Part Two, information and information sources. There is a need to continually question information and information sources. information can come from a wide array of sources, books, magazines, newspapers, experts, and the internet are all primary sources. What sources can be believed? What information should be discarded? To help you find worthwhile information and sources?
Ask the following questions. Where are the best sources of information? If the information you are gathering is for general education, finding it on the internet magazines or regular newspapers is usually okay. The more critical the information, the more important the sources. reliable sources can be found in books and articles from established experts, library resources, magazines and newspapers that you Have confidence in. You can use unknown sources from the internet magazines and articles, but caution is advised.
The information isn't governed, and a great deal of it is biased and or wrong. Try to verify information when it is important. Candy information be verified? This is a great question. Finding two or more different locations that has the same general information is the best way to verify information. Your objective is to find unrelated sources as information is recopied over and over again in many locations today.
One way to find unrelated sources is to look for information that verifies what you are investigating, but is presented differently. This doesn't always guarantee that the source is unrelated however, it is a good indicator assumptions, assumptions about information are crucial. assumptions are used instead of facts and data when they are unavailable, or time is limited. wrong assumptions will lead you down the wrong path. Consequently, assumptions need to be questioned. Ask yourself, are my assumptions valid?
If so, why? If not, why not? Do I need to investigate more facts and data? These questions will help you think through assumptions before using them as fact. That process helps to screen out bad assumptions. It won't catch all the bad assumptions however, it will catch a good majority of them with practice.
