HUM 360 Worksheet: Week 3 Omar Perez Part I: Chosen Organization for the Signature Assignment Restate your chosen organization and provide its URL. My chose organization is the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation https://www.glaad.org/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAz9ieBhCIARIsACB0oGJTaD9YqF6DcI7- bX4a5ii_RMoMlI_-BKbH6k-GG2B8siZUF5Pc1P0aAnZPEALw_wcB Briefly summarize the organization’s mission in your own words. I completely agree with what this organization stands for and is about, bringing good and light to the LGBTQ+ community. Overall, GLAAD is a media source that tackles essential news and topics within the LGBTQ+ Community. This news and issues range from battling discrimination with facts to increasing media accountability, ensuring these topics and stories are brought to light and actualized. Part II: Evaluating a Source Find a news article about an issue that falls under the advocacy of your chosen organization. The article must be from a credible source and have been written within the last 2 years (i.e., recent). Provide the APA-formatted citation for the article. I went ahead and utilized Google Scholar; a credible platform used by many students for professional papers. The article's title is Increase in Depression and Anxiety Among Australian Gay and Bisexual Men During COVID-19 Restrictions: Findings from a Prospective Online Cohort Study. Covering the increased mental health issues among gay men during the COVID pandemic. References/APA Citation of Article: Bavinton, B. R., Chan, C., Hammoud, M. A., Maher, L., Haire, B., Degenhardt, L., Holt, M., Lea, T., Bath, N., Storer, D., Jin, F., Grulich, A. E., Bourne, A., Saxton, P., & Prestage, G. P. (2022, January 17). Increase in depression and anxiety among Australian gay and bisexual men during COVID-19 restrictions: Findings from a prospective online cohort study - archives of sexual behavior . SpringerLink. Retrieved January 29, 2023, from https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-021-02276-2 Page | 1
Use the CAARP method to evaluate credibility of your chosen article. Describe what you discovered. At the beginning of my research, I used lateral reading to assist me in selecting the most adequate and credible source on the Google Scholar platform. Lateral reading helps determine the author's credibility by thoroughly searching for articles on the related topic. Currency: Per requested in the assignment details, the article must have been out within the last two years. My source was published on January 17, 2022. Authority: Many authors who contributed to the article hold a higher education title within the related field, making them trustworthy. Accuracy: My source was not randomly selected online. I utilized Google Scholar, best known for providing solid, credible sources for professional papers. All information is presented professionally. Relevance: The article contains sufficient accurate information needed relating to my topic. The source did not go discussion one thing to another, smooth transitions throughout the source. Purpose: All Information within the article is essential as it brings light to a crucial issue that is going on within the LGBTQ+ community. Many youths and adults within the community battle with anxiety and depression caused by the hate and bigotry within society. It's vital to acknowledge and bring awareness to these issues. Briefly describe how you feel the article relates to your chosen organization. You will develop this reasoning in the Signature Assignment, based on what you research about the organization. This article relates to my chosen organization because the purpose is to tackle and bring light to many issues within the LBGTQ+ community, as GLAAD does. The article discusses the increase in mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety, affecting young gay men seven more since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. As mentioned in the article, a study is included, as well as resources and ways to combat these mental health issues arising within the LGBTQ+ community. Page | 2
