Research Journal Part 4: Types of Information
1) Is a vegetarian diet healthier that a meat-based diet?
for this I would use Statistics reference books and online statistical sources from web pages.
when it comes to health reports there are different studies being conducted constantly so I would research as many of these up to date findings from the above mentioned sources as well as scholarly medical journals.
2)Target often forces musicians to alter lyrics in order to have their CD's sold in Target stores. Is this censorship? - I believe that is censorship. In order to research that subject I would look into the world wide web for sites on the subject as well as books for historical finding on what censorship is and what is considered censorship.
3) How much more can a college graduate expect to earn over someone with a high school diploma?
a pretty straight forward question that requires statistics to give solid feedback. I would resort to researching the latest information given as these statistics have changed over time. I would first look into web sites to get started in looking for other sources such as scholarly academic journals online as well as reference books. I have seen magazines with these studies also so I definitely would not overlook those.
4) Should educators use commercial services to combat plagiarism?
Use world wide web, broadcast media, news clips and editorials through the web and newspapers.
5) Is the current lack of sunspot activity affecting global warming?
This one would probably require the most research as there are scientist and climatologists out there printing or stating different views on such a subject. Look into official web sites with government and scientific organizations and books and journals from scholarly/academic publishers.

this is an exciting subject that is being used for many new technological innovations being created today.
answering this question would be best research by the latest articles on the subject in periodical magazines such as time or popular science.
2) What ethics are involved in using AI?
find contemporary views with online organization web sites, blogs, and interviews with online news clips on the subject.
3) What does the future hold in using AI?
