Internet websites can be used for entertainment and research. When using websites for research it is important to make sure it is a reliable source. There are different features that can be reviewed to check the reliability of the websites. Researching the author, source, content and accuracy of the website is most important to determine if it could be used as a creditable resource. Three websites I chose to assess are sites created by the Teaching for Change organization, The National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty and the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network. I assessed these websites based on the author, source, content, objectivity, accuracy, audience, and design.

    Each year, a pool of thousands of homeless youth get commonly overlooked and misjudged throughout the United States. “In the 2013-2014 school year alone, it was reported that there were approximately 1.3 million homeless youth enrolled in the public-school system” (United States). Despite the enormous number of children homelessness affects, the public eye remains ignorant on the topic. Some people try to go blind to the number while others decide to look down upon those it hurts, rather than assessing and improving the situation. Until society gains knowledge of both the causes and effects these adolescents face daily, the ever-growing epidemic will continue to show no signs of improvement.

    1003 Words  | 5 Pages

    In today's diverse and multicultural societies, an understanding of what social justice is might be considered pivotal and essential for the numerous encounters and relationships that every day take place in the world.
