For my third source, I will be using a YouTube video/ podcast titled “Cancel Culture, Guilt, and Shame” by Abdu Murray. I consider Abdu Murray to be a qualified source. Regarding the CRAAP model, it is current in that it premiered only five months ago, on April 16, 2020. It is relevant in that it discusses the issue and history of Guilt and Shame culture nationwide and worldwide. Abdu Murray has authority to cover this topic because he is senior vice president of Ravi Zacharias International Ministries, an organization that frequently discusses controversial modern day issues, the author of four books, and, as an attorney, was named several times in Best Lawyers in America and Michigan Super Lawyer. I feel being a lawyer adds to his credibility and authority because it gives him argumentative, defensive experience when discussing claims. Murray uses past experiences, as well as social observations, for evidence or accuracy. Lastly, this video satisfies the “purpose” of the CRAAP model in that it directly talks about the issue of a guilt or shame culture. Additionally, the multi-media source can relate to my chosen New York Times article because Murray discusses the status and impact of social media within such cultures.
