So first you find your research of the the topic you are looking for and you evaluate your believability. When you are evaluating information, you look at the author and where it is published. Government websites, peer reviewed journals, google scholar, and EBSCOHOST are much reliable sources than any other websites. Finally when you evaluate you have to support your writing by proper documentation. This means you have to cite your sources and have to use citation machine to properly cite my sources.…

When looking at secondary sources one must take a different view than when analyzing a primary source. There are several credentials that must be met for a truly reliable secondary source. First, who is the author, are there any authors, or was a university or nonprofit responsible for the source? Second, who published the source, is it a website, a journal or a book? Third, who is this source geared toward and what does it want its audience to know or understand?…
These sources they use are broken down into two categories, there are primary sources and secondary sources. Primary sources are usually documents directly from the time period of a certain event while secondary sources are findings from the primary sources (Finding Secondary 1) . Primaries are usually vivid and have a feeling of being more personal to the reader. The reader sees the raw information and is free to make their own decision on how they feel about a certain events.

Four reasons why we need to reference work from authors? • Avoiding plagiarism can be done by referencing .This means when you reference you acknowledge the work of the author but not stealing it word by word and make it yours. • Referencing can be useful to support your argument .This will make your argument more interesting to the reader.…
Source four is the best article because it has the some more recent information and it is from a notable source, Mayo Clinic. Another aspect of this source that none of the other ones had, was that it had a section at the bottom where all the information was found, and who it was found from. The second reason I believe this source is better than the rest is due to the fact that the author doesn’t seem to have any type of bias leaning towards pro or against the use of marijuana. The author also doesn’t seem to take anything for granted, she/he explains different uses for marijuana and how it can be interpreted. He/she explains what the use of medical cannabis is used for, and how recreational drug use is also still common today, and why it’s…
In todays society many articles and writings may not always be true, it’s always difficult to find credible sources. In the three articles “Why Nice Guys Finish Last” by Julia Serano, “Visible Man: Ethics in a World without Secrets” by Peter Singer, and “The Weirdest People in the World” by Joseph Henrich, they all represent different ways of how a source can be credible. Many authors and writers strive to make their work and sources credible for the audience, which is why using personal experience, developing a strong tone, and using hard evidence helps to make a source credible. In order to make a source seem more credible, many authors and writers will use their own personal experience.…

I also found ways to provide credibility to my sources. For example, I used “Jill Curren (2007), a nurse practitioner” to provide credibility. I also used my sources to support and negate my claims. All during this time, I was having to think critically as to how this source effectively fits into a specific category or whether or not I am making it understandable for everyone to read and understand. The peer review of this assignment was very beneficial.…

Gossips & Rumors Kaknika Viset Our topic we researched dealt with the correlation between people spreading gossip and rumors about each other and how their relationships are affected. The predicament that we are most attentive in learning about is why people tell rumors about others and how it affects their relationships. From what we have learned from our pre collected data is that not limited to just in school, but that some people spread rumors as a way to intimidate others and gain status or popularity. Bystanders may become less friendly to the person who is being talked about. Some sites suggested even though they are less active with the targeted, that does not necessarily mean they…
"The service (task) of truth ought to be, our objectivity, our method, our calm, cautious and distrustful manner were altogether despicable.” [FNWP34] 006.30 What is Objectivity at individuality level ## the doctrine of objectivity does not differentiate object of attention / observation of object created from the Real Thing; Show that it is the same thing, since RT is APPEARANCE/ OBJECT when observed, to observe is the USE, the service of truth ought to be, our objectivity, our method, our calm, cautious and distrustful manner were altogether despicable.” [FNWP34] Commentary: Nietzsche, however, does not define objectivity as he understands it.
