webzines

We have alot of problematic issues for the webzine so maybe a topic like that . Also we have alot of illnesses or health issues so that would be good to. I don't know what kind of title we should have yet, but it has to be something that's going to grab the attention of people who will come across it to keep reading it.

summary

Taber, A. (1999). ‘Roid rage. Salon.com: Health & Body http://www.salon.com/health/feature/1999/11/18/steroids
This article is a vague reference to everything around my topic. Some of the small effects, and a little history of everything surrounding steroids.


Kuipers, H. (1998). Anabolic steroids: side effects. In: Encyclopedia of Sports Medicine and Science, T.D.Fahey (Editor). Internet Society for Sport Science: http://sportsci.org. 7 March 1998.

The article goes into depth very well about the effects of steroids.

200 word Topic

The topic I am doing for my web texts is steroid use in sports. I am interested in this because in the world right now their is so much contraversey surrounding this topic. In baseball there are super star players who are being blamed or have admitted to steroid use. These players names have been soiled and aren't going to be put into the hall of fame. I understand that their are players who made it the hard way with hard work, but is the fact that these players did steroids enough to ban them from glory? I want to find out if steroids are really that bad for you. I know yes the people that go crazy with them it will harm them for sure, but in moderation can steroids help an athlete and possibly make the sport more exciting? I think my audience will be very interested in the topic. Anyone who watches pretty much any sport this subject has came up. Alot of men and young people would be the main audience. They would be especially interested in this because alot of guys watch sports. Not only do they watch them but them participate in them. They possibly could of came across this issue themselves in their life time faced with a decision. It would appeal to young people easily because of the sports aspect and the face that its something dangerous.
