Journal Entry, Week Four

News articles are fantastic ways to gain information.  The strengths of these are that there are plenty of news articles everywhere to be found related to most or some of your desired topic.  The limitations of this would be political bias in most cases.  Depending on who wrote the article, such as CNN or Breibhart, you need to be careful that it isn't full of political bias and propaganda.  Many times
Discussion boards can be good sources of information too, however, many times anyone can hop in on the discussion and provide false information. 

3 areas that are incomplete in my research or lacking

     -How long the virus has affected us
          -We have only been in isolation for a little bit, and since the virus is projected to last two years as a pandemic we still have no idea how exactly this will be affecting schools, work, etc etc
     - College relief plans
          - Some colleges have been providing relief for students and some refunds.  However, not all colleges have done this and there are still many missing variables in this case.
     - Lack of total information.  So far, there are many articles out there with political bias, so I'm picking through each one and making sure I can use it in my paper.

Currently I don't have any ethical questions for my info gathering process.
