[1 point] Part B) Use the internet to find more information on the claim that social media use causes or correlates with depression diagnosis by answering the following: 1) Describe the internet tools (what search engine?) you used for your search AND the SPECIFIC search terms used. [0.5 point each] 2) Find ONE website that SUPPORTS this claim AND also find ONE website that REFUTES (does not support) this claim or offers an alternative explanation for why depression rates are on the rise. Bookmark these two websites because you must paste their URL into this part of your answer in the Homework 1 Quiz. [0.5 point each] 3) Give a brief summary of the information you found AT EACH website about this claim. [1 point each] 4) Which of these two websites appears more trustworthy? Identify at least TWO specific features or attributes of that website that made you trust their information more.
