In Class Discussion

Jake Baldridge- Institutionalized discrimination in the United States. He is having a hard time to find videos on the subject, but is having success finding documents about his topic. All of his sources are related and share the same viewpoint as him.

Dominic Broderson- Why cigarettes should be illegal. He is finding information on the bad side effects of smoking. That then is the biggest reason for banning cigarettes. The peer reviewed sources he has are very factual while the google search ones just repeat public common knowledge.

Adam Parker- I’m finding a lot of scholarly journals through credited sites, however the sources I find tend to be court cases that offer little information to my search. The US territories indigenous people have a long history with the US government and Navy. I’m exploring the cohesiveness of US involvement with these territories acquired over 70 years ago during war.
