2-1 Discussion: Diverse Perspectives

One part of research is to assess your sources for diverse perspectives, which helps to create a robust argument. In this discussion, you will explore how two of your sources help you understand your topic by portraying diverse perspectives.
 
Discussing challenges that face our world often means investigating opinions and ideas different from your own. Remember to remain thoughtful and respectful toward your peers and instructor in your initial and response discussion posts.

Create one initial post and respond to at least two of your classmates.

For your initial post, address the following:

1. Identify your research question for the final project. Additionally, list the source that you selected from the Project Resources.
2. Share links to two sources from the Shapiro Library that you have found through your library research.
3. Describe how these two sources support your topic and research question.
4. What different perspectives are represented in these two sources? Which voices are present in these sources, and how do the voices differ? For example, if you are writing about a four-day workweek, an economist, an employee, an employer, and a customer or client might all have different perspectives on this topic because a shortened work week impacts each of them in different ways.
5. Do the voices and perspectives represented in these sources give a full or fair picture of whom the topic touches? If not, what perspectives do you need to consider as you continue your research?

For your response posts, address the following:

1. Comment on the sources that your peers shared and how these sources connect to the research questions. Share any recommendations that you might have for your peers.
2. What other perspectives can you recommend for your peers to consider?
