This is my discussion answer for week one this should help you with the assignments for this week’s assignment and week 5 as well.

· Identify a global societal issue from the following list that you would consider researching further for your Week 5 Final Paper: International drug trafficking

· Lack of education

 

· Describe effective methods you used in identifying and narrowing down to just one of the topics to further research for your Final Paper.

The method I use was process of elimination At first I decided to focus on international drug trafficking, its a especially with the R.I.C.C.O case going viral  on social media. Then I decided to chose poverty and income inequality, but this situation has been going on for so long, writing a paper on it wouldn't give the challenge I need. Finally, I chose Lack of education, this topic hit home for because of COVID 19 children were unable to attend school, instead at home for virtual learning then switch back to in school. My oldest son stayed back a grade due to the big adjustments being mad. Typing this paper will be a very  amusing I believe. 

· Explain three ways you can critically analyze sources to determine if they are scholarly.

One way to ensure the context of the source information is comprehensible and there is no plagiarism. Another way is to ensure the publisher  has a good reputation, if not  your work will be based off myth rather than facts. Lastly, research the author credentials, searching if their qualified for subject. 

· Summarize information from at least two scholarly journal articles from the UAGC Library that will support your claims for your chosen topic.

· Explain why scholarly sources should be used to support your writing on the selected topic.

The School Performance among Children and Adolescents during COVID-19 Pandemic: A Systematic Review  and  Virtual Learning in a Pandemic and Its Effects on Lower-Income Students: How the Education Gap is Widening Beyond Repair. To support my point of views on the  advantages and disadvantages, such as children in low income homes, children were not given the proper resources, and children's medical issues. 

The second on A VIEW OF ONLINE TEACHING AND LEARNING DURING THE PANDEMIC is to give me insight on the statistic  effect, affects, and improvements of virtual learning.
