MHS502 - 2 CASE

· Discuss Various Sources of Information about Culture and Evaluate the Credibility of Those Sources 

Discussion Topic

 

The Internet is full of information. Sometimes, the information we find using online sources is very well done, reliable, and accurate. Other times, we find ourselves on a Web page that has less-than-credible information. It is important to keep this in mind as we explore culture. To help us determine what makes a site credible, I would encourage you to follow this link: http://guides.library.jhu.edu/content.php?pid=198142&sid=1657518to the library at Johns Hopkins University where you will learn about the criteria used to determine the credibility of a website. How do you know whether a website is credible? What are signs that it is something you should not use for an academic paper? I would also like you to post a link to a site that you have found specific to cross-cultural study. Tell us if you feel that the site is credible and why. By the end of this week, working collaboratively, we can develop a virtual library of credible information sources that will aid us in future cross-cultural study.
