FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): EX: The article cites Maria Nikolajeva, a professor of at Cambridge, as saying that Bella does not "in any way promote independent thinking or personal development" in women, instead portraying a woman "meek and willing to do anything for her vampire boyfriend" (POV). |
Due to the Civil War, many "servicemen suffered from postwar trauma" causing them to build a mental illness (Leupo). |
Since there were so many men in the Civil War that were having mental illness problems, the asylums were becoming over crowded and to treat the patients fast a "new drug treatments such as opium" was introduced.(Leupo) |
"The institution grew into a very efficient community housing farms, a dairy barn, greenhouses, a transportation system, graveyards" and the patients that lived in the institution would take part in helping with the activities to run smoothly just like as if they were living with a family and basically have chores.(Leupo) |
It was not uncommon for "homeless people, tramps and hobos to become ‘patients’ of the asylums seasonally for shelter and food, and then "elope," or slip away when the good weather returned" so that they would not have to deal with the horrible weather that they would normally have to go though.(Leupo) |
The overcrowding of the asylums were growing into mass amounts of people that it was a way of " an easy means to remove unwanted people from society"(Leupo). |
Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION):
This websites takes place in earlier years of Europe. It talks about how people were treated in the asylums, and how and why it was overcrowded all the time. It also describes the old treatments that they would try on patients to make the 'craziness' be cured.

The author of this site is Kimberly Leupo, I could not find any information on her. But the purpose of this site is to inform the people how times have changed from medical treatment, to cures, and even the way the patients are treated.
Attachment: Does the author or site have anything to gain from writing this, or is it simply informative? For example, is it a cigarette business posting an article about the benefit of cigarettes, or is it a scientific community unaffiliated with the cigarette business?
The author does not have anything to gain from this writing, it is just informative about the history of asylums for people with mental health.
Do you detect a bias (a favoring of either side) in the author's writing?
Back in the days of around the early and mid 19th century society looked down upon people with a mental disorder, and would send all the people to asylums basically to just get rid of the weak.
References: Does the author cite references in the writing? If so, do these add or take away from the credibility?

The author does givea reference to a book called 'Ten Days in a Mad-House'. It is a diary of a reporter who during the time of the late 1800s and the early 1900s went on a mission to pretend to have a mental disorder to be put into an asylum and write a report of the ten days she spend in the asylum. This book added credibility to the article because it gives you first hand information.
Use of Source: How will you use this source in your project
For my project I am going to buy the book 'Ten Days in a Mad-House' to get a better understanding of the history of mental health. And to also explain how people were treated and the depth of the treatments that were practiced.

In society "People with mental health problems face poverty, homelessness and unemployment due to discrimination in the workplace and the benefits system." |
Because people with mental Illnesses are being discriminated against it is "undermining the ability of people with mental health problems to cope with everyday life and often exacerbated their illness." |
People with mental health issues are being " treated unsympathetically by doctors assessing their claims for incapacity benefit." |
People with mental health issues "who believed they were protected by insurance cover for loss of earnings due to illness found that insurance companies refused to pay out on claims involving mental illness." |
These people felt like they were being "comprehensively neglected and ignored." |
Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION):
The people with mental health issues are feeling as if they are not being treated as equally as someone else who is completely healthy. Some people with mental health issues are being tricked into thinking that their insurance companies are helping them pay for their medical bills, but they are really just leaving them to pay for it themselves.
