3. the main thesis of this page is that men suffer from depression but are less likely to do anything about it.

4. 49% of men feel more depressed than they admit to others. men are 4 times as likely to die by suicide then women. men are actively encouraged to not reach out about mental health issues. normative male alexithymia prevents many men from reaching out. many men lack a means to get support for mental health issues.

5. i'd use this site as further proof that men are less supported by society when it comes to mental health.

They used surveys to help gather data from college students to learn more about sources of stress and how that relates to mental health. In this articles discussion, they come to conclusions about the relationship of stress and mental health.

Thesis - "Some would argue they should not be entitled to that kind of wealth and I would have to agree"

• "For athletes to get paid at this rate compared to doctors who save lives on a daily basis is unreal"

3:

While progress has been made in the 50 years since Title IX, women still face many inequalities in sports compared to men.

4:

This source points out that:

• women receive significantly less athletic opportunities than men

• few high schools have a "strong record" of complying to Title IX

• Few people in positions of power are knowledgeable about Title IX

• why gender inequities still exist in sports

• the effect sport inequality has on women's mental health

• transgender people and the issues they face in sports

5:

Thesis (Yes)

"The main problem is the huge amount of money involved in professional sport"(Sepctor 23).

Thesis (No)

"Players' salaries are simply their share of all the cash these hugely successful businesses bring in" (Bowen 23).

Argument (Yes)

• Huge amount of money involved in professional sports that is raked in by the league and team owners

• Fans shell out big money just to attend the events

• Deals made with cable, TV, and streaming networks pay out billions

• Maybe a special tax should be applied to help fund salaries for jobs that benefit the public

Argument (No)

• Years of hard work to only work a lifespan of 5-10 years compared to 40-50 years for other jobs

• Not everyone makes that much money, it can range from $500,00 to only $16,000

• Lower salaries wouldn't mean less money, it would just mean less money to players and more money to the businesses

3. the sources thesis/ claim is that since men ignore seeking help because society made it a masculine norms to suck it up, their mental health gets worse and nobody notices or help.

Males mental health is overlooked and ignored by society. Depression and suicide are ranked as a leading cause of death among men. "Men at a staggering 79% of 38,364 die by suicide at a rate four times higher than women." (Chatmon) . Within different cultures individuals with mental illnesses are considered weak or broken. Society has created this norm that men shouldn't talk about their feelings and its killing them, this could cause substance abuse, depression, interpersonal violence, issues with seeking help and dating (Chatmon).

Gambling using a mobile phone may be a byproduct of social media style pursuit of dopamine. There are few safety-nets for college students to fall back on, and not enough resources for young gamblers to reach out to for help.

5. I would use this source to express how dangerous new forms of gambling can be to young people.

3. Women also struggle with mental illness and receiving a misdiagnosis due to their behaviors. Physical effects in the body can be the cause of it.

   
   

4. This source states:

   • "That women from many non western cultures may hence not distinguish between the emotions of anxiety, irritability and depression because they tend to express distress in somatic terms or they may organise their concepts of dysphoria in ways different from western ones..."

   • "Explain the genesis of somatoform symptoms, conversion and dissociation which include the central effects of inflammatory and immune mediators and the role of female sex hormones as stress-immune system interactions."

Audience: The target audience could possibly be young people who are of gambling age, but the intended audience could likely just be anyone, since it is a pretty wide ranging issue. There would not be an unintended audience either.

Time/Place: This work was published on February 1, 2022, very recent and the problem is still relatively the same. This piece was written four years after sports betting officially became legal in the United States in 2018 (with some states being exceptions). Betting on sports today is legal in 38 states.

Medium: This work is in the form of an article written online.

The audience would most likely be people who enjoy different statistics about soccer and people who relate to it.

The purpose of this article is to inform people about the World Cup, it goes onto tell you about different statistics like how many social media engagements there were and things like that.

This was written in January of 2023, so just a few weeks after the World Cup final had took place and they had gathered this kind of data.

It's an online article for anyone to read and it's free.

The audience of this article are readers of popular website Healthline.

The purpose of this article is to point out that while Title IX has improved equality in sports, it has not yet fulfilled it's intended purpose of ending sex discrimination in any organization receiving federal financial assistance.

The time of this article is significant because it was written and published in June 23 2022, 50 years to the day after Title IX was signed into law.

This article is significant in the United States, because it's about a specific law that was signed into federal law in the United States, and therefore isn't applicable to other parts of the world.

The medium of this is an article published on a well-known website open to the public.

The audience for this article is anyone who is interested in sports, and specifically women who are.

The main purpose for this is to inform people on the gender bias when it comes to sports and raise awareness of the challenge that women face is they want to get involved in them.

The place is originally focusing on China, but they also include studies from around the world such as England, and also information from the Olympics which is an international event. As for the time, this was written in April of 2021.

This was written on Sage Journals, volume 9, issue 2, published electronically.

3. Seeking treatment for female mental health sounds easier than it looks, but factors such as finances, ethnicity, and education are causing why not all women can get access to the treatments they need.

   
   

4. Female willingness to seek mental health care is seen to be easier compared to most men. There is a smaller negative stigma around females seeking mental help because many women are commonly known to express how they are feeling and are more open-minded to seek alternatives.

   • "Perhaps the most prominent theory of the mental health gender gap is that women are more willing to seek treatment when encountering issues."

   • "Women often make less money and do not hold authoritative positions within companies or organizations."

     
     

   • This is a good source to use because it discusses not only the reasons why women are more likely to reach out for mental help but also several causes that prompt women to want to seek out help for physical, financial, and business reasons.

3. Social media, popular amongst most people can cause an uprise in depression and other mental health issues, and decreases in social interactions.

4. A frequent usage of social media causes depression and makes "typical" social interactions obsolete, all while making self-esteem low.

5. I would use this source to show that social media is having a bad overall effect on people. Social media is affecting day to day tasks now and not just in the long term.
