Write a comparative analysis that critiques how the RA essays noted above address a shared concern or issue. Identify and unpack a meaningful relationship between the two sources claims, ideas, approaches, and/or assumptions, using details from each to support the comparative critical analysis.Note: You must work to incorporate at least 5 new vocabulary terms into your Comparative Critical Analysis essay. These vocabulary terms should come from those listed by you on your Double-Entry note logs for the Model Family unit readings.
