Rough Draft Review Process Evaluation

The two global issues that I consider researching for my research paper are the refugees' crisis and the minimum wage.

The Effective Methods used in Identifying and Narrowing to One Topic

One of the appropriate methods for identifying as well as narrowing down a subject is finding what interest me. This can be achieved through brainstorming or free writing ideas and thoughts. This idea can be shared with others through many different ways resulting in a narrower more precise topic. Being passionate on certain topics makes the argument stronger as a result helping in creating an active and supporting stand.

Three ways that can be used to analyze if sources are scholarly credible critically

The critical analysis of the sources if they are scholarly reliable can be done using the authority, acceptance, accuracy, objectivity, and coverage. In this case, authority implies that the author's reputation and his credentials are educated within the background of the topic. On internet sources, I consider whether the internet web page includes .org, .com, .edu among others. While searching for credible sources, it is important to find the information from institutions that are respected in the field of research. Regarding the prevalence, it involves taking into consideration the information that is relevant and up to date. It is important to support research with current information rather than those of the past. Coverage means the source of information i.e. the primary or the secondary sources. Objectivity means that the used information is based on facts and data, and not opinion. Lastly, accuracy means that the evidence supports the claims and all data are valid and factual.

Summary information from at least two peer-reviewed Journal Articles from Ashford University Library

In this paper, the focus will be on the aspect of the Syria refugee crisis. According to the Journal article by Professor Shahram, a summary of the Syria refugee, it is evidence that millions of Syrians are seeking refuge outside their country. Another 6 million citizens are internally displaced within the country. Other nations are involved with the crisis; these nations include The United States, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iran, and Turkey. This article explains how the children are affected regarding education and their living conditions. This article recommends that supporting organizations should be funded. Another recommendation from this article is that there should be the settling of more refugees in places like Germany (Akbarzadeh & Conduit, 2016).

The second article is by Seth Homes and Heide Castaneda with details of the blaming for the displacement of the European refugees and how various cultures and nations react to them. Learning a great deal on how the dependability for suffering is undergoing a shift as shown by the broad frameworks being applied in the media and the political and popular storylines. In this article, it is evidence that there is no unified Europe especially in dealing with issues of refugees. This article also reveals an interesting fact on the portrayal of the crisis by the media and the countries involved (Holmes & Castaneda, 2016).

Reasons for using Scholarly article in support of chosen topic

The reason why scholarly articles should be utilized is that it provides facts and data that can be measured as well as supported by the claim. The use of non-scholarly articles is likely to make papers to be based on an opinion consequently giving it less strength to rely on.
