Find an article in a “popular culture” magazine or website (e.g., Maxim, Cosmopolitan, Men’s Health) that
relates to a topic covered in class. In the first part of the assignment (1/2-1 page), summarize the article – what
did the article have to say about the subject? What did it use as the basis for its information/advice? Then,
compare the article to what we learned in class (1/2-1 page). Does their information or advice match what we
learned? What was the same? What was different? What was left out? Do you think this article was
trustworthy? Why or why not? Finally, in the last portion of the assignment (~1 page), reflect on the topic and
the article as it relates to your own life. Have you personally experienced something similar to what was
described in the article? How did the experience affect you? Do you agree or disagree with the views in the
article? Why?
