Added some bold.

Article Evaluation:

Content:

- Everything was on topic, but it did seem it was lacking

- Make it sound more simplistic, lack of clarity shown

- very poor editing

- lack of structure and information

- links work

- bias noted, strong claims not backed with evidence

- it was marked as 'vandalism' and many people talk about the article and how to improve it

Rephrased a sentence on Make me a sandwich.

Our Team's top 5 options:

1. Digital Divide & the Middle East: We would like to talk about how their religious government structure impacts their idea of the internet and how it's distributed. Digital divide by country (we don't know what country yet)
2. Information Privacy and Advertising in the United States; What we can plan on talking about is how much advertisements should display and how the fine text plays an impact. Legal advertising in the United States
3. Digital Surveillance & Middle East: How much does the government watch what people say and how it impacts society. Censorship in the Middle East
4. Information Literacy & The Spread of Lies: The connection between lack of information literacy, information overload, and the lack of education to inform people what to believe/trust and whatnot on the internet. Information literacy
5. Social Networking & The Spread of advertisements: How social networking gave new access to people in different ages being sucked into buying products. Adolescents and food marketing

The gender digital divide in Middle Eastern countries causes women to have far less access to the internet than men. Statistically, women are held at lower standards in the Middle East, which is a reason for this digital division. Males are using the internet at a 47.7% rate with women at only 39.4%.
