Chapter Two - Literature Review.pdf

Samah Abdelkarim

A literature review surveys scholarly sources on a topic to provide an overview of current knowledge and identify relevant theories, methods, and gaps in existing research. It analyzes, synthesizes and critically evaluates sources, rather than just summarizing them, to give a clear picture of the state of knowledge. Conducting a literature review at the beginning of a research project helps familiarize oneself with the topic, ensure original work, identify gaps, and develop a theoretical framework and methodology.

Samah Abdelkarim

A literature review surveys scholarly sources on a topic to provide an overview of current knowledge and identify relevant theories, methods, and gaps in existing research. It should analyze, synthesize, and critically evaluate sources, rather than just summarizing them. Conducting a literature review allows one to familiarize themselves with a topic, ensure they are not repeating past work, identify gaps their research could address, and develop a theoretical framework. The literature review typically comes early in a research paper, after the introduction, to ground the research in a scholarly field.

laquandabignell

For Week 4 , address the following in a three-page paper: Identify a current event or contemporary social issue that involves ethical values. Your issue must be broad enough to sustain deep philosophical analysis and must have relevance to your community. A good choice of issue is one that (1) involves a decision that must be made that involves competing ethical values and considerations, (2) includes with various available options about which reasonable people can disagree, (3) concretely affects people’s lives, and (4) might be influenced by external and internal factors such as social norms, oppression, religious and other personal beliefs, socially-imposed constraints (such as laws), and physical limitations. Issues that only affect a few people or have only a minor impact are probably too narrow. Issues that you are not open to examining with an open mind will also not work well for this assignment. For some topic suggestions, you might want to browse the website of a reputable news organization or review some political blogs you follow. Identify at least two news articles on your topic located using the South University Online Library and/or reputable news outlets. Make sure that the articles you choose present at least two different accounts of the values that should be considered in addressing the issue and include information and facts that you can use to develop your arguments and analysis. If you cannot locate two news articles on your topic, or if all of the articles share the same perspective, you should choose another topic. You should cite the two articles using correct APA citation. Explain at least one ethical theory from your assigned readings. Cite support from the primary text selections in the chapter as well as authoritative secondary sources such as the course text and online lectures. Analyze the issue using the theory of ethics. For example, you might discuss utilitarianism, deontology, virtue/care ethics, or existentialism. Contrast this analysis with the approach a second theory would take. For instance, you might contrast deontology with utilitarianism by distinguishing duty from the principle of utility, or compare care ethics and existentialism by discussing the relative approaches to intersubjectivity.

Write Your Discussion Post Analyzing Literature Paul and Elder (2012) associate three phases with their definition of critical thinking (p. xix): It analyzes thinking . . . By focusing on the parts of thinking in any situation—its purpose, question, information, inferences, assumptions, concepts, implications, and point of view. It evaluates thinking . . . By figuring out its strengths and weaknesses: the extent to which it is clear, accurate, precise, relevant, deep, broad, logical, significant, and fair. It improves thinking . . . By building on its strengths while reducing its weaknesses. Your Literature Review assignment due this week will apply all of these phases of critical thinking to the scholarly sources you have selected. For this discussion activity, you will select one journal article you have selected for the Literature Review assignment and apply the first phase to analyze the thinking represented in the article: First, describe the topics for which you researched relevant scholarly articles. Next, identify one of these articles and explain how it is relevant to your topic. Then use the Elements of Thought Discussion Template [DOC] to analyze the article: What is the main purpose of the article? What is the key question the author of the article is addressing? What is the most important information in the article? What key conclusions (inferences) did the author of the article come to and present? What were the most important ideas (concepts) that one would need to understand to understand the author's line of reasoning? What were the main assumptions (that is, what the author is taking for granted that might be questioned)? What was the main point of view (that is, the author's perspective) presented in the article?
