Cooper, A and Kurzer, P, Consumer Activism, EU Institutions and Global Markets: The Struggle over Biotech Foods. Journal of Public Policy [online] May, 2007, p. 103. JSTOR. http://www.jstor.org.ezproxy1.library.arizona.edu/stable/40072017 (accessed Sep 3, 2015)

The article was written to examine and further the academic discussion about how the populace can over rule  large institutions if they band together and refuse to cooperate with the institution. The information was gathered by examining how EU decrees about GMOs were cancelled out by the actions of the European public. It concludes that in order for large institution's degrees to work, they have to have at least a moderate amount of public support. I can use this source to highlight the opposition to genetically modified foods.

This article was written to answer questions people have about genetically modified foods. The article gets its point across by answering questions. It states that many of the fears about GMOs are unfounded. I can use this article to  examine how the pro-GMO side of the debate tries to allay the fears of the anti-GMO side.

Reflection: After reading Davis's and Dieter's annotated bibliography drafts, I came to realize that most, if not all, citation styles require the same basic information. All three of us, despite using different citation styles, had the same general format and most of differences were small stylistic variances; such as whether to use italics or regular font. This led me to ask why, if so may styles are so similar, one single type of citation hasn't been adapted to fit a wide variety of subjects; To me this seems like it would simplify the writing process without being detrimental to its integrity, and therefore, a good thing.
