About me

My name is Jiwon Lee, and I'm a student at Everett Community College. I recently became interested in many social issues and discrimination, especially environmental issues, racism, and feminism. I think that these interests were brought about a year of living abroad. While I was in a foreign country, I experienced them directly and indirectly and became aware of social issues that I thought were unrelated to. 

My Wikipedia interest

As stated above, I'm interested in environmental issues, and various social issues. I also like to deal with politics, history, and international relations. I am generally interested in humanities and have a desire to learn them.

Article Evaluation

Coupang

The article I am going to deal with is Coupang, which is a South Korean e-commerce company based in Seoul, South Korea, and incorporated in Delaware, United States. I visited the Coupang article on Wikipedia, and found three aspects of it worth commenting on: viewpoint, neutrality, and reliability.

This article seems to be over-represented in some ways, especially the time it takes for Coupang to deliver the product. There is a part that Coupang claims that 99.6 percent of its orders are delivered within 24 hours in this article. As a consumer of Coupang, I often had not been received the products I ordered within 24 hours, even though I used Rocket Delivery. Therefore, I have a suspicion of the claim which 99.6 percent of their orders are delivered within 24 hours. I acknowledge, of course, the rapid delivery of Coupang, but only doubt the number of 99.6 percent.

I personally have doubts about the neutrality of the article. It seems to have relatively emphasized Coupang’s strengths in focusing on outstanding services and technologies rather than on negative aspects such as controversies and shortcomings. The reason why I think of partiality about it is there is a lot less content of controversy than service. The content of controversy in this article is only about the Rocket Delivery, which is Coupang purchases and delivers one ton of trucks for delivery as private cars, not for freight transportation. I think a variety of cases should be added to the controversy, including false advertising, obstruction of union foundation, group infection of Covid-19, and the death of the logistics center.

According to the article, the cited sources are Forbes, CNBC, Financial Times, CNN, Bloomberg, Barron’s, Wall Street Journal, The Korea Herald, Business Korea, and so on. These are the sources which have public confident and many people’s trust. As a foreigner, I am aware of the sources that I have mentioned.

I evaluate this article about the three aspects; viewpoint, neutrality, and reliability. I personally think this article is overestimated in some ways and it has a biased side to it. I think these parts need to be supplement. However, the sources cited in this article is reliable and credible.
