Information on Authors

According to their website ASA is huge for journal publishers on everyday (current) events that happen. As I was browsing through the website I did see that you actually have to be a member to log in and access these particular journals. They have up to three thousand journal articles from topics on health, social psychology, sociological theory, race, ethnicity, and teachings. The American Sociological Association has had one hundred and eleven annual celebrations. (ASA) A variety of their journal articles have been around for many many years. As I began to look more in depth I did come to recognize that this exact article can also be found on sage journals. (SAGE) Sage has been around for about fifty years with hundreds of published articles. (SAGE) Although, I did find this article through another publisher I did not find this article through worldcat.

I did come to find footnotes at the end of this article. These authors had plenty of citations to prove that their information was based on facts rather than opinions. Since both authors specialize is either psychology or sociology with family health I do believe that their information can be biased towards this subject. Although I do believe the information can be biased I didn’t see much content that would be based more on opinions than facts. Opinions and propaganda are easy to recognize in my opinion because they are not based on info that can be backed up. For the two of the three pieces of literature I chose for this assignment I couldn’t
