For this assignment, you are to find and critique an article regarding a current event related to the field of psychology.

Assignment Guidelines:

Take your article from a popular publication such as Time, Newsweek, US News and World Report, etc.

You can look for a story from the APA at http://www.apa.org/news/psycport/, to begin your search.

The article must have been published within the past year.

Do not use an Internet blog, a professional journal, or newspaper article. These sources are likely either too brief or too complex for this assignment.

Look for a thorough article that is written for the general public.

Ensure that your article relates to psychology and one of the subjects covered in the course (If you are not sure, refer to the table of contents of your text).

Explain the conclusions, implications and/or consequences of the article. Paper Requirements:
