c. The body of the paper, which is the analysis of what makes your article “unethical” as it is applied or intended. NOTE: please make sure you address the article in terms of what’s wrong with the content in the terms of why it is unethical, illegal, or immoral. Do not just write that it was unethical, but why is it unethical to you, as a consumer reading it to assess it usefulness or non-usefulness in your research process. In other words, if you say to me, “I didn’t like and it is unethical!” Okay, why? What is your reasoning on this? What key elements make this article unethical or not-useable for research? Be specific, but limit this analysis to 1-2 pages, 1.5 inch-spacing;
d. Cite your article in APA at the end of the paper.
