FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): EX: The article cites Maria Nikolajeva, a professor of at Cambridge, as saying that Bella does not "in any way promote independent thinking or personal development" in women, instead portraying a woman "meek and willing to do anything for her vampire boyfriend" (POV). |
Kenneshaw Georgia is unique because "In 1982 Kennesaw City Council unanimously passed an ordinance requiring households to own at least one firearm with ammunition." |
The purpose of the ordinance was to "protect the safety, security and the general welfare of the city and its inhabitants." |
Since over 30 years has passed the law is considered a major success in 2008 "31 violent crimes – mainly robberies and aggravated assaults were commited during 2008. In other similar-sized local towns the figures were much higher – 127 in Dalton and 188 in Hinesville. For property crimes – largely burglaries and thefts – Kennesaw recorded 555 while Dalton had 1,124 and Hinesville 1,802. |
Even with so many guns in a town with a population of around 40,000 "firearms are involved in less than 2% of the crime per year." |
There are still some exceptions to the law, "conscientious objectors, felons, mentallly disabled and people who can not afford a gun." are exempt from the law. |
Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION):
Finacial Times magazine wrote the article on a town in America where owning a firearm is actually maditory and conterary to what liberals thought, crime is dropped drastically. Further more a study took shown that people feel safer in their homes than in many cities where gun restrictions are in place. Credibility of Source:
The author is a credible source as they a a news agency whose readership depends on how real their articles are.
Attachment: Does the author or site have anything to gain from writing this, or is it simply informative? For example, is it a cigarette business posting an article about the benefit of cigarettes, or is it a scientific community unaffiliated with the cigarette business?
The web site has nothing to gain from this article as they dont have anything to gain from writing it and they do not sell firearms, ammo, or any shooting accessories.Bias: Do you detect a bias (a favoring of either side) in the author's writing?
I do not detect a bias to either side with the authors writing.References: Does the author cite references in the writing? If so, do these add or take away from the credibility?
Yes the author cites many sources from the police chief to many gun owning citizens and how the law affects their daily lives in a good way.Use of Source: How will you use this source in your project?
I will use this source to prove that the people seeking gun control to lower crime are wrong, infact allowing people to own guns is a step to reducing crime and making people feel safe in their home again.
