Unit 4

1) Is a vegetarian diet healthier than a meat-based diet?

I personally like to start with a broad search engine like Google or Wikiapedia to get a good feel on my topic at hand. After getting to know some information about the subject, I would then move on to a scholarly web engine (like GVRL) to get the hard  facts on the subject.

2) Target often forces musicians to alter lyrics in order to have their CDs sold in Target stores. Is this censorship?

Since this seems to be an opinion based question, reading a magazine article on censorship can help get you educated on the material. Moving on, a subject encyclopedia has great background information for finding other arguments on censorship.

3) How much more can a college graduate expect to earn over someone with a high school diploma?

This question seems to be wanting hard facts. Therefore, I would skip browsing and go straight to a reference book to get raw statistical information over the years of college and high school diploma jobs.

4) Should educators use commercial services to combat plagiarism?

In regards to this question, I would consult a book or maybe a newspaper article on the subject of online plagiarism detection. Unfortunately, students also have access to some of these tools, which allow them to circumvent the recognition of plagiarism.

5) Is the current lack of sunspot activity affecting global warming?

Using up to date astronomical data would be key in deciding whether or not sunspot activity was affecting global warming. Therefore, I would form my opinion based on current observations of the sun's activity. This would most likely be found in current scientific news websites.

1)How is the internet helping Globalization?

The free flow of information allows people across to be informed about a wide variety of information. This allows people to make informed decisions in regards to their daily well being. Books can help in a historical fashion allowing you to look in the past to see how people commutated in the past and the out comes. further more, using media based data can show how people are commutating now.

 

2)what are the implications of free information?

The world wide web lets us view free information with just a click of a button. The only downside to this is not always knowing if the information is current or even accurate. Searching the internet and checking all your sources can help develope an understanding of the subject. In addition, using a modern source can see the implications of a good vs evil aspect on this subject.

 

3)How has the internet changed the way people communicate?

In todays internet savey society its easy enough to send a E-mail to your teacher or Skype your grandparents a thousand miles away. However somebody can have a few hundred friends on Facebook but never leaves the house and hangout personly with any of them. Looking for articles on society can help inform you how people interact with one another. Even more, viewing online statistical sources can show you trends on how people communicate in the past and present.
