Research Process


I’m finding my sources by using the internet also I’m going to the library to find books and outside information. I’m also looking up at past articles that relate to my topic. I’m also using skyline but I find it hard to narrow the things down to my main research question due to all the information that you get from skyline.   Next I’m going to talk about the process of when it comes down to looking up for the information.
The type of sources that I’m having the easiest time to find is internet websites. I find the internet websites easier because there is just so much information. But yet it’s hard to classify which one you can use and can’t use. The type of source that I’m having the hardest time with are media sources for one reason because I don’t know which one to use or if they are credible or not.
The things that I’m learning from my sources are various things. First of all most of the articles that I look say one thing and one thing only. For example my argument is becoming like a yes and no debate. I need to somehow explore other ideas that relate to my main research question but yet manage to stay on my main research question. They are affecting my argument to a point where it seems that if I fallow and fall for the yes and no argument, my final paper is not going to be successful.
The problem that I’m having is that I need help because the way I think my argument is going to turn out well it’s not going to be a very good argument. The other problem I’m having is that most of all the information I run into says the same thing. It’s either yes it does cause an increase in aggressive behavior and violence or the opposite that it does not and then it explains its reasons. Also another problem would be what other ideas or issues could I explore in my main research question in order to make it successful. With that being said I also have problem looking for things to research to make my argument the less bias as possible and get a view  from both sides. Another problem would be connecting the main research question to different issues or ideas that influence or impact my main research question. I feel that If I could somehow do that my research would not turn out bias and I would have outside information to support what I say.
