Which article are you evaluating?
Infidelity

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose it because I find the topic of infidelity to be very interesting and I think it is a significant aspect of romantic relationships that can shape the way one views love and have a big impact on one's psyche. Fidelity is centered around heavily around trust and commitment. Once someone breaks that trust once, it can change the way one trusts in their future relationships. I have seen/heard of so many stories of infidelity; in some ways it feels inevitable because it is so common.

Evaluate the article
While the leading section does describe the article's topic, I don't feel like it gives an overview as to everything that is discussed in the article. The article is overall well-organized but may seem a bit overwhelming for readers simply because there is a lot of information - perhaps omitting out-of-date information could make the article more concise, ie chat rooms do not seem as relevant in this day and age therefore it may not require a section anymore. The article overall does address various aspects of the topic such as gender differences, incidence, sexual orientation, theories as to why it occurs, as well as the impact of the internet. The article is very content heavy, but all of the content overall seems relevant to the topic, however I feel that not all of the information is up to date and I wonder if there have been any recent research findings on the topic. I would also say that overall the sources do seem reliable and from reputable academic journals. The overall tone of the article also seems to be neutral, but I feel like it may be natural for there to be a negative connotation when it comes to cheating.
