April 27th-Prompt: Reflect on your research topic and identify the most compelling issue connected to it. Clearly explain what the issue is and discuss why you find it particularly interesting or important. Support your response with specific details from your research.

 Response- My research topic was Freedom of speech vs Cancel culture. One of the main issues was the effects of cancel culture on society/ a person.

Summary- Cancel culture viewpoint is one of the main issues and something that interests me. Reflection- Worked on research assignment.

April 17-Political cartoons often use exaggeration and symbolism to make a point, and they can also serve as important visual sources for analysis. What is being criticized in this image? What does this source suggest about the issue, and what does the cartoonist want the audience to question or reconsider?

Reponse- The image represents trump sending out ice to harass and deport innocent people, and then try to use Iran attacking Israel as a distraction to make ice seem irrelevant. Both situations are very terrible but the main image is focused on ice and the "Big Beautiful Bill" while trump is off to the side pointing and shouting about the attacks trying to throw off the audience. Summary- I feel like this image representing the events right now really good. Reflection- In class we had a fire drill and then studied how to research properly and the steps.

April 15- Think about how you have searched for information in the past compared to what you practiced today. How is creating specific search phrases different from just “Googling” a topic? Explain how this strategy will improve the quality of your research.

Response- In the past I would usually just Google something to get the answer, and find it from the first two topics or first page. I wouldn't use sites like Wikipedia, but I didn't research for a trusted source to find information either. But I'm going to start using Google scholar to find info because it's from a trusted source and you can get more specific on what you're looking for. Summary- I uses to just go off the first few options when searching for something and wouldn't check if it was a trusted source which I learned to not do from now on. Reflection- In class we worked on the same research assignment but got another paper to fill out.
