 Do you not already have a stance from which to discuss the topic in your own paper? Are you looking to include statistical information or something along those lines, that you would hope to find in such an article? Hard to find factual data these days, in any 'article.' The media is about as accurate as the movies in relaying data to the people. All too often it seems if you really know whats going on, you know that at best the media relays data to the end user in a way that may have been accurate at one point, but the words have been rearranged to make them riddled with mistakes at best. The only way to know and understand, is to know and understand. Digesting something that someone else ate, is not a good way to go about it IMO if this is a serious paper and not just a Jr. high school project for 5% of your grade. If as an interviewer you sit down and talk to someone about solid fuel rocket science for an hour, are you going to be able to tell me about solid fuel rocket science and make me understand it? If you are a genius of geniuses perhaps, but most likely you will get about 5% of it right, have 10% of it half way right, and completely screw up the rest of it. |
