Week 3 SOCI/4080 Assign
Journal: Evaluating Resources
Personal experience and perception lend a great deal to addressing a social issue. However, as individuals, there are limits to one’s knowledge on any topic. The ability to conduct research on a social issue allows for a more comprehensive perspective on multiple aspects of an issue, insight into the communities impacted, and lessons learned for other like-minded groups who have done similar work.
In this Journal Assignment, you explore the concept Discovery as it relates your group’s research on a social topic.
To prepare for this Assignment:
- Consider the assigned readings from the first 3 weeks of this course.
- Review the explanation of Walden University’s DEEP-C Model General Education Learning Outcome “Discovery” in the Syllabus.
- Consider “Discovery” as it relates to the work you are doing in this course.
- Bearing in mind the amount of information that is readily available in current times, think about how people involved in social movements of the past gained information on the social issue and related topics.
