Research is sorting and acquiring information to prove something is factual. There are many steps of research, of which you have many sources to use. Research is making theories, testing them, and keeping or dismissing them if need be. One that conducts research must be skeptical, and willing to set biases and beliefs aside. Also, they must be able to accept any of their own error.
The last time I conducted research was for my History 1220 class. I wrote a paper on fashion and beauty in the 1920's. I was able to use journal articles, news websites such as PBS, and books as my sources for the paper. I also did a research paper for my Psychology class last semester. The topic I had to research was " Are addictions considered a disease?" This really made me have to use critical thinking skills I haven't used before. One thing I have learned is never to give up, and to remain dedicated and patient.
