...Churchill was wrong and misguided to support Edward VIII in the way that he did. How far do these sources support this interpretation? All three of these sources present a different image about Churchill’s approach Edwards’s situation. Overall Churchill’s view on the situation was the majority and most people were very angry with the King for trying to marry a divorcee. Sources B and C support the view that Church was misguided by telling us that he had little support from anyone else in the public or in the government. Source B states that people felt an “enraged fury against the King” this point tell us that people were furious with the king because he has gone against s major church rule to marry a divorcee. As Edward was the head of the Church of England his methods were thought to be a direct mockery of the church and everything that it stands for. As people didn’t have support for the king they were not going to have support for Churchill as he supported the king, this means they would have thought that his views were misguided and confused. Although sources imply that Churchill views were different to the majority and this would of lead to people thinking he was misguided there is no use of the word “Misguided” in the sources so we do not know exactly if the views of the people were this. Another thing that supports that the views that are supplied in Sources B and C are the both Source A and B are written in the correct time periods. This means that the facts written...

...Ethically Responsible and Irresponsible News Reporting By Michael Rapuano June 01, 2015 COM/450 Ethics and Communication Instructor John Rothfork Ethically Responsible and Irresponsible News Reporting Journalists and publishers have an unspoken ethical responsibility when reporting the news or any topic of interest. The journalists, publishers, television newscasters, and anyone else reporting information to the public should be guided by an internal moral compass that steers them towards the truth. This is to say that their first and foremost commitment needs to be to the reporting the truth from reliable sources (Principles of journalism, 2015). Getting the story out there first should be secondary to the truth and not so much as a main concern but it often is for struggling or rookie journalists. “Scooping” the other reporter helps to get their name out there and become more prominently known while building their reputation. This can sometimes cloud their judgment and reporting skills and allow erroneous information to get by them and become part of their report. Ethically responsible reporting A journalist who acts responsibly is acting in the best interest of the general public. They will research their topic and verify that their sources are credible. The journalist will verify both confidential and publicly known sources to ensure their information is accurate and they are who they say are (Principles of journalism, 2015). There a lot of people in today’s...

Step 2. Process it mentally: First Reading * Read (skim) through each source a first time for the big ideas. Take notes in the margin as you read. Note the main topics or ideas that relate to your research question. * After completing your reading, put the article aside and write a summary of the article that reflects the author’s findings or main points. * Review your margin notes from each source to find common themes or ideas. * Begin to analyze your sources to develop an outline based on the common ideas. Put aside sources that don’t help develop your paper. * Search for additional sources that relate to your outline of ideas. Step 3. Use it in your own writing in a legitimate way – Three ways to use material from a source: * Summarize – Write a few sentences or short paragraph that summarizes the main points of the article. * Paraphrase – Write the ideas in a particular section of the article in your own words. * Quote – Use this sparingly, but quote when appropriate to include the exact words of the author. Second Reading * Read through each source a second time. You may want to highlight significant sections of the source as you read...

...1. What do you think when you read claims in a newspaper or magazine that seem to be unsubstantiated? Seeing stories in mass media with unsubstantial amounts of evidence to prove legitimacy makes me believe the source is sugarcoating a redundant issue, or story for publicity. Although the information in a newspaper or magazine such as New York Times may be excellent ways of learning what is happening in the world, they are no substitute for scholarly articles in peer-review journals. Therefore, the accuracy of the stories can be harder to discern. 2. How do you approach research? When approaching research, I identify a subject and make sub-subjects and add topics and provide details to each topic. By doing this, I have an organized structure of my subject, with different pieces of information supporting it. When conducting research, a good initial step is to compile a list of relevant literature. A second step is to scan the references to locate relevant articles. A third effective strategy is to Google relevant topics, especially useful resources for information on just about any scholar topic you can imagine. 3. What are the biggest challenges in doing research? The biggest challenges when approaching research I face is finding a reliable source for information. Using incorrect information is not acceptable. Websites such as Wikipedia should also never be used or cited as academic works because the sources are not delineated clearly enough to critique. In...

...The three sources do suggest that Wolsey did genuinely try to achieve justice in his time as Lord Chancellor. However, they do not conclusively say it was ‘for all’. The first source suggests that high on Wolsey’s list of priorities was serving ‘just and equality’. However he would not be negative regarding the matter but it is also important to note that in such an important piece of text Wolsey would not be able to make strong claims which he could not back up. Source 2 could be interpreted two ways. On one hand the fact that bakers are asking for Wolsey’s support implying that they believed him to be fair and grant them their ‘remedy’ for the wrongdoing they have fallen victim of. Another way of looking at it is that Wolsey favoured the poor and that is why they asked for his help. Confirming the fact that he favoured the poor is source 3. He apparently ‘punished the rich’. This does come from an upper class perspective however and Wolsey giving the poor any kind of privilege would be frowned upon by the rich. One factor that all three sources agree on is that Wolsey would go against law and tradition if it meant being more just. The second source shows this by showing that when the law is acting unjustly, ‘the mayor sent them to Newgate gaol for 11 days’, Wolsey is the man that people would expect to help them. This contrasts with the traditional approach because men such as the Mayor and Alderman should have their way without interference if it meant exploiting the poor...

...How far do you agree the sources suggest that Attlee was not a very effective political leader? To a certain extent Sources 1, 2 and 3 all show evidence that would agree with the statement that Attlee was not a very effective political leader. For example all 3 sources suggest that he lacked authority and power, some of the qualities that would produce a great leader. Both sources 1 and 2 describe Attlee as a ‘small’, ‘shy’ man, giving off the impression that Attlee was a very timid character, not capable of running a country and unable to hold a position of power. Source 1 was written by a supporter of Attlee opponents, so may be untrustworthy, as Kingsley Martin opposed Attlee. Although source 2 was written by a left-of-centre newspaper, adding credibility to the source as the criticisms where from a supporter of Attlee. Meaning that the evidence was not be over exaggerated. However the source was written the day after Attlee resigned meaning that the source could be seen as over-generous, as it is looking back over Attlee’s ruling. Both sources 1 and 3 describe Attlee as a school master who is able to ‘restore order’, but ‘did not teach very much’ this displays that Attlee was unable to change or offer opinion. This reinforces the statement that Attlee was not an effective leader. Source 3 also states that Attlee’s summing-up in meetings was often incomplete and he barely produced constructive ideas. This further suggests that Attlee was there to listen, but not to give his...

...Look at sources C, D, E, F and G. How far do you agree with the statement that Henry was Wolsey’s puppet? From the sources C, D,E,F, and G I can create a judgement about whether or not Henry was Wolsey’s puppet or not. Firstly source C agrees with the statement. Source C is an extract from a textbook written in 1955 to educate the reader, this tells me that is a reliable source. The first point that I can learn from this source is that Wolsey was in charge of Henry VIII. It describes Wolsey as the ‘Kings chief minister’ and that ‘he was virtually the only one’. This suggests that Wolsey had control and was trusted by Henry and therefore another respectable minister was not needed. The phrase ‘the only one’ implies that Wolsey was in charge, because there was no need for any other advisors to work with him, giving the impression that he had control of the king and of his role. I can infer that the fact he was the ‘only one’ shows that he had control of Henry’s decisions to not employ any other advisors or ministers to help him. I know from my own knowledge that henry was looking for someone young and new after many of the old ministers left and Wolsey being an opportunist snapped up the job and saw a prime opportunity to gain control once in the role. He was so respected and trusted by the king, that he had no need for any other advisors because he trusted everything that Wolsey said, showing how he was the puppet and Wolsey the master. In comparison to source...

...unsubstantiated? . When I read an unsubstantiated claim in a newspaper or magazines that seem to be an unsubstantiated claim. I feel angry and sad for people who may believe these claims. I usually don’t believe it before doing a research about it. Furthermore, a lot of questions come to my mind, why the writer makes this claim without proof, or stating the source. I think that writers should not make an unsubstantiated claim about products, or any other services without backup or reliable sources. 2. How do you approach research? . I usually approach research by critical inquiry. I start by defining a challenging research questions. Next, I consider the rhetorical situation of the research such as, the audience, purpose and scope. Moreover, I begin by conducting a library and web based research. I would gather information, and evaluate a variety of reliable sources. Then, I create a research plan, and draft my paper. Overall, my approach to research is basically reading, thinking critically, gathering information, and taking notes and then evaluating them. 3. What are your biggest challenges in doing research? .

...Word Count: 627 “Do students rely solely on the internet or should they use a balance of diverse kinds of sources?” Students use the internet for a variety of things such as entertainment, social needs, and very few times is it used as a dependable source. Although students don’t use it reliably, I believe that students should use a balance of sources. Internet and Library sources are both very useful in their own rights when utilized properly; however they both have their pros and cons. In this essay I will discuss the benefits and liabilities of using the two types of sources. Students who use a mixture of sources are more likely to have more valid and solid facts than a student who uses all sources from one place. The sources begin to become more repetitive and less factual when they are all retrieved from one place. This also makes it harder for the writer to put the sources into their own words creating a suspicion of plagiarism. The liability of the internet is that it is a place where anyone can create anything and put it on a forum for all to view, retrieve and use as a source. Just because something is put into a space doesn’t make it correct. Using caution and exercising good judgment can help prevent using a bogus source, but in contrast the internet provides an interactive multimedia experience that is not available with library sources. Sources from the internet are also harder to identify due to the fact that many websites do not source the writer of...

...in which you examine the definitions and implications of "needs" versus "wants" as described by the two authors. In today’s society, most people contribute too much money to unnecessary possessions that are not needed. The more money one earns, the more one tends to spend. This endless cycle of materialism has led many to confuse the word ‘need’ with ‘want’. In researching this topic I have read not only the source materials provided in this assignment but also other web and book sources which I have listed below. “The pursuit of material success often is the root cause of burnout at midlife. In fact, a recent study at the University of California found that people primarily motivated by the love of their work grow dissatisfied as they begin to make more money”. The first step in breaking this materialistic trap is in distinguishing the differences between wants and needs. This comparison is the underlying essence of economics and strives to comprehend how “individuals and nations behave in respond to certain material constraints”. Although the sources provided from the Sundance reader are vastly contrasting, this distinctive difference will be beneficial to my compare/contrast essay because it will allow readers to get a full perspective on the definitions and implications of these two terms. **NOTE- that I will be using economic based articles to give full clarity to my writing.
