Lead evaluation
'''Comment: 'Morgan, your lead is very informative. Maybe add how hurtful communication (and its asscoiated research) is a critical component of multiple social and psychological fields. I see a little further on, you make mention of how hurtful communication can lead to individuals in certain relationships to suffer from depression...Maybe tying hurtuful communication as an influencer in the onset of clinical mental and emotional disroders. Knowing the significance of hurtful communication in social and cultural context will compell readers to draw connections to its presence in group communication and how it contributes to a variety of behaviors and attitudes.

 * Does the article deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps? Does it address topics related to historically underrepresented populations or topics?NO.

Content evaluation
'''Comment: 'I would add a tid bit on what hurtful communication may represent to the receiver of the message that influences negative emotions. Chapter two of our course text elaborates on the relational aspect of communication to relationship order and how collective culture attitudes can create (or dismantle) what content is important or 'sensitive (or in your case, hurtful). Maybe even go a little further to explain how hurtful communication can onset dissociative communication in the receiver. Hurtful communication can easily be tied to communication accommodation theory, in where individuals adjust their communicative behaviors to communication they favor and disfavor.

Overall evaluation
'''Comment: Morgan, all in all your article is full of useful information on what hurtful communication can entail and its significance to interpersonal relatiosnhips. I would also add how some non-verbal communication can be considered as hurtful communication (ignoring someone, turning your back on someone while they are speaking, rolling eyes, sighing, etc.). Lastly, understanding that this is a 'rough draft' sort to speak for the final product, will your content titles be the actual questions (you have the questions italicized, so I'm not entirely sure)?? If so, you may want to consider using titiles such as 'efficacy' to discuss how hurtful communication is carried out; 'components' or 'elements' to discuss the two elements of content and delivery; and 'research' to discuss the proven ways of how individuals are effected by hurtful communication.'''
