Your
road
map
to
understanding
sources
By,
Alyssa
Wilson
A
bibliography
is
a
list
of
sources
that
you
compile
while
doing
research
on
a
certain
topic.
An
annotated
bibliography
supplies
more
information
about
each
source
including
what
the
source
is,
why
it
is
important,
and
how
you
will
use
it.
An
annotated
bibliography
is
the
best
way
to
further
understand
your
sources.
It
can
help
you
eliminate
irrelevant
sources,
understand
their
main
point,
and
determine
its
usefulness
to
your
research
topic.
It
will
also
help
you
to
better
understand
your
own
feelings
on
the
subject,
and
assist
you
in
developing
your
own
working
thesis
or
hypothesis
for
your
final
project.
Research
projects
in
the
academic
field
are
all
about
responding
to
previous
claims.
By
creating
an
annotated
bibliography,
you
will
be
better
equipped
to
support
your
claim
with
evidence
drawn
from
credible
sources,
which
will
give
you
a
better,
more
scholarly
argument.
Annotated
Bibliographies
are
made
up
of
three
separate
parts.
• Summary:
Take
your
source
and
find
the
main
points.
What
are
the
arguments
being
made?
What
is
the
author
or
source
trying
to
say?
• Analysis:
Is
this
a
good
quality
source?
How
is
this
source
different
from
other
sources
you
may
be
using?
• Reflection:
How
will
this
source
help
you
in
your
final
project?
How
has
it
affected
your
thoughts
or
opinions
on
the
subject?
Note:
Each
discipline
and
faculty
will
have
a
different
goal
with
his
or
her
annotated
bibliographies.
History
will
emphasize
the
quality
of
the
source,
more
than
the
usefulness,
and
English
will
zoom
in
more
on
the
argument
being
presented.

McCormack,
Gavan.
Client
State:
Japan
in
the
American
Embrace.
London:
Verso,
2007.
This
source
is
written
by
Gavan
McCormack,
an
Emeritus
Professor
in
the
Research
School
of
Pacific
and
Asian
Studies
in
Australian
National
University
located
in
Canberra.
It
provides
a
modern-­‐day
insight
into
Japan’s
alliance
with
the
United
States.
McCormack
describes
many
different
aspects
of
Japan’s
policies
from
nuclear
warfare
to
the
question
of
national
identity
or
“Japaneseness”
(Nihonjin-­‐ron)
in
the
twenty-­‐first
century.
He
argues
that
Japan
has
been
sucked
thoroughly
into
the
“American
embrace”
(hence
the
title)
by
promoting
policies
that
weren’t
necessarily
popular
with
the
general
population,
but
that
would
benefit
their
ties
with
the
U.S.A.
He
asserts
that
the
embrace
has
become
“increasingly
stifling”
for
Japan
and
that
they
have
been
turned
into
a
kind
of
political
“puppet”
for
the
United
States.
Written
for
scholars
specifically,
he
uses
many
primary
sources
directly
translated
from
Japanese
to
English,
which
provides
us
with
credible
sources
and
first-­‐hand
accounts.
His
critical
analysis
of
Japan’s
modern-­‐day
economic
and
political
policies
stipulates
an
important
insight
for
my
research
because
it
can
give
me
good
modern
day
examples
of
the
point
I
am
trying
to
prove.
However,
because
it
is
about
modern-­‐day
Japan,
it
limits
me
on
explaining
why
and
how
the
occupation
helped
and
or
hindered
Japan.
Although
it
gives
me
good
reference
points
in
the
present,
it
does
not
aid
me
in
between.

“Checking
Value
of
Free
Exercise:
Religious
Clashes
with
the
State.”
Texas
Review
of
Law
&
Politics
3,
(April,
1999):
192-­‐223.
This
article
is
extremely
in
depth
and
informative
as
it
creates
an
argument
that
states:
“[the]
First
Amendment
analysis
should
‘focus
upon
limiting
governmental
interference
with
the
efforts
of
individuals
and
communities
to
structure
their
own
lives
in
the
way
they
see
fit,’”
(pg.
222).
The
author
maintains
a
heavy
emphasis
on
separation
between
Church
and
State,
but
still
argues
that
the
government
should,
instead
of
trying
to
take
away
power
from
the
church,
empower
it
because
it
provides
a
good
moral
conscience
for
the
citizens
of
the
State,
just
as
the
other
actions
do
in
the
First
Amendment,
(such
as
nondiscrimination
based
on
race
and
gender).
The
article
also
focuses
on
the
rights
of
the
individual,
explaining
that
individuals
are
granted
a
certain
set
of
freedoms
from
the
Constitution,
and
that
religion
is
one
that
should
be
maintained.
Although
a
very
helpful
article
as
far
as
the
legality
of
the
religious
question,
it
didn’t
address
it
in
terms
of
the
business
world.
There
is
also
a
possible
bias
if
you
see
where
the
journal
was
published
(Texas,
a
notably
religious,
and
conservative
state).
However,
it
could
be
useful
for
my
research
as
I
explore
more
about
the
rights
of
religion
and
where
the
law
intersects
individual
religious
freedoms.
This
article
is
more
in
the
realm
of
questioning
to
what
extent
individuals
have
the
right
to
practice
their
religious
beliefs
in
their
daily
lives
outside
their
own
sphere
of
influence,
a
difficult
quagmire,
and
definitely
not
easily
resolved.
