How far should journalists go to protect their sources? Confidential sources should only be used as a last resort because in some extraordinary situations there is precedence in which it is warranted or morally advisable to reveal a source; therefore a journalist should only extend anonymity when it is absolutely necessary to get the story and if a journalist feels so strongly that his or her source must be protected, then he or she should be willing to go to jail to do the protecting. The simple
Sources for Beowulf Many of the characters and episodes and material artifacts mentioned poetically in Beowulf are likewise presented to us from archaeological sources, from literary sources, and from English and Scandinavian records. “I suggested in an earlier paper that the Beowulf poet’s incentive for composing an epic about sixth-century Scyldings may have had something to do with the fact that, by the 890’s at least, Heremod, Scyld, Healfdene, and the rest, were taken to be the common
Primary Source Analysis In Louis Hennepin’s “A Description of the Fall of the River Niagara, that is to be seen betwixt the Lake Ontario and that of Erie,” and his “The Author sets out from Fort Frontenac, and passes over the rapid Stream, which is call'd The Long Fall. He is kindly receiv'd at Montreal by Count Frontenac,” Hennepin offers the reader a late 17th-century description of the Niagara River and Falls, as well as the river systems leading to Montreal. Similarly, in “A Letter from
This essay aims to analyse two historical primary sources in relation to Queen Elizabeth I, also known as the ‘Virgin Queen’; the essay will attempt to use the source in order to understand what it is able to reveal about the past and her influence during her reign. The first source to be analysed consists of a portrait of the Queen in her late sixties produced, apparently, by the French born artist Isaac Oliver in the sixteen hundreds. In his portrait of the queen the artists, despite her age, presents
These two articles, one, an address by Attorney General John Ashcroft to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, and the other, an article written by David Cole that appeared on the Amnesty International web site, deal with the ethics and Constitutionality of the United Stated Patriot Act. David Cole, a professor at Georgetown University Law Center, argues that the Patriot Act violates citizen’s civil rights and unfairly imprisons innocent individuals. Attorney General John Ashcroft counters that
In Source A, Tom Griffiths offers a complex, multifaceted and distinctly relativist view of history. With a perspective inextricably linked to the ideas of a multitude of other historians, philosophers and thinkers, past and present, Source A considers the purposes and the construction of history, Griffiths presenting his own particular viewpoint. Source A posits that the purpose of history is predominantly to inform, with an understanding of the past offering new and greater ways of understanding

Textual – Source – Redaction Why these criticisms benefit the authenticity of the Holy Bible. The Holy Bible is the most read, studied, refuted, and revered book on earth. There are those who blindly believe, like the Author, the Bible is the word of God. No amount of shared information or contrived evidence the Bible is anything more than a collection of stories passed from generation to generation and finally centuries later written by a collection of unknown scholars will change this opinion

certain skills such as being able to execute and understand writing as a process, being able to explain and critique my capacities for reflection and meta-cognition, and my ability to classify and critique my capacities at evaluating and selecting sources I’ve become a better writer. I’ve come to understand that writing is a process. Writing a great piece doesn’t happen overnight, in one sitting. Writing a good paper means you write it a couple times, different drafts are involved, and you remove and
only as valid as that which it is built upon, be it the logic, the information researched, or the references used, they all contribute significantly to the information being proven. Because of the obviously important position sources have in papers, a wrong or misleading source could be called into question and with it the entire argument being set upon it. Yet without stringent requirements as to what is used in as a resource, an erroneous claim could hold just as much sway as a researched, well reasoned
At the outbreak of the Great War, men and women alike rushed to see how they could help their country, but only a small number of them were able to tell their story. The first company of men rushing to fight in the war was war-lovers such as the Grenfells, but many of them were killed in battle before they were able to share their experiences. The second assembly of men was the middle class workers, and this is where the majority of the written stories come from. The third group to go to war was
Social 30-1 Perspectives of individualism. Source 1: There is a quote by Roger B. Butters establishing his view on capitalism. Capitalism is an economic system in which people or businesses own the resources necessary to produce things or provide services. It involves competition among multiple market actors with the goal of producing a profit. Taking this, the quote communicates the positive aspects of capitalism, considering it as a way of life rather than a simple economic standpoint. Butters
correctly analyzing sources, and developing a well-rounded, complete paper. I have progressed a writer over the semester by effectively integrating and analyzing sources better, and being more specific with my words. Throughout this semester, I gained skills learned in class and through peer evaluations that improved my writing skills to make my papers more academic. In the beginning of the semester, I was still using old skills that I had in high school for my papers. I would just add sources randomly in
committed by Hester with Dimmesdale. It talked about how her sin is in the will and not the sinful act itself. Pearl is the living representation of their sin. And it focused on the freewill of Hester and Pearl returning on their own. I found this source to be really useful but it had a lot of information in it so it was hard to soak it all in so it is helpful taking notes and highlighting key words while reading this article. The word choice was difficult in some paragraphs so I had to look up a

When choosing sources for a research topic, the most important factor of a quality source is depth and reliability. That is the key to a strong, well-written, argument. Many times, one can find themselves fishing through an array of sources, not knowing which ones to use. A student may find a passage in a book or article that perfectly fits the idea of their research, and they think they have struck gold. They sit down, ready to write their masterpiece. They come to that point in their paper

For example, both authors include evidence from Valerie Tripp and David Cesarani. The Point author cited several blogs, which can be unreliable. Though, most of the sources that the point author gives is credible and reputable. The Counterpoint author provides many bibliographies to support his argument and they all seem reliable. The sources that the counterpoint
The Change of a River From Its Source to Its Mouth Main Aim: To find out in which ways a river changes from its source to its mouth. We traveled to the west coast of Wales to find out how a river changes from its source to its mouth. We were situated in the small rural village of Tal-y-bont, which was near the town of Aberystwyth. The river that we decided to test out with our hypothesis and find out our aim on was the river Einion. The river Einion is a tributary to the river Dovey
