Critical Thinking Reflection #1

For my draft, I tried to include information that was at its core the most relevant to the group I was talking about. I left out some information that did not matter that much to things like the core of the history of the group. I made these decisions by continually relating every new piece of information I found back to the assignment on hand.

Some steps I took to research in this draft were to first decide who I was going to write about, then compile several informational sites and quotes from my secondary texts and put it into a doc to later transfer into my longer writing. Then I arranged and rearranged the bits of research into flowing text.

I assumed this group would be pretty easy to research considering what a following their cause has around the world. In reality, it was a little confusing to gather substantial sounding evidence. I feel I did not have many biases about the cause itself having not thought much about a group like this before.

I had to make sure all my sources were legitimate, and not just any random website I found off of google. By using previously learned source vetting techniques, this was not hard. Making claims and supporting them with my evidence proves easy if you have well-backed-up sources.

I am still looking for an interview to continue my research. My chosen group has not reached back out to me, so I may have to switch directions.
