5 Sources




Source A: 2015 World Hunger Poverty Facts and Statistics
This source supports claims made by one of my sources on the bad conditions in other locations, but talks about regions much more than specific countries

This source gets refuted by another article that says that many health and society problems stem from unsanitary conditions as well as malnutrition


This source takes the key ideas of my topic and breaks them down to the core and makes everything black and white. It provides a lot of definitions and statistics that make the information blunt and easy to understand

I’d say this is the person you come to if you know nothing about the topic and he can get you up to speed on everything
Source B: Schmidt Beyond Malnutrition: The Role of Sanitation in Stunted Growth
This source supports the fact that malnutrition affects the growth and health of children, but it also says there is another very important issue as well, sanitation and cleanliness

It contradicts my source A by saying that bad conditions are just as important if not more important than maintaining good food quality

This source helps the reader understand because it provides insight they might not have considered and while it may not technically be a counterargument, it proposes a different approach to treating an important issue.

I would introduce this source as the missionary that volunteered in a different country and is trying to talk about the bad conditions over there

Source C: Sinn Nutritional and dietary influences on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
This source supports the idea that nutrient imbalances may have negative effects on health, but it focuses it largely on children and their psychological response to it, not stunted growth

It doesn’t refute anything said, but it steers the topic into a different direction and focuses largely on the negative affects it can have on a child’s mind

It helps them better understand the subject by giving them new things to consider, and shows a different side to kids that don’t have proper diets. Its important because you may not be able to see these effects by looking at a child, but they become apparent when you start interacting with him or her

This source would be the organized person that has all their arguments ready to present and takes a very informational and detailed approach


Source D: Ward Malnutrition
This source talks about the importance of getting a proper diet, as do all my other sources, although it does not talk about specific parts of the food and how they affect the body, it does talk about the effects of malnutrition on a population of people

It doesn’t contradict any of my sources

It helps better understand the other sources because it talks about the UK, a first world country, and a majority of my readers will probably be from first world countries too and it will make a lot of my arguments much more relatable

This source would be a person that has much first hand experience about what they are talking about and can provide personal anecdotes as well as credible facts

Source E: Weinfield Hunger In America 2014
This source is fairly unique and describes the coverage of food pantries in America but does not talk about nutritional value of the food or nutrient itself like my other sources do

It doesn’t contradict any of my sources

It helps the reader better understand because it talks about how many families in America need assistance and they severity of the help. It also talks about the effectiveness of the efforts taken and will go along nicely with my other sources since it makes the information personal and can be tied in with my information on the nutritional values of food

This source we be the kind of person that went out and got their own info on a topic they were researching by asking and taking surveys
