Review the feedback you received, especially from the instructor, on LRA I, because you may be required to make specific revisions here based on that feedback.
Introduction :
This assignment is the second in a series for the Research Project. In this Library Research Assignment, you revise the work you did in the first Library Research Assignment and, in particular, define the depth of the historical roots. Through 4 Library Research Assignments, you revise your topic idea, find sources (primary and secondary) that allow you to incorporate diverse perspectives, formulate research questions, cite your sources, compose your thesis statement, and share a draft of your paper. These assignments prepare you for your Research Paper due on the final exam day for this class.
For Your Post :
Label each section of your post with the labels below: Topic with Connections; Research Questions; Historical Roots; Search Strategies; and Sources with Annotations.
1. TOPIC with CONNECTIONS
Begin with a description of your chosen contemporary issue with historical roots. The description makes clear how it is connected to at least one of the five course themes: Humans and the Environment, Roots of Inequality (Gender), Socialism vs. Capitalism, Globalization, or the Roots of Contemporary Conflicts. Write in complete sentences. This description can be done in a single well-composed sentence but takes at most three sentences. This description may be copied from LRA I or is a REVISED version what you provided in LRA I. Necessity of revision based on instructor's feedback on LRA I.
1. RESEARCH QUESTIONS
Provide two research questions about the selected topic listed that make clear your focus on the HISTORICAL ROOTS. Depending on instructor's feedback on LRA I, questions may be very similar to those on LRA I or completely different if the topic was revised.
2. HISTORICAL ROOTS
Write a short statement (at least 50 words) explaining the depth of the historical roots (how far back in time you are researching).
3. SEARCH STRATEGIES
Explain in at least 100 words how you found your sources. Discuss search terms, databases used, if you consulted with a librarian the assistance you received, and so on.
4. SOURCES with ANNOTATIONS
· List TWO scholarly journal articles that focus on the historical roots of your issue.
· List TWO secondary book sources that address the historical roots of your selected topic. Books may be available online (such as an ebook) and/or in print, but they must be published. Books are not reports released by an institute, for example. Books are published only after having first gone through the peer review and editing process of scholarly sources
· Cite all FOUR sources in Chicago Notes and Bibliography style.
· Follow EACH citation with a one-sentence annotation that identifies its type such as book or scholarly journal article and explains how you identified it as such.
5. Type the above information in your word processing program to allow you to save it as a document there.
THE IMPACT OF GLOBALIZATION ON INEQUALITY
Topic with Connections
Globalization is a phenomenon that can be traced back to the 15th century and attributed to the interconnectedness of diverse businesses and people across the globe. Consequently, globalization has resulted in enhanced economic and socioeconomic integration, which in turn facilitates enhanced communication, movement, and business practices. However, despite the numerous advantages of this phenomenon, globalization is increasingly being touted as the reason behind the increase in inequality within many nations in the world. Globalization can be linked to four interrelated cultural shifts including strict tax competition between different countries, decreasing importance for the need for borders governing economic transactions, increased interconnectedness as a result of the upcoming trends in information and communication technology and increased volatility of the market.
Research Questions
· Are the fruits of economic globalization being shared fairly among people from all socioeconomic backgrounds?
· While global trade is driving the success of many nations around the globe, is there an increase in wealthy individuals or are more people getting poor by the day?
Globalization has led to more people outsourcing jobs abroad leading to decrease in wages and loss of jobs in the countries of origin. In turn manufacturing sites in some of these oversees countries practice lowest controls in terms of labor standards, taxes, environmental controls and costs generating a crisis. In addition to increased economic, social and political insecurity in the recent past the globalization process is affected creating a state of inequality.
Search Strategies
To find the three sources to be used in the analysis of the selected contemporary issue, the phrase searching technique was applied. Phrase searching entails the utilization of a few key words to formulate a search term. This search term can then be used to retrieve suitable results from a wide variety of sources. The search term, in this case, was "globalization and inequality." This search term was inserted into the Google search box to seek a viable news item regarding the impact of globalization on inequality. A thorough search yielded several results with an article from The Guardian Newspaper selected for this paper. Thereafter, the search term was inserted into Google Scholar to seek academic sources about the topic. Two sources were selected: a book and a journal. These two books shed light on the history regarding the selected topic.

Feedback LRA2
TOPIC with CONNECTIONS: Despite my DIRECT instructions on LRA I that "this topic MUST be revised to a SPECIFIC globalization issue seen today in some country or part of the world," this post does not make that revision. The result is that you still do not have an APPROVED Research Paper topic and thus CANNOT PASS this class until you make topic revisions.
QUESTIONS: Again these reflect no attention paid to my SPECIFIC instructions on LRA I.
HISTORICAL ROOTS: This was to be a separately labeled section here but it is MISSING.
SEARCH STRATEGIES: We spent an entire class period (Feb. 3) reviewing why Google searches were not effective in finding the required source types: scholarly journal articles and books. For a few other days we then looked at citation to identify source types.
