Iphone Is Ruining Your Posture-And Your Mood By Jane E. Brody
In the editorials "Your iPhone is Is Ruining Your posture - and Your Mood" by Amy and "Posture affects standing, and Not Just the Physical kind" by Jane E. Brody, the author that uses more credible evidence is Brody because she uses personal experience, and says the consequences with her evidence of it cited as well. Brody's evidence includes her own experience of why a person should not slouch, and uses evidence of the consequences from studies, and reports. Cuddy's evidence is based on how the use of smart phones can cause slouching and affect our moods, being an experience most of us could relate to.

of consequences from reports and experiments, this is possibly done for the readers to relate to. Evidence used for her personal experience is seen in the third and fourth paragraphs, where she says "As a short person who is prone to back pain, I have long been aware of the value of good posture...I bought my current vehicle…largely because I was immediately comfortable when I got behind the wheel for a test drive. My entire back was supported, so not a twinge was felt there." She shows here her argument being good since she uses the evidence here as a personal experience that people could relate to. Another piece of evidence used is in the seventh paragraph, where she mentions a study in San Francisco State University "In a study of 110 students at San Francisco State University, half of whom were told to walk in a slumped position and the other half to skip down a hall, the skippers had a lot more energy throughout the day," which shows the benefit of not slouching and not having good posture. Any repetitive or prolonged position “trains” the body's muscles and tendons to shorten or lengthen and places stress on bones and joints that can reshape them more or less permanently. Another piece of evidence used is from a report in The Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, which states "The longer people sit (or stand) without a change in position and movement, the more likely they will be to develop a postural backache," Brody makes her argument here believable, with evidence used and cited. This gives Brody an informational essay makng her argument very credible.
In the editorial "Your iPhone is Ruining Your Posture - and Your Mood" by Amy Cuddy, she explains her point as to how smartphones cause slouching and affect moods, this is an experience that possibly most of us could relate to.
A piece of evidence used is in her third paragraph which says “The average head weighs about 10 to 12 pounds. When we bend our necks forward 60 degrees, as we do to use our phones, the effective stress on our neck increases to 60 pounds — the weight of about five gallons of paint. When Mr. August started treating patients more than 30 years ago, he says he saw plenty of “dowagers' humps, where the upper back had frozen into a forward curve, in grandmothers and great-grandmothers.” Now he says he's seeing the same stoop in teenagers.” Using this evidence actually shows something actually happening in the real world, and something that us smartphone users have possibly experienced or seen. She also uses an everyday experience of us interacting with these objects which has its consequence in “while many of us spend hours every day using small mobile devices to increase our productivity and efficiency, interacting with these objects, even for short periods of time…reducing our assertiveness and undermining our productivity.” Using this type of information gives her an informative essay where most of us could relate due to her use of everyday life, and experiences we probably
had.
Brody is credible because her evidence comes from a personal experience, and reports of how slouching affects us and our bodies, and has her evidence more cited. Cuddy is credible as well because she uses evidence with good details and it can let us relate to those experiences because her use of evidence from how the smart phones cause slouching, makes most of us readers actually think about this. Both authors use different pieces of evidence making each very good at first reading.
In the editorials "Posture affects standing, and not just the physical kind" by Jane E. Brody, and "Your iPhone is Ruining Your Posture - and Your Mood" by Amy Cuddy, Brody uses more credible evidence. Brody cites her evidence from others who show how to solve your slouching problem,and uses her own personal experience. Overall, Brody give a solid and well made argument.
