British Naturism - Homepage - 0 views

shared by meredikf on 06 Nov 14 - No Cached
  •  
    British Naturism is the representative body for Naturists in the UK. I want to share my subculture with the group and some of the research that I am doing. Just a heads up, there are naked people on this site! If you want to know a little more about naturism, take a look. Under the campaigning drop down tab you can find what Naturists are all about. I think many people are grossed out or laugh at nudists but as I research them I am realizing that there are many things that they stand for that I agree with. Check it out!

How to Choose Good Sources for College Papers - 0 views

  •  
    There are many types of sources that you could use in your papers (journal articles, books, newspapers, interviews, etc.), but not all of them are good sources. Good sources give you reliable, accurate information based on real research. I thought this was interesting, seeing as we are all looking for reliable resources for our explanatory essays.

    I found this article very interesting and relevant because the rhetor brought in many sources to look at both sides of the argument being discussed. Another thing I noticed was everything that was said was backed up by a creditable source.

I thought this was helpful.
