RJA #3b: Narrowing Research Topic
My initial research topic was Darwin's theory of evolution enforced by science but after about 10 minutes into my research I discovered that my topic is way too broad and I need to refine it more. With countless bookmarks and new information streaming from my computer to my brain I came up with another topic that interested me, If Darwin's theory of evolution is accurate, then why should we preserve endangered species?
RJA #3a Exploring Research Topic
I utilized google as my starting point and found various different types of information about Darwin and evolution. There was a tremendous amount of information availiable about Darwin and I book marked the ones I thought to be most effecient in my paper on my delicious account.
Some information I found about Darwin and evolution were things such as comparisions between Darwin's evolution and creation. These articles were more opinion based and had a creation standpoint. The second thing I stumbled upon was Darwin's timeline and his life biography. This information provided me with knowledge I did not know and this is a good article to reference because it is all fact. Since Darwin's theory of evolution is so famous I revisisted some information i already knew as I was searching, but this is not a bad thing, for the fact that I did find a credible source to reference it in my paper. As I kept searching I hope to find more valuable scources I will be able to reference.
