I already done Part 1 and attached the file. Please read the instructions carefully.
While topics in abnormal psychology make the news almost daily, reporters do not always present research results in an accurate manner. Your task in this paper is to find a newspaper or magazine article from the past year that discusses at least one of the disorders addressed in this module. The primary focus of this paper is to evaluate the quality of information that would generally be available to the public, who don’t know to look at specialized information sources. The article should be at least a few pages long.
This assignment has two parts:
Part 1: Submit the following as part of Module 3:
The URL for an online article about depressive or bipolar disorders
A summary, in your own words, of what the article was about
Part 2: After you have received feedback from your instructor, continue to use the approved article and write a paper with the following elements. Submit the following as part of Module 5:
A summary, in your own words, of what the article was about (this can be the same as your Part 1 submission)
A description of the central issues or concerns; that is, why was the article written, do you think? What is the message it is trying to convey?
A description on whether you think this article accurately described the disorder(s); be sure to base your answer on what you learned in the module. You should also use one additional reliable source to evaluate the article’s description of the disorder (e.g., part of the DSM, or a source from NIMH). Also be sure to give specific reasons why you think the article did or did not accurately describe the disorder.
An evaluation of the impact of this article; does it genuinely contribute to understanding of the topic at hand or is it misleading?
The paper should be written according to APA style format. At a minimum, this includes:
Title Page
Double-spaced, 12-pt Times-New Roman text. Remove extra space between paragraphs that is the default in MS Word.
1” margins on all four sides
References page (all references cited in the text, all citations included on the references page)
