1.) Yes I should use this source. It helps explain that our society has replaced a full figured woman’s body with one that is very thin, to the point where it is unhealthy and unrealistic.
2.) I think that the audience will find it persuasive because it goes to show that the world has changed a lot in the ways it portrays images in the media.
3.) It could maybe be looked at as lacking credibility because it is from 2009 but I feel that it is still a very good source used in my paper.

<http://www.d.umn.edu/~jvaleri/dissatisfaction%20with%20bodies.htm>.

 1.) Yes this should be used in my paper because it reiterates the point that things in the media have changed in our society over the years  which in turn has changed the ways in which girls have viewed images and their figure/diet.

2.) I think that the audience will find it good for the paper, because it helps to emphasize the ways in which things have changed and what affect this has on teenage girls.

 1.) Yes I should use this for my paper. It helps to show reasons why teenagers think or feel the ways they do (such as the Social Learning Theory). This helps to emphasize why teens are generally more greatly affected by the media’s images.  

2.) The audience will find this persuasive because it backs up why I am using teenagers in my paper and explains why they are more strongly affected.

3.)  I think that it has a strong amount of credibility because it supports what it is saying with many other sources and is really well put together.

1.) Yes, this source should be in my paper. It is one of the documents that I used in the 2syn paper that I wrote and explains what crash diets are and why they are used more today.

2.)  I think that the audience will find this source credible because it explains what problems regarding a person’s health can be affected and how this harms a person’s health.

1.)    Yes this source should be used in my paper. I think that it is a reliable source because it helps to point out how Victoria’s Secret affects a lot of the younger aged people in our world.

2.)    I think that the audience would find this source useful because it shows the negative affect the Victoria’s Secret Company has on teenage girls.

3.)    I think that it has a good credibility because it was from 2011 and it seemed to be professionally set up.

1.) Yes, this source should be used in my paper. It gives many useful statistics on teenagers dealing with facts pertaining to their health, such as eating disorders, and being happy or satisfied with their image.

2.) I think that the reader would find this source valid because it backs up its statistics with research and helps show in my paper why the images that media continues to promote are affecting our society in a negative way.

 1.) Yes this source should be used. I think that it is important because it talks about crash dieting more in depth and why it is bad for a person to go on. It also explains how other diets like anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating are also linked to it.

2.) I think that the reader would agree that this is good for the paper because it helps back up why the diets that these young girls are attempting to go on are so bad for them.

3.) I think that it is credible because it is only a year old and it talks about the bad side effects of intense diets.

1.) Yes, this is a source that should be used in my paper. It helps my paper to begin and shines a light on my topic on media and its affect on teenage girls. It emphasizes the point that girls are displayed as eye candy in today’s generation.

2.) I think that this will catch the reader’s attention and that they will find it useful to point out that females are looked at differently because of the media.

3.)  I think that it is credible because it has resources to back up what it is saying.

 1.) Yes, this source should be used. It explains a major part of my paper which talks about how intense Victoria’s Secret models must be with their diets during the weeks leading up to the annual fashion show.

2.) This helps the readers realize how far models will go to achieve the ‘perfect’ image. It shows why this is unhealthy and unrealistic for teenagers to achieve.

3.) I think that it is credible because it was stated that Lima herself provided the journalist with the information regarding her diet leading up to the show.
