lenses: history,
humanities, natural and applied sciences, and social sciences.
A. Using the four lenses, explain how your artifact has or has not influenced modern society.
II. Lens Connections: In this section of your assignment, you will describe the connections between your artifact and each of the four general education lenses.
A. What is the connection of your artifact to the lens of the history for determining its impact on various institutions? Utilize evidence from theory and research to support your analysis.
B. What is the connection of your artifact to the lens of the humanities for determining its impact on various institutions? Utilize evidence from theory and research to support your analysis.
C. What is the connection of your artifact to the lens of natural and applied sciences for determining its impact on various institutions? Utilize evidence from theory and research to support your analysis.
D. What is the connection of your artifact to the lens of the social sciences for determining its impact on various institutions? Utilize evidence from theory and research to support your analysis.
