FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): EX: The article cites Maria Nikolajeva, a professor of at Cambridge, as saying that Bella does not "in any way promote independent thinking or personal development" in women, instead portraying a woman "meek and willing to do anything for her vampire boyfriend" (POV). |
This article shows the positive effects show by the social media like "Young adults who spend more time on Facebook are better at showing "virtual empathy" to their online friends". |
Although its shows good positive effects it also shows the bad like "strong Facebook presence show more signs of other psychological disorders". |
It talks about how helps us learn to socialize with a smart phone or a laptop which could be a useful. |
But I like how they show some of the other effects like "negative effect on the health of all children, preteens and teenagers by making them more prone to anxiety, depression". |
It states how the social media has help teens communicate around the world and how its useful for knowledge. |
Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION):
EX: POV brings together information from a Cambridge conference in which professors of literature examine Twilight's effect on teenagers. Many of the sources cited talk about the negative affect on women that the books have had. The writer then turns around and asks the reader to take a poll, which is noted as not being scientific, to see what the general populance thinks on this issue.
The article list some bad and good reasons on why the social media is bad and what we can do to help ourselves or teens.
Credibility of Source:
Author or Site: Who is the author? What training have they had? If there is no author, examine the site. What is the purpose of the site? Who funds the site?
EX for Author: POV is simply a penname for an anonymous author. It stands for Point of View, and the majority of the articles written on the news cite are simply there to ask the opinion of the reader, and rehash someone else's research.
The author is anonymous and i think this looses some of the articles credibility.
EX for Site: CBC News is one of the main news associations in Canada, and the purpose seems to be to bring the news to the people. The articles are meant to inspire discussion, not so much force an opinion.
The website I think just shows the studies people have made and put them into one article.
Attachment: Does the author or site have anything to gain from writing this, or is it simply informative? For example, is it a cigarette business posting an article about the benefit of cigarettes, or is it a scientific community unaffiliated with the cigarette business?
EX: Other than keeping a job with the Canadian News, it seems the variety of articles displays a lack of attachment.
I think they dont have anything to gain because they show they have researched their work.
Bias: Do you detect a bias (a favoring of either side) in the author's writing?
EX: There is a slight bias in the fact that only the negative effects of Twilight are mentioned, not the positive.
I dont really detect any bias because they state the good and bad things our Facebook.
References: Does the author cite references in the writing? If so, do these add or take away from the credibility?
EX: The author uses Cambridge professors in his/her argument, making it stronger, as they are professors of literature.
I would take away some credibility from the article because it does not state an author.
Use of Source: How will you use this source in your project?
EX: I plan to use this source to support my opinion that Twilight has a negative effect on teenagers, and also use it as a jumping off point for other sources, as it has a link to an MSNBC article about this issue.
I am going to use these examples on how Facebook and other social medias can help and hurt the teenagers.
