A fictional muppet orphan who constantly has the sniffles
After always being sick, tested for aids and her mother died from aids

This character was used as a model for this disease in America

Political parties concerned about this and made the writes aware of their concerns

Everything in the article was relevant to the article and it's topic, but more background information could be used to support the reason for bringing this fictional character on a big platform

This article is neutral but the focus of aids could have more information since that is the relevancy of the article rather than people's viewpoints toward the disease

After looking at the sources cited at the end, the websites do work. The information comes from supporting articles of this topic. They seem to be unbiased neutral articles that provide evidence of why and how this fictional character came to be supported.

After looking at the talk page for this article, I found that nobody has talked on this page. With nobody talking on this page, I cannot determine what this article is rated at and can also not determine if there are any differences in the way Wikipedia talks compared to our class discussions.

Week 3: Identity Theft -This article has relevant information but it could be stronger with the incorporation of more current information -The article is written neutrally and does not have any opinions throughout -Each claim that is used throughout this piece does have a citation that comes from a credible source. I know it is a credible source because whenever I click on the citation, it brought me to either a book or credible journal article -When adding to this piece I plan to include the number of people who are involved in identity theft per year, so people understand the importance of this epidemic. I also want to include any tips or strategies to reduce the risk of having your identity was stolen and the different ways that people can steal your identity. Also, I want to include the strain on a family it can have to have a stolen identity and the time and cost that could potentially be faced with this crime. I hope to be able to include relevant information with more recent article to support the importance of current info.

Draft

Identity theft is one of the leading problems in the United States that sometimes results in unfortunate circumstances. In a 2018 study, it was reported that 60 million Americans identities were wrongfully acquired. The number of people this has happened to has revealed there is a wrongful epidemic in our country with how easily our identity is not truly protected among every account that we have, even our birth certificates. With this continuing problem, some new bills have been implemented to provide more security for people such as electronic signatures and social security verification for more authentication to further prove it is the true person. There are several types of identity theft that are used to gather information, one of the most common types occurs when consumers make online purchases. A study was conducted with 190 people to determine the relationship between the constructs of fear of financial losses and reputational damages. The conclusions of this study revealed that identity theft was a positive correlation with reputable damages. The relationship between perceived risk and online purchase intention were negative. The significance of this findings reveal that online companies are more aware of the potential harm that can be done to their consumers, therefore they are searching for ways to reduce the perceived risk of consumers and not lose out on business. Although the idea of identity theft can be frightening to some, the aftermath of how people move forward is a pretty intense process. Some may face a year or consecutive years to prove to the legal system that they are the true person. With this potential long process can lead to emotional strain and financial losses; most theft that is done was by the victim's family members, some may not be able to obtain new credit cards or open new bank accounts and sometimes even loans. This is severely important to provide information about the significance of identity theft and the lasting impacts it could hold on the victim's life.
