As technology begins to evolve faster and faster, Earth is now “too crowd” for us. It is time for us to look for a “new home” for us to live in. Mars seems to be a good choice, but how do we get there? Isn’t it too far? Well, thanks to Elon Musk, we now have a plan to move to mars. But before actually going there, there are variety of things we need to do because Mars is currently unavailable due to its environment. We have to change the environment first then we can move in there. But it could take a long time.

Richard Feldman “Marijuana should be treated more like alcohol” Article – Indianapolis Business Journal (Vol. 40, Issue 41) Indianapolis Business Journal Corp. December 6, 2019

     In the article “Marijuana should be treated more like alcohol” by Richard Feldman published on Dec. 6 2019; he explains his reasoning how using marijuana use is not as bad as it is depicted out to be and is proven by decriminalization of the substance by state. The article informs readers that marijuana is slowly gaining acceptance by lawmakers and the public. Even over half of physicians believe that medical marijuana should be legalized. Therapeutic benefits are proven to come from marijuana use for conditions such as chronic pain, nausea, inflammatory bowel disease, and even cancer. There can be risk of psychological addiction, mild physical addiction, emotional disturbance, memory difficulties. However, these side effects are largely reversible. When this article was made thirty three states have legalized medical marijuanna and eleven states have legalized marijuana for recreational use. Although some states like Indiana have not legalized medical marijuana, a poll was taken where seventy percent of Indiana voters favored legalizing medical marijuana. This is evidence that legalization is inevitable but might take some time on the lawmakers behalf. Also, at this time even in states where marijuana is not legal under any circumstance, there is no longer prosecution for small quantities of marijuana. Following this there will be no jail time, arrest or prison time for this. It will be merely as low level as a traffic violation. One of the main points of this article is to prove that there is no evidence marijuana is a gateway drug, any more so than alcohol. Imprisonment and convictions which will lead to being blocked from certain sources like education and loans is immoral. This article is well written and gets straight to the point . Introduces the idea that everything all comes down to the users responsibility at the end of the day. Based on Feldman background being a family physician, author, lecturer and former Indiana State Department of Health commissioner for Governor Frank O’Bannon his information is credible and can be trusted. Feldman’s purpose is to inform readers and give some people a new perspective when they think about marijuana. Also, he might have persuaded some adults to use the drug, especially the people who deal with some kind of condition that the drug is used to help with.

Becky Little. “Why the U.S Made Marijuana Illegal; Fear of mexican immigrants led to the criminalization of marijuana” Blog Post- History Aug. 31st 2018 

    In this post “Why the US Made Marijuana Illegal” by Becky Little published on Aug. 31st 2018 we get an origin story of how the criminalization behind the drug started and racism somehow playing a role in the decision. From what the author wrote it is known that the drug was not always prohibited in America. During the 1830’s Anglo-Americans and Europeans knew about the benefits of marijuana. In the late 19th century cannabis extract could be purchased and doctors offices to treat illness like stomach pain, inflammation, headaches and other ailments. The author emphasizes if something has been good for medical purposes in the past does not mean it is still good to use now. Then proceeds to state that marijuana has been proved by research to have real benefits by modern research. Despite marijuana being medically beneficial, attitudes towards the drug changed. This was partly motivated by Mexican immigration to the U.S around the time of the 1910 Mexican Revolution. Author Eric Schlosser of “Reefer Madness: Sex, Drugs, and Cheap Labor in the American Black Market” wrote,”The prejudices and fears that greeted these peasant immigrants also extended to their traditional means of intoxication: smoking marijuana”. He also wrote for The Atlantic in 1944 stating,”Police officers in Texas claimed that marijuana incited violent crimes, aroused a ‘lust for blood,’ and gave its users ‘superhuman strength.’ Rumors spread that Mexicans were distributing this ‘killer weed’ to unsuspecting American schoolchildren” .Thus where criminalization of the drug began even though research has shown alcohol to be more dangerous than marijuana. Though marijuana was not proven to arouse violence or give superhuman strength twentynine states outlawed marijuana between 1916 and 1931. The Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 banned the drug nationwide despite disputes from the American Medical Association related to cannabis usage. This act was passed a year after the film Reefer Madness warned parents that drug dealers will lure their children to take the drug. This was to instill fear in parents and further put a negative light on marijuana. From this point on the federal government kept increasing punishments on marijuana charges until the late 1960’s, when the law began affecting white upper to middle class college students. The author of this article believes marijuana prohibition came from racism and xenophobia whose principal effect has been to ruin generations of lives.This post was informative and helped me understand the reason marijuana was deemed illegal by the U.S in the first place. Before reading this I would have never thought Mexican immigrants was the reason for making marijuana illegal. Becky Little is a journalist in Washington D.C, Who has written for HISTORY, Smithsonian, National Geographic, The Washington Post and more.The author brings the reader back to the past to help them understand why marijuana became illegal nationwide. The author’s purpose was to show how racism in America is largely what made marijuana illegal. The author is credible because she has written for many companies and uses other sources to support her claims which are the strong points in this post.

2. This source explains the job of the NCAA which is to make sure everything is fair and ethical, make sure that any violated rules are indefinite would face a consequence, and lastly to make sure athletes don’t make money and stay an amateur. The main point in this source is to explain how the rules implemented by the NCAA are not smart and make it harder for those who are less fortunate. The author does give multiple alternatives that would be beneficial for athletes to support and help athletes that want and need to be paid. The author concludes the paper with the alternative essentially telling there should be no excuses for athletes to not get paid. There is so much money that the NCAA generates because of the players and aren’t being compensated or don’t even give the player insurance, cause not everyone makes it to the league to get millions.
3. In my opinion, not every athlete obtains a full ride to college meaning some people have to take out loans to pay off the debt that they had build, and it is just because there not fortunate financially-wise. And not everyone makes it to the pros so getting paid in college is insurance to them. 
4. Looking at the author of the source Dan Levy’s credentials he didn’t have any accomplishments but he has worked with many different media such as Washington Post, Philadelphia Sports Blog, Bleacher Report and etc. I think he’s reliable because he’s experienced and works for really big sports media.
5. Levy’s choice of genre is sports journalism because he dives fully into college sports analytics and when stating the issue he provides solutions with really good statics of how it would work out. Looking at his background this worked out well for him because of how reliable he is and how thorough the article is.
6. The key quote in this source is “Pardon the fuzzy math, but it’s safe to say the NCAA and its member institutions will rake in more than $40 billion over the next 15 years from TV partners, and that doesn’t include other corporate sponsors, radio partners, ticket sales and merchandise deals. How much of that do the players get again?”. This quote is astonishing to realize how much money the NCAA makes in 15 years and won’t pay an athlete at all. Five billion disputed fairly to the players would help the less fortunate athlete a lot.

1. Vance, Hunter. “Student-Athletes: A Scholarship Is Not Enough.” BYU ScholarsArchive, Marriott Student Review, Sept. 2019, scholarsarchive.byu.edu/marriottstudentreview/vol3/iss2/8/
2. Throughout the article, hunter explains the life of a college athlete which a student who goes to class in the morning and right after goes to practice for the rest of the day, and this is repeated. Athletes attend multiple practices in total for more than 40 hours a week, play 25+ plus games a season, and based on how much each school gets money off the athletes each player is worth around $289,031 a season and none of them get paid anything. This Hunter’s main point in the article is to void or destroy the notion of how athlete compensation is a free education and other free benefits that college doesn’t realize isn’t enough especially for those who are less fortunate financially wise. Athletes were told they weren’t going to be paid because they were amateurs which essentially means they say only pros should be paid. What they don’t realize is not every college basketball player make it to the pros only 2 percent of all the college basketball player get drafted to the pros. The author wraps the article up with how other college students on scholarships are allowed to get paid for the work they have done but if the athlete tries to get paid he could lose his eligibility to play and maybe even his scholarship which is devastating.
3. In my opinion, athletes should not be losing everything they had worked so hard for due to them trying to make money selling merch, receiving gifts or etc. They work so hard and need to be compensated for that. The rules should change and pay the players which are they are the reason the NCAA even receives a LOT of money. 
4. The author Vance Hunter isn’t a credible writer compare to the others because he doesn’t have accomplishments and there isn’t much data on him other than what school he’d attended. What do think is reliable is the publisher which is BYU college. 
5. This source is categorized as an article genre because it informs the reader on the problem and explains how bad and also how it affects others. The choice of genre fits the work really well because of how he formatted the paper.
6. The quote that was most interesting to me is “In January 1996, Google was invented. The invention came through a research project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Ph.D. students at Stanford University. Who received the current $102 billion business? Was it Stanford? No. It was Larry Page and Sergey Brin who became rich off their invention, not the university”. This quote explains how any college student other than the athlete is able to make money off of what they do best or even make money off of sponsors just for some odd reason athletes don’t make any money at all and they’re the ones who 100% help generate all the money. College athletes are given a book full of rules they can’t do mostly consisting of not being able to sell merch or have sponsors or receive anything from anybody. And yes I said “ Receive anything from anybody” in the article there was a student who loses his eligibility to play sports because he received a free meal which is outrageous.

    Following the Great Depression television was intense for viewers, exhibiting graphic scenes to all families. “During the 1960s, television news broadcasts brought the realities of real-world events into people’s living rooms in vivid detail…Around the same time as Kennedy’s assassination, horrific images from Vietnam were streaming into people’s living rooms during the nation’s first televised war. With five camera crews on duty in the Saigon bureau, news crews captured vivid details of the war in progress.” The Relationship Between Television and Culture summarizes how television was a needed distraction for people shielding them from the world – also striking the progression of social and cultural matters. This article emphasizes the power of the television and how it is able to change views through small or big events, fictional or not. Americans turned to escapism content to get away from the violence that was shown on television. The writing style is textbook based, with practical ways for readers to recognize the importance of television. The purpose of this piece is to teach readers the nurture of social problems and the nature of television. In my opinion, this article is a good choice for the intended audience because of its sources and credibility with the use of major life changing events.

” Television in American Society Reference Library. . Encyclopedia.com. 2 Apr. 2021 .” Encyclopedia.com, Encyclopedia.com, 14 Apr. 2021, www.encyclopedia.com/arts/news-wires-white-papers-and-books/televisions-impact-american-society-and-culture.”

Television was a large tool used to spread information to the public directly, bringing awareness to many social issues and providing entertainment for people. Television’s Impact on Society points out the influence of television on minorities, advertisements, and political gain. The article refers to highlighting the introduction of social causes while providing representation for minorities in the country. Although the article has no specific author, the piece is very well written; similar to a timeline, it goes in depth into how television is always developing on screen and off screen. The purpose of this article is to show readers that the television is very influential – due to perception of large social groups/issues it aided society to be the way it is now. “Between the 1940s and 2000s, commercial television had a profound and wide-ranging impact on American society and culture. It influenced the way that people think about such important social issues as race, gender, and class. It played an important role in the political process, particularly in shaping national election campaigns…TV news programs provided extensive coverage of civil rights protests, which helped turn public opinion in favor of the cause of equality. As awareness of racial discrimination (unfair treatment based on race) increased, more social critics began complaining about the absence of minority characters on television. They argued that positive portrayals of minority characters in TV programs could help increase the self-esteem of minority viewers, promote understanding, and improve race relations in the United States.” The text proves that television has positive aspects, changing the way other races were viewed and providing opportunities for them. The article is good for the intended audience because it enforces the positive aspects of television; tackles and presents large social causes and conclusions and uplifts minorities (race, gender, sexuality, etc.) 

AttorneyJeffery Kessler,FMR. NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue” CNN: Should college athletes be paid to play?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2z0_DCollSY

In the short documentary that I watched called ”Should college athletes be paid?”It gives two different points of view from Attorney Jeffrey Kessler and FMR. NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue. Attorney Jeffrey Kessler says that college athletes are basically pro athletes that work without payment, and he believes this is not fair nor is it the right way to go about college sports. Meanwhile former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue stated that he believes that with athletes getting paid that the efforts being put into the sports with decrees and students will just play for money. But I’d have to agree with Attorney Jeffrey Kessler saying that money will not only encourage them to play harder as a college athlete but it will help increase the college athlete graduation rate. He states the cause of college athletes going pro and not finishing their education is due to the fact that they aren’t getting paid. A primary example of this is pro basketball player Dominique Wilkins. He spent 3 years in college and dropped out on his last year as soon as he got the offer to go pro. Dominique Wilkins then explained to the public he dropped out because he was struggling financially and he could not wait to get paid. In my opinion, this short documentary was made to inform people of this issue regarding college athletes and show how the obvious solution will positively affect not only the athletes in terms of sports but also in terms of studies as well. I believe this is a credible source because it is backed by CNN. CNN is well known for giving out important and reliable news. I believe that this short documentary was a great choice for this information. I believe so because not only was it short and informative but it also gave the perspective of the opposing opinion that money should be funded for only tuition and still showed how the payment of college athletes in cash would benefit the players financially and help them complete their college education and graduate. A key quote that I had heard in this short documentary was when Jeffrey Kessler (the attorney) stated “Education took a backseat to   profits a long time ago, there is nothing pure and there is not good intent when it come s to the lack of payment with the players this is a business and like many businesses the goal for them to to get as much money as possible.” I believe this a key quote because this quote sums up the whole video in its simplest form.

KarenWeaverContributo If College Athletes Return, Who Will Pay The Medical Bills?Apr 20, 2020,01:00pm

https://www.forbes.com/sites/karenweaver/2020/04/20/if-college-athletes-return-who-will-pay-the-medical-bills/?sh=25157d6f7752

In the narrative “If College Athletes Return, Who Will Pay The Medical Bills?”The main point that Karen Weaver is trying to make is that athletes should be paid for the work that they put in, if an athlete gets injured while paying and needs immediate medical attention they are sent to the hospital and after they are taken care of that hospital bill is going directly to either them or their parents. Injury bills are very expensive and if that student lives by themselves not only will it be hard to handle such a situation without a source of payment, but these players are putting their all into the sport and this sometimes can lead to critically life-changing injuries and barely get anything in return. She comes to this conclusion when stating “He injured his knee badly on the course and was writhing in pain. Fortunately, the host school had an ambulance on-site, and after they stabilized him, he was told they wanted to take him to the nearest hospital for further examination. He called his family. They told him because he was outside of their health network, they could not afford for him to get the treatment he needed. He was told to get out of the ambulance and take the team bus home to get treatment. It was crushing to see how much pain he was in, and a devastating reminder of the complexities of managing athlete health care in today’s world.” This statement shows the insignificance of college athletes not being able to afford medical attention. A D1 athlete was in agonizing pain and was unable to enter the ambulance because he was outside of their health network and nor could he afford his own. Personally, I feel that this narrative is a great source not only does the author give her contact information but she also uses a personal experience and story of a young man to help get the importance of her point across to the audience. In terms of writing style I believe that writing a narrative was one of the best approaches that could’ve been taken toward this issue. I believe so because there is storytelling behind the point that is trying to be put across and the story helps the audience visualize what is wrong with the actions that have been going on so in this case the lack of payment towards college athletes.

Charles S. Milliken, MD, Jennifer I Auchterlonie, MS, Charles WL Hoge, MD “Longitudinal Assessment of Mental Health Problems Among Active and Reserve Component Soldiers Returning from the Iraq War” https://jamanetwork-com.citytech.ezproxy.cuny.edu/journals/jama/fullarticle/209441

Some Soldiers that returned from the Iraq War had metal health problems. In the article they study how much soldiers need health care. The objective was that they wanted to measure the mental health needs among soldiers returning from Iraq and the association of screening with mental health care utilization. They studied the soldier’s health by using Post-Deployment Health Assessment and a Post-Deployment Health Re-Assessment. The article says that they took a Population-based, longitudinal descriptive study of the initial large cohort of 88 235 US soldiers returning from Iraq who completed both a Post-Deployment Health Assessment (PDHA) and a Post-Deployment Health Re-Assessment (PDHRA) with a median of 6 months between the 2 assessments. The main outcome was that they had posttraumatic stress disorder, major depression, alcohol misuse, and other health problems. The soldiers had more cases of mental health because of this they were referred to significantly higher rates from the Post-Deployment Health Reassessment and from the Post-Deployment Health Assessment. The article says that Based on the combined screening, clinicians identified 20.3% of active and 42.4% of reserve component soldiers as requiring mental health treatment. They had concerns about the interpersonal conflict that it increased the 4-fold. The soldiers always reported the concerns of alcohol, but they were not a lot of soldiers that got referred to get alcohol treatment. The article says that Most soldiers who used mental health services had not been referred, even though the majority accessed care within 30 days following the screening. Although soldiers were much more likely to report PTSD symptoms on the PDHRA than on the PDHA, 49% to 59% of those who had PTSD symptoms identified on the PDHA improved by the time they took the PDHRA. There was no direct relationship of referral or treatment with symptom improvement. The authors conclusion was to Rescreen the soldiers for a several of months after they returned from Iraq and they identified a large cohort missed on initial screening. They reported more amounts of veterans that presented to Veteran Affairs facilities that seemed to exist within the months of coming back home that they need to enhance the military mental health care during this period. They also see an increase in relationship problems that underscore shortcomings in services for family members. The Reserve component soldiers who returned to be a civilian status were referred at higher rates on the Post-Deployment Health Reassessment, which could reflect their concerns about their ongoing health coverage. The lack of this may let soldiers with alcohol problems not want to access the treatment. My opinion is that the soldiers that come back from the Iraq war is that if they need to get treatment, they should get it easy and have no trouble at all so they could get the care that they need as fast as possible. The authors write the article good because they wrote it liked it really concerned them on what is going on and that they want to fix this problem and not let the soldiers suffer and get the care that they need. The authors credentials really show why they wrote this article on this topic. The authors writing style was good and it kept the readers interested the whole way threw and they explained it very easy. The purpose of this reading was because the authors want us to know what is happening to the soldiers on how they get their health care. The authors were credential because they gave you sources and studied the problem in the article. This is nonfiction because this happened in real life and it is a real problem that we deal with. The key quote is that Based on the combined screening, clinicians identified 20.3% of active and 42.4% of reserve component soldiers as requiring mental health treatment. They had concerns about the interpersonal conflict that it increased the 4-fold.

Allen, John R. “Systemic Racism and America Today.” Brookings, Brookings, 11 June 2020, www.brookings.edu/blog/how-we-rise/2020/06/11/systemic-racism-and-america-today/.

The United States, is federal republic and representative democracy, which claims being civil and equal to citizens, despite race, sex, gender, and orientation. Such structure provides the constitution, responsible for human rights protection. African-American people were denied educational opportunities and prohibited from any religious parties. The freedom of speech and expressing personal opinions are part of our fundamental rights; White supremacy was taking intense effort to violate them. 

john R.Allen Thursday, June 11, 2020 talks about how Unaddressed systemic racism is, in my mind, the most important issue in the United States today. And it has been so since before the founding of our nation.

They had ideas from the facts were happening from historical effects and also close history that affected so many around the world an still so many people are afraid that is main idea that author is talking about and writing to let people know. “Truly, the very nature of our “national soul” is at stake, and we all have a deep responsibility to be a part of the solution.”

In conclusion, humanity should evaluate not only physically, but mentally as well. Time does not pass by for waste, we should educate and support each other in the ways of achieving the dream Dr. King had. The unity is full of justice, fairness and pursuit of happiness for all. There have been created many anti-racist organizations, such as : “black lives matter.”, “Campaign zero”, “Community movement builders”.. Etc. It is more critical than ever that we all stand in unity with one another during this global crisis. 

My opinion towards the topic is that we can not have negative views towards people with skin color and their cultures, specially we evolved to next era that won’t accept wrong views to others every one is individual by it’s own self no one has right to judge any one because they don’t look same.

Definitely agree with authors ideas they are mostly on the side of change Allen, John R wants to open peoples understandings to look right way of thinking what’s right and what’s wrong, as he says “I firmly believe that we as Americans cannot remain silent about injustice. Inaction is simply unacceptable, and we have to stand up and speak out. “

The genre with this source is almost documentary real life sources that really happened not to long ago.’I firmly believe that we as Americans cannot remain silent about injustice.” the best quote that comes out good idea that gives people to fight for their right and believes.

Dowd, Dr. Mary. “The Effects of Racism in Schools.” The Classroom | Empowering Students in Their College Journey, 10 Jan. 2019, www.theclassroom.com/effects-racism-schools-8703390.html.

Racism creates many other enduring issues affecting a person’s mental health. For instance, so many children are bullied at school, just because some parents could not raise their child properly and teach the right lesson.Prejudice and hatred are learned behaviors. They are acquired habits that can be modified. Children pick up on prejudices from the people of their lives, as well as the newspapers, books, and their peers. At a young age, the process of countering negativity with positives starts. Children’s bias is not intensified when mentioning discrepancies. Dr. Mary Dowd,The Effects of Racism in Schools 10 Jan. 2019

everyone is affected, but particularly students from historically oppressed racial groups, according to a statement on racism issued by the National Association of School Psychologists in 2012.Students subjected to racism from peers or teachers may respond with anger.In authors conclusion she meant to say that problems that they have makes them less competitive when applying to highly selective colleges.

In my opinion the author is differently right about the topic she is talking about she wants to show others how does schools effect kids with their personal views to others that mostly effected negative to others and for their future. Students who fall behind are less likely to finish high school, attend college or earn middle-class wages. Closing achievement gaps is considered the most pressing civil rights issue of the 21st century.

I believe the topic the author write about we need to payattantion the problem because this is not just anyone it’s about all of us,effects us in any kind of way just because of this we go to work and solve this problem especially when it’s about the kids and their needs.”Students who are always in trouble may get discouraged and drop out of school, according to the University of California, Los Angeles Law Review.”she explains why do we need to be aware to this problem and try to solve what ever it takes.

Grimit, Nicole. “Effects of Student Athletics on Academic Performance.” The Journal of Undergraduate Research, vol. 12, 2014, p. 5, openprairie.sdstate.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1014&context=jur#:~:text=found%20that%20participation%20in%20athletics.

Grimit research sought to determine the effect of the student’s academic performance due to their involvement in sporting activities. Determinatively, it was purposed to evaluate whether the students’ participation in collegiate athletics was either beneficial or disadvantageous. Accordingly, the research instrument used in obtaining data was a sixteen-question survey whereby seventy copies were distributed to South Dakota University students. Consequently, other survey questions were distributed amongst the student-athlete committee members, and twenty-one of them were also distributed amongst the fellowship members of the Christian athletes. Also, another twenty-two survey question was distributed amongst the women and men dive & swim team. There was a time limit given to fill in the survey questions. The first two questions sought to determine the demographic information. The remaining questions focused on answering the research question, which sought to showcase the correlation between students’ performance due to collegiate athletics participation. 

The research findings from Grimmit research were unique because they showcased that the students who participated in extracurricular activities at South Dakota university performed better than their peers. However, it remains critical to note that South Dakota University had hired a cohort of professionals who assist student-athletes. Notably, besides assisting the students in performing better in their sporting activities, the professionals also taught the students about the need to learn life skills and focus on their career paths. The research suggested that involvement in college athletics significantly motivated the students in their academics. Further, it motivated them to attend all their classes and keep tabs on all the learning activities in a quest for better academic performance. Notably, it was also noted that the involvement in the sporting games motivated the athletes to graduate while making their academic experience nostalgic. 

This research will help showcase that involvement in university sports is not entirely disadvantageous per se. However, it necessitates the university stakeholders to be concerned with the student’s welfare by hiring a team of professionals who will guide the students in their sporting endeavors and achieve both their academic and career goals. This empirical research will be a good source of secondary data to justify the need for various stakeholders to mentor the student-athletes and make their college learning a nostalgic experience.

In  “Overcoming Barriers to Entry in an Established Industry: Tesla Motors.” Excerpt from “California Management Review” (California Management Review), the magazine was published in 2015, the author is Jennifer Kelly Miller (Jennifer Kelly Miller), Edward Peter Straham (Edward Peter Stringham), J. Discuss how a startup company like Tesla has to overcome many barriers and compete with the well-established renowned company. Tesla’s cars are electric, which’s why they are nature friendly, That was the biggest advantage of tesla what allows them to get incentives from the government, which makes their cars cheaper than the competitors. Tesla knows that the future is electric vehicles what makes them successful. Now, everyone is following their path because there is no alternative way. 

I think the article is well thought out. In the article, the authors discuss how a start-up company like Tesla became the vehicle industry leader and move the whole vehicle industry toward electric vehicles.

Edward Stringham is an Austrian School American economist, President of the American Institute for Economic Research in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, and the Davis Professor of Economic Innovation at Trinity College. Jennifer K. Miller is an analyst for the electric vehicle infrastructure company Greenlots in San Francisco. J.R. Clark holds the Probasco Chair of Free Enterprise at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. All of these three authors are well qualified and they’re writing very informative, clear, and focused on the subject. In this article, the authors show how the vehicle industry moving toward electrification and how many barriers new vehicle makers have to face to enter the vehicle industry.

The type of this resource is a “Journal” article. In this genre, there is a lot of information about electric vehicles especially Tesla. In this article, the authors show how much people like an eclectic vehicle on top of a gasoline vehicle through their statistics.

“When General Motors and Chrysler veered toward bankruptcy, the market was signaling that the incumbents were doing something wrong, and as the value of Tesla rose, the market is signaling that Tesla is doing something right.”  Tesla cars are futuristic, which makes consumers interested in their cars.  Currently, all renowned companies like Audi, Mercedes, Porches, etc. Started to manufacture eclectic cars to compete in the electric car market. we can say that Tesla is the innovator of modern electric cars and Tesla is now proposing a similar innovation that can cut vehicle pollution while also allowing vehicles to be powered by a variety of energy sources, including nuclear and solar.

      Aj Abell in his report  “electric cars on the rise” in  Action News Now, shows how much people love electric cars. People are on the waitlist for 8 months to get their electric car. The biggest selling feature of electric cars is people can save as much as 4000$ in gasoline. In a survey of AAA, they found that one-fifth of an American thinks that their next vehicle will be an electric car. Electric cars are environment-friendly and cost-effective what makes consumers interested in electric cars.

The source is a news report where they interviewed a dealership manager and they show a AAA survey, which was what consumers think about electric cars. The video was short and informative. 

   Aj Abell covered national stories such as the Northern California Wildfires, the breaking of the Oroville Dam Spillway, and the search for Sherri Papini, among many others.
