Ben Tryer does his own investigation into immigration in Homer and around the world. How does he go about doing research? What is it about the way he does research that is the source of his struggle? His research puts him awkward circumstances. He is surrounded by different people with different views and opinions. And when people who have completely different views come together and protest things can get rowdy and confrontational. The speaker says that he doesn't like to get involved when things get heated.

What are the steps you take to make sure your sources are credible? What sources do you believe are credible? Why? Do you think that people can discuss controversial issues without being biased? Credible sources can come from anywhere. You just have to know that these sources are going to be leaning some way. The best thing you can do is find a topic that you are studying or writing about, and find the most bias opinions on both sides and come up with your own thoughts. Most political things nowadays no one has right. Each news station and source think they have it right and everyone else is wrong. It is possible to read an unbiased research paper. But the writer will have to write like a robot.

Lastly, what is the community you are researching in your paper? How did you decide you wanted to research it? Was it fear? Excitement? Current knowledge? Or something else? It was a random thought. I was brainstorming on what I thought might be interesting to learn about and it hit my mind. I and struggling with the idea of asking people about weight. It can sometimes seem offensive even when I am truly curious about the topic. I am excited to see what results i find.
