My week 1 Discussion Post:
The global societal topic that I would like to research further for my final week research paper is unemployment and lack of economic opportunity.
I listed all the research topics and then did a background research on all the topics based on the one which is the most current issue in today’s society. I then selected three research topics which according to me were the most current issues in today’s society.
I brainstormed on all the three topics to get a general view of the ideas relating to the topics and finally chose the topic of unemployment and lack of economic opportunity because I was able to relate it with the current problems facing our society and it also had good ideas on how it could be written to produce an excellent and well detailed research paper.
According to me, the following steps are effective for determining if a source is scholarly,
Checking on the authors; if their names and credential are provided and if the credentials provided are relevant to the information provided, then the source is scholarly.
Checking on the publishers of the information whereby I will examine whether they belong to an academic, scholarly or professional organization.
Checking on the timelines provided and for the timelines; I will check if the date of publication is provided and if it’s provided, then the source is scholarly.
Decent work deficits still continue to remain widespread although the global unemployment has stabilized. The global economy is still not creating enough jobs. Private companies and public corporations need to put additional efforts in order to improve the quality of work for jobholders. The gains of growth should also be shared equitably so that citizens of a country get equal opportunities in employment (Bhargava, 2006).
I would prefer to use scholarly sources as compared to other sources because their level of authority and credibility evident in scholarly sources will always help in improving the overall content quality of a research paper.
