Bad Posture
Bad posture is represented in both Amy Cuddy's article,"Your iPhone is Ruining Your Posture and your mood," and Jane E. Brody's article," Posture Affects Standing and Not just the Physical Kind," both of these articles are good explaining posture.

You can rely on what she writes because she has a good reputation.Cuddy is credible because now and days a lot of people use their phones and when they use them they tend to slouch.She introduces how phones can effect you. She uses sources to support her argument on how phones can be one reason your posture is bad.

Brody is a author on science and nutrition topics and reports extensively for The New York Times. She is called the "High Priestess of Health." She takes her personal experience to make examples of posture. She also uses different sources to support her argument on how posture can affect your health.

I prefer Cuddy's article,"Your iPhone is Ruining Your Posture and your mood." She focuses on one reason why we slouch, our phones. She connects the phones with physical and emotional ways. The way she organizes her paragraphs are good. She gives her argument then supports it by using evidence. Also at the end of her article she gives a counterargument and a rebuttal, she also restates her argument at the end. you can trust what she writes because she went to a really good school and is a

    In my one – one interaction I felt I could have improved my posture because when I was talking to Lora I was sat on a footstool so I was slouching abit. This may have given to Lora wrong impression. To improve my posture I could have sat upright and done something with my arms as they were just sitting there in front of me resting on my legs.

I have taken notice of my posture and for further interactions that…
