You must answer one or both questions with a response of at least 200 words and using at least one reference in APA style.
A) What are the challenges of developing your theoretical framework? How do you consider your project will order the framework?
B) Why do you think that some people do not use reliable sources? What type of resources do you consider important to use?
Remember that our deadline is Friday, september 24th before 11:59 pm. :)
PUT YOUR NAME AND LAST NAME INSIDE YOUR ANSWER.
Best regards!

ResponderBorrarA) Some of the challenges of making the theoretical framework is that sometimes it doesn’t contain a proper justification of the research you are developing, and it doesn’t demonstrate the previous instigation analysis.
Another challenge might be the information. At first, we think that all the information that we have researched is important but once we start writing it, we see that there is a lot of information that it's not necessary to put in the theoretical framework.
And finally, the theoretical framework doesn’t have an exact structure, it varies depending on the type of research you are conducting and the topic you are researching about.
The order in which I consider it could be order the framework of my team project would be as a timeline. We would start talking about how those young people entertained themselves before technology and social media, its benefits and its disadvantages, and then, about how those young people entertained themselves with the technology of now and social media, its benefits and its disadvantages.
B) I think that some people don't use reliable sources because it means more investigations, more to read and more hours to spend. People often look for ways to save time and the result of saving time might be the loss of reliable sources for their investigations.
The types of resources I considered important to use are the ones that are verified and backed up by an association or person.

ResponderBorrarA)A theoretical framework, sounds to difficult at first, but when you start understanding why and how you have to work it, it seems less difficult, but it is still extensive, because, it’s purpose means organizing all your ideas, topic and theories in one; Concepts often have multiple definitions, so the theoretical framework involves clearly defining what you mean by each term. this may be a challenge in our topic: “Young People & Social Media” because of its multiples concepts, theories and subtopics; I consider organizing first the themes To general to specific:
Instrument for communication
Distraction for young people
Mental disorders because of addiction
Cyber bullying
B) A lot of people in its investigation don’t know how to see the difference into a reliable source and unreliable sources, sometimes they put fake information, and people doesn’t know, that’s why it’s important to identify the good ones, but how do I know if a source is reliable?
Accuracy. Verify the information you already know against the information found in the source. Look also for disclaimers as to the accuracy of the content.
Authority. Make sure the source is written by a trustworthy author and/or institution.
Orthography: it doesn’t have grammar or orthography mistakes
I think the most confiable sources are from the government and official pages

ResponderBorrarB) In my opinion I think people may have several reasons as to why they do not use reliable sources. The first one, is that they might not know for certain if the source they are using is a reliable source. Which in that case we should define what a reliable source is, according to The University Library of Georgia it is: “Thorough, well-reasoned theory, arguments, etc. based on strong evidence.” These sources may include: articles, books, magazine articles and newspaper articles from scholarly cites, professional authors and well-stablished companies.
The second one, is that they know what a reliable source is, but they might not know how to identify one. To identify one, we must check the authority, things like who the author is, do they have knowledge or experience about what they are writing about; the accuracy, we must compare the information that we already know is reliable to the text and also check if there are proper citations. We also have to check the coverage and currency, check if the information covers what you need, and if the source is up to date.
The third one which in my opinion is the most common, is that people do not know how to find reliable sources, or are scared that they will find really complex research papers. This reason is one that scared me at first, but as I started to obtain research papers in google scholar and other reliable cites, I noticed that the language in most cases is easy to understand, and most of the time it is really easy to find the topic you are looking for.
I consider important to use sources that are from well-stablished companies, from universities and from cites that are backed up by the government, or other certified professionals.

ResponderBorrarNot all sources can be reliable, no matter how good they appear to be. The internet is scattered with misleading and biased information that can confuse you and ruin your whole research paper because the sources that you use are going to be the foundation of your whole research and will assure its trustworthiness.
When you evaluate information, you should consider the source's reliability, validity, accuracy, authority, timeliness, point of view, and bias. Just because a book, article, or website meets your search parameters doesn't guarantee it's a trustworthy source of information.
When you are assessing a source you should always do the CRAAP test, this is a method to evaluate the credibility of a source you are using. This test has five main components:
The information should be up-to-date and current, the source should be relevant to your research, the author and publication should be a trusted authority on the subject, the sources the author cited should be easy to find, clear and unbiased, and for web sourced the URL and layout should signify its trustworthiness.
There are three types of sources you can use in your research: primary, secondary, and tertiary.
The primary are immediate, first-hand accounts of a topic, from people who had a direct connection with it. Primary sources can include empirical or statistical results, newspapers and magazines, speeches, and interviews.
The secondary are second-hand information that analyzes, describes, or evaluates primary sources. Secondary sources can include books, journals, blogs, textbooks, and documentaries.
The tertiary are sources that identify, index or consolidate primary and secondary sources. Tertiary sources can include encyclopedias, dictionaries, bibliographies, and almanacs.

ResponderBorrarFor most people, reliable surces differ depending on the level of seriousness and what the information is going to be used for. For example, a speech might have enough basis from a reliable news source and .com websites from legitimate businesses, but in the case of scentific research, you can't use processed information like that, you must use articles or other scientific sources like books and journals. When looking for these scientific sources, one must know where to look, this has been a pressing personal issue because for the longest time I felt like shooting in the dark when using papers that might not be the most recent. You can use sites like Research Gate and Google Scholar, which are the ones I personlly use. Scholar for it's wide pull and library of articles, Research Gate for it's social network aspect that allows for easy sharing and commenting. Some other sites include Refseek, which focuses on .org sites and .edu sites, whereas google scholar does validate some independent studies on a blog sites. (Ramussen University, 2009 ed. 2017)

ResponderBorrarEveryday the internet is filled with more and more unreliable sources of information that many people don’t know about. When doing research sometimes the amount of information the internet offers is not a lot which makes people trust blindly on these fake websites that only spread misleading information. A common case of this is the news, nowadays there are so many news websites that publish fake information to gain views and grow their page. Specially with the older generations making them not believe on everything they read online is hard, these fake websites look trustworthy and that’s why some people don’t suspect anything. A method that works for evaluating if the source is trustworthy (specially for news) is the “SMART check”, the method it involves answering questions about your source. The questions you should ask are: S, who or what is the source? M, why do they say what they do? A, who wrote the story? R, is there anything included that show out as potentially untrue? T, how does it compare to another source? This method is efficient when you’re looking for reliable information and I recommend it. Personally, I always use google scholar for doing my homework because most of the information there is qualified.

Some of the challenges that we will present in our investigation is that we will present a rather complex and delicate subject on which it will be quite challenging to collect information. Another challenge that we could face throughout our research could be that we find quite varied information since this topic is quite old but also forgotten.
ResponderBorrarSometimes people do not use reliable information or information validated by an organization because in most cases it is sometimes easier to put the first thing you find in your investigation instead of doing a more complex and loaded investigation, another may be that Young researchers do not know how to distinguish between a reliable source and false information.
Some of the aspects you should know to choose trustworthy information are:
- First of all we have to know who the author of the article is, and know if he is qualified to do so.
- We need to know with what intention the author wrote the article, in terms of objectivity is another of the determining factors. We must observe whether the content is fact, opinion or advertising information.
- The site should be updated. It must be a space where new content is included to respond to the demands and needs that arise. Interest in the user is a sign of commitment to truthful information.

ResponderBorrarBasically answering these 2 questions and the theoretical framework itself, there is nothing left to say that within an investigation, there will clearly be false information, since sometimes the media spread things very quickly that even on several occasions they do not It is neither the most correct nor the most reliable, that is why I feel that when we want to do our research and do what would be our theoretical framework we have to look at all these details, especially that our information is reliable and corresponds with what we are investigating and is not a fallacy,
On the other hand I feel that the project that I have with my team fits very well with the theoretical framework, obviously like all research it has certain challenges, but as I had mentioned before, all this is a matter of verifying everything we do, what we include and what we publish with our public, so that our theoretical framework in conjunction with the final result d e what would our investigation be as good as possible

ResponderBorrarI think that one of the main challenges that we are going to face when making our theoretical framework will be to be able to validate the information, although this is why we are going to use information obtained by us with different tools, so that we can validate it more efficiently.
Our research will be ordered deductively, since in this way it will be easier to understand the research.
I think the reason of why people don’t use reliable sources is because they are harder to find or at least to validate their reliability, this is why people will prefer using sources where the information isn't reliable. For our investigation we are only going to use institutional information and information gathered by us, because in that way we can be sure that we are using reliable information.

ResponderBorrarThe challenges that we can find is that in many cases the opinion of the people is so different that this would make it difficult to create a report on what is the reason why people do not get vaccinated, I considered that this could be an important point in this time to collect the information.
Many times people do not give the time or dedication that an investigation should have, this can be due to different factors and if the importance is not given later it can have consequences, generally when using a source that is not reliable. realize, because they do not know the factors that an article should contain so they prefer to go to simple sites that, although they seem convincing, do not really have clear factors, when a topic is too complex to collect information it becomes somewhat difficult and People turn to sites where the information has already been synthesized, also another key factor that a research article must have are updates since in many cases certain topics are constantly changing and if we do not verify that what we are saying is true it can also affect our investigation.

ResponderBorrarToday the amount of information on a topic is very abundant, however, there are few times in which it is reliable and accurate with what you are looking for; due to the growth and development of the internet, the media, social networks and new technological systems; the immense amount we are exposed to can affect our judgment of what is right or wrong. Previously they went through difficult stages of verification, approval and verification of what was published in articles, decrees or books and if this was not the case, people used to turn to experts on the subject to hear their opinion on the matter; However, today the reality is completely different, many people make incorrect assumptions or hypotheses to their problems and propose wrong solutions to their problems.
Currently, it is difficult to differentiate which is a reliable source, we can read news that causes a great impact on society, and even months or even years later we find out that everything was false; However, the impact that this news caused already created a great influence on society; So I consider that one of the most effective means to obtain truthful information is to resort to university publications, dictionaries, pages of verified social organizations, newspapers such as the well-known New York Times, and avoid editable sources such as Wikipedia and online forums. , except that the latter are expert opinions. Fortunately, just as false information and lacking arguments increases on the internet, so have pages that combat false news and websites that teach you to identify them have been developed.

ResponderBorrarI believe that there are many people who do not use reliable sources since they think that all the information in all the pages is the same, but they do not know that in pages like Wikipedia, corner of the vago, etc. people can change the information to their liking at any time that is why it is important that people know where to look for their information and how to be able to identify if the sources are reliable, there are also people who do not seek second opinions and the first thing they see in a social network or on an unreliable page they believe it and do not try to search for more, I believe that there are many people who are very ignorant and that is why we must find a way to change their point of view, since these people not only They harm them by looking for bad information if not they also harm other people, since normally what you look for on the internet or what you get on social networks you talk to more people and comment on it, and I think that is one of the main problems in the world getting bad information from untrustworthy places.
