When I started my writing classes, I discovered the difference between scholarly and non-scholarly articles. Both articles contain the same information about alcohol. The difference between the two articles shows whether the article is real as well as which quotes come from other people and relate to the articles. The two articles I will use are from WebMD and the Journal of American College Health. Both articles focused on the differences between students who habitually drink and those who celebrate drinking. Typical drinking is when a person has no reason to drink and celebrating drinking is when a person drinks for special occasions. The two articles cover many similar topics; However, the two articles present different ways of discussing opinions, facts and information which may be weak or strong. The article can be weak or strong because it depends on how and how the author supports their information. In the first article, WebMD is a non-scientific article. The reason this is not a scientific article is that it does not begin with an abstract. A summary is essentially a hypothesis about the experience based on the subject. The WebMD article talks about the differences between typical drinking and celebratory drinking. The article used information from different fields that gave statistics on celebrated drinking versus typical drinking. The evidence in the article is strong because the author has many examples to support some of the information in the WebMD article. WebMD is a website based on the opinions of others and not on facts. WebMD based its information on quotes from other people for example; Larry Hembroff told this website: “We found this article in the middle of a scientific article because it came from a peer-reviewed journal and was not stolen from the researcher. Additionally, using the scientific article can provide better information to use as examples. As I said in the previous paragraphs, the articles may have a similar topic, namely the difference between typical drinking and celebrating drinking; however, the two articles have different writing styles. Different article types can have the same topic but different voices. Works Cited “Campus Party Drinking Culture.” WebMD - Better Information. Better health. Internet.
