Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

The article on social work was chosen because I have an interest in social work. While I am a psychology major, I am currently enrolled with a sociology minor which correlates with social work. Social work is important because of the many services it gives to those in need. The article gives a nicely detailed explanation of social work and as well as what comes along with social work in the field, how it is around the world, and what it can provide.

Evaluate the article
The articles lead section provides a detailed explanation of the basics of social work and slightly summarizes the rest of the article. It goes into detail about what areas of work it can be found within and as well as discusses it's history briefly. The lead is not overly detailed however it may seem so at first glance. Overall the lead section provides enough information to those who are wishing to look at a brief history and details about social work. When it comes to the content of the article, everything appears to be up to date with even some information being edited. The last edit being February 11th 2022 of this year. Many of the sources generally are after 2014 with the newest reference being from this year as well. There appears to be no missing information either within the article too. However within the article, it only mainly discusses about social work within the U.S., Canada. and India. There surely are other places where social work is performed. Tone wise, there is no bias within the article however as mentioned before, there is a underrepresentation on other countries practicing social work. Organization of the article is simple and everything is placed nicely where the next topic has a smooth transition from one to another. No grammar errors and such either are presented. For media, there is none photo wise, however there is a list of unnecessary examples of fictional social workers. Other than those small details on fictional social workers, underrepresentation of other countries, and etc. the article does well in discussing social work.
