Evaluate the article
This article provides a good lead section allowing for a short summary of the topic and as well as supplementary links to provide background information on people or things mentioned. It presents a neutral point of view throughout the article, it does not try to persuade the reader rather it just provides information and backs up the information with examples and other sources. All the references at the bottom are also credible and allow access when clicked. Along with references there are also separate sections giving examples of how the ideas in the article are shown through different media outlets such as movies, tv shows, and people. The article lacks images and media however all the information was very through and easy to follow. Overall the article was interesting and was written well with a lot of supplementary links to each movie, show, or example listed so that the topic could be researched further by the reader.
