This artical was ment for highschool students but it brought up a very inetresting topic to consider and that is "critical friend groups". basically it tries to prove that friends are vital to the survival of an individual in the school experience and help them grow more than even their parents in some ways.

This article addresses men and women in political coverage and the media. When women make decision about who to vote for, they rely more on their close relatives and friends, while men rely more on the media and other coverage. Men, especially when younger pay more attention to the media and read the news paper for political information versus women. The researches conducts a survey in which it shows women are tended to be more democratic than men so this can affect the way they choose to vote. This article will be useful to my research because it shows how men and women use different forms of literacy to vote. This is an outside perspective and it allows a researcher to see the other side of the voting process. This article also proves the point women tend to be more democratic, which can mean if a women is running as a Republican, they are less likely to attract women voters.

this is an artical i found when looking at negative efects friends can have on eachoother, especially in an academic setting. it basically just gives examples of how things like rejection from peers can lead to poor academics and life choices. Good study with solid information to back it up.

this was an inetresting source because it said one fact i never really thought of before. that is that your friends and social grouping can influence your negative approach to schooling. this is a not a path i really ever thought to go down when looking at how my communities dynamics megativly effect school so i guess something good came out of this source.
