Practical 7
Website 1
During my evaluation of this article, I felt that the article hosted on this website was of a higher standard than any website I have seen. This article introduces different policies adopted by US, and is good for referencing for solutions. And during the evaluation, I found out that the article was last updated on October 2000, which I felt it not be up to currency. But even though it may not be up to currency, the policies may not have change so much. During the evaluation, the article has been certified by the NIAAA, which is an organization website, and if the article is not accurate, NIAAA would have taken it down, thus I believe that if the policies are not up to date, the NIAAA will have taken it down or marked it as not a reputable source.
Website 2
When I evaluated this website, this website provides information on statistic for “Alcohol and Youth Facts”. This website although short, but it contains the statistics that can be use to back the claims of alcoholism among youths. Although no published date was seen in the article, from the reference, we can see that the last statistic was obtained on April 2005, thus these statistics are still valid till now. And when I was answering the evaluation template, I felt that this website was good, but I was not able to explain well in the template as this website mainly is on statistics and not data for referencing, thus I was not able to write a lot on describing the website for the 8 values.
Website 3
This website is also on statistics, which is to find out if alcohol advertising affects the youth in prompting them to consume alcohol. I wanted to evaluate this website is because I want to write my report in another direction, different from the usual, thinking in a broad direction. This article shown not much biasness, as it retrieves and displayed the statistics from the references that the organization has retrieved. Thus if there is any biasness, it would have to be the references, but upon accounting that if the statistics are not right, this organization website will not have even wanted to publish them as this could tarnish their reputation since they are from Georgetown University. And since this website is also on statistics, some of the template’s question, I was not able to answer it well, as there are not much information in the webpage.
