English 1102 2nd Blog
2/12/2012
For my research, the most interesting source I have found is a journal article called "Radiation Protection in Pediatric Imaging." The author of this article is Bryant Furlow. This is interesting because it talks about the effects radiation has on kids. It mentions how more and more American kids are being exposed to radiation. It talks about how being exposed as a child can have a negative effect as you grow up. On top of all of this, children are the very vulnerable not only to radiation but to any harmful effects, so it talked about how important it is to be aware of the things we expose our kids to. My topic has not really changed much. The more I research, the more interesting examples I find that I can use for my research. I am very open for suggestions on narrowing my topic down, but I find it reasonable to keep my original question. One challenge I have faced is finding factual sources that are not made up by a random person on the internet, and therefore my suggestion to my peers is not to use the first thing you find on the internet as a source.

Good work. Don't be too shy to e-mail Donna or to visit the reference desk for guidance.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can narrow down your topic to " The effects of radiation on kids" or something similar along those lines. I feel like you already were able to outline several key ideas for that topic in this response if you so do choose to pursue it. I agree with you last suggestion, a lot of the information online now is biased and skewed to the author's specific beliefs, not what the factual truth is.
