Now it is time to read the article.  Generally, you can access the article's full text by clicking "Access now" as pictured in the screenshot above.

In the space provided on the assessment page, compose a 50-150word summary in your ownWords after reading the article that addresses these concepts: (40 points)

• State the main point of the article in your ownWords.
• Analyze the article for 1-2 main points, and summarize them in your ownWords.
• Describe the conclusion of the article.
• Create the in-text citation for the source.  As demonstrated in your lecture, in-text citation should go immediately after any sentence in which you use information from a source.  It does not matter if we paraphrase, quote, or summarize -- we must give credit.  Basic in-text citation includes the author's last name, the year created, published, copyrighted, etc., and a page or paragraph number if taken from one of those specific places.  Using the sample source from above, the citation is (Carlberg, 1983, p. 74).  When combined with, for example, a summary or paraphrase, it would look like: Videos can be a good way to learn (Carlberg, 1983, p. 74).
• CreateA reference for the source.  References are longer than in-text citations and show up as an alphabetical list at the end an essay or paper in which we have sources.  Using the sample source again, the reference would be:

Carlberg, S. (1983, December).  Tapping the video work-study resource.  Training & development journal, 37 (12), 74-78.  EBSCOhost database.

Make note of some details: use only the first initial of the author's first name, use the full date with the year first, use both the article and journal titles, use only the numbers for volume, issue, and page range, and if it is from the Virtual Library, state EBSCOhost database (or other appropriate database).

Perspective HOWARD WILLIAMSON IN MY VIEW Time to question the values that guide society As the Home Secretary commits herself to greater "harassment" of those suspected of knife and gun crime and the Prime Minister seeks to get back on the front foot through announcing another raft of policy initiatives, we may have missed the courageous and poignant lone voices calling out for another path. These came from the parents of Jimmy Mizen, stabbed by a shard of glass the day after his 16th birthday. The indi- vidual charged with his murder is just 19. It is quite understandable when parents who experience such tragedy call out for retribution. It is almost the natural reaction and we should bear with it. It is equally understandable, but far less tolerable, when politicians leap on the band- wagon and fuel the fire of populist feeling seek- ing longer and tougher punishment. That may be part of a package to deal with the problem but, alone, it will not get us far. The perpetrators of such crimes are often already too accustomed to the harshness and brutalities of this world. And this is why we should welcome the magnificence of Mr and Mrs the rest of her family" Mizen's words. They do not have any specific answers, as they themselves have accepted. But, at Jimmy's memorial service, Margaret Mizen was adamant that feelings of anger and bitter ness would not be allowed to destroy the rest of her family. Barry Mizen went further, appeal- ing to the media to leave the family of Jimmy's alleged murderer alone. He questioned whether more legislation was the right course of action, arguing instead for some soulsearching about the values that guide us, the choices we make and made the significant point that parents can only do so much; young people also have to take responsibility. "Margaret Mizen was adamant that feelings of Barry Mizen left it there, probably only too aware that private sadness could, in many ways, very easily be exploited for public advantage. Yet I am sure he was alluding to the fact that in politics and the labour market and especially in the burgeoning media (TV, radio, internet, music), values of mutuality, consideration and trust are constantly subordinated in favour of individualism, self-interest and suspicion. The violent crime, especially the knife and gun crime, often perpetrated in our major cit- ies by young people on other young people has gripped the popular imagination. It is easy to get caught up in the images of guns, gangs and weapons. But it is not "out there": it is intrinsically connected to our wider culture and it is that to which the Mizens were coura- geously referring anger and bitterness would Howard Williamson is professor of European not be allowed to destroy youth policy at the University of Glamorgan, and a member of the Youth Justice Board, Email howard williamson@haymarket.com
