Skin whitening

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate this article because it resonated with me personally and some of the issues faced within the black community such as colorism for example. Although this article specifically does not address colorism, it is related to topic as it is a facet as to why melanated people around the world see their level darkness in their skin as a sign of inferiority. My overall impression of this article would be that I was shocked to see the weight of the health risks that people around the world would undertake just to have lighter skin.

The information on the topic of skin whitening was relevant for the most part in addressing the facts of its use today, its history as in regards to how the practice originated with Caucasian people and was introduced to Melanated people around the world, the health hazards that come with using skin whitening products, and the ideology of inferiority that the practice of skin bleaching is twisted in with. Little to no bias has been detected within this article as all aspects of the article are explained with pure facts as well as credible sources to back the statements up. Some of the sources are from a decade and some years earlier, however, most of the sources for these statements are to only back up bare information that is widely accepted. The authors of the cited information are in fact diverse and most are coming from accredited sources.
