Why Rumors Outrace the Truth Online - 0 views

  •  
    This article explains how sometimes Rumors can take the advantage over the actual story. How even when the real facts are on reliable sources, false claims published by untrusted authors can sometimes take the public over. I thought it was interesting because when creating my website for segment 4, its crazy to think it could become impact the views of other researchers if published on the web.

  •  
    Tips for getting better results while researching online, specifically google.

Research papers need Argument and Evidence - 1 views

  •  
    Its an article which questions whether most research papers are being written on false distinction. His main argument is with modern research engines, students are no longer learning the intended message and it only takes a few minutes to put together papers that look like hours in the library. Therefore they become useless for learning.
  •  
    I disagree with the author, the availability of information through the internet is fast compared to a library which can be bad but it is also vast. There is an abundance of perspectives that the internet gives you access to where there is a limit in the physical sense. It all depends on who is doing the research, not how easy information is accessed.

Brittany Maynard, terminally ill cancer patient, has died - 1 views

  •  
    A pretty controversial issue right now. I thought it was neat how it talks about audiences and how changing the audience effected the situation.
  •  
    Everything is controversial but the only thing that matters is the person, group, etc. in question. She has the right to choose and if she was in that much pain daily, she made the right choice with the medicinal aid.
