Option 1

[edit]
Article title
Social media and the effects on American adolescents
Article Evaluation
I felt that this article was too reliant on other research no that and it should leave more room for more of its own explanations. It does however, do a good job in explaining what happens in each example of the studies.

ISSN 2168-622X

Option 2

[edit]
Article title
Muted group theory
Article Evaluation
This article is well-organized and fairly attempted to stay neutral but some of its verbiage was confusing. If I were to add unto this article, sports could be applied to this theory as well.

Option 3

[edit]
Article title
Problematic social media use
Article Evaluation
I found it interesting about adding a somewhat recent case to the article. Had subsections so it was organized and navigating was simple. It could be more specific with the social media apps used.

Option 4

[edit]
Article title
Third-person effect
Article Evaluation
Some of the word choice could be better to look less biased. Pictures with captions and examples would be a great addition before going to the history.

Media Determinism (not an article on Wikipedia yet) (the theory stems from Technological Determinism Theory)
