Foundation for Child Development - 0 views

    The Foundation for Child Development is a philanthropy that is dedicated to the principle of all families having all materials necessary to raise their children to be healthy, educated, and productive members of society. The website includes an "About Us" and an "Our Work" sections that describe what the foundation does and includes links to programs the foundations supports. The website is informative and only slightly persuasive. There was tons of information that include current efforts being made, historical data, and information on how to get involved made available but few towards persuading the visitor. The only thing I might consider slightly persuasive was the links to programs the foundation supports. I am not sure if there is an intended audience. There was no indication or hint towards one but if I had to choose an audience it would be parents or any adult interested in assisting the foundation in whatever way possible. The website though was very general and provided thorough knowledge and information accessible to anyone. The website is defiantely credible. Though I cannot designate an author for the website, all material and resources are cited, dated, and current and easily accessible and readily available. Under the "Resource" tab there is also a library search the visitor can conduct as well as related articles that are also cited and dated. There is also a "Contact" tab that supplys an email, telephone, and address for further questions, comments, and concerns. From viewing the website I found several things related to work, family, and community that include the rising need for assistance in the area of education and volunteer opportunties. The FCD started out as a voluntary agency that worked with AACC and continues to volunteer in whatever way they can in communties.

    The website does contain bias obviousely; however one should be able to tell that just by looking at the URL. The website offered insight into several of the measures working women are taking to hopefully balance out their work and family conflict. Not only that, but the website also included articles regarding the pay scale for men and women and the differences we suffer from. It included statistical data provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and broke down the participation of men and women in the public sector. Not that this was shocking but it pointed out the decrease in women participation. There are also community service projects that the organization participates in.

Coalition for Labor Union Women - 1 views

    The CLUW is a national organization for union women that was formed in 1974 to unify all union women in a feasible organization to determine common problems and to ultimately develop action programs to deal with those concerns/problems. The website for the Coalition of Labor Union Women includes several links to expand one's knowledge on the topic and also provides information about what they do and who they are. The website also includes resource guides, recent news regarding the CLUW, and the opportunity to become a member of their organization. This website is informative but also persuasive in the sense that it advocates the participation of others to fight for their cause. There are several articles to access regarding equal pay (or lack there of), videos to watch about worker's rights, and statistics that demonstrate men and women in the workplace. The intended audience would be working mothers. The website is open to all audiences; however there is a little slogan or tagline on the website that reads, "CLUW.org…The online frontline for working women". This would clearly indicate a desired audience of women and future supporters as well as all the topics the webiste covers. Though I could not find an author for the material discussed and available on the website, the information, in my opinion, is credible. The website is orginating from the CLUW and any and all information provided on the website has to do with their practices and is stated as being published by the CLUW. There are other links and materials provided that also appear to be credible. They are from news stories, life experiences, and statistical data and provide source information. Also, all articles, newsletters, videos, and blogs are dated and reasonably up-to-date. In addition, there is contact information left for several members of the organization including the president. The website does contain bias obviousely; however one should be able to tell that just b
