Option 1

 * 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.
 * Sources:[1] Beyens, Ine; Pouwels, J. Loes; van Driel, Irene I.; Keijsers, Loes; Valkenburg, Patti M. (2020-07-01). "The effect of social media on well-being differs from adolescent to adolescent". Scientific Reports. 10 (1): 10763. doi:10.1038/s41598-020-67727-7. ISSN 2045-2322.

ISSN 2168-622X

Option 2

 * 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.
 * Sources: "Breaking the Silence: How Roller Derby Combats Muted Group Theory in Sports - ProQuest". www.proquest.com. Retrieved 2023-09-24.: Ronald C. Thomas, Jr. "Breaking the body image stereotype: Female bodybuilding and muted group theory":

Option 3

 * 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.
 * Sources

Option 4

 * 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.
 * Sources

Option 5

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