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). |
Even though people have thought Teen Mom has been protrayed as glamorized it has " teen pregnancy dropped about 40 percent" (POV). |
People believe the show doesn't teach teens anything but "It just shows this could happen to you" (POV). |
When people have to say Teen Mom isn't showing the issues but showing fame as Kramer said "To say that these shows are glorifying teen pregnancy is like saying The Biggest Loser is glorifying obesity" (POV). |
Not only did the show tell teen girls what can happen but also teen fathers ""It showed me I'd need to be there for my son" as Miguel Tostado has said. (POV). |
Teen Mom does protray a great way of how your life can just change in a instant " the sacrifices teen moms had to make — things like the prom, parties and just hanging out that are no longer feasible" (POV). |
Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION):
The article brings how Teen Mom is protrayed and a positive meaning of why the show is even on televison knowing all the negativity. The sources were talking to people who then realized that they need to be a good parent or how much work their is for being pregnant at a young age because of shows like Teen Mom.
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?
Karen Grigsby Bates is the author of this 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?
Having to talk about what's "in" gossip and such this article still exams the importance of the show and the meaning of it.
Bias: Do you detect a bias (a favoring of either side) in the author's writing?
Their is a bias towards writing the positive side of Teen Mom.
References: Does the author cite references in the writing? If so, do these add or take away from the credibility?
The author does cite references in her writing and it doesn't take away from the credibility because it helps with the facts of Teen Mom.
Use of Source: How will you use this source in your project?
I will use this source in my project by explaining some of the positive ideas of Teen Mom and how it's a great way of showing teens some of the problems they can go through if they become parents at a early age.
