Blog 8 Popluar magazine vs. scholarly journal

When I first started doing this, I struggled to find a magazine article that covered Down Syndrome, espeically a popular magazine.  I had to dig through google quite a bit to try and find something, but eventually did!  I choose an artcile from Times magazine, the APA citation is

Rochman, B. (2012, February 17). Why down syndrome is on the decline. Family Matters, Retrieved from http://healthland.time.com/2012/02/17/why-down-syndrome-is-on-the-decline/

I then found a scholarly journal about Down syndrome, and the APA citation for that is

Chapman, R. S. (1997), Language development in children and adolescents with Down syndrome. Ment. Retard. Dev. Disabil. Res. Rev., 3: 307–312. doi: 10.1002/(SICI)1098-2779(1997)3:4<307::AID-MRDD5>3.0.CO;2-K

The main difference between the two is their language, and I don't mean if they use English or not.  In the popular magazie, the author writes in a way that everyone can understand, and the author takes on a viewpoint in the article.  In the scholarly journal, the author is writting in a very scientific way, so it's possible that not everyone would understand what they are talking about.  They always write very matter of factly, so it's not as personal to read.
