    This website clearly states their mission. They attempt to help shape public policy to help women's lives in a positive manner.They offer different sections about informing a reader about programs, publications, news updates and ways to support the website and cause. The website seems to mostly geared towards women. It is attempting to empower them. The website seems to be credible because of the mission of the Board of Directors. To attempt to change public policy, there has to be a level of professionalism and credibility. The staff and board of directors for this website include extremely educated individuals. The newsletter provided by CWPS has articles written by accredited authors. The newsletter provides information about how CWPS has helped change and mold different public policies that have come about. I will say that there is a bit of a bias in the writing on the website. Although, they cover different issues, they attempt to make it seem like their efforts are never good enough and nothing is getting done in their favor. This does take away from credibility a bit. The information provided does come from credible sources. They have information from the U.S Census and from their own findings. The CWPS has a social agenda to help improve women's lives not just in America but also around the world. I feel that this is a good website.They do a great job of calling people to action. CWPS does a wonderful job of presenting facts about the state of women around the world. They make it known that there is a problem and it must be improved.

Unmarried America Website - 1 views

  •  
    The unmarried America website is a website that attempts to offer advice and information for what they say is the 104 unmarried people within the United States of America. They offer articles within their library about health, lifestyle, workplace, legal issues. They also offer updates about how unmarried people can gain more knowledge about subjects that affect them. As it obviously states throughout the website, the information is targeted to unmarried single people within the United States. The information offered on the website seems to be available to everyone. Although the information offered on this website seems very helpful and credible, the web design of the website limits its credibility. Also, the fact that the website does not seem to be updated on a regular basis. They seem to only add new stories every couple months. Although the website posses over 6,500 pages of information for unmarried people it all does not seem current. The fact that the people who run the website consider it a "non profit information service," gives the notion that they are credible individuals who really aim to provide real trustworthy information. The website does have an online library which helps provide a resource for information. While exploring the website I did notice that unmarried people do make up a large amount of our population. They do make a difference when it comes to voting about issues that affect them. According to an article that took statistics from the U.S. census unmarried households are the dominant living arrangement's within the United States. I was really surprised to find this out. Overall the website still offers some solid information even though it does not seem up to date.
