When you write a paper, you do research. Usually, in your report you site your source. This act is also know as making a bibliography. Teachers years ago asked their students to make a bibliography because that way the information given could be true. Without saying where the information came from a student could have made up the information that isn’t true.
A problem that has now come into affect is how do we know what information is true. As an example, if four of your friends tell you that practice is on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. How do you know which one is the right practice date? This is our problem. Now, if you are smart, you would now ask each of your friends to give you proof. Hopefully, they would show you some sort of notice that was sent out to the players. This would be your proof, and siting your source.

We have another problem. What if your informaion wrong. Going back to your friends a notice could have been for an earlier date. Just like finding information on the internet, the results could be false.

In our projects in class, the topic of sources came up. I’ve been thinking about how we could all agree on what those results of the test. This is what all people do, they to think that if they do it themselves. We run into yet another problem. If everyone is testing and all of the results are varying how do we know what is true. Even if they show their work all salmon might give different results. These results may vary on the salmon type or it could be the way or what was used to get these answers.

I find that all of this mayhem could be reduced if only like two different experiments are done and hopefully match. If not the test should continue in the same way and just recording your findings. With limiting the experiments makes it easier for people to see the results. There might be a margin of error but the error will be reduced with only two people conducting them.

I believe what we can conclude that we need to pay attention to our sources. Try to back up your findings with proof. If you really want to find the true answer, conduct the experiment your self. We you have your results compare them. Make a conclusion with comparing sources to yours.
