ARTICLE DRAFT:

Global Data Mining:

Data mining helps people examine information and generate new information based on previous findings. Global data mining, data mining on a larger scale, can be used to examine data from around the world to create a wider range of new, possibly more useful content depending on the situiation. Global data mining partnered with business helps companies develop plans of action. On a global scale, results can vary more and be more advantageous for businesses looking to work on a more global market. Global data mining can also help save time, money and other resources. Globally, there is a price difference depending on how much data a company wants and for how long they want to be supplied with the information. Mining also helps companies save money therefore saving their customars save money as they can drop product prices.Merck-Medco Managed Care was able to save customers 10%-15% by cutting costs due to more effcient drug expendatures due to data mining.[1] In some countries it is illegal to use data mining for anything other than "scientific research." There are many different ways to use global data mining such as for games, business, science and engineering, human rights, medical research and mcuh more[2]. Examples of countries who allow more general data mining for things other than "scientific research."

Things to Possibly Add/Look Into::

-more diverse sentence structure

-link key words to other articles

-add dollar amounts “it is a * billion dollar industry” “marketers spend * dollars on data mining(across the globe, specific countries, continents, demographics)”

-(better) definition of data mining

-where data mining servers are located globally?

-how it contributes to the foreign economy because many US organizations outsource their servers

-What do different regions use data mining for?

- Try a more concise definition for your lead. Seems a bit too complex for your lead. I thought you did a great job giving a broad overview of the topic. Lastly, I would add information about which companies use global data mining.

We will be adding a section entitled: Global Data Mining to put the topic on an even more global scale and what different regions use data mining for.

The People utilizing Data Mining:

Insurances

-Insurances use data mining to competitively place their prices to compete with other insurances. They can also use data mining to protect from fraud

Manufacturers

-Data mining in manufacturing allows for manufacturers to predict demand vs supply. So they can accurately predict how much people will want so they can create a desired amount of product.

Article Evaluation:

C-class article, Talk: Addiction

I found it really interesting and helpful that at the top of the article they have missing concepts where they know what needs to be added and others can help and quickly understand how to collaborate.

I found it slightly hard to follow since this article is a work in progress but I also found it very helpful to see the beginning stages of an article. I really liked how they put notes everywhere of ways they could improve the article and it helped me better visualize how I will have to begin doing projects for my class.

Nothing was out of date, instead it was very recent which I enjoyed.

Things of course were missing because it was a new article that the writer is working on but I think the writer knows where they are going with the article and what information they need due to the many notes put throughout.

Overall, I think a lot could be improved simply because there is a lot missing. However, I think once the article is finished, it will be a thorough with many reliant and recent studies.

The article seems neutral so far. I think that because its halfway finished there are parts that are over represented. Hopefully, It will be well balanced once finished.

There are conversations going on in the article of ways to improve it and I am very happy I came across this article because I think it will benefit my future writing and ability to piece my writing together efficiently.

The sources were working and seemed more factual than biased. Most were studies done on addiction by accredit-able sources.

A question I would have is, under the "National Summit" part of the article, people were debating whether or not it would relate to the article and if it did it would need to address the fact that addiction was a chronic illness and not a moral failing. Could it not be both? Some people grow up in households and are exposed to drugs from a young age before their brains are fully developed and are lacking a moral compass, therefore in those situations I believe it could be seen as a chronic illness within our society. However, I could also see it being a moral failing of adults that choose to try drugs. Drugs are usually a coping mechanism people use as a response to an untreated mental illness and that could also argue the point that drug use is a symptom of untreated chronic illness.
