Option 1

 * Article title
 * Filter (social media):
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article about beauty filters in social media is relevant to the topic, as it provides the history of filters, how it has developed throughout the years, and the psychological effects it has on individuals who use them on social media platforms. It is neutral, as it provides both the positive and negative side effects of beauty filters on social media. It provides multiple perspectives and allows readers to form their own opinions on beauty filters. Each of their points include clear citations, including researches, studies, and industry reports. Although it has provided multiple perspectives with reliable sources, this article could be improved through including perspectives of underrepresented populations, more specifically how it affects people of color and the challenges they face in regards to the beauty standards created by the creators of the filters. Addressing these equity gaps can add more information and perspectives that could be beneficial for underrepresented communities.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Media multitasking
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article about media multitasking is relevant to the topic as it provides a lot of information of on how consuming multiple media streams can affect cognitive performance of humans in different areas of life, our behaviors, and societal habits in general. It also explores different aspects of media multitasking and also covers the psychological and behavioral issues that may come with it. It provides examples of how it can affect us in our daily lives. It is also neutral, because the information written is backed by evidence. All the claims includes citations that allow readers to reflect on their own lives. The citations are reliable, as they are studies conducted by credible institutions. Although it is inclusive and acknowledges how it affects individuals across generations, I think it can benefit from more perspectives from other underrepresented groups. For example, how children can experience it or how individuals with disabilities and may be experiencing media multitasking in a different way. It can also benefit by adding a section about how media multitasking affects individuals mentally and how it interacts with mental disorders such as ADHD, depression, and anxiety.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Taro dumpling
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is relevant to the topic and describes the dish well. It is neutral and has citations, but can be greatly improved in terms of content. It thoroughly describes the taste, texture, and looks of the dish, but it lacks history and context. To improve the article, additional information about the history of taro dumplings, its history, the different styles and the significance it has on Chinese culture can be explored. Since China is a huge place with many different subcultures, it can also be helpful to include how the dish differs in different communities and marginalized groups.
