The paper on Commonplace follows the same structure that we followed with our ARP by making claims from their primary source and baking those claims with secondary sources. The primary source used is the coke product Coke Zero and how it affects your health. The secondary source used in the paper is the research done by the FDA and how it affects a person’s health. The way the information is presented is great because with every claim the writer backs up with evidence that supports their claims. If the author made a claims like this ingredient isn’t bad for you they backs that up with research done that can be tracked down yourself giving it more creditability.
