UnGoogleable Research Paper Website Selection Reflection

Today in class, I researched websites to find out more information about my topic for my research paper. To search for websites, I used some of the links Ms.Priester introduced us to to in class. When I found a website related to my focus question, I read the article and made sure it had a title, a publishing date, and a publisher, to make sure they were at grade or above grade level. I knew some of the websites I found were unacceptable because they had ads or way too many ads and they had no dates, titles, or publishers. I know the websites I selected are good because they have all the qualities of above or at grade level article should have or they were from professors or an educated person. Tomorrow, I expect that Ms. Priester will tell me that I did a good job researching for my topic.

UnGoogleable Research – What I Already Know


My focus question is “How does the definition of beauty differ across the world"?I already know that every person has their own meaning of beauty and it all depends on the person. Some people may think that personality makes someone beautiful while anothe person may think that a person's features is beauty. I also now that beauty differs across the world because of the many different variety of cultures we have. Every culture is different and they have their own perspective of beauty and what makes a person beautiful, it can be from accessories, to piercing, to clothing, etc. Additionally there is no definition of beauty and everyone is going to have their own definition to it. By doing research, I hope to learn what people on the otherside of the world or even neighbors, think about beauty and their definition.
