Scholarly Article 1
Hanrahan, E. A., Huntoon Lindeman, M. I., & Finkelstein, L. M. (2017). Discounting seniors: Implications of age stereotypes at work. Translational Issues in Psychological Science, 3(4), 370–377. https://doi-org.proxy-library.ashford.edu/10.1037/tps0000132
The above source is a literature review article from the American Psychological Association on the implications of age stereotypes. In the journal, the thesis statement is "assessing how ageism in the workplace is detrimental to interpersonal relationships with colleagues and organizational outcomes." In support of the thesis statement, the authors raise various claims that support the thesis statement. One of the assertions in the article is issues caused by ageism within the organization may have adverse effects on the employees and the overall organization. Another claim is that establishing and building positive relations within the organization improve the functionality of the organization.
The authors have been able to support the thesis through the various claims they raise in the article. The authors have also been able to use current information to come up with a literature review of the material. The data used by the authors is within five years from the time the literature review on the topic was published. The source is credible since the authors are professionals in the field of study where the article was published. The cause was able to answer the research question because it presents evidence that supports my research question.
Scholarly Article 2
Barrington, L. (2015). Ageism and Bias in the American Workplace. Generations, 39(3), 34–38.
The source above is an article from American society on aging. The central claim in the article is that "ageist thinking is far too prevalent in American workplaces." To support the main claim, the author discusses various topics such as Ageist bias in hiring, performance, and unemployment, and also the issue of ageist workplace myths. Other claims in the article involve a discussion of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 and its impact on ageism.
The author has been able to support the thesis statement by discussing various issues related to ageism. The author has used sources that are current and non-current. The non-current sources have been used to showcase the trend of ageism related issues in America. The author is credible since she holds a Ph.D. in public relations. The limitation noted in the source is that it does not provide a solution to the American workplace's ageism problem. The source helped answer my topic since it answers various issues on ageism in the workplace.

The information in the source is current enough to offer substantial support to my topic of research. Todd D. Nelson is a well-recognized scholar in human relations hence making the source credible.
